You could wait for my reply before boldly writing your last statement
I'm Italian, and the situation here is as I described. It's all related to the level of culture of the population. Low culture == dumb people == people don't care about Linux, Harmattan or SD cards.
. Anyway, I don't think here in Bulgaria the mass is better than in Italy, yet my statements remain valid.

next time, get some facts into your trolling, maybe?
And, what facts do I need to add? I just illustrated my point of view. Is it required by the forum rules to stuff tons of facts in every post you make? Do I need to reference a random scientific study about "people and their OS of choice" for you to consider what I'm saying? I mean, it's just my thoughts. You can reply if you feel like, or you can ignore it if it's not worth an answer of yours. Just don't call it "trolling".

Ubuntu the most user friendly... <snickering> Yeah sure, with such world class QA, almost nothing bad could happen to the clueless!
But i rather have to invest 5h to compile, install & configure something in Linux than spending months pressing teeth together because i can't change, adapt to my workflow or fix something in Windows.
My opinion: just use the right tool for a job. I use Win7 x64 and Arch Linux + aptosid at home. Each to his own.
And both of you should agree to disagree, IMHO.
PS.: using terms like M$ and LostDOS is sooo stuck in 2000.

That is yet to be seen. The doomsdayers here should remember how apple came to the brink of bankruptcy and dissolution, and rose up again. Ordinary people, as someone said above, think of a device that will give them smooth, reliable, day and nite device. Maemo and Meego are far short from that. 99% of the population could care less what the OS is, as LONG AS THE EXPERIENCE IS SMOOTH AND RELIABLE!!!!!!. Lumia 800 and 900 deliver that. I think that NOKIA will do OK.
If people only wanted a smooth and reliable phone they would buy a cheap feature phone. A smartphone is about more than just smooth and reliable it's about the phone being able to adapt to the needs you thought you would never want until the need arises. Lack of features becomes a major stumbling block.
Granted the iPhone was also initially lacklustre in features too but that built on the buzz of the ipods of the time, people essentially wanted an iPod with phone capabilities. WP has no such thing to replace and it will never gain ground being behind in features, apps or specs. I don't think its debatable "smoothness" is much of a selling point.

All times are GMT. The time now is 20:49.
ppl realize they spend a fortune and get... nothing
where, indeed, malware comes in...
(FYI, even LostDOS comes with a basic anti-virus, nowadays...)
and GNU / Linux seems a very attractive alternative, where (nearly) everything is free and there is broad community support (free, as well)
and then ppl hear about wp, be it with or without a NOKIA logo, hear the horrific story of ppl who have to use such devices from their work (or decided to get one) and think... why should i trap myself into this again?
they may not be geeks, but they are not that ignorant (or blind)
but indeed, most ANDroid users don't even know what GNU / Linux is, leave alone what it stands for...
they simply grab all the (free) apps
when ppl think m$, they think... awwwww
if they think @ all >¦-)
