PROBLEMS I FACED WITH NOKIA LUMIA 800 ARE AS FOLLOWS:

1. WE CAN NOT DELETE MULTIPLE MESSAGES FROM INBOX. WE OPTION AVAILABLE NOKIA 2390 ALSO.

2. THERE IS NO GUJARATI FONT OR LANGUAGE. MY SOME POST ARE IN GUJARATI WHICH I CAN’T READ.

3. ” SAY CALLERS NAME” OPTION ISN’T WORKING IN LUMIA 800 WHICH WAS AVAILABLE IN NOKIA C5.

4. AFTER TAKING NOKIA LUMIA 800, THERE IS A FREE SCHEME INVENTED BY NOKIA THAT FREE SPEAKER WILL BW PROVIDED FOR LIMITED PERIODS. THEN WE ARE DUFFER THAT PURCHASED BEFORE THEM. EVEN CONCESSIONAL SCHEME WILL BE AVAILABLE THERE FOR OLD ONE.

5. FILE EXPLORER SHOULD BE THERE.

6. MOBILE TRACKER SHOULD BE THERE. LIKE MOBILE THEFT MESSANGER.

7. VIDEO DOWNLOADED FROM UC BROWSER SHOULD BE MOVED FROM THAT TO VIDEOS OPTION IN MUSIC & VIDEOS.

But you know that WP7.8 has RTM status already and that MS have stated that they will sell new devices with wp7.8 from now on? That means that adding more features isn’t the reason for the delay

Might be a bit early to say but looks like MS is reverting to type , can`t say I`m surprised …

Ya, carriers F up the flow of roll out pretty bad. I’d expect T*Mobile to push it out first, Verizon last.

The smartphone platforms seem to be quite mature already so there should not be major rework needed anymore. Hence, wp8 should not be that late with updates. Though one has to remember that MS was late with WP8 in general and Apollo+ brings features MS did not have time to finish.

Jay mentioned Anna update: it would be ibtetesting to hear what Nokia did for that update and what was still needed to do for Symbian in terms of under the hood rework.

They’re not going to announce a specific time frame until they’re solid on it. “In the coming months” = “we’ve still got problems we need to solve. “” = “we’re done, we’re just testing with carriers”

I get the impression MS might be leaving certain important features out of WP so that manufacturers have something to differentiate on. Samsung WPs have a call blocker, for instance.

Depends on the app in question.
