Good news! Should be continuing with new phones coming out in Europe and Nokia World coming soon. Ad campaigns kicking in. Hopefully Mango updates finished within the next couple of weeks or sooner!

I am looking forward to Windows 8 and a unified platform across devices. Nobody can ignore that.

and after all ud still complain of the multitasking. I still want u to provide a source.

I might, if Windows 8 does not improve its multitasking to allow users to reorder the apps. It works really well if you only have two apps open, but not so much if you have 10 of them and want number 3 and number 7 to be side by side.

Another thing yet to be seen is how Windows is going to adapt to life on a portable device with limited resource. Unlike wp7, Windows has true multitasking. However, it's also bloated. How to keep true multitasking without impact system performance will be a great challenge for Microsoft.

Excellent article. Glad to see the word is getting out.

That guy doesnt look happy, WP7 must have made a very good impression on him.

it was already demonstrated that even the windows 8 betas were running smoother and taking up less resources than wp7 on a 1GB ram machine. which is good because right now my arrive is trouching the heck out of my dual core gateway GT5238E PC from 2006 with windows 7.

I'm guessing they'll launch the Sea Ray at Nokia World?

They might surprise you and launch the Nokia Ray at Sea World Pronk.

I had a Samsung Q1U with 1GHz CPU and 2GB memory running Windows 7. I put the Windows 8 dev RC on it and it hardly moved.

I hope it's waterproof then!

I ran Windows 8 in parallels on my mac to give it, a try, and it ran just as fast as Windows 7 does in the same setup. So I dunno if it'll be faster for everyone, but at least at this point it certainly isn't any slower.

Absolutely, just like the IS12T

Windows? Phone

Doing! Doing! Doing! Arrrrgh! LOL

that's because u have a Samsung

There must be something in the hardware of the Q1U that causes it to run poorly. It did run Windows 7 well though (better than Vista).

yes, it does look very promising especially with the likely improvement of hardware specs over the next year. Microsoft needs to keep the number of services running to the minimum. I have high hopes for windows 8. Can't wait.

I think the biggest problem for WP7 is lack of 4G.

4G isn't even available everywhere yet, its all still technically 3G anyway. iPhone doesn't have 4G either but they dont seem to be complaining.
