LG backs off Windows Phone
Authored by: symbolset on Monday, April 30 2012 @ 11:11 PM EDT

This was a reparse of the statement given. Even if they've no interest, there's no point is going more hurtful than they already did. The other article I read had this beautiful quote:

LG is giving up on Microsoft's Windows Phone platform, for the moment, because "the total unit of Windows Phones sold in the global market is not a meaningful figure." - Infor mationweek

That doesn't sound like they see a lot of future opportunity there.

The comment drones are all over this one though. The content that people will post is just amazing.

LG backs off Windows Phone

LG is in the target zone for Oracle. They've been making their own
feature phone OS for years, using Java. So they know a thing or two
about how these things work, and they aim for the bling market,
so they have standards to uphold. I guess present generation WinPho
just doesn't cut it. But my advice to them would be get ready to lawyer up,
'cos whether Oracle wins or loses against Google, it's on the warpath.

LG backs off Windows Phone
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, May 01 2012 @ 12:30 AM EDT

At the beginning of the year Nokia claimed that it had sold a million WP7 phones
(to date in mid Jan). It also claimed that this was 1/3 market share.

Nokia has recently claimed that it 'sold' (probably actually channel stuffing
shipments) 2 million Lumias.

It may well be that Nokia didn't increase the total WP7 market share but stole
share off the other WP7 makers. With MS supporting the advertising and giving
commissions to sales staff for pushing Nokias why would _anyone_ else make WP7
phones.
