Most of the fomer Symbian users moved on to Android Smartphone platform. Datz way better than a locked down limited OS.

Mobile OS market share

Android OS = 75%

WinPhone = less than 3%

I dont that arguement count much really. Except you dont like MTN abd the fact that Nigeria as it is... There actually a big advantage of economy of scale provided by MTN that can not be adequately matched by any other vendor in Nigeria. MTN can buy cheaper due to volume and sell at a price advantage than any other provider. As they seem to be selling the phone unlocked, this would actually help to make it penetrate the market much better than let's say GLO. The price for the L920 is quite cheap compare to the price charged here where I live or even the UK. Only the L820 is much pricier than we have here.
Look, except you have forgotten what this thread is all about. It is about Nokia and my argument on why they choose MTN as an exclusive vendor for three months is the fact that, the phones are factory unlocked. So, if Nokia want to really penetrate the market, they should involve all the service providers at the same time. Never undermine the power of small providers' for any reason. Thank you.

Never knew the andriod OS ruling the market now were bought by peeps who behave like cattle . . .You need to show respect to peoples choices and not try to sound off the mark . . .

And by the way . .You have never used the Windows Phone OS to label it unusable . . .My experience with it has been fun so far . . . .

Chuck D: sorry o, I don't know where you got your info that "people" are ordering Lumias in "droves" but I think that's just pure "FABOO" Na you just dey fabricate that stats.[/color]

You are obviously stale in current tech events . . . . Please hit google, then search for Lumia 920 demand and get educated . . .



And also be adequately informed before quoting me again . . . .

6 years ago . . .Nokia was the undeniable heavy weight champion in the Mobile ecosphere . .Where are they now ? . . . .Don't discount the current buzz of the windows phone 8 simply because of current stats . . .

Windows 8 & Windows Phone 8 similar kernel build will be a game changer . . . .

My PS3 and Xbox 360 are 'locked down, walled gardens'.

You think I care?

Smartphone usability, app selection, design, UI/UX...those are features many people like myself look at when buying a phone.

It's not about just flashing a custom ROM for flashing sake. If what you have already does what you want it to do (and any omissions are small enough to be overlooked), what's the point of whining about 'openness'?

apple this apple that, bb this bb that,
apple and android has the highest number of apps, no doubt but how many of the apps do we actually use the most important a heavy user would download should not be more than 1,000.

as regards windows phone 8 its a lovely OS its very smooth and runs well even on low processing power and low RAM unlike android that needs so much power and ram to run smoothly, I would liken WP8 to the IOS which runs well even on 256 RAM.

windows phone 8 is a lovely OS i can track windows phone 8 wherever it is on earth through find my phone and i can also remote wipe it if it's stolen or misplaced to protect my information, you can as well remotely lock the phone wherever it is for your protection and if its its remotely locked especially on the Nokia Lumia 920 it can't be switched off because it doesn't have a removable battery, that is one of the essence of having irreplaceable battery.

Lumia 920 right is selling like hot cakes all over the world.

As regards blackberry, blackberry is dying so fast especially in United States and developed world, its only in Africa and parts of Asia we still purchase blackberry all we use it for is ping, blackberry doesn't have apps like WP8, IOS AND android. although BB is making plans for a brand new OS that can accommodate new apps about the same ind of apps like Android, IOS and WP8, but that should be till next year b4 we see their new device, i see no reason for BB MESSENGER now when i can instant message, and make free video calls via skype to android, IOS and WP8 users as long as I have my internet sub.

Well i leave you guys to just make up your minds on the next devices to purchase, but the war now is between Lumia 920, Apple Iphone 5 and Galaxy S3, which ever u get now is awesome.

take care guys

Funjay: Why am i not moved by all these? if you like, launch another 1 with mini pressing iron, all na effizy.
Mayb when 1 comes at a cheaper rate dt will provide me with electricity when PHCN strikes, i may consider it.

Remember in the 90's when dt big satelite dish use to be the hallmark of big boyism? or that big NOKIA communicatior early 2000? Life is in phases, men are in sizes. All these buzz will go away and anoda 1 will come b4 u say Jack, so, if u nid 1 and u have the doe, go ahead, for me, i get 2 correct phones dt are serving me well, wen they are tired, i will buy another 1. Wont be using my hard earned money to be changin phone every year, i no be politicians abeg.

"Do not love the world, neither the things of the world, if any man loves the world, the love of the father is not in him"

Appreciate good inventions, pay for the service if you have the cash but dont ever be crazy about those inventions cos they will soon fade.......
