    ManBug, 17 Jul 2012FALSE! offline turn by turn apps is available on play stor... moreagree agree agree...

    The MS fanboys here cannot accept the truth that their idol "Microsoft" screwed up Windows Phone users bigtime...

    Developing Windows Phone 8 in parallel or ahead of Windows Phone 7 and didn't give any upgrade path to Windows Phone 8 because it is expensive (also because the current windows phone 7 users, like me, will not PAY for the upgrades). The thing that irked most of the current WinPho users is that Windows Phone 7 was released so that MS will not lose their share of market... WTF

WP8 needs dual core or more, so do you think it is possible to update those single core Lumias? It's just the same thing with android regardless how old it is.

                                Add a built-in file explorer and Bluetooth file transfer, and WP is golden.

                                As I mentioned before these features existed in feature phones ten years ago.

                                      End of an Era, nokia has defaulted more on bad news than anything else. Wind 8 launch Qtr 4 will be way outdated than competetiors. Even market second hand no demand for Nokia's.

                                        LOL... android doesn't even have offline "turn by turn" guided navigation or true multitasking. Then there's the pathetic e-mail client, crappy mail for exchange support, no USB on the go mass storage capability out of the box (Symbian has had this for ages and there's a real good chance it'll be introduced with WP8).

                                        But hey, you can side-load pirated apps and dodgy ROM's.
