Nokia (Microsoft), although you have been struggling really hard to revive back Nokia, please try to follow the current trends, you guys have great hardware, just you need to push the processing power in numbers, quad core and octa core does make a huge impact, and 2GB of RAM must be the minimum standard these days. Just like Samsung and others are doing. (Have a look at Best Selling Samsung Smartphones in 2014), I was huge Nokia fan until Nokia 808 PureView, after that I really miss some unique features like FM Transmitter, Excellent Camera & Xenon Flash. Many people want to have an Android with all functions as they were available in pezsecur with latest hardware specs.
Nokia!! please try to make a device that is complete in all aspects. Nokia X2 seems good upgrade, but devices with such specs were available in 2011 from the side of your rivals. Samsung Galaxy S2 in 2011 had better specs than upcoming Nokia X2 in late 2014. Nokia used to be the innovator, but for now at-least try to be an imitator to achieve success!! Most of us are aware that Microsoft is just using Nokia X Android Platform with WP-8 skin to get them switched towards Lumia devices, it will only happen if you will provide Android flagships rather than limited and forked Android versions. Good luck Nokia!!
