Nobody should contemplate buying a WP7 phone when it will be
obsoleted in just a few months. I am pretty sure the WP8
software will be entirely different, and will not be able to
run on the WP7 phones. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Actually, the "killer feature" of the iPhone for me is, the carrier
does not control the iOS software load. I get my iOS updates directly from
Apple, and Telus just has to sit back and like it.
With my previous phones, (A couple of Samsung "dumbphones" and a
Motorola "why did I get that stupid thing" KRZR featurephone) there
were always lovely things in the advertising and on the vendor's site that,
somehow, never existed on mine... because I wasn't running Samsung or Motorola's
software load, I had Bell Canada's.
Guess who would never bother to provide updates for anything? Right, Bell
Canada. In fact, it was so bad that something that should have been
software-solvable resulted in Bell replacing a handset under warranty with a
different model. It's their money, but it was sure my time going to the store
over and over with the same fault. (Dialling out with the "flip"
closed.)
I want network operators to just operate the network. Stay out of my hardware
and software.

> WP8 and W8 will be the next step
While it has been said that Nokia will have W8 tablets out before year end and
that Apollo, the 'Superphone' OS, will be the same timescale there is no
indication that Apollo will be based on Windows8 or WOA, nor that it will be
WP8.
Of course it may be _called_ WP8 even if it is just WP7 remade.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
