Re: Let's talk Nokia stock. Really.

920 is slightly cheaper than Iphone and also Galaxyies. Not sure if this gives an advantage, but I'm sure they will at least one or two devices more thx to the lower price tag.

Or lose one or two, thanks to the suspiciously low price and recent rapid price drops so soon after release.

I love rapid price drops.

You won't see the same fast price drop for 920. Will be simular to galaxies. You can't compare with iPones since the releasing so few devices.

The price is not rediculas low, just slighly cheaper than top galaxies.

I cannot be sure if this is correct, mainly he uses this argument to point out that Elop's strategy is not very rational but this is exactly the thing that comes to mind when looking at the WP strategy :D

So every athlete, every single ball player is insane? Maybe :) The point here is they are NOT doing the SAME thing over again. WP8 IS totally different than WP7x. All you trolls have pointed to that particular little thing over and over and over and over again and again regarding the incompatibility of WP8 and WP7. Trolls have a very short memory :D

How will the difference between WP7 and WP8 benefit the user?

Someone trained in Propaganda Techniques would answer with something like this:

"It is going to revolutionize the way people work. People will finally be able to be efficient and have fun at the same time, in a simple and easy to use, but powerful device. Your friends at school will think you are the coolest. Your kids will think you are awesome. The opposite sex will find you irresistible. Even the geeks that have been calling you troll for so long will finally be brought to their knees and admit that you were right all along for putting your blind faith in Microsoft!"

OK. Maybe not quite in those words, but you get the idea.
;)

Alright, lets get back on topic (and to reality) now.

The largest carrier in the U.S, Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ), is using HTC’s Windows Phone 8X device as its very first foray into Windows Phone and has totally ignored the Lumia 900 and other Windows Phones launched this year. If Nokia (NOK) can’t even compete with HTC on Verizon (VZ), it will be tough for Nokia to compete with its Lumia devices against other big rivals in U.S, including Apple (AAPL).

I love rm42's answer to that question :D My answer is I don't know and I don't care. For me it is an alternative to the boring and stale ios and android. NT is a powerfull OS with no inherent restrictions. With the Lumia 920 I will get a top phone (way too large but ok) and I will get constant updates and improvents preventing me from getting bored.

You do know you'll be luck if that thing has the ability to transfer files through bluetooth, right?

WP7.x doesn't sell, if WP8 offers no discernible advantages it seems unlikely it will sell either.
