Elop abandoned Symbian even though all it needed was a new UI and the Belle update proves this.
^Because he is simply a trojan horse for Microsoft plain and simple and he is an abuser of capitalism because he is laying off thousands and moving manufacturing to China.
And he bites the N9 design for MS phones. He looks like a chubby little Ihop chef. He is a piece of crap ruining Finland’s income.
These windows phones could have been meego phones and the apps and ecosystem as he calls it would be all built around QT and would be much larger by now and you could still have used html5 as much as you wanted.

You will see N9 has a longer standby time and talk time, the lumia has a better front facing camera, N9 has higher resolution screen, N9 has twice the ram and 64gb hard drive versus lumias 16gb, disregard wrong info about N9 not having rss reader and I think it can do other format ringtones via 3rd party software, and lumia has 1.4gh processor where N9 is 1ghz
Basically N9 has more ram storage and better operating system and will be overclocked soon to probably the same speed as the lumia 900.

In what way are they remotely inferior? Are you high or just stupid? Even if you just go by hardware the 900 is superior or matching in every way to the N9. And it has a far more extensive ecosystem as the N9 has…none.

Ask RIM how easy it is to release new hardware.

Microsoft can’t win at all with some people. Windows Phone OS is fast and light only requiring 256mb of ram, but people complain that the hardware is not dual core. Speed and battery life is what matters. Would you prefer a bloated OS that requires dual core? In any case, a new version of Windows Phone arrives in the fall for spec addicts.

I want to like the Lumia, but the fanboys are making it hard.
