There’s one very good reason why the brilliant social news site Reddit bills itself as “the front page of the internet”. Because it has the stats to prove it. In 2012, it gained over 37 billion page views and 400 million unique visitors. Some of these visitors were checking out the thriving Nokia and Windows Phone communities found in subreddits such as Windows Phone, Lumia Lovers and Nokia. Why? Because redditors are generally some of the most clued up people on the interwebs.
So, when Windows Phone moderators asked its subscribers why they chose a Windows Phone, we were understandably curious to hear the replies. Redditors answers gave both a fascinating insight into what makes Reddit such a great community and why Nokia Lumia is proving so popular.
roryok – Nokia Lumia 820
“I’d had two bad android experiences in a row and fancied a change. I’d heard a lot of good things about the simplicity of the OS and they all turned out to be true =)”
Skinbeater – Nokia Lumia 900
“Always liked Nokia. Wanted a tough and efficient smartphone.”
ad5555 – Nokia Lumia 800
“It was £115 for an L800, unlocked. I had android, got fed up of having to install 3000 apps just to customize it and make it look good. I also like the WP simplicity.”
tom6561 – Nokia Lumia 710
“Because iPhones were too expensive, cheap Android phones run like cr*p and I’ve always liked Nokia, and thought WP looked pretty and functional.”
zettajon – Nokia Lumia 925
“Office and Sharepoint integration, Nokia’s amazing cameras, and the UI.”
wojtekmaj – Nokia Lumia 820
“iPhones are expensive, Androids are too complicated to use and maintain; I love metro; I’ve been using Nokia since my childhood and so have my entire family so Lumia was an obvious next step.”
