Any thoughts on new WP8.1 devices?

Quick mock-up of what I think a HTC WP8.1 phone would look like.


So, what phone(s) are you wishing for?

I'm a fan of htc hardware and like the looks of their devices. If it wasn't for the support from Nokia I would've bought a htc device. But, until something like the mock up I've made is available in the market I doubt I'll ever switch to htc. I'll work on a Nokia Mock-up and post it here soon..

Edit: Here's the Nokia render

I would love to see a SONY WP device similar to the Z1 with improvements like the rumour Z2 with dual speakers.

Can't imagine phones with no bezel to work well. Your hand might touch the side of the screen when you hold. They look great though.

Yeah, i agree! Definitely needs a bezel. I think curved phones such as the 920 could get away with thinner or no bezels.

Like your work ups.

I love the way HTC devices are put together. But I have had nothing but bad experinces with them. Unfortunatly, my wife and I have crossed them off our list of manufacturers. The Lumia line and a top end Sammy WP 8.1, depending on specs, screen size and if MS keeps Nokia exclusives to their line or if they open them up to get other OEMs onboard. Really a ton of "what if"s this time around.

Any thoughts on what type of camera will be likely going forward? The 1520 and the Icon are using 20mp. Will this likely be the upper end default? Will there eventually (maybe) be another one off 41mp 1020 upgrade?
