As you may have noticed interesting news stories have been non existent lately in the windows Phone world and given that I have less time to post I won’t bother posting about every single rumored sales statistics or other meaningless stuff. Unfortunately there’s isn’t much left to talk about now that we are nearing Christmas and the end of the year.
If you are a Nokia Lumia 800 owner I’m sure that you are eagerly waiting to the promised January Firmware update that should fix the battery issues (and hopefully this one included!) alongside other bugs and camera improvements. Speaking of the camera, Nokia’s Digital Imaging Guru Damian Dinning has once again tweeted that “improvements” are coming to the Lumia 800′s camera and noted that even though the hardware is the same as the Nokia N9 the “image processing is completely different”. Obvious given that the two handset have different OS’s and SoCs. It should also be noted the Lumia 800 (and 710) is Nokia’s first Qualcomm powered device so it’s normal that everything isn’t yet fully functional and bug free.
2012 is going to be a big year especially for Microsoft with the expected launch of Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. So my question to you guys (and gals) is: What do you expect in terms of innovation form Microsoft in the mobile space in the next 12 months? Do you think that Windows Phone 8 is going to be unveiled in February during MWC exactly two years after Windows Phone 7 and one year after Mango or is Tango going to take the center stage this time (with a immediate launch) while Windows Phone 8 will be announced later / closer to it’s availability? Last be not least: Are you happy about the current (non-existent?) Windows Phone Marketing and the fact that Microsoft is merely relying on Nokia to do this (especially in Europe) ?
