I hope they'll bring the 130 to America. I want that phone so bad but they need to pump out a "133G" (130 with 3G, and the pre-existing GSM).

I wonder how many Nokia fans there is.
That just a year back bashing out that Lumia and Microsoft Win phone OS was the best.
...And everything else sucked...
Will bashing out that Android is the best, but only if it is running on a Nokia phone.
Well most people don't care what a Nokia fanboi says or cries out...

Good that Nokia will come back in the phone industry, but it would be better to come up with phones running on both Android and WP. So the customer has a choice.

Future is android. Top seller for next 5 years. So it is a NICE move for nokia to start android phones.

Will be hard or it will be easy for Nokia to gain a foothold on the Android phone market.
Todays smartphones look more or less the same whether they were a 2010 Samsung or a 2015 iphone.
Nokia only have their name to sell phones with. Sadly the name Nokia have been dragged in the dirt, by making those failed WinPhones with Microsoft.
Nokias only chance is that there are alot of Nokia-fanbois out there still.

What you people need to understand is that the Chinese can produce bad quality, great quality and everything in between.
It all depends on the amount you want to spend in building something.

poki29, 24 Apr 2015windows phone is the best.Yes, WP is ... "the best or nothing" but I'd say that it WAS. Now we're going to use made in China phones. Chinese should stick with cooking because in that aspect they're really good. The problem is not with China the problem is with Nokia. Still we have to understand them ... they want profit, more profit because Android is very very popular and WP is not even close. At least MS could merge with the Canadians and do us all a favor. BB is good too as a smartphone manufacturer and as an operating system. Who wouldn't want MeeGo back? But it's entirely have to do with Nokia. And now they're going to the biggest Asian country in the world and one of the biggest markets.

AnonD-183154, 24 Apr 2015So basically a Chinese phone with Nokia branding.Their all Chinese phones. It does't mean they're bad. Heres some chinese phones for you. Apple iPhones. Motorolas. Sonys... The list goes on and on. All phone manufacturers manufacture phones in China. ALL of them. Not every phone they make, but many many phones.
