Water Cooler Rumors and Gossip

I wonder how scratch resistant that flexible screen material is. It would likely be much harder to break/shatter, but if it scratches easily I would rather stick with Gorilla Glass.
 
Six inch screen is way too big for me. I'm drawing the line at five unless they can somehow squeeze another fraction of screen into the current S3/S4 size.
 
Does anyone have any info on the Nokia X that is supposed to run Android? Nokia has always had decent cameras. I'd be interested in what flavor of Android, and where it would be available.

I can't see Microsoft putting out an Android Nokia phone, it would be an admission that Windows Phone is a failure and undermine the whole brand. I'd like it to happen, though. Nokia makes nice stuff.
 
I will call this a rumor since I haven't seen an announcement yet. Besides it gives me a chance to point to a hands on evaluation of a new product.

The LG G Flex is supposed to go on sale at AT&T tomorrow (31 Jan.) and at Sprint (5 Feb.). Phone Scoop has the review.

I hate to disagree with you Gmash, but this was published just yesterday. :)

"Round The Rumor Mill: Microsoft Still Plans to Release Nokia X Android Phone"

You take a phone with weak hardware. Put an old version of Android on it. MS then says how much better a windows phone is. Simple logic. :)

Meh, if it ever sees the light of day, it looks like something slated for third-world countries. Maybe they have an internal team who has to keep a toe on the Android waters so they'll be somewhat prepared when Windows Phone finishes dying its slow death.

Remember when Nokia use to be respected for their phones :mad:
 
Here is a 12 minute video alleging to be the Sony Xperia Z2. It looks like an interesting device. It uses the LG G2 double tap to wake up. The screen looks sharp. I was surprised how good it sounded coming through the stereo speakers on my desktop computer.

Honestly I hope they don't do this. I love android but I also believe that windows phone and windows operating system could be amazing if developers would do better. Windows is a great os and I use it everyday. They could compete with android. I don't know why its not doing so well. If I had the money, I'd probably buy a surface pro. But here's the thing. I don't need another full blown computer. I can't justify $1100 for a tablet in which a $500 Samsung tablet could furfill all my needs.
 
Desperate times call for desperate measures. I think it's a good thing. Lack of apps is one thing that's held WP back, and Android needs more competition, they are getting too cocky for my liking.
