Operators: Nokia Would Sell Better With Android
nk497 writes "Mobile operators are complaining that Nokia's Lumia line of handsets would sell better if it ran a different OS — or if Microsoft was more willing to put marketing money behind Windows Phone. 'No one comes into the store and asks for a Windows phone,' said an executive in charge of mobile devices at one European operator. He said Microsoft's software worked nicely with PCs and allowed you 'to do tons of cool things,' but few customers knew this. 'If the Lumia with the same hardware came with Android in it and not Windows, it would be much easier to sell,' he said."
Yup. people forget that nokia's windows phones have poorer hardware than the android or iphone counterparts and cannot multitask properly or as well as a typical quad core android phone. They have single core processors and shitty graphics. Add to that the shitty mongo/bongo or whatever its called windows interface and the typical micro$oft (yes thats M$ indicating the piles of cash the convicted monopolist formerly had. eventually it will become MS when office gets supplanted by google office and they will no longer be relevant) bloatware and you get a mess in a generic square package. obviously the whole point of releasing phones on this obsolete platform was for the former M$FT shill who is now CEO of nokia to drive it into the ground so M$ could buy them out for cents on the dollar. the fact that nokia is now run by a crook should not surprise anyone. dump your stock and get out if you have any.
This iPhone just works. credit where credit is due.
No credit due!
Apple doesn't deserve ANY credit for the iPhone. They just took a bunch of existing technologies and slapped them all together.
Even the electronics isn't Apple's. It's just a rebadged HTC design.
Other companies did all the hard work and Apple just STOLE it all, and patented it, and is now suing the original creators.
Remember, good artists copy, GREAT ARTISTS STEAL!
The Linux based (!=Android) N9 outsells the Windows phones

My exception safety is -fno-exceptions.
There are best seller ratings, too. Lumia 900 topped the chart for more than a week immediately after the sales start, despite being split into two separate items by color. Now the black variant is at #3, and cyan went down to #11, after becoming backordered up to 9 days ahead.

Because it's a laggy, buggy, pre-iOS trash OS. Unlike every other modern mobile OS it doesn't prioritize the UI thread and thus will never stop lagging, no matter how fast the hardware gets.
Post examples of this massive, fraudulent Astroturfing campaign on Amazon, or STFU please.
Haha, that would be you. Long-time slashdot contributor.
NOT
Hope you sleep well at night, knowing what a TURD you are.
Like all pain, suffering is a signal that something isn't right
