I think that you are wrong. Pepople will like the simplicity and smoothness. 99% of the people care for few simple things and this phone delivers. It may not be a huge seller, but it will at least give NOKIA a foothold into the US market and help them re-introduce themselves. I think their strategy will payoff. At least Lumia 900 is making some waves.
> Agreed, it took me some time to analyze and understand Just what it is Microsoft-Nokia is trying to do, So i had to understand from point one, And you are right... WIndows phone is amimed at first time Users, thats why Ms is using Metro-UI, i mean no hardcore- Iphone, Android user would like this,

And if you notice, the price was brought Low... So that those who could not afford a smartphone can, So the reason most hardcore fans don't like it is because it's not aimed at them.

This is not a war. A war would imply a fight. This is not a fight, this is simply slaughter. Nokia continues to screw up badly by scheduling a release date on a holiday when all the stores are closed. Online sales at Amazon were the only place it sold well, and I suspect it won't sell well for long. Let's see what the people that bought it think of this already-outdated thing.
To be honest, I'm being positive about Ms-Nokia, Because people were attacking them so much, Me included it made my Sympathetic to them and now i want to see them do well, OFC they are just a business so i'm not going to out of my way to glorify a windows phone, But i'm being Hopeful, i do think windows phone can do well, But first, they must change their marketing tactics,

-- the way the Lumias are advertised do not make it look very nice, I saw a samsung Note advert (UK) and that was so good...
I think danramos, windows phone is not aimed at you, this is why you don't like it, it is aimed at first time users and people who like simple/fast... thus the Metro-UI, i believe the Idea is to get first time users To learn window phone and stay loyal to it.

So i agree with Lumia Man, Nokia has climbed a mountain, so i will give them a round of applause, Firstly because i live in Europe, and Nokia is one of the last European global phone manufactures. and secondly because i would like to see how windows Phone evolves, I'm not going to lie, I like the simple interface of windows phone - sometimes, Like, eg in the Thread Messenger, and the simplicity of the Keyboard(In portrait mode), But windows phone is not aimed at me there are things i dislike, it is aimed at first time users of a smart-phone and those who like simple.
I do think android will fall soon or start going down, Not because i'm being a fanboy, but because it is over saturated, that is what happens, IE Myspace, Hi5, AOL, Apple (Yes i know the data of the activations) that is what over saturation does, People long to be different.
