There are folders and files on the file system. It’s very easy and everybody who use computers know that. Ms is trying to use hubs and other shit which is unknown for typical user. Why somebody is trying to simplify something, that has been done by designers decades ago. I like files. I create files and I want to manage files also.

The solution is very simple – palmos, internal memory for apps is restricted, but sd cards can be accessed by application for sharing data. DRM content is protected, but user’s files are free to use.

I don’t know about a bright future for WP, don’t know what that refers to, but I still think the rest are true.

Yes, Nokia has been putting WP7 to the low-end as first evidenced by Lumia 610 and later by Lumia 505 and 510, obviously. These happened as I predicted in early 2012. I expect WP7 to continue to sell throughout this year at least in select markets and support to continue beyond that.

With the Lumia 520 they are of course getting WP8 to surprisingly low-end now too.

I don’t consider the WP7 situation optimal, never did, but thanks to Lumia 505 and 510 I expect WP7.x enjoying good support for longer than some Lumia 800 etc owners feared. Not perfect support, but good support nevertheless.

I wish WP8 would have come to WP7 devices, but at least I am seeing Nokia trying their best in the situation and also taking care of users much more than other WP manufacturers for example.

- Add an in phone file browser (or at least allow developers to do one – prefereably one that can connect wireless to home equipment so you can drag and drop files effortlessly in your home)

- Open up the phone system catalogs so that I can see more folders than photo video and ringtones. Some older WP7 apps store things in folder that i can not access so i can not move the files from my phone to pc, nor deleted them. This is a MUST feature.

Excellent when travelling light and when on vacation when you are shooting a lot of video (and with the 920 you do that all the time due the excellent stable videos that looks like they were shot on a tripod)

- Swype combined with MS Wordflow (would make me quicker typing on phone than on real keayboard :D )

- Ease up on the lockdown for the developers. If they want to add a notificationbar or quickmenu for radios on/off – let them, it can only be beneficial. Become the middle man between locked up apple and over open Android (i prefer the latter if you force me to choose, but like the flow in WP8 and the integration of all messaging systems with people)

- Introduce notification + Radios on/off bar Now please (still miss that from my droid) before i start to cry :¨c(

Boogie – pretty satisified Lumia920′er

And that is just the tip of the iceberg like problem that is.
