		mtgx on Jan 23, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Nokia posts disappointing Lumia sales But is it really an Android phone if it doesn't come with Play Store apps? Also, I think what people mean by wanting a Lumia with Android, is not a low-end phone with Android, but a more high-end one.

If it can run Android, I'll put Play Store apps on it, regardless of whether or not they come with the ROM. Granted, rooting a phone and putting a new ROM on it isn't exactly user friendly or easy for most people.
