    It's a feature for outdoor use. Then your fingers won't go cold. And it's still winter in Sweden.

    Post Will WP7 devices today lose features when upgraded to WP8? I'm worried.

    If anyone think Microsoft is stupid enough to make the same mistakes and Google and Apple, on a platform that's first catching it's first glimpse of success now, they're bloody retards. And Nokia proved with the Lumia 800 and Lumia 620, that ULTRA OVERKILL HARDWARE isn't the way forward -- more...

    Post Is Windows Phone suffering from Osborne effect ?

    Actually it seems to be a general trend. It's also why Apple kept their "next" products secret, until the day it's launched for the market. Still, I think showing a long-term plan will encourage more developers to put energy/money on the platform, so the platform, from a regular non tech-savy...

    Swypes is a much more suited gesture for navigation on a touch device, than a button click. Clicks usually require proper angle, and the ability to hold the device solid, where swypes can be done pretty much all the time. I don't understand why people enjoy having to use the phone's physical...

    Because they aren't. Google refuse to force the OHA to update all their devices. No, it's not. Look at the numbers for god sake. They known about the fragmentation problem for a year, and they done absolutely nothing to change it. The first release of the OS didn't even have Over-the-Air...

    Post Why take WP7 over android?

    I'm aware it's possible, but it's common practice for UI developers from the .NET / Windows stack to stick to the design guidelines. The vast majority will be using the Metro design language, and utilizing pivot/panorama controls, and so on. (Except for games, of course).

    10 different screen sizes, and different API availability due to fragmenetation of the OS? It's still around 50% of the phones running a pre-Eclair (2.0) version, which limits your abilities as developer. This means any serious application would have to be written for the Cupcake (1.5) API...

    If they want instant gratification, we'll just show them the xbox, zune or people hub. They'll love it. I could repeat myself in regards to uniform design language, but I think I repeated it enough for now. I'm just happy for reviews like this, some people are just much better with words than I am.

    No, you're wrong. Perhaps you should call your local Microsoft office, and get their opinion if it's released in your country -- because mine say it's released in mine, and mine aren't on that list.
