The fuck.
8 was too little anyhow. It needs to be as much as the hardware allows.
So like nine.
e: Oops those probably wont get it.

What? Where does it say that. I thought that was only the pre orders =/Sucks that the 900 is only launching in black with Rogers. I guess that means I can wait a bit longer. Also why is the 800 only available in black at Best Buy and Future Shop??
so here is what I want to know...Windows Phones 1st, 2nd gen and Windows Phone 8. Any hope for upgrades?
Yes, all current Windows Phones will receive a subset of Apollo. The carriers are the primary obstacle in the US. I hear Microsoft is pushing hard for a Mango-like delivery schedule, as are Nokia & HTC.
Some Apollo features will be exclusive to the 3rd-gen devices expected to be released this fall on the MSM8960 platform.

One more if possible...is it safe to assume major carriers (ahem, AT&T) will continue to pass on the minor updates to WP7 (8107 for example) and only do the major ones, like Tango..er Windows Phone 7.5 Refresh...
Yes. And the Tango situation is muddy at best. It helps to be Apple when you find yourself in this sort of stuff.

Are there metrics when MS will dump WP7 (eg consistently low market penetration for 5 years, 2 good non-nokia OEM devices per year) or will they be in it, no matter what it costs?
In it no matter what it costs. That said, expect to see more cross-platform services, especially for iOS.

Will Microsoft put a ring on it and marry Nokia?
No, it will remain a civil union.

do you think windows phone will soon become part of the windows group?
The orgs are separate, but well-connected. If you mean Sinofsky, well it already kinda has.

are there any plans of making the WP more "open" in Apollo? Like enabling USB connection, using it with Linux, more personnalisation (setting default apps)? Do you have any information on this? What is Nokia's role in designing the WP8?
Yes. For instance, WP becomes a "true Microsoft platform", like the Xbox & WoA(8) & you'll see Windows Phone Companion in lieu of Zune desktop client.
Nokia's role is in defining chipset support (beyond Qualcomm), designing the camera-to-software interaction model, antenna & battery design, languages & regional services, etc.

Can you talk about windows phone and where you see the platform going? Integration with windows 8?
The platform has a downward (spec/cost-wise) pull from Nokia & an upward pull from the Windows org. Capability-wise, it will be as good as iOS & Android, give or take some by-design differences, from the end of this year onward. Market-share wise, optimistically achieving 20% at its peak. Pessimist view: 10%.
Integration with Bing, Office, Windows & Xbox will be the best Microsoft has ever done in that respect to date. In other words, nowhere near as good as how Apple does things.
A lot of that(entire thing, not just phone stuff) reads like someone who has either heard or read various rumors and puts their own opinion on it.
A lot of bullshit mixed in with sporadic truths.
MS Nerd is a legit source, according to Mary Jo Foley.
I don't doubt that some of the info is legit from time to time. I also don't doubt that there is a lot of bullshit mixed in with the actual scoops, plenty of evidence of that out there.

Are you saying that you're in the position to confirm or deny anything he said?
When I save an image in IE, where does it go in my phone?
What? Where does it say that. I thought that was only the pre orders =/
can't say for sure what will come in the future. For now, we'll have the 900 in black
Angry Birds Space is pretty fun. How are you guys liking it so far?

At least troll with a genuine game like Chaos Rings or something.
You're clearly a much more hardcore phone gamer than I am. I'm super-casual, the phone games I like to play these days are Cut the Rope and Words With Friends.
Lol, oh wow. Too bad stumpakow no longer posts here. This shit is so blatant its just sad to see.
An android fanboy trolling about games? I'm surprised you guys didn't shoot that down quickly.
Got a new toy at work today. First time using a WP7 device, but so far it is really nice....

I don't think I would put a case on a lumia, would ruin the look imo.
A 900???? So jealous. Moar pics and impressions.
Awesome...details!!!!
did it come with a case? also how did you get it, I WANT IT NOW.

This is my first WP7 device, so I'm still figuring things out. What does everyone want to know? I'll do my best to provide details.
No, didn't come with a case. It's just the stock cyan soft touch material for the case. I work in Finance with AT&T, and my office is at a COR store, so I usually get to see all the new stuff when it comes in. They got two of these in today for Rep demos, so I'm going to borrow one for a week or so.
How does the size of the device feel? One of my concerns is that it may be just a bit too big for my liking.
i think people just wanna know the release date. oh that reminds me. what version of WP7 does the 900 ship with? also is at&t also launching a white one?
I'm having a few weird issues with my Omnia 7, it randomly deletes all of my IE bookmarks (except 'Popular Sites' and 'Tips for Windows Phone') and twice now I've had it charging overnight and in the morning my battery has only been at 15% :/
Is my phone dying?

You can barely see the Lumia 800 cases when they are on, they fit so well, should be the same for the 900.
