I'm sort of a Nokia ****** around these parts but after getting a chance to play around with an 8X and 8S I really feel like HTC hit it out of the park with the design of both phones. My initial choice for my next WP8 phone was a 920 but at the moment I am a little undecided as the 8X is really calling out to me. I don't want to make this into a pros vs cons thread in regards to the 920 and 8X as there are plenty of those around.
One thing that does keep me on the Nokia track though is the fact that Nokia is more active in the app market and come out with some great apps of their own to maximize the hardware. The same cannot be said for the other OEMs. Going to a couple of MS stores and talking to employees, and reading various threads here I get the impression that many people would buy phones from other OEMs if they had the Nokia apps.
So with that in mind I wonder why Nokia doesn't sell their exclusive apps to phones of other makes. Some might think that it would cut down on the number of sales of Nokia handsets however I think that those that have their mind set on getting a Nokia device will buy one regardless of the app situation. Selling Nokia apps would be an additional way for the company to generate revenue and get a larger user base of their products.
I know people will say it's a stupid idea as again it would elimiate the whole idea of exclusivity and a key selling point but it's just a thought I had to throw out there.
