ITT: The worst decisions in the history of technology

Pic related. Nokia moving to Windows Phone was a disaster.

Dubs don't lie.
What makes it worse that literally everyone knew it was going to be a disaster, and everyone told them. This is why nice things don't happen

The Lumia phones were good though, right?

they were great for the price but you still ended up with windows phone

Actually they made the best phones available pre-windows phone 10.
Including OS.

fuck you, the Lumia phones were great. It's only fault was that it did not have 1 million fart apps, but as far as the OS goes, it's the most user friendly smartphone interface I've ever used.

I own a Lumia 650. I don't get why people are shitting on W10 Mobile. It's the same shit as W8.

ive upgraded my low end blu win jr lte phone from win 8 to win 10
its slightly worse because:
>messenger app is more buggy
>everything has become tiny, scaling doesnt seem to fix it enough
>camera app is a lot slower

You're a stupid nigger. You were supposed to buy a new phone, faggot.

Kill all NEETs.

Fuck I got that phone after my iPhone 4 3gs died. Honestly was the coolest phone I had. Pulled it out and all the bitches would flock to me.

why would i buy a new phone
this still works

Because they're cheap as shit and can't run new software.

3gs* don't know where the 4 came from

>new software
>on windows phone
the os was an official promised upgrade

I loved my lumia 500 :) good battery life, good display and form factor, sleek and swift tho

The OS is new software. Your phone obviously can't run it.

then they shouldnt have force updated it
how is this my fault

>how is this my fault
Because you were too cheap to buy a new phone.
>boo hoo my free shit isn't perfect
No shit, it's free you entitled faggot.

>why are you not consuming
>you have to be consuming otherwise youre at fault
fucking capitalists

Nah, Nokia made a really good business decision. Based on the hype microshaft generated, they were making a solid move after Symbian lost the majority market share and every other mobile OS attempt they made, while technically good software were marketing failures.

Then they suffered a marketing success with a product that was promised and not delivered as hyped.

Design wise I can't think of any devices better than Lumia phones.

WP is comfy to use and feels much better than Android or iOS, but the lack of apps along with MS not giving two shits about the platform just killed it.

Nokia is a finnish company, and we know that Finns tend to be autists.

First they didn't want to abandon Symbian and instead of switching to Android they went for Microshit.


Their phone cams are still the best out there today.

The picture quality of the Nokia 808 is immense, beats high priced digital cams.
