Who would buy a matching "Surface Phone"?

I prefer all my technology under 1 OEM for support and consistent experience.

So yes I would buy a Surface phone

Rumors are apparently pointing towards the possibility of such a device. I'd definitely be interested.

One of the petty reasons i didnt move from iPhone to WP or Droid for that matter was because i didnt like how the both MS and Goog partnered with the Samsungs of the world instead of manufacturing their own hardware.

I made the decision to go focus S anyway and was happy with the WP7 experience.

AT this point, it would be cool if MS did manufacture their own wp8 hardware, but I think they should just do the inevitable and buy Nokia and technically manufacture their own hardware. MS already put down a $1 billion down payment to Nokia, throw in another and close the deal.

Pretty sure some of the components from the iPhone came from samsung

after the lumia 900, its gunna be a feat to talk me out of another Nokia. Hope its the Nokia surface phone like others have said

If MS announces Nokia will be making a WP8 Surface phone with PureView and Rich Recording, it would be the most advanced, feature rich phone ever produced.

Saw that too. I have to say it's a nice looking mockup, though I think more could be done with the styling like Surface has with its covers.

And add a kickstand too.

And add a kickstand too.

I'd have to disagree with you on that one. It'd ruin the sleek design. Plus, personally, I find watching anything longer than a youtube video on a 4" screen odd.

I don't like it, is basically an iPhone 4Gs.

 

[jdevenberg]

I would as long as it had a fantabulous camera

I think Microsoft should make its own phone. Just one model, not a complete lineup. I think they should offer it on every carrier (like the Galaxy S III, which is even available on US Cellular). I think that the phone should share the aesthetic of the Surface tablet (matte magnesium case, very angular and monolithic, integrated kickstand).

It wouldn't be meant to replace third-party hardware, but as a kick in the pants of certain companies who aren't "trying very hard" with recent WP designs (Samsung and HTC in particular). And as long as Nokia is only selling the 900 through AT&T, it'd give people on other carriers a chance to get something nicer than the normal Arrive/Trophy/etc mix of WP phones.

Add this to the rumour mill

Looks like window will in fact be making the surface phone after all!
Rumor: Microsoft to launch its own branded Windows Phone for H1 2013 | WPAppInfo

That's fair. But wait - why did you say this?:

"I would love Microsoft to release a phone that's as good looking at the iPhone."

~~~~~~~~~~

I'd love to see a Surface Phone - it would compliment my RT perfectly.

Yes, it would be nice to have the same device on all carriers. Samsung, HTC, Nokia, etc are not going to do it. ****, MS could use it as advertising. Sell the devices for much less markup than the likes of Apple who seems to sell the phones to carriers at practically no discount off retail price.
