Nokia would be excellent strategic fit to Lenovo. They would have wider availability of screen sizes, would power up their relation to MS, could use Nokia’s brand in tablet space and could sell NSN and mapping parts. They are strong in the business segment, where Nokia currently has the best potential.

C)They want to keep costs below average so they can sell in other markets instead of just to the markets that have carriers with subsidized costs.

And what do you mean about “great phone?” It would be subjective if you said…1080p/quad core/3GB’s of ram/5.5″ screen etc as that would not make much of a difference as the OS is already smooth enough to handle much less hardware? -Nor would I care about the huge screen. Or how bout the gimmicky software such as eyeball tracking/hover touch Samsung has on their new products? Is that considered a great enough product?

Or does great phone mean that it simply sells well?

I own one as well here in the States, but I am plagued with constants resets whenever my phone switches to 2G from 3G (which for some reason I rarely get here in the 7th largest city in the US).

Belle cannot be used as my daily driver…I’m sorry, there are just too many drawbacks for me and I would rather use any other OS than it…even if it was Windows Phone.

Today more and more people look at the specs. Screen size, number of cores and resolution are very important numbers for those people. They just pick the phone with better numbers and that’s it. It doesn’t matter if WP need quad core or not.

That’s why WP will be losing sales if it doesn’t have quad core. That’s also one reason for Symbian’s demise. Nokia’s Symbian software was really not capable of using multiple cores.

I thought it would’ve been hard to find evidence to write a 20+ graduate research paper on the ethical decisions Apple has made over the last 10+ years. Oh boy, was I wrong.
