Ya know, some how it's comforting to know that a company can write off $7.6 billion like it's no big deal.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

And Nokia is going back into the mobile phone business in 2016.

The Nokia Lumia 928 is a POS phone...I can personally attest to that.

The phone is not worth the effort. Among other issues sometimes the main screen decides to only display half the screen, so I have to reset it to bring it back on. It always comes back up, but the fact that it does it drives me crazy. Also, about 50% of the time with a phone call I can't hear the people I'm talking to, but they can hear me fine. I have to whack my phone against a solid surface and suddenly it works perfectly fine. This, I don't mind so much. I enjoy beating this useless phone.

Mistakes were made. I will rectify that in October when the contract is finally up. I'm leaning towards an Android.

I have a Lumia 521. It only cost me $35 and I've been pretty happy with it. The power/volume buttons gave out in less than a year, but I've learned to work around those things. Otherwise it's been decent. It's a phone and does most anything else I need it to. Is it an iPhone or an S3? Hell no, but I didn't want to spend hundreds on a phone.

The phones I get are usually free with a 2-year contract. No way in hell I'm paying hundreds for a phone (I can get a damn laptop for that money). I'm over the iPhone and I have a 6 anyway from work so I don't see the need to have two of them.
