If Microsoft had continued 6.5's design, they wouldn't stand out in the market against Android.

Touché. But we still expect it to sell millions to existing devices though right, Windu?

App list no where to be seen but if you can unpin an app then it must exist.
Arrow haters redeemed.

It is amusing how you came in two days before the announcement to say the exact same thing that numerous sources had already said, and you're telling us I told you so? lol
If it's the Windows 8 kernel, definitely not.

The Windows RT kernel has nothing to do with that.
Ok, so no app screen confirmed.

But you were wrong. We'll both get Tango and 7.8.
Tango was already in play at the time. 7.8 is the last hoorah for WP7.

Last hoorah? More like taking the dog in the backyard and shooting it in the head.
In hindsight, I was being optimistic!
Besides, when has anything that's been called a last hoorah ended up in anything other than a failed attempt?
More like taking a dog out back, giving it a treat, turns out the treat is filled with shit, and then shooting it in the head.
LMAO.
In hindsight, Verizon was the smart carrier

Just woke up and skimmed through all the WP8 news:
Seems nice, still have a bit more to learn though it appears.
I like the new Start Screen, small tiles do look a bit cluttery but it's great that all apps are now expandable to large tiles. Thurrot said that they are bringing Contracts to WP8 which is also great if true. NDK is good for developers.
Bring on that new Nokia hardware.

has calmed down a bit.
I just checked, my wife's Lumia 900 still works. Phew. I thought we had just thrown away $99. Wait, scratch that, we actually didn't pay anything because Nokia gave us a $100 credit.
Edit: unless I'm crazy or dont understand the contracts concept, app contracts were shown in the conference. In the horrible video with the family in the restaurant, app contracts are used to handoff from the food ordering app to check ins on Facebook. I dont blame everyone for turning off the stream at that point and missing the part, lol.

But they dropped support, how does it still work!?

Guys, Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 share the same kernel, and IE10 has the same rendering engine on Windows 8 and Phone 8, does that mean Windows Phone 8 will support flash?

has calmed down a bit.
I called and asked her about the phone out of concern, after reading this thread I was sure it had spontaneously exploded.
Thats a Samsung feature apparently

Don't scare me, I own a Samsung phone.
Also, has anyone pointed out the irony of unknown soldier posting about the Lumia phones being obsolete while using a Touchpad?

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
So will we actually get Tango this week or.... *crickets chirping*

Eh, what's the point of getting a WP8 device, when it will most likely also fail to sell enough and won't get WP9 update. Microsoft is doing fine job alienating customers again...

You get why there won't be an update for current devices, right?

They also said that 7.8 is really just a cosmetic update and only brings the new start screen.
