The problem with that is the windows brand is not exactly associated with status. I'm pretty sure these people that buy "androids to differentiate themselves" are buying "sexy" brands - eg moto Razr or the galaxy III. (I know a couple of people that did and said just that)
- seanmcdirmid 14y agoWell, in my defense I was being a bit sarcastic; maybe ellipses aren't obvious enough? But if Nokia can break through with a phone, we might see some adoption as these were the same people buying up the older higher end feature phones. Most of my Chinese friends that have bought Android phones have done so solely for price reasons. All the fashionistas I know still use iPhones, I haven't seen one with an Android yet, and this is in Beijing.
