No Android phone has excited me, not even s7 edge. but definitely would like to see Nokia make a comeback
This is rumour and speculation. There's no proof anywhere this is what the new Nokia phones will be. I still don't get the point of QHD on a phone...
I know there's a few people stating they won't be 'Nokia' phone because of HMD and Foxconn being involved but HMD is full of ex-Nokia people and Nokia has all it's patents still, so take it from there.
I know people bag Android all the time and that's what made me wonder why bother with a poll on this site. I read the comments and see all the same things as usual. So I didn't bother answering the poll as I'm already on Android.
Do I want a Nokia phone? I'll see when it comes out. At this point in time I have no idea what it is so until I see it I can't say much. The Z launcher is interesting.
Android is a flooded market, there's no lie there but it wouldn't take much to make a great phone. It's about hitting all the right points and if Nokia does that, they'll have a winner. So let's see if they can escape the old Nokia mindset and release something special.
You're right, HMD is made up of ex Nokia employees and they have the research and the patents to develop a great phone. the reason for the poll is to see the interest and let MS take a note if a section of WP fans+Nokia fans might flock to android instead of waiting for Surface phone, this is true especially in markets where Nokia had previous strong hold, but where MS lost all the ground that WP gained due to their apathy.
I don't expect the Surface Phone to have a global release, it will just be like a surface book or MS band which have limited availability outside US
No way! If for whatever reason MS will dump Windows I'd rather go for a reasonably priced refurbished iPhone than for any Android, Nokia or otherwise. Too many Androids doing the rounds already inviting lots of nasty people dumping nasty bloatware. So Android? Over my dead body!
Who actually makes the surface devices? Is it MS or someone contracted to do it? It's a bit off topic
Haha, I just love your sarcasm!:evil:WTF?? Nasty people dumping nasty bloatware? What are you talking about?
Haha, I just love your sarcasm!:evil:
I wasn't being sarcastic...
In that case let me give you a hint:
10 million Android devices reportedly infected with Chinese malware - CNET

Sorry, but I like my news from a reliable source.

As usual, it's most likely overblown nonsense. That company that reports this stuff has a tendency to overstate the numbers.
Here's a hint, don't load apps from other places other than the Play Store. That's the same logic as loading software that's not trusted on the internet on a Windows PC. You take risks you have a possibility of getting stung. But hey, anything to bash an OS you don't like huh?

Not bashing or disliking Android. It's just a fact that it is much more likely for anybody to publish a app with a virus to millions of users than for an OS with very little support. And maybe the quoted 10 million infected devices are only 9 million, it is still a fact that lots of users got stung. And that you are clever enough to only download from the playstore doesn't mean that others can withstand the temptation to download a virus infected app....
So if MS decided to build and release the "Surface Phone", it would be outsourced most likely. Perhaps the design would be from MS but the actual manufacturing would be someone else.
