        I bought my Lumia 800 about three months ago and I'm happy with it.
        I never expected it to get WP8.
        WP Mango is fast, smooth and it never hangs, and that's all I care about!
        I've got all the apps. I need and the phone does what I want.

        I just want a mass storage mode and a file manager.

                    i look at this way. if apple were so good. how come they cant even tell the truth. we have a iphone 5 coming. it this this this. and guess what still no launch. iphone 5 coming out. out comes the 4s. iphone 5 coming june or september. or dcember.

                    or just an i-myth. so all the i-sheep can only dream at least when microsoft/nokia say they are launching a product it actually comes out.

                      Ohh come on, stop crying be happy that you get new skin and many more functions. And if you think that Microsoft should update your phone to wp8 tell us how exactly they should do it. To come at your home and change your processor or what?
                      Google also announced ics but only few phones got update, so why people aren't crying about that?

                          every costumer who spent $650 on a mobile phone will expect at least 3yrs of service from the company including software update.., many of my friends bought nokia lumia 900 with the hope of upgrading to windows 8, they feel cheated now.., i think micro soft should have announced b4 6 months that no current phone will be upgraded to windows 8 but 7.8, they hide the facts and cheated the customers, only fools will say its enough for $650 nokia lumia 900 will stuck with windows 7.8 within one month..... these fools will change to ios or android after beaten by microsoft, or they will say windows is boring, they are not customers they are fools can be fooled by anyone...

                            Well I got a lumia 800 and I was really happy with quality and features. But I got to know that lumia 800 will not get Window 8 update, which is bad. If Nokia can not ensure latest OS in flagship models of one older generation then Nokia cant run things well. Also, it seems Nokia has done pretty bad for itself by picking Microsoft OS. They are unable to singly produce devices like Samsung and HTC does. They have huge reliance on Microsoft now.

                              cyber, 21 Jun 2012to all windows phone lovers, you will get upgrade to wp 8 b... moreNo, as a matter of fact they won't get upgraded to WP8, ever.
                              But WP7.5 is much superior to the Android patchwork of an OS that they are lucky to keep using their smooth running WP7.5 devices.

                              The most high-end Android phone makes you feel like you are living in the Windows Mobile era.

                                        They continue to support them long time.
                                        5800 xpress music phone got updated till 2011 from nokia and same with WP8 or WP 7.5

                                        How can u get complete WP8 update btw ?
                                        it doesnt have sd-slot , NFC , Multicores etc.

                                        I think they will give small updates which keep users happy , but its not like "outdated" because they perform so much better , iOS 6 in 3GS is partial update while iOS 5 gave almost full update but iOS 6 is limited update.

                                        Partial update is better and also there is no chance to get update as hardware of current devices is limited.

                                        How can they update if WP8 is built for multicores instead of single core architecture ? and remember that WP 7.5 is lot better than mid range Android devices (not high-end) and anyone will say the same but calling them outdated is little harsh.
