Forbes says this happened for “no obvious new reason”, since Nokia’s been struggling lately to succeed with Windows Phone smartphones in a market that’s dominated by Android and Apple’s iPhone.

Rachio 3 The Rachio 3 unit is very unassuming. It’s much smaller than the old-fashioned type controllers, and there’s just an unobtrusive dial on the left side, and color LED across the middle. While you can manually control some functions from the unit, that’s not the purpose of the system. The Rachio 3 unit replaces your current controller, which is probably the old-fashioned type that uses a dial and buttons with a small LCD....

You didn’t sign up to donate money. You purchased credit.
