Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Now that we are seeing devices from Acer, NuAns, VAIO and fewer Lumia offerings from MSFT I was thinking last night what would make an offering fairly compelling for the masses? A $300 Moly X1 is not going to help the platform much. But a $200 Xiaomi Redmi 3 running WM10 would instantaneously be the new 640 replacement or heck even be very close to the cancelled Lumia 850. Also it would let Xiaomi in the USA without Apple suing them because MIUI is a clone of iOS.
They would need to enable LTE bands and if they threw in NFC to future proof the phone a bit at that price it would be a runaway hit. Xiaomi phones have pretty decent cameras as well and that 4100 mAh battery would last at least two days if not more.
Nice try, but the problem is you're thinking the right way.
With all the Lumia zealots around here, the first thing you'd hear is how the Chinese are snooping through your phone, or it isn't as good as a Lumia...
Still, this actually may happen, with all the Xiaomi WP rumors. I'd love to see them port WP 10 to the Mi 5 pro as sell that for $400. Or, convert the Mi Note Pro or Mi 4C. I'd go with the Mi 4C at $300-$350. Now, THAT would move units too...
