Just being honest man... none of that is really there.

Seeing as the humble Symbian can do all of these things I'm sure you'd agree not having such functionality on NOKIA's shiny, smooth new Lumia's would be utterly intolerable.

But... Elop says it's the future! A simpler, easier to get frustrated with, throw the phone down, buy another future! Instant multiple SKU sales right there!

Leaving out such functionality would be treating Americans like goddamn troglodytes!

But we are troglodytes with our SUV's, cheeseburger and pizza dependencies and lack of understanding of what bluetooth is - that's a bad case of dental hygiene, right?

They did give it away... and after the data access glitch, they gave people $100 USD.

I wonder if you "stutter" in real life, or could entertain people in a "smooth", eloquent way instead. Or be "lagging" after a boozeful "one-buck-all-night" drinking contest with your flashy poser friends.

I just can't keep from laughing over this stupid repeated over-usage of "smooth". Maybe you should start tossing in "elegant" too, North Americans like that in the context of UIs.

Cute. I bet you rather enjoy HD TV than regular TV or TV without stripes across the screen

. I think you get it.

No you dont. Otherwise you have defective units.

Keep your arrogance for yourself. You haven't any clue of how many hours I have spent with WP7 & iOS, which comparison I've done, etc.

Let's add some trolls to ignore list

Seriously though - it's hard animal, so it may live up to another 18 months. I would not expect more - either hard or soft bankruptcy, both placing stock holders in miserable position.

Nah, Elop/flop/$chlop and my feelings are much more market driving than price and facts. M$/necrosoft/macrohard are the ****/saviour... stock? Oh sorry, no idea, should bend to my expectations though (I hope/expect)

The problem right now is the Lumias are too expensive. They are not competitive http://www.gsmarena.com/lumia_phones...-news-4103.php

In other words, people feel a Lumia has lower value than a similarly priced Android device.

In the US, the Lumia 900 is given away for free, more or less. I guess that is what it takes to build an ecosystem from scratch these days.

Kind of obvious really. Elop wants to build "the third" ecosystem. Then why is he selling Lumias in Europe at premium prices? Get the prices down! Look how Amazon is doing it.

Get the Lumias out there, then the stock will follow.
