Engadget - Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia is now bearing fruit, but as often happens when big companies merge, there aren't enough jobs to go around. More than 10,000 former Nokia employees are due to be laid off by the end of the year, but their legacy will live on for a time in the Lumia 930: one of the last all-Nokia creations. If you live in the UK, then you already know where to get the flagship Windows Phone, but the more important question is whether you want one. We've already taken a deep dive on the 930 in our review of the Lumia Icon, which is essentially the same phone, just exclusive to Verizon in the US. Let's revisit the good, the bad and the competition.

As a result, we’ll give you our top phones of the year, the real stand out performers, sellers and jet setters, that have undoubtedly been the most important and exciting releases of the year."
I think Xiaomi's phones could've made the list given their overall success in China.
And India..you don't forget phones selling out in 6 seconds not once not twice not thrice but more than 10 times now.
Pocket Lint - There's now competition in Windows Phone. Where Nokia (as it was) ruled, there's a new challenger, in the body of one of the best Android phones around.
The launch of the HTC One (M8) for Windows marks the first time a flagship device has been available with a choice of mobile OS and for Windows Phone, this is exciting times.
But with both devices hitting shelves going head-to-head. The Lumia 930 is available now, the HTC One (M8) for Windows has just been announced, exclusive to Verizon from tomorrow. Here we're calling out the differences.
