Everything because they are not ready yet. But have you ever had a first version up to pair on the first release. I have never seen that. It takes iterations. When I got the phones I can tell you more in detail, and I'm sure people will complain everywhere so you will see

FxOS should be very customisable and Sony have a reputation for being creative, maybe their adapted UI will be a lot slicker than Mozilla's default one.

The Chinese can get a quad core device with 1GB RAM to market for around $150, I'd definitely like to see FxOS on something like that. The Alcatel and ZTE devices released last week are just too low spec.

Ah, I see. Having rough edges is different to lacking functionality though.

"In times of change, make tires." Nokia(n) still do, but it's a crowded business too...

I heard next WP version will run X11 so now all whiners who don't like Qt5 + Wayland can buy Lumia phones instead...

No, Firefox is lowend. Real smartphones needs native apps and can't only depend on Javascripts. HTML5 + Javascript only is just marketing bull.

I thought you were going to give me that tired old Mark Zuckerberg quote for a minute there.

The Making of Fastbook
Cut The Rope
Angry Birds

JavaScript's getting faster and faster, so are smartphones.

As speculation concerning a takeover intensifies.

Will the sales of NOKIA's feature phones have plummeted further this quarter? If so how will NOKIA subsidise the Lumias? How long will their remaining cash last once they've paid Siemens? Can Microsoft afford to let anybody else buy NOKIA?

Big Bad Ballmer indicated that Microsoft might go for their own phones so I think the window is closed for now. I don't see how it intensifies, but instead the other way around.
