It’s beautiful and all until….I see the back cover and it’s full of designing bullshit. With all the yellows or reds and kickstand whatsoever, it just feels so cluttered and so on. Nokia is the way to go for sexy non-Apple devices! :)

We have a perfect running OS on 1Ghz, Android can’t run normaly on dual cores. You are lame. and WP7 is beautiful!

Microsoft already has good, unique, software on its hands, but Windows Phone handsets lack a certain pizazz, a certain X Factor.  That’s what Nokia brings to the table.

So I am no so sure, steller Nokia hardware is going to make it easier for HTC to sell a Windows phone.

WP7, is ugly(imo) and processor hungry.  Yes I’ve used it. WebOS would have been smarter.

Every single OS will have its development time extend as it gets more feature rich.  Product of QA and complication.  With the iphone 5 out this Sept how long has it been since the last real iOS phone branch? A year and a half by my count.  They were iterating every 6 months or so at one point.

Development time is a function of management and developers

Nokia’s plan of divesting engineers to start their own companies (that Nokia effectively owns) is brilliant and may save the company which will have no more than 7 percent of the world.

No one is prepared for how well HP’s webOS will do.

Nokia will actually release phones in Europe and the U.S. at the same time, it’s just that in Europe Nokia will sell to Carphone Warehouse and consumers can buy them immediately. In the U.S., the carrier sales channel is still paramount, and carriers have their own test cycles before they’ll put them on shelves. U.S. carriers have nothing against Nokia at this point, and they all support Windows Phone. It’s more a matter of timing than emphasis.

HTC grew up with Microsoft and its bet on Android was not supposed to be the save-the-company thing it became, just a diversification effort. Now Windows Phone is its diversification effort, but it’s floundering. If anything is going to jumpstart consumer – and developer – interest in Windows Phone, it’s a series of solid phones with Nokia’s brand and global distribution channel. No matter how fast and nimble Nokia gets, HTC is likely to remain faster and nimbler, so it should be able to ride the OS’ improved momentum.

So it seems that they STILL do not want a chunk of this Market. So I guess we have to depend on existing OEMs to step up since Nokia wants to ignore us.
