Out of stock :eek: :eek:

Re: Nokia Dumping Lumia 800's
 

Yeah, at those prices you're going to have to be quick.

I'll admit that the Lumia does become an attractive phone when under the £150 mark.

WP market share will explode :D

Re: Nokia Dumping Lumia 800's
 

Too bad those prices have yet to fully extend to the US - 489.99 USD at Expansys.

Amazon has a few from retailers that aren't fulfilled by Amazon - that equates to "not trusted" for the most part.

Re: Nokia Dumping Lumia 800's
 

Nokia will also explode into bankruptcy. Selling a Lumia 800 for £149 (even before you strip out VAT, strip out retailer margin) and Nokia are taking a massive loss on Lumia devices.

Microsoft have enough cash to push WP in the long-term, but they will not be able to put out the fire which is burning Nokia to death.

Re: Nokia Dumping Lumia 800's
 

Negative. This should have been done half a year ago. Nokia is dependent on the WP ecosystem to survive in the smartphone business. The short term profit from way too high priced Lumias (that didn't come anyway), is of no use to Nokia.

Re: Nokia Dumping Lumia 800's
 

Are you being oblivious to how you cannot upgrade those phones and sooner than later Microsoft will also pull the rug from under those 7.5-7.8 phones too?

Seriously. Either you are the most daft person I've ever seen or the most successful astro-turfer I've ever seen.

Re: Nokia Dumping Lumia 800's
 

You will get limited upgrade. This happened with iPhone line up too. I have links 800 and its a great little phone that already received at least 3 updates. No reason to get disjointed over specc's cogent arguments

Re: Nokia Dumping Lumia 800's
 

Actually, the upgrades for the iPhone 3GS have gone up to iOS 6. That's their 3 version upgrade policy, implicit or not. The "limited" nature of their updates were originally surrounding hardware that was introduced in later iterations of the phone.

But core upgrades happened regardless. 7.5 to 7.8 is not a full upgrade. It's only the start screen. Perhaps some tweaks to IE. For what it is worth, it's a half-*** update. The Lumia 800 enjoyed a full upgrade to 7.5 from 7.x (can't remember the exact number). And from there, it'll get the aforesaid half-*** update to 7.8 but never to 8.0.

That's horrible no matter however you wish to spin it.

To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people! I've known sheep that could outwit you. I've worn dresses with higher IQs. But you think you're an intellectual, don't you, ape?
