This thread has mutated from a 'what do you think is realistically comming' to the millionth 'what do you want' thread.
 
Realistic Prediction? A brilliant update, brought down to a crappy one because of carriers. That is if I even get the update which probably wont happen within a year of release because that seems to be the theme so far.
 
I'm tired of having to use a third party app for that. Teleportation should be a baked in feature. I mean, they achieved wireless charging - how difficult can teleportation be?

Exactly. Android has native apps for teleportation. That's why we can't get over 4-5%.
 
I think that the same things that most of you mention will come in wp 8.1, but I hope for wireless mirroring and the ability to do more with nfc like turn on and off WIFI not only go to the WIFI menu.
 
I hope WP 8.1 is an exact copy of Android, so I don't have to listen to all the whining about missing features or a ******* Notification Centre.....

lol! , that would be nice. Really made me eagerly waiting for update :p
 
You can call me pessimist, but I think we will receive a little in this update. And it won't happened till the end of 2014. It took more that 3 years for MS to bring WP to current state, why do you think they will be able to make more on less time? This is Microsoft! :)
