Nokia's (NYSE: NOK) new Lumia 920 smartphone with Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT) Windows operating system has a new, tech-savvy fan... and he's mega-rich to boot.
In a recent Reddit Q&A, billionaire Mark Cuban said he replaced his Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) iPhone 5 with a new Nokia windows phone. The Nokia Lumia is his second phone. He also has a Samsung 3. He said both are far superior to the iPhone.
"I have a MacBook Air, but am trying the new Acer with Windows 8. I really, really like Windows 8 on my phone. I have 2 phones. first is samsung the 2nd was an Iphone5. THe new Nokia with windows replaced my Iphone 5... both Samsung 3 w android and the windows phone kick the Iphone's ass. Its not even close."
Cuban is not entirely anti-Apple though. He said he loves his iPad and said his macbook air is "amazing when it doesn't crash." He may, however, replace his mackbook. He is testing out Acer with Windows 8 as a replacement.
