.... aaaaaaaaand just like that, the rumor is dead... :straight:
I think MS would beg to differ as the data compression in WP8 is supposed to give you something like 30% compression. It's a feature I haven't really seen discussed anywhere since the presentation, and to the best of my knowledge, neither Apple or Google offer it natively. This may in fact turn out to be a dark horse "killer app" for WP8.Well, datapackages are growing and roaming fees are decreasing. Compressed data is not as important as earlier.
But RIM did make fantastic hardware, and for a while I was crazy about the OS as well. It was like Symbian all grown up and the only thing that was missing was the apps.
I would like to see them survive this in some form, but not at the price of WP. My affection for WP has grown to much.

If only we could get Opera browsers on WP7.Completely agree.
As a regular on the Windows Phone Suggestion page, i'm forever seeing people from countries like India asking for data compression, and tools to monitor their data usage, as the fees as huge.
Lets also not forget, if you are sending less data, surely your surfing will be faster.
I'd love to have Opera, Firefox and Chrome browsers.If only we could get Opera browsers on WP7.
