never
When is 8.1 coming?
I can totally see it launching in June. Why so slow, WP team?

I wonder if the need to get the Xbox one out the door plus the Windows 8.1/RT8.1 updates pulled resources from WP8.1. If so, they probably thought GDR3 was good enough for this year.
It's kind of sad that Ballmer previously expressed regret on investing more man power on Vista at the expense of Windows mobile, but it appears to be happening all over again.
In June for brand new devices is still too late but probably true. AT&T probably won't even allow the current crop to get 8.1 or will finally sign off on it 4Q 2014.
Yeah that's pretty great.According to Tom Warren, the quick settings bar in WP8.1 will be customizable so you can put what you want in there. Nice!! That is something new.
I find it hilarious that none of the recent leaks contain any new information.
Yup. Where is Kids Corner 2, Joe?
WP really has messed up up bluetooth support for devices. I have a bluetooth headset adapter can sync it to all my other machines (Surface, iPAD, Android tablet and phone) but for some reason it keeps getting disconnected on my Lumia 520. This is the device I bought it for to use with XBOX music and it doesn't work.

The delays are frustrating though. I didn't really expect 8.1 to be out in time for the end of the year with the kernel change and all the catching up that had to be done with the GDR updates, but early 2014 should have been expected. If it's a case of an announcement and immediate release in April it's still fine too - but if it's an announcement for a release in the (late) summer, that's really not very good at all. Not good enough.
It would also mean that the initial wave of WP8 devices will have been out for longer than 18 months.
Some of it is new.
Quick settings, drag down, bing smart search etc.
None of that was rumoured before, right?
Yeah the drag down thing def be new. Would rather it was a drag up like Apple though.
Brot should stop complaining.
Subway Surfers is out for WP8. First the Michelin App, now this. Brot should stop complaining.
My daughter loves subway surfers on ipad and she has a 520, so I can't wait to install it for her.
Us talking about what makes sense or not or what we expect to be added doesn't mean it's not new though.
The drag down to access notifications and quick settings was definitely new to my knowledge (we were speculating how the notification center would work all the time because we didn't expect them to copy the Android drag down that Apple had previously already stolen).
Does anyone else just download everything just to show support? Lol I knew about Subway Surfer but don't really care about it and yet I just downloaded it to my phone
Hey dont joke about IE sync. I was on my phone this morning, came across a really long read I wanted to check out on my laptop later and then I remembered no IE sync yet.And please, let's not lower the bar to Android level in here. Or are you telling me you're also getting excited about an IE sync leak next?
E: and I did it again. I killed my data for this month while updating apps and now I'm on a cap again, just because I forgot to turn on my Wifi at home. Where the hell are the location aware profiles, Joe?
Ya caught me. I have so many apps I don't particularly care for if only to show support.Does anyone else just download everything just to show support? Lol I knew about Subway Surfer but don't really care about it and yet I just downloaded it to my phone

Hopefully the 512mb support isn't far off.
What?

I download probably like 70% of the apps on WPCentral mainly to see if they're somehow for me.
Also, I don't quite understand the current discussion. Complaints about delays, sure, but "we've seen/heard/deduced this stuff before" doesn't really take away from its usefulness...
Ok Folks, I'm finally ditching the garbage that is my iPhone 4 and want to pick up a Windows phone. I'm on Verizon and would PREFER to not buy one through the carrier and renew my contract (will lose my unlimited data). Can I get a good Windows phone without renewing for a decent price anywhere?
I'm guessing I should add that I use my phone as a media player (music only) quite often. So storage and a good media player matter,
Is the Lumia 520 (or a variant of it) on Verizon? If so go for that. I think the current price in the US for it is sub $100
I'm running out of internal storage space on my 620 and, according to the Data Manager on Settings, my Temporary Files are occupying over 2.5 GB. I've tried to delete them several times now, but no luck, after 30 minutes of "Deleting Files" I decided to cancel the process. What's weird, is that, according to the Lumia Data Manager, my Temporary Files are under 100 MB.
Sucks.
