Just like the job posting from Microsoft we recently saw that revealed the Windows Phone Blue update, another job posting from Microsoft outs the time frame for the software update as "the holidays" with two smaller updates taking place before then most likely to repair some bug fixes like the issue that is ewating up native storage from the phone...

Hoping for Quad core and Octa core phone even though WP doesn't need it.

This is exactly what Microsoft needs to be doing: advancing and tweaking WP8 OS, in order to make it more appealing on a wider scale, and give customers the impression they are serious about competing in the mobile world.

Oh look, somebody disapproves. Let me write the reverse: this is not what Microsoft should be doing: improving and tweaking WP8 OS, and they should not make it appeal on a wider scale, or give customers the impression they are serious about competing in the mobile world.

Happy? Dumbass ;o)

I hope it's actually a major update like Gingerbread 2.3 to Ice Cream Sandwitch 4.0

It'll be am major update bit not like android 2.3 to 4.0...because wp 8 was huge update from wp7.5..this time it'll not be that big...

10. shuaibhere posted on 03 Mar 2013, 19:39 1 2

Correction..
But not "bit"

12. StopTheilluminati (banned) posted on 03 Mar 2013, 20:51 0 1

I hope the next Lumia flagship will be called 930 instead of 940. Nokia's going to run out of model numbers too soon if they keep up with the +20 naming scheme.
