Nokia hardware is pretty legendary. I echo other comments that Nokia hardware combined with Android would give Samsung a good run for its money.
Still annoyed about the N900 and Maemo/Meego/whatever it is called now.
- kryten 13y agoThis. I'm writing this on a 2 year old Lumia 710. This replaced a 6303i. The thing has had the crap bashed out of it but it has never faltered, not once. In that time it has never crashed as well. To be honest, the only bit I don't like about this as a Windows Phone is Microsoft. If someone else came up with it, I'd be happy.
- tomflack 13y agoWhat's the value of your anecdotal experience? I can add my own - my 6 month old Lumia 920 has been back to Nokia for repair. Twice. Nokia hardware may have been legendary, but it certainly isn't any more. Some of the fit-and-finish on their stuff is weak now (sim tray on 920, dust getting in the front facing camera on the 920) and the rest of the industry has moved on. The 710 isn't even two years old. It's at most, 19 months.
- woe 13y agoI bicycled over a large bump, my Lumia 920 jumped out of my shirt pocket and fell onto asphalt from a height of about four feet at a speed of about 25 mph. It bounced a few times and then slid several feet. The damage: a few dented corners and a single light 3mm scratch on the glass. No complaints about build quality here.

- tomflack 13y agoExactly the same as the comments that I was replying to: zero. I posted it to illustrate this, since they are exact opposite experiences and now we have two statistically insignificant data points contradicting each other.
- nikster 13y agoI know! Nokia reduced to competing on distribution, marketing, and hardware alone? Why that's what they've always done, and they owned 30% of the market by doing that extremely well.
