I need the technical preview that was running on the yellow 1520 in the showcasing video. if it can be showcased it good enough for me. Am starting to dislike Windows phone due to this
many showcases/demos are a lot more broken under the hood than you may think. I remember either the MacWorld Halo demo, or the Halo 2 E3 demo which had crippling bugs that thankfully didn't rear their heads.
there are reasons such early builds haven't been made more widely available.
Looks like MS wants mass testing on one hardware platform to root out bigger issues before opening it up.
Look, getting a view this early in the development stage is practically unprecedented in a mass market mobile product.
So you're starting to dislike Windows Phone because they won't put out a build for your specific phone for an alpha project? (they did say that mass testing on a small device subset is normal in development, we just didn't see it before.)
Well you have nothing to switch to. Apple iOS? You gotta wait, betas are closed to developers as of now. (you could pay to get in I suppose)
Android? Let me know if they have something similar. (although I suppose nightlies of ROMs can count somewhat, the OS they're based on was already released beforehand though. Android L? Rivals the beta and Preview for Developers.)
