Yes it does.

Suggest you read up on Mozilla and Google's complaints

Yes it does.

Not on ARM.

Aren't those about them not being able to run in desktop mode on WinRT? I don't think the Metro versions are limited unless I'm mistaken.

You're mistaken.

The icons are all wrong, the font is terrible, why would I need a camera icon, when I have a button on my phone, "Email"? Really?

Not everyone is blessed with camera buttons. =(

 

[Good Job Bob]

You're mistaken.

Just read up on it again, well that's total shit.

Just use an app to make pressing the vol +/- buttons simultaneously launch the camera app of your choice.

That's awkward.

 

[Blackhead]

You know you want it.

*Ugh* Anyone can tell the difference. Never put Metro and another OS side by side.

 

[VanMardigan]

That launcher is bad enough, but click on any of those tiles and the illusion is shattered entirely.

 

[MCD]

So cute.

Luckily, the only good visual part of WP is the launcher.

Thanks to Nokia, Bing got a little bit more useful. Even outside the US.

In short, if you launch your Bing Maps (either on the web or your Windows Phone) and enable Traffic, you'll notice two things right away:

New color codes - green, yellow and red (maybe black?)
More detail - Where once only major roads have it, now we're seeing our local streets with live traffic data

Nokia is now offering what was before only available in their Nokia Maps app to everyone who uses Bing. What's more, that info is available in 24 countries including Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UAE, UK and US.

Now please enable real turn-by-turn navigation, Microsoft.

 

[JaggedSac]

I always saw green, yellow, and red. Good about more roads though.

EDIT: Just took a look and Atlanta definitely has more roads with traffic data now. Cool.

 

[kharma45]

How the heck do you enable traffic on WP7? Can't see the option for it anywhere.

Hit the ellipsis at the bottom right and click "show traffic". While in the maps app.

Open Bing Maps, swipe the app bar up, tap on "show traffic".

No option there for me, works fine on the desktop version though.

Odd.

Niiice. Just checked my area, traffic data is everywhere now.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Now I just want Nokia to take over Local Scout as well. Using Nokia maps and searching for business you get much more info (for users outside the US).

 

[quaere]

Coming up with very different traffic results between Google and Bing. Seems like Bing uses relative speeds, while Google is using absolute speeds, so most local roads are yellow or red on Google and green on Bing. Google's approach seems a bit more useful.

It sounds like Bing is displaying traffic and Google is displaying speed. I guess as long as the Bing directions take speed into account there isn't too much of a difference.

White Plains, NY and Orlando, Fla store locations announced today.

Now more stores open or announced in the eastern timezone than in the pacific timezone.

Looks like some Pure View Apollo devices are popping up on benchmarks.

Lets not forget that Pure is another Nokia brand and doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be a PureView phone.

If I bought a Zune Music Pass yearly subscription would I be able to use it on two phones? I'm guessing not but I'd buy it if my fiancé could use it on her phone too (not at the same time obviously)

Should be able to use it on 3 computers and 3 devices. Though she would have to use your account.

 

[Choc]

is there an app like podtrapper on wp7?

You could try Bringcast.

Our luck it will be the Pure font and not PureView. Instead of phones having great cameras they decided to change the text so that we get Nokia Pure instead of Segoe WP.

Hey, we all know Apollo allows OEMs to customize the OS a bit more!

You'd only be able to stream and download from the associated account. You could sync media with multiple devices though

BBC iPlayer on the way!

Although Sky Go won't be here for at least "a good few months," but at least it's coming

Will it be available for us free-loading Americans?

man, that screenshot makes my eyes bleed.

Anyway, it seems recently some Nokia models leaked out for Apollo (at least code names). Has there been any actual leaks of the designs? I can't believe some havent leaked out yet.

I don't think there's any getting around that if you want Pureview in your device.

 

[brotkasten]

Yes, there is. Nokia already talked about making slimmer phones with smaller sensors. I don't need the full 41 MP monster, but I like the tech.
