This is funny because Finland was so proud of Nokia, now we have saunas... that's about it, yay

So they hire Stephen Elop, the man who helped drive Nokia into the ground, as cheif of Micosofts Device team. I can't see where this will fail

why the hell are you using a bitly link, where does it go? and what is your opinion on the matter, this is not twitter and you are not subjected to character limitations so use a full link (even on twitter you should just use the built in shortener and not an external one)

I'm really really looking forward to this, if I get a phone ever I'm seriously considering trying windows phone but there isn't as many budget solutions as I would like.

The Nokia phones look awesome too so hopefully ill see a sub 150 nzd phone! Sub 100 would be amazing too!

Nokia was pretty much already 6 feet under when Elop jumped aboard. He also worked for Microsoft before he joined Nokia as well.

I know, but he didn't really help
