    Samsung Galaxy S4

    Microsoft has limited the display of WPs to 1280 x 768. I do not see where you are getting this from. How would it run like ____? My LG Expo, which was a Windows phone pre WP7, ran smooth as silk! I could manage anything and everything through file browsers, I had all kinds of different web...

    Samsung Galaxy S4

    Do not get me wrong, some of the software is "gimmicky" but I feel like this is merely a cop out for most people, to just say, oh well, I have WP, all that stuff is gimmicky, turn up nose. A lot of it is pretty neat, group sharing, S translator, etc. Not to mention the great hardware and...

    The ATIV S will never be released in the USA

    The ATIV S will never be released in the USA

    ATIV S - 6 weeks later.

    I am guess you have never used, or owned a Focus/Focus S? These things are perfectly ok with me, as the button positioning is the same, etc. So your cons are my pros, cant wait for this phone! ;-)

    7.8 success on Focus S?

    Finally got updated!! Turns out I had tried to update, and then canceled mid way before, thinking the application had hung up, and feared it would crash my phone. I reverted to my last backup, which 78er had taken earlier this month, and tried again with all languages, and wahlah!! Good to go!

    7.8 success on Focus S?

    The instructions by the creator of the 7eighter tool say to look in the keyboard section of settings. That is why we are going off of that.

    Either non native apps will crash on launch, or the live tiles for them will look funky.
