if its android, and with alot current developer .. i think it will be possible to flash others rom and or gapps

I would think they would do that btw..
Microsoft owns Nokia. Don't think they will give in to Google.

But still the phone is damn lovely. For someone who wants mid-range phone. Not bad of a choice.

initial reaction... i thought it was size of clothing... X, XL... :S

anyway, its a good start and good price too. distancing from Google might be a good idea since I'm beginning to get worried about privacy thingy -- with the NSA spying, etc. not that i have anything to hide, but still...

as it is, i already starting to abandon Google Drive and use MEGA. storage also more -- free 50GB.

back to topic... when this NSA thingy exploded, i think it was Ms who first said they will also have server/ storage outside USA to avoid this 'spying' controversy. so again... good idea to move away a bit from Google.

no gapps, means no google play. my paid apps wont be bought over when i switch phone,

not to mention these following apps cant be install in nokia's android fork:

chrome

drive
gmail
youtube
hangouts
maps
play books
play music
keep
news stand

these nokia phone are unlikely to be upgraded to any new android version as well

i believe earlier rumours already mentioned that this phone will be use forked android and will probably not come with GApps. after all, these days, Google is kinda strict on apps that ships with GApps.

but like others have said... should be easy to install GApps.

The specs X, X+, XL

whats the huge deal with privacy these days.
they just spy on you to target you with more effective adds thats all.
pretty harmless

everything that is free earns money through advertising.
nothing is truly free

Don't know yet though.

Seems very possible since it's Android. The thing that still won't make it good is it is not high-end.
I would switch from my Nokia 1020 WP to a Nokia 1020 Android version.

Very very strange. It feels more like a way for Microsoft to promote WP.
You want high-end..switch to WP. Unless they release a high-end version.
But my doubts are high that they will never do so, lets see how the sales goes.

wow... specs are really low-end... :S

android version 4.1.2 based on hands-on by engadget

That explain why the cheap too.

With the amount of RAM, it will choke.
Unless someone can get good use of Kitkat....CyanogenMod on Nokia

well, we dun really know what else was leaked and exposed... but ya, for average ppl like most of us, should be no big deal... but still... the thought that our stuffs could be on wikileaks... not fun.

yes, company need to earn, so they go via advertising. the thing then is... many are then using ad blockers -- denying the company of $.

again, its no big deal... for now anyway.

Holy

If in this case, i will prefer to get a Huawei or XiaoMi to play play ....

goodbye to nokia
