Apparently, it's not living up to the expectations of the stock market. The stock is down 13%. Not sure what people were hoping for. http://www.google.com/fina

- ghshephard 14y agoThey've announced a product, but no pricing or availability. People will immediately stop buying the current generation, but don't have the next generation to purchase - and there is no idea when they will be able to. Nokia just put the brakes on sales, and haven't indicated when they'll let up on them.
- MartinCron 14y agoBut the brakes have been on sales for a while, as we have known that the latest windows phone software won't work on the existing Lumia phones.
- ghshephard 14y agoWell, let's just say then that they pushed a bit harder. The difference now, is previously I could have purchased a phone, and then in some indeterminate period of time in the future, upgraded to a new phone, and brought all my applications (and, much, much more importantly for most people - my familiarity with the platform) along with me. WP8 is pretty similar to WP7 in terms of GUI. But now - I know what that new phone is going to look like - so buying todays phone is like buying the previous generation. Also - it was _demoed_ - so it feels like it's going to be released any day now...
