Guess what, guys? If you own a Windows Phone device, this ad campaign was really all about you. Yes, even with the just recently announced news that there will be no 'second wave' of Windows 10 upgrades for many of the promised Windows Phone 8.1 devices.
Keep waiting... but please grab a nice and comfortable chair as it ain't coming from Microsoft just yet... just kidding... it is isn't coming ever... www.theverge.com/2017/10/9/16446280/microsoft-finally-admits-windows-phone-is-dead#post-new-comment
And you are understating things.... Windows Phone 7 was an Alpha quality product... Windows 8, barely a Beta... Windows 8.1 kinda of a release, and Windows 10 Mobile just a farewell party... or maybe a funeral...
i got a lumia and i have to say it's one of the best phones I've ever used. It's so much more streamlined efficient, plus the screen doesnt have the highest resolution but for some reason everything just pops out at you. The display is gorgeous.
google nexus owner here, no lag, fragmentation, spyware or malware here. Best phone I've ever owned personally. Also, if the whole wp7.8 (which they are refusing to release until sometime next year lol) vs. wp8 fiasco isn't fragmentation, I don't know what is.
Today, Microsoft announced that Skype will cut future support for Windows Phone 7. Microsoft has not put Windows Phone 8 on Nokia Lumia 900. What a pile of poop.
Make no mistake - at least until Windows 10, everything related to Windows is still de facto beta. I have a Lumia 920 and I'm ready to wait until late 2015 (hoping for the best) but this is it. It's a true make or break moment, if there ever was one. You're treading on thin ice, fellas.
Lumia 930, waiting for the first Redstone build. The mic closest to the camera, ergo the left/mono mic stopped working last summer. With WP8.1 and Lumia Camera I could still get sound in the right channel but that's not an option in MS's Camera. Also, the bitrates have dropped from 56 Mb/s to 40 Mb/s for 2160p. Anyway, there are many things to like (especially the settings menus) but there are also WTFs like the hamburger menus. If my 930 breaks this year I'm getting a Xiaomi Mi 5 or Samsung Galaxy S7.(no Edge) and hope Microsoft will be ready when it's time to release Redstone's and Surface Phone's successors to buy one. That's exactly what this article suggests. But again, while it's a nice reading, there's still too much talk and not enough action. Soon™ www.windowscentral.com/windows-phone-isnt-dead-no-consumer-left-behind
I bought a 930 after I accidentally dropped the 920 and cracked the glass. While the phone and its LCD still worked the crack had spread all over the surface and anything on the screen was hard to read because of that. Instead of replacing the glass (I'd have to buy the whole screen, not just glass separately) I decided to upgrade.
Microsoft just announced that they'll stop supporting Windows Phone 7.8 and Windows Phone 8 in 3rd quarter 2014. Congratulations, the beta testers they were really referring to was YOU.
I've had 3 iphones, 2 androids, 1 Windows 7.5 phone. Win 7.5 is so good, I still don't understand how something this good was designed by Microsoft. But still looks to be a walled garden, so sticking with Android.
Any product could be considered a beta test when compared to its successor. This ad is just a piece of marketing that promotes WP7's differentiating UI that aims to make the basic features of a smart phone easier to use.
Since the Lumia 900 was the last and best Windows Phone 7, then they aren't technically wrong. With the Lumia 900 it really WAS over, signifying the END of the Beta Test. I would still love to have one even now...with my third Lumia coming in, I'm growing quite the collection! I got an HD7, Lumia 710, Lumia 810 and now the Lumia 521 in a couple of days! =P
Nice concept Nokia! But Nokia's number 1 problem is they choose to release it first to ignoramous side of the world who's fanboyism is unmatch. Even most tech reporters over there are mostly ifanboys. Better they launch it first in Europe who appreciate technology better or in asia. As for me, am ready for it and as ready for the Windows Phone 8 with pureview camera feature... competition is so good, so there's no need to hate!
Yes, competition is good for every consumer, regardless of the smartphone brand of their choice... Nokia/Microsoft brings a real and unique alternative to Apple and Google, and that's good.
I've got a windows phone and almost every app is in beta. I don't use Instagram but it has been in beta for a whole freakin year! I was in love with my first WP but now looking at it all, it seems like a joke.
so basically we have had crappy smart phones and they knew. so many days of suffering with this crap....for what....FOR WHAT. NOTHING....NOTHING I TELL YOU
this is awesome lol imagine people took this commericial seriously and started chucking their blackberries and iphones on the floor ....am not saying android cause they told you their phones are going to be glitchy as hell
nokia has been doing smartphones for years, but did not release them in the US, plus nokia is the leading phone company in the world. do some research.
It's funny because iphone 4s is buggy $hit. Safari crashes on me everyday, apps take a minimun of 5 seconds to load up, when scrolling through apps, it is EXTREMELY laggy. This is a few of the numerous flaws of stupid ios and iphone. Windows Phone ftw because I have tried even a Samsung Focus and it surpassed my stupid iphone.
Every phone can be a will be improved within a minute. So this phone is a prototype as well for a newer model already being worked on. Fail commercial and false advertising.
Lmfao the irony of this commercial is remarkable. Windows Phone and Windows 10 Mobile is nothing but a Beta test!

Irony level: 150%. I hate my Lumia 900. It was... a beta tester.

Now I understand why AT&T was so eager to promote these Lumia phones. They're going to make a fortune on early termination fees.
Today, Microsoft announced that Skype will cut future support for Windows Phone 7. Microsoft has not put Windows Phone 8 on Nokia Lumia 900.
What a pile of poop.
I did not get, after beta comes the alpha?

+Panthera Tigris I was wondering because you said you had a 920...but now you have a 930 I guess you got 10 mobile

+Panthera Tigris You kinda lucked out by dropping the 920... It isn't getting 10 mobile
So what was Windows Phone 7, if not a beta test for Windows Phone 8, the "real" release?
Chris Parnell is awesome. The Ice T cameo was pretty sweet to see too. Good work Nokia!
Hello all Lumia 900 users. You are gamma test users!
Thanks for your contributions and patience!
Microsoft just announced that they'll stop supporting Windows Phone 7.8 and Windows Phone 8 in 3rd quarter 2014. Congratulations, the beta testers they were really referring to was YOU.
it's funny, because the Nokia Lumia 900 and Windows Phone 7 were the actual beta tests.
I've had 3 iphones, 2 androids, 1 Windows 7.5 phone. Win 7.5 is so good, I still don't understand how something this good was designed by Microsoft. But still looks to be a walled garden, so sticking with Android.
This was a funny idea for a commercial, basically sayin that this phone makes every phone before it look and perform like a prototype
What exactly is a legacy device?
Any product could be considered a beta test when compared to its successor.
This ad is just a piece of marketing that promotes WP7's differentiating UI that aims to make the basic features of a smart phone easier to use.
wait were all smart phones actually in beta? or is this just a promotional ad saying nokia 900 is better than any other phone?
Is that Scoble as a scuba diver?

This ad did not age well.
the "whatever" part is the funniest shit ive seen
So....how's that Lumia - thing working out, Elop?
I saw it during a SVU athon and I had to find it on You Tube. I knew that was Fin.

You cant say that again 920 here!
just ordered mine
I've got a windows phone and almost every app is in beta. I don't use Instagram but it has been in beta for a whole freakin year! I was in love with my first WP but now looking at it all, it seems like a joke.
Because Google isn't paying them a billion USD to do it. Simple really...
It's Dr. Spashehman!
Does anyone know the name of the actor in the scuba outfit? I think I know him and I can't place him. I think he lives in Seattle.
It's hard to believe this is self inflicted. :D
we all know ice-t had the most funniest part of the video.
Bump Nokia thanks for letting me know im a bata tester. Wish I would've read deeply into this.
not anymore if you have a bug on it you can get your money back, keep the phone, and fix the bug.
Dr. Spaceman!
He mean ANY (0:06) smartphone, not only Nokia or Windows Phone based :)
Too bad MS just announced that non of the current WP7 phones will upgrade to W8. lol
0:19 is he Andy Wigley???
so basically we have had crappy smart phones and they knew. so many days of suffering with this crap....for what....FOR WHAT. NOTHING....NOTHING I TELL YOU
I'm a beta tester! I got my Lumia 1 month ago!!! hahaha
they trolled you real good....
No, after Beta comes the final product
I knew it; my _____ is driving me crazy but my Verizon contract is not up for another 4 months.
it just make me laugh every time i look at this video... hahahaha..
Right, since average joe knows what "beta test" means.
this commercial really piss's me off I've tested this phone i like my phone a lot better.
Wow, this is terrible. What's next? Microsoft will start labeling devices "Legacy" before they even start selling?
Yes - what is with people who 'need' several'? Also, I get a new phone when I NEED to - NOT like some fools, who get one every few weeks, it seems.
this is awesome lol imagine people took this commericial seriously and started chucking their blackberries and iphones on the floor ....am not saying android cause they told you their phones are going to be glitchy as hell
DR.SPACEMAN!!!!!!
Ice-T, wat dah heck?!
Nokia?
Is that a company which do pretty nice phones, like 20$ and flashlight?
thanks for the good laugh, nokia =)
Who is the target market for this commercial? It makes me cringe, and I was actually planning to buy a Nokia phone soon.
nokia has been doing smartphones for years, but did not release them in the US, plus nokia is the leading phone company in the world. do some research.
hahaha the commercial is funny!!!
Windows Phone + Nokia = Epic Fail!!!!
This is suggesting that Windows Phone is better than Android or iOS, I don't think so.
It's funny because iphone 4s is buggy $hit. Safari crashes on me everyday, apps take a minimun of 5 seconds to load up, when scrolling through apps, it is EXTREMELY laggy. This is a few of the numerous flaws of stupid ios and iphone. Windows Phone ftw because I have tried even a Samsung Focus and it surpassed my stupid iphone.
Is this really Nohkia's excuse?
Every phone can be a will be improved within a minute. So this phone is a prototype as well for a newer model already being worked on. Fail commercial and false advertising.
and apple is just started the beta test for their shitty map app
If only this phone had android 4.0. The designs great but windows phone? No thanks
