Yup, not big hit, but IMPORTANT to Nokia... it can help to KEEP/MAINTAIN Nokia Customers who haven't jump ship. At least they have a choice and a good device. There're also many N8 owners, or even some older models.
Beside that it also attract some Android/iPhone owners, my friends who's using iPhone and Androids, has never look at Nokia since they jump ship. Now they're interested in the 808 PureView.
Yes, they're not keen with Symbian, when asked Windows Phone or Symbian, all of them straight answer Symbian. ALL, it's not majority, it's ALL.
When there're no more Symbian phones from Nokia, that's when things get worst. Will those Nokia users who are still using Symbian right now switch to Windows Phone?
Or will they go for other platforms.
If they have to go through those restrictions and limitations, most likely they will choose iPhone?
If they want flexibility like their current Symbian, their only choice is Android.
I wonder what will happen when the time comes.
Will Microsoft loosen up their Windows Phone OS?
Can Nokia make any changes or difference? It's critical moment as they're loosing Customers everyday.
You can even see how many Lumia owners are selling off their devices.
Based on LYN forum thread, Nokia N8 thread was so darn hot BEFORE even it was launch. Just look at the reception of Nokia Symbian phones against Lumia phones, it's just so huge difference. Even Maemo and MeeGo thread was better than Lumia.
yea the response was so good but then apps wasnt the main topic yet. Now everything is about apps. And thats their biggest lacking as well
