Keep the change, HTC

At the recent Microsoft Windows Phone 8 launch event, Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer took to the stage, and praised all the latest Windows 8 devices. But the real story started post the event when it was time for the brands to market their devices more aggressively. 

The gloves are off and the brands standing at the two corners of the market ring waiting to take blows at each other. Punches have begun flying albeit subtly. On its official Facebook page, HTC has posted an image of the HTC 8X with a caption stating, “Don't get weighed down. The HTC 8X is more than 20 pennies lighter than that "other" Windows Phone.”

The caption is befuddling, but a second glance at the image of 20 pennies reveals that the '‘other phone'’ referring to as a 'heavy' handset is the Nokia Lumia 920. The weight of 20 pennies is exactly 50 grams. The Nokia Lumia 920 weighing 185 grams is approximately 52 grams heavier than the HTC 8X.

Anyways, in a social war that was taking place over these phones, the best answer that I found was "Keep the Change, HTC. You will need it soon"

So good to see some Microsoft-Nokia fans still out there in the wild.
