    Well existing devices will get 7.8 which should bring pretty much all of the software enhancements which is good. App comparability maybe ab issue but nobody seems to mind when the same happens with android so..

    Looks a good update though.
  2. Must say I quite like WM8. An interesting concept for mobile devices (as it is on the desktop) as opposed to boring static icons as seen on other devices.

    WP8 apps (games) can use DirectX, dont think that will be available on WP7.8.

    But its better than nothing
  4. Well, you'd walk around like a boss with this, but I wouldn't trust it.

    That's right. It does happen in Android too, but as I said, the Lumia buyers got effed here.
    I have a GS II, a year old device, I easily updated it to Android 4.0 and have no compatibility issues.
    The original GS, a 2 year old deivce, got something similar to 7.8 for WP, it got an Android 2.3 with some ICS features. But it still has no app compatibility issues as it's all backwards compatible. There are also Cyanogen based Android 4.0 releases, so no problem there either.

    Other WP devices are old and it's not unexpected for them to become obsolete, even tho they are not as old as some Android devices working today.
    But the Lumia? It hasn't even been half a year! It's not fair for them to be cut off.

    And Sergio: Whoever made that had a point!!
  6. I don't think many Lumia users will notice. My girlfriend has an 800 and is chuffed that she will get resizable tiles etc. Microsoft haven't played it right though, that much is clear. Future developments of the platform were kept way too vague. The platform should have launched with Mango originally then progressed from there. We can only sit and watch to see where it takes us. Im still more likely to go with ios than either stick with Android or go back to WP.

    The Defy is still holding up well on stock Froyo (who needs ICS?) with only a few niggles. Android still nothing special imo.
  7. Depends how close 7.8 to 8 is. The core will be as different as things can differ, but only thing that really matters is the GUI and the APIs for devvers. As long they are consistent its no biggy.
  8. And quite some Nokia apps will be coming these weeks. Still wished that WP8 wouldve come from a dev point of view. Nice to play with new stuff.
  10. I've asked it on the Photo thread as well, but it actually belongs here so here I go:

    Does the SD-card class really matter? I mean, everyone raves about their class 6 or class 10 cards, but I've never worried about it and I've been fine for years. Does anyone care to explain to me why should I spend the double on a class 10 instead of my old, resilient class-X (it doesn't even specificate) that's worked fine for years?
  11. If it works then it works.
