Wait... did you just condemn trolling only to troll yourself?

Dude.

Probably depends on "which side" (east or west), f.e. Munich is Apple territory anyway but nobody could drag me to work there again. Terrible snubby city, almost like shitty Miami. As a native German plus still living there, i know plenty of people still using Nokias. And the chicks that got HTCs and S2s do nearly only Facebook and WhatsApp etc., so enough potential wasted. But they got them mostly because they are everywhere (promoted) so they don't actually have to think about what to get, and because they like those stupid oversized touch glass screens that are ideal for getting RSIs.

This is EXACTLY the question Nokia should be asking.

Here in Northern Germany most people use Android phones, iphones are second. Nokia used to be the leader until N95 times, but after N97 debacle they lost most supporters.
Most people I talk to would never buy a WP here. The city was plastered with Lumia placards recently, but I know only one person who bought one and she desperately but unsuccessfully tries to sell it...

I've been confused ever since the word Taliban has been tossed around as if it means something hilarious. Inside joke perhaps?

Probably "Taliban phone" as in "gets only bought by people originating from Asia Minor/Middle East/Arabic Peninsula" or "cheap phones mainly used in developing countries". Nature knows why such a dim-wit... never mind.

But why the people living in the oh-so-developed (=stagnated) countries flock to luxury toddler toys (IPhones) is a mystery to me too.
