Every year, but I’ve been buying used phones for nearly all the changes and I can sell the previous one or give it to my parents. But on the next iPhone I want to buy new and keep it for 2 years though, don’t know if it’ll happen lol

Is app development that profitable! Very happy for you, investing in the WP as well.

Yes it grabs me. It's about all the things Apple and iOS devs will do with the AR Kit. Of course it has limited functionality now, but look 4-5 months from now. I switched off my 950 to a 6S/SE and rejoined modern society. WM is in the stone age in comparison. Yes Apple didn't invent this stuff...

Not worth it. Check you local ebay; 925s go for $45 in the US. But also I wouldn't recommend a windows 8 phone today.

So basically Nadella's response was quite vague and not comforting to WM fans. At this point I think it's best to just pick one of the Big 2 and wait and see what this "next big thing" is when it's actually released by MS.

The funny part its soooo much better on iOS. The WM version looks like it's an app from 5 years ago

Telecom is having a rough year in 2016, but despite dipping under $5/share market cap is still near $30b USD, while Ericsson is getting smashed by scandals. Nokia wants to keep the name in the light until potential IoT devices get released under the brand in the future.

HMD picked up a lot of ex-Nokia people who were laid off. Nokia is a very focused and "lean" company now (despite having 100k employees) and I don't think they want to get near phones again. Nokia knows the value of the brand and therefore wants to keep it out there in the public space through...

I sold my 950 2 months ago, I might come back and buy another one in a few months when its under $100 just to see how RS2 is doing. I switched OSes but I still miss some parts of WM10 .

Good idea. You can always switch back incase it is released and its awesome

Microsoft is retrenching into the enterprise sector... they need time to sort things out

You have to think what kind of device a startup company with 7? employees can make. Likely a rebrand of an existing model

Nokia has many many times said that they are not making phones just leasing out naming/design rights to "NOKIA". Nokia is a very lean (albeit huge) company now. Nokia Networks is the bread and butter and the focus for the next couple of years. They don't want to have ANY part in phone...

The business relationship between HMD and Nokia is a bit vague. I don't see anything publicly disseminated from either company regarding Nokia providing R&D assistance. The only information is about branding/design; do you happen to have some "additional" information? And Juha was brought to...

This is not the Nokia as you know it. This is HMD Global (which is comprised of some ex-Nokia people) contracting with Foxconn to make the hardware and licensing the "NOKIA" name from the current Nokia (the telecom giant).
