Can't believe that article because I used iPhones and Android for a long time and I switched to WP a few weeks back and I just in love with everything. Works faster and better every single app in my Lumia 1520. That thief don't know what he skipped... Lol

Maybe he saw running WP 7 and decided that it was a piece of crap. Lol

I guess the street price for a WP7 device isn't that great right now...

Well, it is more than three years old - an eternity in technology.

well, WP7's certainly dont fetch as much as an iPhone would regardless

all the more reason to get one

 

[Reflexx]

If he took it, then the victim could have just done a "Find my phone" on the WindowsPhone.com site and found the thief.

 

[gsquared]

Actually that's great. Having phone stolen is one less thing I have to worry about.

 

[dameon_03]

sounds similar to the one i heard where the user had a flip phone that was robbed and the robber gave it back to him

 

[Nokia Boy]

Maybe the thief was aware and he knew that the owner could find the phone from Windowsphone.com but in the other hand WP devices are really underrated and he threw it as he knew it wouldnt worth anything at all...

 

[Paul May]

My wife and I both owned Quantums and while they were great phones for the time, very rugged and stood up to the beating it took at work they certainly were not the most fashionable. It also had a full qwerty keyboard so he may have assumed it was just a messaging phone.

 

[Nokia Boy]

I like touch phones that have QWERTY keyboard cuz my hands are quite big (lol) but at the same time i dont like them because they look a bit bulky - off topic
I think this story must be really old so WP7 wasn't so popular....

I just sold my Year old L900 with 7.8 on craiglist for 175 bux.

Please PM me the buyer's number. I've got this bridge in Brooklyn I don't need anymore.

I don't buy the story myself. Criminals don't care about quality, they just steal. A bunch of years ago my car was broken into and these thieves stole my cassette player from the car. The knobs were missing and it looked a hot mess. They tore open my dash and took that worthless thing. So no, I don't believe the story. Its pure fiction planted by google's nut case supporters. Returned it too? Never happen, except for in cyberspace.
