Good point, word of mouth marketing does go a long way. Though Nokia's competitors might have worked on that (since over a year those Elop threads do not want to die and by complaining about Nokia's CEO decisions, hope not as vocally as is going on here, womm for Nokia sort of loses credibility)
LMAO! Seriously? Nokia abandons all current products, lays off thousands and announces they will use MS exclusively and you don't think that was news anyone but techies heard about? I own one business in the US and two in China and my employees on both continents sure heard about it. It made all the Chinese & US news outlets...ostrich much?
I thought they already did that. I have a Lumia 800 in my hand as a result. It's a very nice device. And although it doesn't have a front facing camera, it looks and feels better than an iPod and an iPhone, and it's nothing like an n800. Did Nokia do something wrong? If so, is there anything else you would like me to tell the board? But I warn you, they have a habit of not listening to me.
He is spot on
Well, why don't Nokia/MS say SOMETHING about WP8 being available (or not) on the existing Lumias? I take this as a NO with 80 % probability. Elop is not the problem. Elop is just a bi-product, a sort of inevitable waste or poo that drips from the Nokia Board, like sweat from the crotch of a dirty old drunk in a Finnish sauna.
