    Do not hate WP8 dude, it has opened doors to endless possibilities and will only benefit you and rest of consumers. Why do you want to hate something that is to benefit you?

      Operating system market leader is like
      a result of an election.
      people buy or vote whom they liked.
      winner will be only one.
      respect them.
      even if you dont like result you had to accept it.
      Respect majority.
      android is winner,
      if you dont liked android,
      then asked yourself why.
      if you know the reson for hate,
      then SHUT THE FK UP.
      CAUSE,
      you had to respect the winner.

WP8 will have that same PC core of Windows 8 unlike WP7 is based on the ancient Windows CE. WP8 will bring easy software updates, DirectX games, free Microsoft Office and Bitlocker/Secure Boot. Apps will grow very fast with Windows Phone 8 because of native code for porting apps from iOS, Android, desktops, laptops, tablets to WP8.

                so these FANDROIDS who were posting comments are all teenagers because they claim that Android's for teenagers. haha what a funny statement. but actually i quite see a lot of teenagers using an iPhone instead of Adroid. so i guess these FANDROIDS are indeed immatures as they don't know what they were talking about and keep on bashing WP8 as if it was already released.

                      Android and iOS aren't better than a new version of this. Don't even talk about Symbian, it has no new apps. Nokia knows Symbian can't compete anymore and they don't want to put too much work on new OS that might not have developers support. Windows Phone 8 is a good choice for them.

                            Im currently running a lumia 800 along side my HTC one x, and really want to like the lumia, but its the little things. Poor sound volumes when in calls and when the handset rings are a big one. sounds petty, but its important. Poor processing power, fair enough, runs the os no problem, but not much else really. Nothing special. Nokia really need to improve quick as even the hardware isnt up to scratch... supposedly a strong point

                              Well, there is no point. It is just going to get smashed by the iphone. Obviously, because the iphone is the best phone on the market. hands down. I would rather even have android than Windows Phone. As it is pants!

                                    android is for kids iphone for snoobs and i really need a good OS that is simple and smotth to use with all de functions u might think off existing in todays smartphones, working on good hardware just like those 2 have, nokia has the hardware (and goodlooking to IMO) and WP just needs a litlle polished here and there.
                                    I just hope more and more ppl decide to leave the ios/droid gangbang and start looking for a real mature hi-tech OS, WP might be the anwser if they get it right ...
