The minimum on WP is 512 MB of RAM. And they run quite nice at that minimum, unlike the laggy Android UI.

Uh, just tried this on my Lumia 920, you just long-press on any message you want. Three options: "Copy, Forward, Delete". As least find something else to lie about.
It's not that hard to use iTunes with Windows Phone. Many people do it. Also, MS has already said all WP8 devices will be upgradeable to WP8.1 and beyond.
Shrinking in a few markets, but growing in more. http://www.forbes.com/sites/ewanspence/2013/09/02/windows-phone-market-share-up-around-the-world-but-american-sales-still-weak/
Yes, Windows Mobile was pretty bad. I used it, but only recommended it to tech-savvy friends, and even then with reservations.
Windows Phone, OTOH, is a big breath of fresh air, as far as the UI is concerned. Needs some iteration and added features, but it's a good product with good potential, simply put. Hopefully MS doesn't give up on it.
Windows Phone is indeed struggling a bit in the saturated US smartphone market, but it's doing much better elsewhere. This was the first hit for a Google news search for "windows phone sales"; try not to cherry pick your sources next time.
Exactly. People like to say (especially here) that Microsoft caused Nokia to fail, but the writing was on the wall long before Elop arrived.
We spend almost 4 orders of magnitude more on subsidizing the digging of stuff out of the earth, so we can burn it. On subsidizing the most profitable corporations in the history of mankind. Hurray us.
Thank you for bringing some facts, even if you are downgraded for it. The PC market is pretty well saturated, so it's quite understandable for it to slow. Doesn't mean people will suddenly stop using Windows though.
As far as I know, almost every game console in history was sold at a loss. Money is made in game licensing, etc.
30 million WP users.
30 million is more than 11.
For some use cases, the performance of an SSD might not even beat a cheap spinny disk.
So fixating on a narrow definition of typically is really extraordinarily stupid.
Ooof, you make my head hurt. Wish I had some mod points to downvote this. In MOST use cases, SSDs will be a tremendous speed upgrade. As most people here are saying, the idea is to have both an SSD for OS/application installs, and a traditional HDD for media storage. That is far from a "narrow definition of [typical]". It is ideal for most people, if they can afford it.
Interestingly enough, the most reliable SSDs I know of are made by Samsung. I have a set of Samsung 830 SSDs (128GB and 256GB sizes) that have been going strong for about twelve months now... The Plextor M5S 128GB is also proving to be quite reliable in my desktop.
Which Samsung SSD are you running that's so unreliable? Sounds like you should just RMA it, tbh.
My Samsung SSD 840 500GB has been extremely solid.
Sure about that? This was just in the news yesterday.
