Still getting apps on wp7, I mean you are with Blackberry but Im sure BB 10 will get most of the app attention. Don't get me wrong I want to get the 9930, but in terms of productivity and apps wp7 has a lot more going on, for me at least.

Microsoft HAS NOT stated this. They have stated that WP7 apps will be able to run on WP8, but have not yet shut down the upgrade path.

The longer they wait though, the more unlikely the upgrade path seems likely.

why so defensive, are you scared your phone wont get the update, it happens man, my EVO isnt getting ICS, every company does this, its how they get you to buy a new phone, if you want new you have to buy new, updates are not a garenteed promise anyways, ms is a business, so why wouldnt they try to maximize profits by not updating current phones, thus forcing people to buy new phones if they want windows 8
