Operators: Nokia Would Sell Better With Android 439
nk497 writes "Mobile operators are complaining that Nokia's Lumia line of handsets would sell better if it ran a different OS — or if Microsoft was more willing to put marketing money behind Windows Phone. 'No one comes into the store and asks for a Windows phone,' said an executive in charge of mobile devices at one European operator. He said Microsoft's software worked nicely with PCs and allowed you 'to do tons of cool things,' but few customers knew this. 'If the Lumia with the same hardware came with Android in it and not Windows, it would be much easier to sell,' he said."

Then you could slut it into a laptop "shell" and have it be your laptop.
Giggity.

your so right! I mean other than the SOC, multi-touch, Cocoa Touch, the iOS kernel, and a bunch of other stuff it's exactly like an HTC phone.

It was an Italian car? Windows was probably installed to increase its reliability.
It was Italian. Windows running on Italian automotive electrics just seems like the kind of car you'd rent in Hell.
