One of the petty reasons i didnt move from iPhone to WP or Droid for that matter was because i didnt like how the both MS and Goog partnered with the Samsungs of the world instead of manufacturing their own hardware.
I made the decision to go focus S anyway and was happy with the WP7 experience.
AT this point, it would be cool if MS did manufacture their own wp8 hardware, but I think they should just do the inevitable and buy Nokia and technically manufacture their own hardware. MS already put down a $1 billion down payment to Nokia, throw in another and close the deal.
:shocked: i told him not to use a washing machine to clean my Microsoft surface
Saw that too. I have to say it's a nice looking mockup, though I think more could be done with the styling like Surface has with its covers.
And add a kickstand too.
Looks like window will in fact be making the surface phone after all!
Rumor: Microsoft to launch its own branded Windows Phone for H1 2013 | WPAppInfo
i would!!! i actually said this yesterday " microsoft should have made their own flagship phone"
hence the surface phone... i actually really like the name and branding too
way to go MS!!!
I don't like it, is basically an iPhone 4Gs.
I think Microsoft should make its own phone. Just one model, not a complete lineup. I think they should offer it on every carrier (like the Galaxy S III, which is even available on US Cellular). I think that the phone should share the aesthetic of the Surface tablet (matte magnesium case, very angular and monolithic, integrated kickstand).
It wouldn't be meant to replace third-party hardware, but as a kick in the pants of certain companies who aren't "trying very hard" with recent WP designs (Samsung and HTC in particular). And as long as Nokia is only selling the 900 through AT&T, it'd give people on other carriers a chance to get something nicer than the normal Arrive/Trophy/etc mix of WP phones.
