Here.. let me add some more context and facts.
Some people are so blinded by their faith for the Nokia brand that they don't see Nokia's failure with Lumia--even in the face of numbers and trends showing for it. Windows Phone 7 has been out for well more than the one year we were all asked to wait before judging its success. The first Androids and iPhones were FAR more successful at this point. It was even in their FIRST iteration that they both had built their market share beyond where Windows Phone even stands today, well OVER A YEAR LATER, and placed their stake in the smartphone market.

Wasn't it "a great bargain" just recently? And every month lately? How long can something be "a great bargain" until you realize that what you're saying is that it's LOSING VALUE?
