      The shame here is Lumia 800 and Lumia 900 won't be getting this, but only the slightly revamped WP 7.8 instead. Starting with the left foot, Nokiasoft dropped support almost completely for previous gen flagship devices. Let's hope that won't happen again in the next major iteration of WP, or they won't be making business for long.

                    Nokia Windows Phone like Lumia will get whatever features coming with Windows Phone 8, Nokia Symbian phones run on single core and does alot of functions with just that single core.

                        If I don't get an update for Nokia Lumia 800, then I'll switch to SGS3 or iPhone 5 in future. I hope Nokia & Microsoft make it happen to bring update to Lumia's devices.
