Readers, please note that whoever is scolding the author and trying to praise Windows Phone are the JUNK MARKETING STUPIDS hired by Microsoft to make WP's presence on the Internet.

So, don't believe these comments praising WP. They are all BOGUS.

The fact is revealed by WP's market share and not by these JUNK guy's positive comments.

WP is derived from WM (Windows Mobile) and they had 40% market share in 2006. Their market share is declining gradually and now it is hardly 3.9% (WP=1.9% WM=2%) in the US. Outside US, the situation is still bad.

The open source Android is killing WP which a closed system and a very bad OS with bad user interface. That is why its market-share is declining day by day.

Microsoft is asking Nokia to give away Lumia 900 for FREE in order to increase WP's market share. But for how long can Nokia give them for FREE ?

Hence, WP is death bed and will be killed soon by Android.

Android is selling 1 million daily whereas WP is selling 2 million in a quarter and that too if they give away for FREE.

Wow, you are unloading LIES. Windows Phone is NOT derived from Windows Mobile. They share nothing in common except the company that produced those 2 VERY different mobile operating systems. Microsoft is asking Nokia to give phones away? If you believe that, then you believe in conspiracy theories, shadow governments, and the tooth fairy.

Well, is going to change. I have my Lumia 800 and I love it. Since January but is anounced to be in Mexico very soon. 900 go out in March. I expected in Nov but is here. Announced, party already happen, triptics in stores but the hardware is not here yet. I lie I see a demo unit un Best Buy but locked so you cannot use it. A lot to learn yet in selling the devices.

I'm pretty sure you already know this, but for the general audience, unless he's talking about some new promotion, you can't.

Computerworld - Nokia's Lumia 900 won't be free much longer. A $100 discount being offered on the $99.99 smartphone (with two-year service contract required) will expire at the end of business on April 21, Nokia confirmed Thursday.

I'm afraid you're too late. Anyone that bought the Lumia 900 from AT&T prior to Apr 26 (they cost $100 at the time) got a $100 refund on their first bill. This was actually funded by Nokia to compensate for a data glitch the early phones had and has since been fixed. That's when I picked up mine and it was legit, the refund showed up on this billing cycle.

Ya I knew just thought I'd toy with NandanA a little, trying a different tactic with the trolls.

I am an Android user for many years, and recommended a WP7 for my wife, she is not tech-savvy. Because the UI is intuitive and unconventional, it works great for her. Many iOS users buy iPhones, because many feel it is a status symbol (look at all the cases that will not hide the Apple logo on the back, so people know "hey, look at me I am using an Apple iPhone", ditto with Macbooks).
It's clear that if you're a power user go for Android, if you're a bit on the vain side, get iOS, and if you just want a simple to use Smartphone, get the WP7.

Just the facts:

Per Gartner the Microsoft share of the overall smartphone market declined to 1.9% 1Q2012 compared to 1Q2011 with 2.9%. Android has 56.1% of the market 1Q2012 increasing from 36.4% in 1Q2011.

Looks like smoked to me.

I'm now on my second WP7 phone...and I think the platform is spectacular. The clunky iPhone seems toy-like and silly in comparison.

I don't doubt the numbers here...but if WP7 and its followup fail in the marketplace....it will just go to show how psychotic the market really is.

I have an old Motorola dumb cell and really enjoy it. Seems as if everyone has a Droid or Iphone almost as if they're sheep. The Iphone in particular seems very much a status symbol more than anything else.

I cannot imagine ever wanting a Windows phone, it does not matter what Microsoft does, the basic concept of a Windows powered phone just does not appeal to me at all. After being an Apple fanboy for years, I think Android 4.x has overtaken it. Trying to sell Windows phones seems like flogging a dead horse to me, not interested in even trying it.

I too have a dumb RAZR w375 that I love; it nicely sits in a holster I can pin to my lapel, or hook on my car and drive hands free. The cellphone provider, net10, stupidly programmed all the features out of it -- like, the ability to interface with my computer -- so when I use up my $800 worth of net10 minutes, I'll unlock the phone and go elsewhere.

No smart phone can do that. Most clumsy design I've ever seen, these tablet phones.

No smart phone can do what? Be handsfree? Sit in a holster? Sorry to tell you this chief, but my last 4 smart phones all could do that. That is going all the way back to Windows Mobile 5 for ya.

My unlocked Lumia 920 WP8 on T-Mobile's network just smoked my co-workers new Sprint Android Samsung Note when download the CVS app. we both started at the same time @ 3G speed and no other apps open. My WP8 downloaded, installed and ran the app in less than 30 seconds. Then I uninstalled in in another 3-4 seconds. Her Samsung Note had only reached 8% download by the time I uninstalled. Then I checked weather and uploaded another app and read emails and input a LIVE calendar date - hers was still not done downloading. Windows Phone's smoke androids and notes. I saw it with my own eyes.
