The assumption is that people who have purchased Nokia phones in the past will continue to purchase Nokia phones with Microsoft software on them.
Marketing will sell a few. Brand loyalty a few more... but if MS fails to deliver compelling software or Nokia fails to deliver compelling hardware, they aren't the third horse in the iOS / Android race. They are nothing.
Combining two companies that have failed to prove themselves in the smartphone market doesn't make a great smartphone.
- rbanffy 16y agoI don't want to say neither Microsoft or Nokia can deliver a top-notch smartphone experience. I am, however, highly doubtful they will, for both have been trying to do it for quite some time now and without much success. The fact is neither has much to show. Why would someone believe that, together, they can pull this off is a mystery to me.
