Since when it's an irony to add different viewpoints to a discussion? Those 4 links come from different sources and have different argumentations. I found them interesting and shared them here. Is that bad?

What's wrong about discussing Nokia platforms and products competitiveness (i.e. Lumia / Windows Phone--your company adopted it, we never asked for it) in a thread about Nokia stock and how it's performing?

I have tried to explain here why I believe it's wrong to grow more posts on Lumia and Windows Phone out of the Competitors subforum (being Off-Topic an alternative). As many users have reminded, this is maemo.org. Your opinion is welcome in that thread.

So really, my problem is less about discussing Nokia products and platforms in this thread, and more about the location of this thread under General. I'll post the couple of links below and these will be the last Lumia / WP related posts I'll have out of Competitors / Off-Topic. You are invited to do the same.

It's pretty naive to show up in a thread about Nokia stock and try to convince people it's doing just fine under the current circumstances.

I'm not a financial advisor. I'm not trying to convince you. I just posted 4 links that I still believe contribute to this thread. On a Saturday morning and because I actually find (the on-topic posts of) this thread interesting. You don't like them? Fine, no need to throw such a reply.

I'm not asking for your opinion or personal assessments, just facts--especially since you're outright dismissing ours.

What facts am I dismissing? Again, I just posted 4 links. I have read all the rest, it's just that it's not my style to reply to every single thing, post funny images, etc. I try to post whenever there is something new to add.

The only facts about stock prices are... the stock prices. If I would have facts about future stock trends then probably I would have another job. What else?

One fact is that Lumia 900 is selling well in Amazon and it is getting very good reviews from US customers: Black, Cyan. Taking into account the customers reviews on the Lumia 710 and Lumia 800 one can see a trend. Amazon is considered an interesting barometer on user reception and sales at a wider scale.

Another fact is that the big majority of Lumia 900 reviews do praise the product. I guess someone like Steve Wozniak can't be considered a new smartphone user or a Nokia fanatic, and he also seems to like it. The bottomline: Lumias are good products, and their first steps in a very competitive market are actually promising.
