This Phone Is Microsoft's Best, Maybe Only, Chance At Winning The Smartphone War | |

During the keynote at Microsoft's big developer conference, CEO Steve Ballmer very subtly highlighted what could be the key to the company's future in smartphones. After talking about two high-end smartphones from Nokia, he picked up a Nokia Lumia 521. He said, "It too is a beautiful product. This product will be sold outside of the United States. Primarily in countries where the phone operators do not subsidize, that is they do not reduce the price of the phone. But this phone will be sold for just over $150, which is really quite amazing for a product that's this beautiful, this gorgeous, and at this kind of inexpensive price." | ||

| "This product will be sold outside of the United States." This is a BIG reason Windows Phone market share will not grow rapidly. Microsoft is ignoring the fast growing prepaid cell services in the US. This is an area that MS should target, not ignore. But, Ballmer shows his ongoing arrogance here as cheap less versatile Android phones will continue to grab US prepaid phone market share while $150 Windows 8 phones are nowhere to be seen. So stupid. |

Isn't that Nokia's decision? MS doesn't as of yet make phones.

| #2: Microsoft pulls Nokia's strings by pushing money at them. So, if MS wanted a "cheap" phone in the USA it would happen. |

| Glad you're privy to the Nokia strategy meetings. Tell us more. |
