sayang talaga ang nokia… matibay at hindi ka niloloko sa presyo, at ang mga design ay malinis, hindi gaya ng samsung, ang pang intsik ang design. wrong timing lang talaga, nag introduce ng windows sa kasagsagan ng popularity ng android at ios. timing lang talaga. ang linis ng windows at pang mga visual artist ang layout. apps lang ang naging kulang kasi hindi popular ang os niya. sayang talaga!
