Hey Microsoft, when you show up to the party a few years late, what do you expect?

I'm waiting on the quad core processor phones to come out this month or next, and then I'm ditching my Droid X.

Can't wait!

How much did Apple pay for this propaganda? The Nokia phone fix is out in 7 days. Meanwhile they are giving the phones away for free. Where’s the problem? My cousin has the 900 and it is wicked fast on the 1.4ghz proc. Incredible phone.

Nokia’s “Beta Test” ads are coming back to bite them on their arse. Schadenfreude.... :)

I’m liking my 710 better all the time. Zero problems.

I honestly couldn’t be happier with it.

MS tends to show up to parties a few years late (4th or so to market with a command line OS for desktop computers, 3rd to market with a GUI running on DOS, 5th or 6th overall in desktop GUI, 4th to market with a browser), never seems to bother them.

Kind of like Apple showed up to the corporate enterprise party a few decades too late? Oh wait. I forgot Apple is going to "own the enterprise" any time now.

Based on Windows Mobile vs Android alone, yes.

I now have an HTC Windows Phone after having an android phone for 2 years.
It’s the best phone BY FAR I’ve ever had.
I cant wait for the Windows 8 phone to come out.

The Nokia Lumia Win phone got great reviews prior to launch. I purchased one yesterday. And the thing rocks. This story is BS.

You got to love the headline. “Many problems.” Then the writer goes on to detail one “problem.” The data glitch. Which was resolved and credited.

Did this author ask if Apple was done during iPhone 4’s antenna-gate; the 4s battery-gate? Doubt it. Apple also had data glitches and never offered refund.

This piece is pure crap.

“Hey Microsoft, when you show up to the party a few years late, what do you expect? “

I am a little confused by your post... I bought my first Windows Mobile Pocket PC Phone in 2005. It originally had the Windows Mobile 5 operating system. It is a Sprint PPC-6700. The phone still has an active hacker community behind it. It has a 416mhz ARM processor. It was one of Sprint's first EVDO phones. I have upgraded to WM 6.5. The phone is 7 years old and I still use it as a backup. It does most of what our newer Android phones do and a couple things that they won't. It is a quality device; I wonder how many of the newer phones will still be ticking 7 years later?
