TechDeville: WP7 will not get WP8, will instead get a 7.8 update
WhatsApp announced ending support for some phones, and it won't work on them. The popular messaging platform, owned by Facebook, has updated its support
Moreover, the world influenced by Android and iOS the company has been accommodated, he is not excessively anxious for the future of Microsoft.
Microsoft's Corporate Vice President for Windows, Joe Belfiore, has finally admitted that Windows Phone will be ceasing its existence.
I do not get it, if they still made windows phones, I would most definitely still support them. It was a much more professional and better looking OS than Android and IOS, definitely prefered Windows OS, but oh well, it is what it is.
I didn't even know they still made Windows phones. Lol, I thought they gave up a while ago.
Apple and Google both ship free updates to heir software, this is yet another reason why not to get onboard with Microsoft an their mobile OS.
I was mad at the start when I heard WP7 devices will not get the update but after MS and Nokia coming out and saying they will get an update and the reasons why they are not getting the update im more than happy with that.
One thing WP brags about is being smooth and fast and if they put WP8 on a WP7 spec phone then it will not be a smooth out come and the devices will start to lag and have other issues which we see on Android (low end devices) and the old Windows Mobile (due to specs)
I have a lumia 900 and im lucky as I can upgrade again in October so I will more than likely pick up a WP8 device once Ive seen what they all have to offer but having the new UI and added Nokia apps I think this is more than enough of a reason for people to carry on picking up a Lumia 800 and 900.
At the end of the day most people don't look at specs when it comes to phones its looks and feel more than anything its only geeks as such that care about power.
The poor excuses are flooding in . I had a feeling wp7 was just a test subject for Microsoft . can you imagine having a iphone 4s(flagship) and the next update is not compatible. Microsoft's flagship is not upgradeable this is shocking to those who have windows phones excited about windows 8 what a joke. I called this move by Microsoft , shame the people who dont know Microsoft that well got duped . told you so.
