Firstly, despite its low price and smooth performance, it had mediocre specs and a middling display, while customers were outraged when the incompatible Windows Phone 8 and the Lumia 920 supplanted it half a year later. This week, we’re asking you to play armchair Elop and tell us what you’d have done differently if they’d asked you.
