Video: New Improved WP8 emoticons, new apps, OTA update
First up, here’s a look at the re-organized emoticons available when typing on WP8 (text/email/tweeting/browser/whatever).
Notice that instead of a big list, they’re organised into these tabs (are tabs metro?) that make it easier to see more emoticons of different types and a much wider variety too.
As mentioned, not a major feature but lots of small improvements that improve user experience.
Next up, an early look at some of the new apps.
Here’s MetroTube, currently available for WP7 but tweaked for WP8
Finally, OTA updates for WP8. This will allow you to do this over WiFi or cellular. I’m gonna stick with PC updates. As seen in the video, the update didn’t work. A known error was mentioned. I hope it actually works in future.

I read that d.versus review, it’s far from being a competent “review”, yet fanboys are already clinging to it.
I’ll wait for comparos from sites that know what they’re talking about, & I’m I’m not even a massive WP fan…
Look at the ‘lights down’ sample in the cnet link.
See something off with the flash, or is it just me?

Finally!
can anyone please tell me if you can buy apps on WP marketplace using operator billing? or must you have a credit card? please
Currently dont think so. At least not in southeast asia. This is definitely something that would be popular with countries with substantial prepaid subscribers.
