Why show up in this forum to tell those that actually bought it that it's a failure or doomed or whatever. Yesterday everyone called the Verizon iPhone a failure because people weren't lined up like at ATT....at least I can dis android because an evo is close by...hornet played with wp7 for 2 min and now he's an expert lol.

that's true, his opinion is quite uninformed, and if any more trolling or flaming happens be sure and report it.

I think the i4 sold a crapload yesterday, and supposedly it's going to slow android sales on vzw as well.

I know the Verizon iPhone sold...but to the people line watching, it was a failure . Wp7 just got the largest cell phone maker to abandon their platform and use wp7...yep, it's doomed lol!

Apple has their FairPlay DRM..see the trend here..




Google acquired Widevine DRM in December 2010, which is also used by Netflix for video..so my guess is once thats implemented is when Android gets Netflix...

LMAO @ people acting like they dont know the only reason Nokia went with Microsoft is because Elop used to work for Microsoft. Why else would they be STUPID enough to abandon the biggest OS in the world for the smallest? I guess some people dont understand how businesses work. It damn sure wasnt because WP7 is a good OS.

This is funny... The largest phone manufacturer in the world jumps to WP7 and somehow that still isn't good enough? And honestly it doesn't matter if the OS is "all that". Look at the iPhone. The OS is terrible compared to others out there. I mean they couldn't even take video until iPhone 4! And look at how much it sells!

What matters is if it sells! So now you'll have MS fanboys AND Nokia fanboys all over it. I think we should save this thread and revisit it in one year... See who takes back their words....

I don't think the people that like Nokia are going to go with this..many of the people Nokia got was because they used open platforms..did you see the 1500 nokia people walking out of their job when they killed symbian as a form of silent protest?

But hey, in a year anything can happen :/
