The two console rivals have a new front to compete on... Phone hardware... http://mobile.bloomberg.com/news/2013-09-03/microsoft-to-buy-nokia-s-devices-business-for-5-44-billion-euros.html?cmpid= Although separate companies, I can't think integrating 32K Nokia employees will allow MS to maintain focus on their gaming division. Thoughts?
Very interesting.. lately i been really interested in getting that new Sony andriod phone that works under water lol.. its really cool with some amazing specs

Might want to hold off, they're announcing a new one quite soon.
Got an S4, looking to trade up for a Honami if it comes out in the US. Knowing Sony though, it won't. Nokia lost me a while ago when they dumped MeeGo.
What windows phones have been around awhile now it was just done by Nokia :S so i don't see any difference between ms having it and nokia they were both working together anyway it was just the right thing to do. Sony have been around forever in mobiles, nout new there, and it aint a battlefield, samsung and apple have that market wrapped up
Who would have thought that when Elop joined that Nokia would kill off all their internal smartphone development and end up using Windows Phone? And that they'd keep on using Windows Phone as their market share dropped along with the value of the company? And that the company would ultimately end up being bought by Microsoft and that Elop would return there?

sony ericsson doesnt exist anymore, where have you been the whole time :? Also sony. is the third highest cellphone manufacturer I've been living in a market dominated by Apple and Android. Oh wait, that's reality. Also, I only said Ericsson because if I just say Sony, people are gonna take it as Sony as in SCE.

Off topic: elop is just one letter away from flop, coincidence :?
[QUOTE="bobbetybob"]Makes sense, Nokia's are basically Windows Phones these days.sts106mat
yep, i've had two windows phones. currently got the Lumia 925, it is fantastic, the camera is exceptional. halo spartan assault is a fun little game too.
Actaully bought Spartan Assault myself the other day, have yet to give it a proper go
Called it months ago although it was probably just a lucky guess ;)

Xperia Z is still top dog as of right now though, IMO.

Yea one of the best handsets i've had. Sony stuff is seriously high build quality
:lol:
You must be having a laugh? Sure, the high end phones are quite good, but the mid-tier and budget line are absolutely awful. Like, seriously bad. That's probably mostly due to Android being a bit of a mess though.

Might want to hold off, they're announcing a new one quite soon. It's a phablet why would you take that over the Z?

It's doing better than their other phones but it is not doing very well, just about decent.
Well even if i'm a party of one, i'm happy with it as I love my Lumia 920 and my HTC WP7 before it. To each there own but I actually like Windows phones a lot and prefer them over the big two so yeah... go MS.
