All signs point to Marketshare being more important for now. Profitability will come later.Is Microsoft after marketshare or huge profitability?

I don't recall any version of android removing major functionality that was recently introduced.
I'm a little confused why they would even bother with addressing a device with 256MB of ram, I refuse to believe it's cost oriented for assembly lines. It would literally be cents to push up to the next ram slot, but I guess with licensing costs accounted for, every corner makes sense to cut.
While one rep stuck to the party line, saying there was no information to release for public consumption, another said second generation handsets, like the HTC Radar and Nokia Lumia handsets will definitely get the update, and that first generation handsets “in some form” will probably get the update, but not with all features, such as video calling for example using Skype.
Just in time for Galaxy S3.
That example doesn't make any sense as then only the Lumia 900 would get a full version of WP8 since it has a FFC.
Titan, Titan 2, and Focus S should also qualify.
I don't understand how a phone won't get Apollo if it lacks a FFC.
Just do something like on the startup of the program.
if hardware.FFC == true
chat.video = true
All of the phones should get it if it's just a kernel. Author chose a terrible example.
I don't think you're interpreting it correctly. It doesn't say that phones with no FFC wouldn't be getting it. Hell, phones with and without FFC have Mango, right?

hey guys, i hope someone knows about this:
the headset that came with my omnia 7 is broken, that only the left earplug works. i searched for a new one on amazon but they only offer replacements with only 2 buttons and it seems that some headsets simply dont support all the functionality (make/end calls, volume regulation, skip tracks by double tapping) the original headset has.
do you know which headset works perfectly fine with omnia 7?
no one?
Anyone see this? http://wmpoweruser.com/nokia-snow-a-nice-looking-concept-windows-phone/
Pretty cool, even though it's a concept phone. I'd like to see something along its design.
If my Focus gets Apollo, and just can't use some of the obvious features because like well my phone doesn't have a FFC that's totally fine. That might allow me to fulfill my wishes of waiting till 2013 to really upgrade my phone.
Never really experienced that myself. But that depends on the site you are visiting I guess. On the graphics load.Played with my brothers Lumia 800 today.
Wonderful looking device in cyan colour but I noticed when in the browser the pinch to zoom gesture seemed to stutter when performed :\ anyone else experienced this?

Only get this if I don't let the page to load fully or if I'm looking through GAF and the thread has a bunch of GIFs. Then things like scrolling slowdown.
So, I've finally convinced myself I can use Mango as my daily driver. What about hardware? Nokia is the only Windows Phone manufacturer who's bet the farm on the platform, and its hardware shows — every device from Samsung and LG has been either forgettable, a rehash of an Android product, or both. HTC's been a little better, but they're not at Nokia's level on the Windows Phone side (and considering the circumstances, I can't blame them). But that Lumia 800... my goodness. That design! I don't think it's a stretch to say that the N9 / Lumia 800 chassis could go down as most beautiful device Nokia has ever made. In fact, I think you could say that it — along with the iPhone 4 / 4S — is the best phone design in history. That's not an exaggeration.
But then, Nokia... then you scale it up to a more reasonable and modern 4.3 inches, add a front-facing camera, and give it LTE. You offer it in your amazing shade of searing, unapologetic cyan, and you sell it in the US on AT&T. It's like you've personally made a bespoke phone for me.
I like how the verge calls every other phone rehashes, and not the N9...er Lumina 800...er Lumina 900.
They do, on multiple occasions.
e: Oh, it's you. nvm then.

The Verge "This is my next" Lumia 900:
With the possibility of Apollo coming to current gen devices, I'm so close to jumping on the 900 (when it comes out).
Any idea when we're going to be getting more apollo news? Or new information about the upcoming phones?
No clue. Right now we don't even have all the news regarding Tango.
I'm still debating whether I sell my Titan for a 900 or keep it till a Nokia Apollo device comes out. Maybe by that time I'll see LTE on AT&T in Pittsburgh.
I don't know, that tablet looks dead sexy but holding it horizontally would be...difficult. Tablets need that bezel, otherwise you'll have nothing to hold onto.

Rumor has it that Nokia has their W8 tablet coming in Q4 2012.

Anyone else ever get burn in on there screen? I got a Focus and I can see the mail tile and the outline of other tiles. I actually have a warranty for the phone, wonder if screen burn in is covered?
OG Focus. I should try and take a picture of it. This could be nice timing actually. Best Buy is supposed to give you a new phone on the spot, could give me an easy way to upgrade to the 900.
good luck with that. What warranty did you get? I think the best you can get is the black tie one, and that you get to "borrow" a phone for $50 while you wait for a refurb to come back in 3-5 days.
It is product replacement plan through Best Buy. If it can't be fixed in the store I believe they are supposed to give me a new Focus. I have read of people paying the difference for a newer phone. I'm not going to try until the 900 is in stock though.
When I check my mail I can totally see the ghosts of tiles and the mail icon.
