Notice the hipster dude with the beard holding up a WP. Its a subtle marketing tactic. The first thing I thought is that Microsoft is suggesting that hipsters purchase a WP to be ironic.

I'm so unhip I wouldn't know if he is supposed to be a hipster or not--aren't they supposed to wear funny hats?

Not everyone with a beard is a hipster.

Huh ? How does he look like a hipster ? So everyone who has a significant other and a beard who purchases a Nokia phone is a hipster ? How do people come up with stuff like this ?

Not sure if OP is making a dumb attempt at cracking a joke or if he's actually serious. Anyways, I'll say what the people above me have already said, having a beard does not make you a hipster.

Too old, wrong hair style, and wrong clothes.

That man is Hairy Uncle Gordon, not a Hipster.

Looks like a fruity hipster to me.

Ironic beard, weird vest, collarless button up shirt... I don't know, but he's definitely word enough to some type of hipster loser.

I don't know who or what he's supposed to be, but someone should tug on his beard and ask if he knows why the hell it's taking so long for the 640/640XL to be made available in the US of A.

He looks more like an engineer/professor/astronomer to me.

This thread has no value. It's asking about whether a guy's bear is or isn't marking him as a hipster.

going back to title ...

Hipsters like to be different, cutting edge, out there ...
That may translate to some appeal as the anti-Android ... or ... anti-Apple iOs.

Only time will tell, we keep looking ahead (and setting deadlines), but even with the miniscule market share, Windows phone is NOT dead (yet), we just don't know which direction it's heading. At this time, next year, we'll have a better reading on Win10 for mobile & it's future.

My guess, a slight uptick (possibly up to 5%), with a future ... at least I hope so.

You see a hipster, I see Al from the 1990's tv show, Home improvement.

Beard != hipster

A conversation outside a hipster bar in downtown NYC:

Frat Boy #1: Dude, are you having any luck picking up chicks in there?

Frat Boy #2: Man...I haven't experienced anything like this before. These chicks are totally rejecting me and going for all these hipster guys in tight pants and shaggy hair instead.

Frat Boy #1: Maybe we should head back up to that bar in Murry Hill where you hooked up with that drunk babe from Alpha Sigma Phi last week?

Frat Boy #2: Yeah...I don't think we have what it takes to compete with these guys in here. These hipster chicks won't even give us the time of the day!

Coolness!
