Reading WMPU/WPCentral on a daily basis, it seems to me that Nokia is the only one left around lol.
Yes and well no. At this point I mean HTC already released 2 versions of the Titan which are basically the same phone anyways. Samsung dropped 2 new versions of the Focus as well.
WTF else can you expect them to do at this point? The 2nd gen phones were already like 80% side upgrades as it is. Anything they'd release now would just be a different form factor.
Nokia just was behind since they partnered with MS for WP later than the others. So they are like 6 months behind HTC and Samsung in terms of current WP7.5 products. Once the 900 hits it'll be the same for Nokia as the rest. No point in releasing another phone as they'll have all of the market covered. Nothing else they could conceivably make.
So yeah until then as Brot would say it's "wait for Apollo" time for everyone.
On another note Apollo needs to get here fast. I finally got some experience this week with someone's Samsung Galaxy Nexus and holy shit. While ICS is a rather large step up from Ginger that really wasn't a wow factor. It was more the fact that OMFG@THATSCREEN! Probably similar to people getting the new iPad now. You wouldn't think it makes that much of a difference but gosh damn 1280x720 kills my GF's Android Phone and my Windows Phone.
Hell just give me that HTC One X releasing across carriers which is sort of like the Titan I/II with Apollo on it., and I'd buy that shit day 1.
I'm really going to be interesting to see what Apple does this year. Most of their customer base seems to love the current phone size, and the resolution the 4/4S has it already omg awesome for that size. Still I don't see Apple wanting to give up being tops in the resolution game with all of the 720p ICS phones hitting this year. I just don't see how they can beat 1280x720. Hell even matching that seems crazy if they are going to stick with the 3.5" screen. I'm just not sure if Apple really wants to change the actual screen size.
Fucccckkkk I really wanted to wait till this time in 2013 to get a new phone, but it's going to be hard to pass up a new phone this year if everyone is sporting 720p + resolutions on all the platforms. I know at the very least WP will make the jump along with Android even if I'm not totally sure wtf Apple will do. I don't really care about better inards other than just a bump to power a high res screen and keep the current Mango smoothness.
and will now waste time on my 100th playthrough of this gem
