I understand the need to dump wp7 and move on to wp8 in the microsoft world, but if apple can put ios4 on their 3g-4 phones I think MS should have found a way to neuter WP8 so all could have it. Just because its written for dual core does not mean it would not work on single core. It will be slower yes but should not be as bad as my 3g with 4.1xxx on it. That was just a original iphone with 3g cell. So putting an OS that was 2 generations newer on it was sketchy. More so since it was so weak hardware wise. My Titan should be able to run WP8 without much problem as I suspect some Single core variants of WP will come out.
Yeah the Optimus 7 was never made with WP7.5 in mind.
The back of the box boldly proclaim "1500 GREAT BATTERY LIFE!" and it had an amazing battery in Nodo. I could surf the web for hours and on normal casual use I could 2 whole days.
On Mango I can surf for 2 hours and the phone goes dead.
Strange. My battery got better with Mango, and really good with Tango. Only about 25% more surfing time but roughly a 150% improvement in standby time!
Mmm I had two Optimus 7 so far and both have awful battery life =(. The stanby is pretty good, is when I try to use the web.
Also my carrier is just arse, maybe it waste battery trying to connect to 3G a dozen times.
I wanna know what happens to me when, after six months or so after purchasing my Lumia 920, Nokia release something better. . .
Again, to be fair, there's a difference between a faster-spec phone being released later and what happened with the Lumia 900.
Imagine if, after buying a 920 in November, Microsoft announced in January that Windows Phone 8 development would end within three months with a change to the home screen and that Windows Phone 9 would require a whole new phone (and would run apps not compatible with WP8 on your 920).
That's closer to what irked 900 owners are thinking. I sorta feel guilty about it, since I recommended a LOT of 900s and Titan IIs on AT&T to people, several of whom feel a bit miffed (including partly at me). It makes me hesitate before recommending WP now.
Did u charge so many time when the Battery have not discharge fully?

Ask any iPhone 3gs owner about that and they'll tell you iOS 4 broke their phone.
I understand you're upset with current WP's not being upgraded to WP8, but all your hypotheticals, i.e., what-if scenarios, are getting a little ridiculous.
....His 920 What-if is actually spot on to what happened. My Titan came out a couple months after the 4s. I have had 0 updates. 4s was just updated to ios6 with no reduced capability compared to the ip5. My phone will not get an update. Apple claims the iphone5 cpu is twice as fast as the 4s. Amazing that they can still put ios6 on their slower devices but WP can not. Even though WP was always complimented for its ability to work smoothly on outdated hardware. Hopefully wp8 devices will get wp9 updates.
Now, I'm not going to pretend that I know every conversation that goes on in a phone store, but I'm pretty sure hardly anyone asks, "It's a nice phone, but can you assure me of software updates in the future?"
People who are interested in such things do their due diligence and research the device until the purchase is made.
Others are only interested in what the devices can do now.
You can't be so sure. At the same time, a user would probably assume that the carrier or OEM would keep them up to date as they should. So when their friends have a function they should have but they don't, it might draw a few questions. Might not. I don't see how ppl can act like what Nokia did was absolutely right.
Sent from my beast of a device.
I got my Lumia on april 16 and can't wait to upgrade. Either get a job so you can buy new phones when they come out, make sure you buy what you want in the first place so you aren't crying after an upgrade comes out later or do some bloody research before you buy a device in the first place. Unless you're 5 years old none of this whining makes sense.
