    Anonymous, 17 Dec 2012"and cannot run with other than dual core"...cute... moreHe ment that wp8 can't run on single core. It requires dual core krait. Weird eh, my Xperia Pro was running very well on single core scorpion at 1ghz. Now that's what I call a flexible OS, runs well on both single and dual and quad, and does so on any resolution, including 2560x1600.

      AnonD-79514, 17 Dec 2012yes dear liar, did you ever saw even a review of them or ju... moreu gotta be kidding me when u say windows is laggy and seriously u r just flattering Android while saying that windows run only on a dual core . yup its true android is way better with apps but look at how much of a space and heft it causes to a phone on the other hand windows runs as smoothly on a dual core against android which provides same smoothness for a cost of a quadcore which suck the battery like hell. android may be very good but in no case u can say windows doesn't stand a chance against it.

                Nokia may be finding themselves on another burning platform in the North Sea if this is true. WP8 was released just weeks ago and WP9 is far far away. It's not gonna be possible to launch a flagship at less than full HD in 2013 so let's hope MS is working on a patch already if it's possible to patch it. Then again, Nokia is probably happy selling only a million flagship phones off each generation, lumia 900 didn't even sell that many =)

                  [deleted post]yes dear liar, did you ever saw even a review of them or just paid by microsoft!??even gsmarena called jellybean as bread and butter! in your dreams it is very laggy of course ! lol! your wp8 reboots by itself , has no multitasking with true functionality like android , has no apps, is very closed and limited and so on! and cannot run with other than dual core because it is very heavy because of no reason and it is not at all power efficient while android phones even sony midranges are far better! test xperia t vs your lumia whatever it is and you will see the same smoothness! ( xperia t or optimus g or nexus 4 are far higher than any phone ever)

They should let momentum gather, and... moreyou made me laugh! joke of the day mr salesman?? go defend your microsoft in any other blog where people do not know the meaning of technology! midrange and low cost high end droids ( as nexus 4) already killed wp8 in every aspect however i will be happy if wp8 kills useless bb10 and ios 6!!

                          Wow, Microsoft just nailed their coffin. Seriously, their 'flagships' will be equal to Android lower mid ends in 2013, and I mean it literally.

                            Probably a smart move. They should let momentum gather, and let WP8 get stronger before taking risks on uncertain models. HTC doing so far with WP8 sales.

                              That's like giving an unfair advantage to Android...
                              Good job Microsoft, you just nailed your coffin!
