Yeah, noticed that but is the blogger a MS blogger? I'm not up on all their bloggers.

At quick glance, it seems like msft paid/sponsored/encouraged some female bloggers to use and tweet about their Lumia... In the pic above, she posts a pic of the iPhone fitbit app, using an iPhone, but claims it's a Lumia.

So she has more than one phone? Sorry I'm missing the irony...but its late where I live. :)

That doesn't mean she's paid by anyone to post that Tweet.

I'm not paid by anyone, but I have multiple devices on multiple platforms. I've posted Tweets about: iOS while using Windows Phone, Windows Phone while using Android, Linux while using Windows, Windows while using Linux, etc.

Why, all of a sudden, multiple female bloggers are posting about Lumia/WP features and @LumiaUS is retweeting every single one.... except the one in my original post. Does nobody else find it ironic that, in my original post, she says she loves the fitbit app on her Lumia, then posts a screenshot of the fitbit app from the iPhone?

Man, you must be new to how women-folk function. They do what they do and the best you should do in response, is smile and roll with it. :)

I agree with the OP, it's not a good look. I wouldn't say it's proof of bribery or anything ,but if she's going to say she likes the WP FitBit app, then perhaps making THAT the FitBit app you're showing people makes sense. If the FitBit app is so great on WP, why would you even WANT to post the iOS app? Maybe she's totally ignorant to WP and couldn't figure out how to take a screenshot?
