I am going to buy a Nokia Lumia for Windows to replace my Sony Android phone. No more iOS or Android for me. Funny how MS is becoming an old "new" alternative for some of us.
- Oletros 11y agoHow is this related with the submission?
- eggy 11y agoI'll admit the comment may have been a bit sparse, and reactionary on my part, but it is not that far of an association; I think it has relevance. Open source Android is being fought over by two behemoths in an IP war over Java code. MS was proprietary, and not much loved amongst the OSS crowd, and now Windows 10 is going to have hooks for Java and Objective-C to make porting Android and iOS apps to Windows 10. Forgive me, but MS seems to be doing and end-around Oracle and Google...I don't see how there is more than 2 degrees of separation from the submission and the possible relevance of my comment. Is it because I refused to bite on the IP angle?
- rjbwork 11y agoMy Nexus 5 mysteriously stopped booting one day a few months ago, so I got a Nokia 530 to tide me over... it's a 40 dollar phone. I'm still using it 4 months later... I may end up getting the next Nexus phone, but If the more expensive Lumias offer a commensurate increase in quality, I'd say they're probably great phones.
