Rofl....... Lumia 520 beats nexus 4 and s3 in sunshine and browser mark...... What a shame.... Imagine what wp8 will do with quad core... It will be total annihilation of android as far as benchmarks go.

Just give me one phone.... And you are telling that it will be obsolete in 1yr dude budget android are outdated at the time if release only....

In order to do that, it will need for sure to have at least 1GB of RAM available(for the RT apps). I don't trust MS promises, see what happened with Skype, and how soon (and well) they provided the WP7.8 update.

I fear you didn't.
Here is what GSMArena said
"In this price range, you can't get a perfectly smooth Android smartphone, so the light-on-the-hardware Windows Phone 8 is really made to count."

But I dont know about the app compability. Maybe the next WP will include apps which only support 1 MB RAM minimum.
But you will get MS support until maybe the next 1 generation of WP.

Does anyone know if a phone with 512mb RAM (lumia 520,620,720)can be upgraded to future Windows Mobile OS? To me, its the only thing keeping me away from buying this phone. I dont want a phone with outdated OS within just 6 months of buying it.
