Dumbest Idea of 2012
That’s right, the first week of February is barely over and this is still the dumbest thing you will see in tech this year. As Microsoft scrambles for mobile relevancy and Nokia thrashes about trying to reinvent/save it’s dying self, the two have collaborated to bring you this spectacular Valentine’s Day deal: a Windows phone, speakers and a headset for the bargain basement price of - drum roll please - $900! Um…what?

I’m remembering those commercials where “customers” went into electronic stores looking for cheap laptops and spent like $500 to get a Windows laptop vs. a Mac. I know the Lumia is unlocked and whatever, but a brand new unlocked iPhone is STILL several hundred dollars less…
You just can’t make this stuff up.
