You are a troll, and will get reported, deported and aborted.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I know lots of people whose iPhones DON'T work!
Nothing is perfect, whether it's an iPhone or a Nokia Lumia......

The bazzuka was not made for phone, unfortunately. It was for a real cam. But I agree. It's awesome.

If you're thinking of getting a High-End Windows Phone... just get an iPhone instead.

Seriously, there's nothing unique about WP's to get over an iPhone.
Unlike Android phones (where customizability, shitload of features, better size, S Pens and what-nots).

Its a better hardware, software and customer service all-round.

If you're talking price, then yes... you've got a point.
But then again, it only makes Android a more attractive purchase.

Let's see how BBX will evolve (sink/swim?), if Sailfish will actually sail, if Tizen becomes a Tizaint, if FirefoxOS will ignite any userbase, or if Canonical can keep in touch with its UbuntuTouch/UbuntuAndroid/UbuntuPhone/UbuntuEdge/whatever they'll call it next.

I'm not usually one to get into such discussions, but which iPhone has a 41 megapixel camera?

Re: If you're thinking about a Lumia, just get an iPhone
 
So, iphone has Nokia-Buildquality, free (and working!) offline Navigation, free integrated Office and mass-storage mode while not being ridicusly overpriced anymore?
Cool story, i don't believe it.

Re: If you're thinking about a Lumia, just get an iPhone
 
I have both Lumia 620 and iPhone 4s and 5. I love the feel of Lumia in my hand. It is not as well built as premium iPhones, but for less than $220, you get a device that is as smooth as iPhone, does email and calendar better than iPhone and has superb maps and navigation. IPhones just don't feel as good in my hand without some case. And Lumia also just works.

N900 - work
iPhone - just works
Android - make it work
Windows Phone - pretends it works.

Actually N900 unfortunately did not work for me. Couldnt sync corporate email, and was unwieldy. Dont know about Android. Windows phone works on par with iphone.

OK OP thank you for your supreme wisdom. I could not had thought it out by myself the obvious truth.

Re: If you're thinking about a Lumia, just get an iPhone
 
TBH, you have a point. Windows Phone and the iPhone are similar in terms of ecosystem, quality, etc. BUT, the iPhone is such a status symbol (which I hate)n expensive (read: status symbol), and it's not Nokia. I will stick with you to the end Nokia!

Well yeah but from now on it will not be possible, sorry.
There's no Nokia Mobile Phones any longer, from now on it's only Microsoft Lumia WP phones.

What will you choose now, when your Nokia wears out?

No, not true. Nokia is not allowed to make devices other then WP (and asha BUT even Asha is part of MS now) UNTIL 2016. After that, who knows. Maybe Nokia will buy Jolla.

Nokia is not allowed to make any kind of mobile devices until 2016 an that is really really awfully far away.

Three years is a long time in the handset industry, and why do you suppose Nokia would be in a position to start from scratch and being competitive at it??
There's no HW design capability, no SW design capability, no MFG capability, no sourcing capability... Nothing!

When 2016 comes around Nokia will not be in a position to start making phones, and if there is a decision to aquire some company that makes its own phones there would not be any point in rebranding it as "Nokia", or would there?

Well, at least, hopefully, it is with a certai Elop (my phone (N9) suggested FLOP) out of the picture

Two years, 2014 and 2015. And I think that Nokia owns 10% of Vertu. Also Nokia can buy and sell an other brand?

for got sake people get over it there will be no more mobile devices from nokia. They have other stuff they will fight for instead.

They will be competitor to swedish ericsson on the mobile infra instead of mobile phones.

Lumia for iPhone = 6 for half a dozen and a half...fact !!!

Neither shouldn't be an option unless you have a rather limited view of what a smartphone should be.
