Could be that they are behind a bit because they needed to wait for some deliveries from the Windows side? I dunno. Xbox One OS doesn't seem as mature as it should be either.

Just tried to download FIFA 13 and get the usual, your phone is low on memory, crap. I have over 3GB on the phone. I know sometimes that you can push games to install from the desktop app store. But what is the reason behind this error?
Really frustrates me.

It was part of the first wave of LTE enabled markets from AT&T. Not in all areas though.

I think this is the reason Thurrott gave on windows weekly. The WP team has to wait for the kernel to be finalized to really customize their implementation.
Even the US Virgin Islands has LTE now from at&t, its pretty awesome.
Is it a big game? It probably needs enough room for both the download (temporarily) and the installed files.
I don't believe that. Doesn't make sense.
Thurrott has said a lot of inconceivably wrong things in the last year.
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
Could've been Mary Jo Foley, I can't remember. Either way, I don't think that would account for a six month delay either.
I think the most likely explanation for the WP team being behind is that they were behind already with WP8 with several new features not making it/having to be cut after the kernel change.
If you're already several months behind to start with it's unlikely that you'll catch up in the space of a year.

One must always take the things Thurrott/Foley say with a couple of grains of salt. Oftentimes they know things, and oftentimes they are wrong.

A one year cycle is long enough, anything longer is unacceptable. In the mobile space, you seriously can't be that slow, especially when you are behind.
Miracast uses Wifi but I'm pretty sure you need an adapter for Widi.
I think it's just software implementation of wifi, but if the device doesn't ship with it "certified" the chances of getting an update to support it are almost zero even if it's technically capable of doing it.
We know what the competitor's move at. We know what hardware cycle's are like and we know that the WP hardware is behind it's competitors. We know there's a whole wealth of features requested and improvement's that can be made.
So yes I will say they're behind. The scrappy upstart (Microsoft WP) in the mobile space needs to be outpacing their competitors by a wide margin.
I would also like to know this.

well... technically, you do need hardware that supports it, but all the moderm mobile hardware does it... the important step is os and oem support for it... most modern mobile hardware supports FM radio too and look at that...
lol

2gb of RAM is higher than the current spec for windows phone. Hwalker, we can maybe hope that the chipset is different too. It seems Nokia can definitely take some liberties with the supported specs of wp8. My hype level is rising again.
My hype level is reaching critical mass. If only the Yellow was Matte... May have to go with Black.
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
No SD card is infuriating though. What the hell, Nokia!
and yeah, the color choices are disappointing. White and yellow were the ugliest 920's.

I love my white
It's alright, an opinion on a message board really shouldn't change that.

Cyan>Red>Black>Yellow>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>White. White is hideous. Yellow at least looks good under some lighting conditions.
I want Cyan 1020 so badly. But Nokia just don't give to shits about cyan anymore, its all about dat yellow and red.

It's official. Bank Of America Credit card with ever lumia purchase.
Nice pics in that blog.
I'm considering buying a 920 once it hits the $300-$350 range. The 1020 should help accelerate that process, and it would still be a nice upgrade over my 620. Unlike HTC, I highly doubt Nokia would abandon their flagship, either. Of course, all of this assumes Nokia doesn't release a nice midrange phone by early next year.

Cyan is the garbage race. TRUTHFACT.
It's all about Periwinkle:
In fact, with our next update, there will be no more theme colors. They are all periwinkle. We did some focus testing and found out that it was the best.

2014 release justified.
