        I dont know why ppl these days are fixated over no of cores.If your phone and apps work smooth with one core and reasonable frequency; its a good sign that your phone and os are optimized,saves your battery and phone's life.More is not better everytime.

            so I thnk its good to change my phone frm android to wp at the end of this year.

            but its awesome if sony starts to make wp based handsets. otherwise nokia is best at this time in wp phones.

                I'll give a chance for Apollo. WP + Android sound seemingly stunning!

                  AnonD-2663, 28 Dec 2011What's more, you buy one of these "super phones" ... more"More than 12 months" not sure, but OTAs are certainly for real, unlike about all androids which are non-google !

                    why did they reveal this roadmap?

                    even if i'm a risk taker and willing to try windows phone
                    despite knowing it's way behind. (screen tech, CPU, GPU apps)

                    i will not buy after looking at this road map.

                    in simple words, this roadmap kindda screams
                    "current windows phone are crap and lack lots of feature, we need you to buy this to fund our research to make better version of them to compete with last year device(android&iOS)"

                    why spend money to fund their "experiment" to make the better version? better spend it on something proven like galaxy S2, galaxy nexus or note. or iphone4s. they are well established.

                    current window phone like the lumia will have the same fate as 5800, the first gen experimental phone. symbian s60v5, soon to be obsolete once symbian 3 arrive.

                    on old android froyo, and gingerbread, they work great despite being older.
                    iOS4 is good as well.

                    this wp still long way to go. dont really see a bright future for it.

                        What's more, you buy one of these "super phones" and feel comfortable that Microsoft will offer update support for longer than 12 months

                                    even the Chinese manufacturer meizu will have a quad core phone coming out in may next year, and Microsoft is still 'talking' about adding multi core support? Really? Bad luck Nokia:-(
