re: WC 100K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
It was mentioned previously. They made a mistake with the L930. Because of that, all other devices have to be put in lower end hardware. Let's hope this is the end of this nonsense and we just trash this year for WP. Let's hope next year is better.
I should get a signature for when I post on the T100 (which I'm doing now) but am just too lazy for this.
I don't think Nokia made a mistake with the 930. The mistake was made with the OS's slow development support.
MSFT took too long to add support quadcore processors. Hence the 1020 is still stuck with a great camera on older processor. MSFT too to long to add support for higher resolution screens. Remember, Nokia put out the 800 processor with the 1520, and only with the N5 and the Z Ultra, were one of the few who had that. Most people skipped the 800 and went for the 801 with the 4K recording. Remember the M7, and S4 ran on S600 processor. By the time MSFT did, hardware has moved on to the 801 processor and most importantly, 4K video recording. If MSFT was serious, the Icon/930 should have been a 801 processor with 4K recording. Then at least it would be a better upgrade.
I cannot completely knock the current hardware, because what we are seeing is standard stuff. Truth be told, WP is 6 months BEHIND on hardware and arguable 1 year behind software wise. But MSFT cannot catch up until they blow up their work environment and streamline things, which is what Nadella is trying to do.
More growing pains.
