Did Microsoft just screw Nokia with Windows Phone 8?

These bitches think they can even fuck us up. Lol only a dumb moron would buy a Windows Phone. Ever again. Android for the win !!

Nokia in the leadership of Elop knew this very well, but they needed to materialize their partnership pre WP8. and so they did, hence the current lumia line ups. It was a hard decision for Microsoft as well, but it’s the right path. Nokia is and was a willing victim.

eeerrr what happened to Yugatech baket ganito ang mga napa-publish na articles. im no grammar expert, pero na-nose bleed ako sa article.. na-hack ba ang yuga?hindi na ba si sir Abe ang nagsusulat or di ba nache-check man lang ang entries bago ilagay dito?

All a matter of what you need IMO. would you need WP8 features? if yes,then hold on. if not, well, got ake your pick. Am getting my Dad a Lumia 900 for two reasons: its adequately big enough for him to type and see the screen properly (bad eyes) and the friendly user-interface (not that tech-literate). for me, Android is more suitable for my needs.

specs in-ratio with the price, Windows 7 phones are already screwed VS Android based phones without this latest news.

screw is a a very negative word to describe this. nokia is aware of this limitation in the first place and if you will check the phone, it runs very smooth with its non dual core processor. Nokia chose WP because it will become the major player on this ecosystem = meaning when you hear WP, it will equal to Nokia ; if they chose Android, they will have hard time gaining momentum as there are so many players/manufacturers competing in this platform (Samsung, LG, HTC etc) and moving up is crucial, if not impossible to achieve their strategy.

I have doubted Nokia and Microsoft succes since the day they came up with Windows-based Nokia phones. I go for Android.

Elop screwed Nokia.

Mali lang ang pag advertise ng Microsoft..

bakit hindi nyo gayahin ang apple? they put ios6 on 3gs, pero ang dami kulang.. just like wp7.8 and wp8

dapat, wp8 parin ang tawag sa wp7.8, tapos sabihin lang, may mga hindi gumagana due to hardware limitation.. tapos. parang apple lang. hehe

Methinks Nokia’s biggest mistake was not adopting Android. Then again, seeing how good Samsung is now in terms of hardware, I doubt if Nokia with Android would’ve been enough to keep Samsung at bay.

if lumia 900 will be sold around 12k i’ll buy one for experience.

I’m just wondering why are you so concerned about the non inclusion of current wp 7 to wp 8 update. Windows is a great OS, so even if the Lumia remain at wp7, they’re still the best. Just like most PC’s here in the Philippines which still run thru the windows XP despite vista and the wp7 being available. Do you reallly think you will use the wp8 update on your cellphone? I bet most of you use it for calling and texting only. Most of the time it is still better to use the pc or laptop for surfing and of course your work sheets.

Stephen Elop killed Meego (when it was brilliant and almost done), commit to Windows 7 (then Microsoft tell the world it’s a dead-end product, so soon after product launch). Nokia also probably have Win 8 tablets in the works (then Microsoft announced Surface).

Now Nokia is so cheap, that it’s shares are selling at a discount to the value of its assets (Patents, etc). Talagang yata Trojan Horse si Mr. Elop na pinadala ni Ballmer para mabili ng Nokia ng mura…

Or Microsoft doesn’t care about the only company that care to trust in their vision…

Sad to see Nokia fell from the top so quickly…

(Off topic: As for those Microsoft Surface tablets, hindi kaya Nokia ang gumawa niyan, kasi Magnesium something ang case, ala Lumia…)

And MS will continue to pay Nokia, although Bing maps uses NavTeq (Nokia-own) mapping data WP8 will be using Nokia Maps instead of Bing Maps. With that, the Redmond software giant will be paying the Finnish mobile manufacturer for licensing Nokia Maps.

PS: and daming taong napakaNEGATIVE, wag nalang magsalita kung wala din matinong sasabihin po sa comment :)

Android is the KING OF FRAGMENTATION, don’t flaunt the Android, at wag nyo kayo magsalita ng patapos about Windows Phone kung di nyo pa natry gamitin ok? or kung wala kayong masyadong background about the said OS. ok ok?

I think Microsoft practically did.

I believe they did a lot of damage to potential sales of Nokia’s current Lumia line. Nokia is already struggling to make a significant footprint in the smartphone market and the recent announcement just set the entire ballgame in stone. Whatever gains made by Nokia in market share would probably plateau now, until they start rolling out the new windows phone 8 units. It’s already a hard sell for Nokia to push an underdog ecosystem to consumers and it’s going to be even harder knowing that the new apps for windows phone 8 won’t be backwards compatible with the current crop of windows phone.

As a consumer, it’s hard for me to imagine being convinced to buying into the ecosystem knowing that the unit I get NOW, even though it may currently be the flaghip, will not run the apps that are coming.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t doubt the capabilities of current windows phones. In fact, I think they’re kinda awesome (…And at that I’m a SGSII, SGNote, and IP4S user)

… Stew in this for a moment, “why buy Nokia’s new-ish Lumias when they basically told me they’re going to be outdated in a few months?”

My two cents…

Bad news: Yes, Microsoft just screwed Nokia..
Good news: Lumia phones prices will definitely go down. Hopefully, Lumia 800 and 900 at 12k or below & Lumia 610 and Lumia 710 at 8k or below..

sad naman to. i just got my lumia 800 from globe last april when it was launch. dapat pala nag galaxy note na lang ako that time. pero im happy with how flawless windows os is.

does anyone here able to upgrade to nokia’s latest firmware for lumia 800?

my firmware is still 1600.2483.8107.11501

there is a new version …12070 yata yun pero when i tried to update using zune it only says my software is updated. i think zune is for windows software only, how about firmware?

ganito na talaga ang microsoft ngayon.. iniiwang naka bitay ang mga legacy… save for Windows desktop OS.

i think microsoft no longer cares because the nokia market share continues to dwindle as apple and samsung continue to dominate the smartphone market. kawawa nmn mga affected d2. pero i still own a nokia 5630 coz it’s very handy and i use it for calls/text,musicplayer and i use my galaxy s2 for everything else, gps, camera and apps :)

Sa mga nagyayabang ng android phones nila, pwede ba subukan niyo muna ang WINDOWS PHONE. Mamamangha kayo sa bilis at smoothness ng Windows OS.

Kaya isaksak niyo na lang sa mga baga niyo ang super laggy na android phones niyo.

meron ba app para sa lumia 900 na kaya mag play ng .mkv vids?

thanks po

I dont think MS screwed Nokia. Theyre probably cutting their losses by using plan B. Plan B which is WP8. Lumias werent selling like hotcakes like they expected, with the their paltry specs and the release of big boys like HTC One X and SGIII, there was really no contest. If your know your going down, why not cut the cord that’ll drag you down and bring out the fresh goods or news of a product that will keep the current titans at bay.
