Guy, as i'm talking to you now, the "store" which is their version of google Play, is asking for update, I have updated, it says update complete, Tomorrow I will see update, the same specifications. The camera even with flash is rubbish! The engineers must have rushed this project. My Nokia lumia 620 is still better than this trash X_2!

You had already made your point in vowiski's other thread.
Do you ever wonder how many non-tech app users would understand what you wrote up there, Sir?

Check this excert from arstechnica
"For Android, there is Project Astoria. Rumors of Android apps on Windows have been floating around for some time, and in Windows 10 Microsoft is delivering on those rumors. Astoria will allow Android apps to run in Windows. Specifically, Windows Mobile (and yes, that's now officially the name for Windows on phones and sub-8 inch tablets) will include an Android runtime layer that'll let them run existing Android apps (both Java and C++) unmodified."

So unless you are telling me that you are in Microsoft dev team and you just change the workings of Project Astoria overnight, you should just shut up.

Are you still engaging that dude? I am yet to see the statue of any critic, just the statue of those who were heavily criticised.

Microsoft hasn't dumped the Lumia project, all future Microsoft mobile devices would be Lumia, but without the Nokia brand.

Practically, they have distanced themselves from the Nokia brand..

Unfortunately, Nokia didn't have enough steel balls to have faith in it. Samsung did which eventually paid off. An event Google doesn't like.
It should have been "an event APPLE doesn't like."

Nokia moved too late to produce the android-based phones.....The fame already shifted to other phones. Between those Nokia XL android phones are not so good compared to other android phones from other makers.

M stull sayin it the person that gave tecno d bis idea that turned d hearts of nigerians to them is a genie ... Nokia has a lot of work to do ... Some say only a miracle can give the world back to nokia again... I believe nokia has to begin production of super-smart phones if they crave for world domination again.. If they have a plan for future-phones now is the time to roll 'em out

very true!

Imagine a nokia XL I bought last year for 26,500 is now presently sold for 29k. And people are rushing to buy the phone like no man's business.
yes nokia phones are getting more expensive because ppl have seen the difference in it to android . I bought a nokia lumia 635 just 2 months ago and I have vowed never to buy android phones again. U won't know until u experience the power of window os.

Nokia was at the top of their game when they made the symbian N series..N80, N85, N96 and finally their king N97...they made a mistake of lacking foresight.
I tell you N96 & N97 were the kings of Symbian OS at the time. They ought to have keyed into the Android train and it would have been a totally different story.
Re: 4 Embarasing Mistakes That Led To Nokia Downfall by help3852: 5:34pm On May 02, 2015
charlsecy:

Wrong. Nokia had their largest market in Asia, not Africa. That is why they avoided the number 4 in their modeling system because the number 4 is considered unlucky in Asian cultures.

You don't really need Africa to be a world-class phone manufacturer. Apple has little or no presence in Africa, yet remains a top phone maker in the world. If you lose market in America and/or Asia, you are gone.
lol, am still learning the dynamics in this field.

sorry to say but this is just typical nigerian mentality. Follow follow syndrome . Why should they join android when they have the resources to do something different? So apple and others too should just join android ,abi? Nokia isn't dead ,infact their market is picking up gradually and progressively. It is time ppl too start thinking different and think of creating things rather than follow follow nigeria mentality.
