I somehow have the feeling they'll go down :(
I love my bold. I never had a phone with such a strong battery. I know you can't do much with it compared to todays smartphones but it's perfect enough for work.

Market share is also finally growing. I've been hearing the opposite. Where are you reading this?
http://www.businessinsider.com/finally-microsoft-has-stopped... Inevitably, they put the reverse spin on it because it's trendy... Also, you've got to call bullshit on the stats as the widely deployed Nokia Series 30/40 phones are still the most ubiquitous worldwide

I've owned a couple of BlackBerry and each new one was a worse experience than its predecessor. I was pretty happy with my Bold 9000, by that time it was convenient, fast and very good at email and texts (what I do mostly). Then others caught up. The newer BlackBerry had a crappy keyboard and they weren't very good at playing MP3 and there were very few applications. At some point I gave up and I switched to the Lumi…
That's been scrapped for Windows Phone 8 though. It is NT-based.

Growing 0.1% from last quarter is hardly "growing" or any indication about a bright future ahead of it. What happens if next quarter they are down again since I assume even fewer people will want to buy Nokia's Lumia now that they know it won't be upgraded to WP8?
I know 5 people who've binned iPhones for Lumia 710/800 handsets on contract renewal citing that the iPhone is clunky.
(I will say I got rid of my Lumia 710 recently and replaced with a basic phone but that's not really because the OS or the device suck).

Interesting. If MS starts making any real headway in the market I think that's really going to shake up the native app businesses. People are suffering enough already writing Android and iOS apps. A third platform is probably going to drive a lot of people to the web.
To summarize, a dead-end OS's last best hope is stealing market share from another dead-end OS. Welcome to technologyland.
Microsoft's latest trial, again portrayed as a killer platform. Come on guys, Microsoft's ambition is good but their track record proves that they can't compete on mobile . If Windows8 fails, I hope Ms gives up mobile totally and behaves the IBM/Oracle way, i.e. sucking the cash out of their client base to the full limit.
