@rookiepatty Windows phone might not be successful with individual consumers market, but it is very successful in business/corporate market.

Nokia was the only winner of Microsoft's resilience in keeping their archaic phone in the market!

@Ubbe Nokia had for long ignored the R&D required to switch from their ancient OS into "smart phones" with the Android OS thinking that the people in the emerging markets are too dumb to ever hold a touch screen phone in their hands and would forever go with their bricks instead. By the time they realized how late they were to the game the train had already left the station and they were left holding their arrogant Finnish dicks in their hands with their market shares plummeted to ashes by the iPhone and the Androids. They only realized the depth of the disaster when even the Chinese who have a long history of buying outdated western brands of the old didn't even want to spend a dime on their entire company! It took an even more arrogant silly corporation with way too much money, Microsoft, to be dumb enough to come and purchase them in an attempt not to look butt hurt after HTC publicly announced that they are dropping the production of their Windows Phones due to abysmal sales!

@Ubbe Now that you know how it went down, you might be able to see that the only winners were indeed the previous owners of Nokia.
