I'm almost wanting this take over to be true... Just Imagine, Samsung specs, Nokia hardware, Tizen phones and Flop out of the door....

Just to clarify, I did say "almost".
that's ridiculous rumor will not happen. Microsoft and possibly Facebook will feed Nokia with more money.

Yes, but - Android is a nice OS, WP is not. The few poor souls that say they like it, say that on pure spite or some brainless stubbornness or whatever.

I purchase maybe 4-5 phones a year. I give some away after a while and some I keep. The Lumia 800 initially feels good, but then after a while, the limitations simply bites you whenever you touch it. It is not only me or any other geek, the limitations bites ordinary people. Simple things like sending attachments with email or using custom ringtones is not available. WP is two years old already, there is no excuse for these limitations. I can't give away my Lumia, because I'm not that bad a person. I know whoever gets it will end up being angry with me.

However, WP has great potential because the basic user experience is nice. Maybe WP8 will change for the better ? For Nokia's sake I hope so.

If Android didn't exist, WP would do fine against iOS. If iOS didn't exist, WP would do somewhat fine as an alternative to Android. Right now it ends up being nothing worth having.

I can see why people on this board would hate WP. The OS is the total opposite of Meego/Maemo. Everything is sandboxed and basic things where Unix/Linux is the underlying OS is inaccessible on WP.

But I believe Microsoft is copying the way Apple did things by trying to find what the best way to implement these missing features on their Metro UI (in my opinion, I think Metro UI has limitations but if MS is basing a desktop OS on it I'm sure they found ways around the limitations). Apple didn't have apps, custom ringtones, MMS and notifications out the door so I'll give Microsoft time. Android on the other hand packed everything in and fixed and refined things one iteration at a time. It's just different development methods.

Plus, Nokia will probably never come back to Meego/Maemo or at least not with enough enthusiasm (which is sad).

Need I once again remind you that Microsoft has had more than a decade with mobile and tablets? Why are you 'giving them time' on mundane things like cut/paste (which they HAD at one point before taking it away again). And for crying out loud... it's just CUT AND PASTE. I don't even want to start on notifications, multitasking, etc.

Didn't someone say they're cheap enough to just get out of a snack machine on Wall Street somewhere?

Windows will grow. I guess it will have 1/4 of the market 2015. The question is how big nokia can be in the Windows area. If samsung and htc keep pushing windows phones.

Let's hope Elop is gone at the time. He shall never see another victory in his business life.
