    Anyone who had the previous version and did the upgrade can you give us views on the changes..Especially the battery I read on WP central some forum guys say it doubled to tripled the battery and the phone doesn't get hot anymore.

                    WP8 is a young OS and becomes better and better, Android and IOS are soooo booooring these days. You should use WP8 first and then comment.

                        Nokia will die, because its CEO Elop worked for Ballmer in Microsoft. Elop is a saboteur and traitor. If not him, Nokia could use Android long time ago.

                            Wow, disconnecting from Wi-Fi when screen was off, not being able to reject a call with SMS(had this on SGS 1!!!). Windows Phone was the most primitive phone OS! Now those are fixed, but how about the "Other" space memory leak (filing the phone internal memory over time)?

                              Portico is coming preloaded in India. Also 7.8 update is available at Nokia care for all existing Lumias

If Nokia choose Android AND WP8 they could make everyone happy and would probably easily be the number 1 company bigger than Apple and Samsung...!

                                        Nokia is digging its own grave for solely depending on WP8. Basic features like that should be available on day 1.

                                        Nokia should adopt another OS. Android or Meego. WP is losing its charm (there isn't much to start with) as time goes.
