      Anonymous, 21 Jul 2012What about S2 Galaxy Note? Still beating your Lumia in batt... moreMan number of cores doesnt really matter. Lumia phones has a single core but it beats android phone when it comes to interface. this android OS require higher number of core but still after installing a few apps it results to slowdown of their phone. Many of this android user claim this issue.

                      Educate and do your research guys. Windows Phone 8 will now be the best mobile OS. It will be based on the same windows NT kernel as Windows 8 desktop OS. It will be the best platform for businesses as it will offer tons of corporate tools and functions absent from other OSes. WP8 will be the best OS for mobile gaming as it will emulate PC-quality video games with realistic 3D worlds, and support for different gaming developments. Windows Phone 8 will offer interoperability and interconnectivity with Windows desktop and other Microsoft devices. Windows Phone 8 is just so advanced that it will be the epitome of a slick and modern OS.

                          TDMaster, 21 Jul 2012do u really think that WP8 will give u "Windows" ... moreWhat restrictions will there be on WP8? Mass storage and Bluetooth FTP will already enabled. WP8 will basically have the same functions as any other OSes like Symbian and Android.

                            AnonD-58835, 21 Jul 2012WP8 is another extremely bad phone, there will be no sales ... moreSymbian is a primitive, slow and pain-in-the-ass OS. Windows Phone 8 is an advanced and futuristic OS. They disparity between them is just so great. If you want t go back to last decade's dated technology, stick with your Symbian phone. Windows Phone 8 is the future. It's fast, slick and offers advanced functions, and interconnectivity with other futuristic devices as well.

                                i want to watch nokia make many phone models, i want to watch them exhausting their resources.
                                people aren't considering nokia anymore coz their features sucks and they sell their units at an expensive price..

                                NOKIA'S PHONE AND FEATURES IS NOT PROPORTIONAL TO THEIR PRICE, THAT'S IT!!!

                                its just too expensive for the phone that sucks and useless!!!

                                    I would like to take this time and thank Elop
                                    for believing in Windows Phone.

                                    I bough lumia 800 and 900 to show my support.
                                    I never wanted to up grade to WP8 anyway, sure many people are happy to help out Nokia in hardware sales with a new phone.

                                    Thankyou can't wait to buy two models in Sept, hope others will join me in buying at least two to prove this is what is best for us and Nokia's Future.

                                    Thankyou again Elop, Loyal Nokia Widnows fan

                                        Yeah extra row of icons seems to be about it. Once you get past that home screen (which is interesting for about 10 minutes) it's the same old boring Windows system although I do hear they are adding new and better office applications !!
                                        Wow there's nothing as exciting as office applications on my mobile. Wow I bet I can even make my own pie chart !! Let the good times roll !!
