I mean how hard is it to throw up a mention or some type of icon to show off your latest phone. It doesn't even need to be a big gimmicky advert. It could simply be a picture of the SE with its name below it.It's most likely because Samsung views WP as something that's not serious. Most of their Windows Phones are just an afterthought of the android version. I also have hardly ever seen Samsung advertise their WP phones. All Samsung really wants to do is sell android phones. If they ever started taking Windows Phone seriously, then perhaps id take Samsung more seriously. Until then, Samsung can go to hell. :smile:
EDIT:
Just to add to what I said, just went to the Samsung website. the front page is all about 'the next big thing is here', and they are NOT talking about Windows Phone. It's just android crap.
There's nothing.
Exactly my point. People(Samsung Fans) claim it is Nokia or Nothing.
No it is The OEM who gives a damn vs someone who just wants to toss something out but you can tell they REALLY do not care. I guess what I don't understand about Samsung Fans is not the fact that they prefer Samsung over Nokia...I get that.
Anytime you use LOGIC with them as far as support goes their response is "Well, Samsung updated their phones before Nokia did."
Well golly gee...If you only sold 400,000 phones to Nokia's 10 millions in a select area, I'd HOPE you can update your phones faster. It makes sense that Samsung updates their phones faster, they have far less to worry about.
Or Well, Nokia's life depended on Windows Phone which is why they supported it so hard. Samsung doesn't need WP so they don't need to sell it or market it or support it.
Then why bother making one then?
People in this thread are so defensive. I can take criticism of Nokia and there are certain things I am critical of. There is no reason the 920 had to be so chumky, especially 6 months later when the 925 and 1020 came out(minus the camera hump). The camera on the 1020 was handicapped by the speed. I can be critical of Nokia and I can accept criticism of it. I am not defensive as some people in this thread have proven. Say one thing bad and it's a travesty.
Samsung does not give a damn about WP. It's obvious on their site and from their efforts. It's not about them releasing Plastic crap that was last year's Android. It's the fact that they just don't even BOTHER to innovate.
That stupid Galaxy Camera thing they released. Why not try to take Nokia head on in the Windows Phone arena. A lumia 1020 vs whatever the hell the name is. Any criticism I have for Samsung has and always has been because I see a company who obviously has potential to do great things with windows phone doing absolutely nothing and people telling me I should be grateful that Samsung makes one. For what? Their Ativ line does nothing for the ecosystem.
I criticize Samsung and I more or less look down on Samsung Products not because they are cheap feeling(they are) but because I expect more from a company of samsungs caliber.
Cue Samsung Fan response: Well Microsoft gave Nokia preferential treatment. Nobody else could do anything besides Nokia?
I seriously doubt that is the case. If Samsung wanted to make a compelling windows phone, What reason would Microsoft have to block the biggest OEM from doing so?
Get real. You love Samsung, that is fine. But admit that Samsung doesn't give a damn about WP and stop acting like the products are a godsend.
They are at best on par with Lumias....especially if your only compelling argument is that has a Removable battery & IR blaster.
K then.
Why does there have to be a Lumia side? Why can't we just say welcome to Windows Phone? Seems to me that we should all just be thankful for each new convert we get over to WP over Apple and Google. The more on this side, the greater the quality and greater the options we'll have in the future
When I said Lumia Side, I wasn't really meaning it to be territorial. So don't take it as such. I am grateful for all converts that come over, even if they don't get my preferred manufacturer. At the end of the day, if someone is rocking a Samsung, HTC, Nokia or even a Huawei, Blue or Yezz windows phone, that is still good. I never once denied that wasn't great.
