Hey Dennis, weren’t you saying Windows 7 Phone was so great and it would knock Apple off their perch? Guess what, it’s dead. Microsoft decided to follow Apple yet again and use the same base OS for desktop and mobile. So Windows 7 Phone is an orphan. With 8 coming out its app store will dwindle since developers know there will be no future for their apps. Those who trusted Microsoft to put out a competitive, long-term mobile platform are yet again screwed.

Seems that the only smart phone company you can expect any long-term OS support from is Apple. So far every phone has been able to upgrade to the latest OS for at least three years after release, at least a year after sales ended. Androids have been very bad with this, often never even catching up to the latest version of the OS (and often when they do finally catch up, it’s short-lived as the next version is released soon after). And now we see what happens to Windows phones.

So get a Samsung android phone. Ether way, stop sending your hard earned money to those gay thieves in Cupertino. This is getting embarrassing! Consumers are ready for the Windows 8 phone which will start cutting into Apple profits mid to late 2013

It comes down to who do you trust? Bill gates or Steve Jobs. Since Jobs has passed on, so one can only trust Bill Gates and the new Windows 8 phone that will roll out next year. It will crush Apple into Apple Sauce
