You got it! I’ll wait until they get something that works.
Attention all of you who purchased a Windows Phone... You’ve been part of the biggest beta test in the history of mobile phones.
Please go back to the store and demand a real phone.
Extremely surprised that Microsoft didn’t create some kind of app adaptor.
Maybe private firms will.
LMAO.
I’ve known for at least a year that this current crop of phones would not be upgradeable. So I bought my Nokia 710 outright, rather than use my upgrade option. It’s not as though Microsoft has been dishonest about it. Both Nokia and Microsoft have both been honest about the Windows 7.5 not really representing what they plan to do with mobile. I will upgrade to 7.8 when it comes out and sometime next year, when I’ve had my phone for a year, I will then jump on Windows 8.
What I hope is that I will be able to download media and save it, so I can use it offline.
The Apple killer! NOT!
WP8 failed because most people want icons with more than 2 colors.
They had Windows Mobile and it died. They had "plays for sure" music and killed that service. Then they had Zune which is dead. They had Windows Phone 7 and it's been obsoleted right away.
Their offerings lack stability and credibility in any space that isn't the PC space.
I hope Windows Phone 8 fails. I hope Microsoft do not buy RIM or Nokia.
Hey Dennis, weren’t you saying Windows 7 Phone was so great and it would knock Apple off their perch? Guess what, it’s dead. Microsoft decided to follow Apple yet again and use the same base OS for desktop and mobile. So Windows 7 Phone is an orphan. With 8 coming out its app store will dwindle since developers know there will be no future for their apps. Those who trusted Microsoft to put out a competitive, long-term mobile platform are yet again screwed.
Seems that the only smart phone company you can expect any long-term OS support from is Apple. So far every phone has been able to upgrade to the latest OS for at least three years after release, at least a year after sales ended. Androids have been very bad with this, often never even catching up to the latest version of the OS (and often when they do finally catch up, it’s short-lived as the next version is released soon after). And now we see what happens to Windows phones.
