I am amazed of windows how it runs on sinhle core (1.5 ghz max) and it runs so fast and so smooth.and my optimus 3d has dual core and is so choppy.i am very curios of how windows will run on dual core processors.i would give away the widgets and the home screens and the themes any time to have a phone that smoot.im not a fan boy nor a guy that thinks this one is better then that one.butt onestly winfows is pretty amazing

                Anonymous, 05 Jun 2012Well, multi-core support is purely from a marketing point o... moreInefficient Android, you say? The OS where skype or angry birds cannot run if you have only 256 MB of ram is windows phone, not Android. The os where devices with 256 mb of ram are forced to use a version of the OS where some features have been stripped down is windows phone, not Android...

                  2x, 05 Jun 2012Yeah, right.. Don't compare your half baked Windows phone... morewhat u mean by functional? Functional android lots of malware and virus.
                  WP is much more Clean and functional OS than android. It run smooth and fast in even single core than those android with multi core.

                        botsok_triskelion, 05 Jun 2012Haha! Whats up Microsoft?! What have you done with Lu... moreyou do realise that windows phone isn't android right? have you even used a windows phone before? its ui design is minimal and doesn't require quad core processors and 1gb ram phones like android. Because if you have ever seen a speed test of a windows phone to a android the windows phone is always superior even if the specs are half as powerful as the android.

                              well , i really liked the Lumia 710 , but a specifications or should I say restrictions WINDOWS has set on it , is something I didnt like .

                              Windows is going the same path as Apple . Example : Dependence no ZUNE , restrictions on Blutooth Transfer . No modem connectivity . Apple is successful with Similar retrictins , Im not sure if the same would work with WONDOWS .

                              I hope they lift a few of those restrictions with this launch .
                              Thanks :-)

Don't compare your half baked Windows phone with a functional OS like Android, besides if it was up to people like you computers were still single core? Have you heard of evolution? Hipster

                                        I don't even know what to make of this. Are you dense? Do you even know what "Hipster" means? Do you know that a "Hipster" label is used on people who like current trends? If the person you were insulting was indeed a "Hipster" as you call him, then he would have a quad-core phone running your beloved Android version insert-random-dessert-name-here. Grow up.
