Also old Focus is one of the few Windows Phone that you could upgrade the storage.

Yeah it's a little be annoying my OG Focus which I gave to the fiancee when her Nexus S died has more space than my 900.
All I want come 4th Quarter is 4.3+ inch screen either 720 or 768, 32GB of storage and a killer camera. I'd prefer if Nokia was the one making this device but if it's HTC or Samsung I'll consider it.
I am basically looking for that too. If not, I need to decide on what other phones could fit my needs.

It's shocking sometimes how much people are willing to pay for phones off contract. I used to sell my phones when I upgraded for a fair amount more than what I payed for them one year previous, but lately I've just been giving my old phones to family/friends to use. It makes them happy as they get a phone much better than what they had and I don't have to deal with the degenerates on Kijiji/Craigslist/eBay/etc.Call me a pessimist, but getting $100 for a Focus at this stage of the game seems like a pipe dream. Maybe for the Focus S or Focus Flash, but no way is anyone paying $100 for an OG Focus.
I'm riding my OG Focus into the sunset of WP7, I just hope someone other than HTC announces their WP8 lineups soon.
Also, I'm glad that WP-GAF isn't nearly as combative or delusion as the Android GAF community. I'm reading the Nexus 7 thread because I pre-ordered one as my way of having access to all the Android apps. I've seen delusional statements like: "[the Nexus 7] will create a beachhead for Android tablets" and they spend most of their time talking about the mini-iPad. It's weird.

The OG Focus has been a great phone. Once I found an upgradable SD card that worked with the phone, I've been very happy with it. Glad WP8 finally has upgradable storage built in. Also dying to hear about new phones. Its gotta be October before we hear about the big guns for this holiday though. Sucks. Also we're all delusional in one way or another, no matter what tech thread we throw our flag behind. At least we're defending RIM. There's always that.

Yeah, I know what it feels like to be on a sinking ship. I bought a Palm Pre back in the day, lol. I actually started with a Treo, my first nice phone. Before that I had owned various flip phone and other shit. Then from the Treo I went Pre, then that shit looked bad so I bought a droid, hated it. From there I used my brothers old iPhone and then I ended up with my OG Focus.
Lumia 800 Tango get.
Apparently T-Mobile Germany won't push it out til end of summer. WTF. Although I got the impression the customer service woman in their forum mixed up Tango and WP7.8

why would the memory matter when wp8 supports expandable memory
Cool concept. I'm interested in hearing if it's well done in practice.
The website says it even works on a treadmill, any idea how? I assumed it'd need GPS.

I can't run outside, my poor legs hehe
That doesn't mean OEMs will support it. Even Android devices with expendable memory are getting fewer.
But Android doesn't have full support for it in the OS. Bit of a different situation.That doesn't mean OEMs will support it. Even Android devices with expendable memory are getting fewer.
Tried it today and it works as advertised. During your run you will hear audio book style narration in which various characters speak to you and amongst themselves over radio. After the run you get to play a simple mini game where you build up your base using items you picked up during your run (this is automatic, you don't actually do anything other than run). Game also includes encyclopedia style section where you can check out descriptions of characters and items.
Id recommend that people setup a playlist before the run so there is not so much dead air during the run. Id estimate there is at most 10 minutes of audio per 30 minutes of running. I didn't do this the first time so lot of the time there was just nothing to listen to.
Zombies, Run!
It should be fine. Since MS put so many locks in place all windows phone 7 phones should work great untill WP8 comes out.Has anyone here used the Focus Flash? I am thinking about picking one of those up for cheap on ebay or something and then using my contract renewal for when WP8 releases later in the year. I'm not overly concerned about the camera and storage space, the reviews I've read seem to say its a fairly decent phone considering what it costs.

Can you play playlists within the app?
ok metrotube is pretty awesome.
On the mission screen you can choose which playlist you want.
It's always been the best youtube app.
Good. Think I'm gonna try it out.
Kerris believes that Nokia will innovate its way out of its current situation and that change will continue this Fall with new products. And in the biggest sign of encouragement, Kerris states that this Spring "people will be climbing over themselves" to get at the new Nokia products.
He also believes that carriers will put together attractive options for updating your device to a Windows Phone 8 product, what these packages could look like, or will be, we do not have any information on that.
That would be great, but I refuse to get hopes up. And wtf at no trial for zombie run.

WTF Nokia, I'm not waiting until Spring. I'm buying at the launch of WP8 and not a day later. Hopefully that is just reference to a PureView Lumia.
Hate on me, but for some reason I just saw this coming. I still could be proven wrong, but everything just pointed to having to wait till 2013 for a Nokia phone. That means at launch you're probably stuck with whatever spin Samsung does on the GS3 for WP8. Plus maybe a One line WP8 device from HTC.
