Camden, TN | You're assuming everyone wants to buy an POS Iphone. Apple cult memebers aren't interested in anything non-Apple anyways. |

Not to mention most people get a new phone when they are eligible for an upgrade. Only about 1/12 the population will have been eligible for an upgrade in the month between. |
|
| How do you figure? I've been eligible since April, so it may well be more than 1/12. Many have held off to see what the announcements hold this fall. That, and most contracts are 24 months, so it would only be 1/24 with your math... |

vs what?
A POS Android phone? Been there, done that, have the nightmares and scars.
Or a POS Windows Phone? The UI is a huge turnoff for me. It's FUGLY.
Oh yeah, a Blackberry? Right before BB10 makes that obsolete.
iOS is not the best and still needs a few features but it is the best of the current crop of phones. |

Nahhh IPhone here... whole family in fact, but my next phone will be a WP8. Not sure if it will be the Samsung or if I'll wait to see what else hits the market.
Some of Samsung's phones have had a cheap build quality.
Had a WP7 at my last job (just started with a new company) and loved it. Nice fluid well put together OS.
This is an all the eggs in a basket moment for MS. If they people dig v8, and can get the same OS on a tablet and their phone it could redefine the landscape. Apple has been trying to go this way with IOS and OSX, but isn't there yet. But, if v8 is a flop then they've got a real turd sandwich to eat.
Personally I hope they do really well. Apple and Google need the competition IMO. |

They brought some iOS features to OSX but there is not the merging of the 2 like Microsoft is trying to do. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think Win 8 will be another MS BOB for them. It's a very hard and user unfriendly OS and people will be turned off by the whole dekstop vs Metro (oops, not Metro) apps.
I think MS better get the salt and pepper as the turd sandwich will need lots of it! |

I really like the looks of that Ativ S. Have always been with android phones but I could convert (Just bought the S3 off ebay) for something like this. Was WP7 buggy or anything like that? |
|
| I had the Lumina 900 and had no issues. It's a bigger (larger screen) than my iPhone which I had to get used to, but other than that no... no bugs or issues. A very snappy fluid experience with a much better multi task solution.
itguy05, It may be, may not be.. only time will tell. I remember reading on multiple occasions how Apple has wanted to move to a unified OS model. But I have nothing to back it up because I don't wish to do any Google searching right now. :/ |
