@ eXploit FYI Nokia makes the best hardware hands down, even the haters agree. They've been in a coma for 4 years now with crappy phone after another all because their dated Symbian crap and terrible management. Once they decided to move forward the Microsoft offer came in and it was too good to be true, so they changed more plans.

I'm not defending them, it was a horrible mistake to just vanish for 4 years with iPhones and Androids eating their market but that doesn't mean they don't have what it takes to make a proper phone.

Windows Phone is an excellent OS, and let me quote Techradar, it is
supremely usable, surprisingly powerful and delivers the experience Microsoft has been promising.
This partnership will see both companies having steady if not quick growth in the smartphone market, and the sales of the Lumina 800 in Europe seem to indicate this will indeed be the case, when you consider that the unannounced Lumina 900 - the real flagship - hasn't even been officially mentioned.
