thats also true,each to their own opinionI'm not an admirer of Steve Jobs, but there is one thing he said that will stick with me: "People don't know what they want until you give it to them".
Having so many phones just confuses the customer. That's why Apple launches one iPhone at a time, and consumers know this is the best they have. Samsung and HTC too, with the S5 and M8.
Choice leads to confusion. If I go shopping for a Lumia, the guy says 'hey, if you want a great camera we have the 1020 but it has this bump on the back. But if you want a large screen, we have the 1520. Oh, you want a normal size phone. here's the 925, but it's nothing special compared to the other two..."
Your average consumers feels like "I'm compromising or losing out on something or the other with all these Nokia. HTC says the M8 is the best phone they have. Maybe it's easier to go with that".
You see, the average consumer is like a sheep. And you herd sheep, you don't give them choices.
for someone like me a few lumias are great but just not meant for me - 620,625,920 and 630
the features they lack are found in other lumias, it doesnt make these phones bad but the lack of sd may be a pain for some(me ) but i know some people prefer buying a large inbuilt memory phone or a great camera phone or a great camera phone etc etc
it does complicate things but thats acceptable,ive seen my friends on ios and android who wish features/design etc from their old and new phones to be present in a single phone
with lumias theres phones with all kinds of options, no one is left feeling left out on a feature or something,we take a budget and we have 3-4 decent lumias in the price range but each phone is different
there may be confusion but maybe nokia should make a phone-finder to help make it easier for people to select the kind of phone they are looking for
something like what they did in the symbian golden age
ur points on the average consumer being a sheep etc is perfectly true, i know my two sets of my own friends-one group which is extremely pro-apple but not for any other reason only coz its a fad locally that iphone users to be rich etc
the other set of friends is extemely pro-android, they will keep cracking anti-apple jokes on the 1st set of friends but the only reason they got android was for piracy
only two of my friends and i are windows phone users and dont follow fads like the other two sets of friends(who are using ios/android for statussymbols/piracy respectively)
