Design: Chrome > IE > FF/Opera
Functionality: Opera > FF > Chrome/IE
Performance: Chrome/IE > FF/OperaIn the end FF and Chrome borrowed a lot from Opera and implemented it somewhat better/worse.
Personally i use Opera with some sort of Chrome skin because Opera looks freaking hideous by default.

WP8 is in a stupid position thanks to the whole kernel change, if Blue still doesn’t bring most of the features People are requesting then it’s really time to be disappointed big time.

W8 Store, click shiny new tile and Install.. voilà you will be upgraded! From 8 to Preview to Final, but im certain MS will also provide 8.1 images for fresh installing.

Instagram is supposed to be coming to WP8, Nokia hinted it several times, but the app they showed can post to instagram, i suppose that’s at least a start for all the crybabies out there.

Whenever Nokia releases a WP8 phone with a 41mp sensor and OIS, then they really have the best camera phone ever created as the 808 is missing OIS.

No it can’t.
WP8 phones come with a UEFI implementation and Secure Boot which exclude Android instantly.

Pressure sensitivty is replicating button pressing, but instead of a button pressing down, it’s just your finger applying force onto a flat surface, nobody wants a freaking button to toggle capacitive buttons, that’s a workaround for a issue that shouldn’t be one, genius, please.. what you want is not a solution to fix capacitive buttons.

The device you see in the screenshot has no wireless charging but needs a cover, it has the same cover pins like all the other non-wireless Nokia phones that come with wireless charging capable covers.

Capativie buttons are simply fail, they need to be pressure sensitive then they can actually replace hardware buttons without being a pita.

Arrow, they use Nokia Lumia 920s which for some reason are pretty much always off and use the most stupid colors for product placement.. black and white instead of Yellow, Cyan, Red which don’t really stick out unless you actually know it’s a Lumia 920.., sometimes terrible dummies of said phone as well or very similar looking phone, Surface gets shown a lot but feels way to forced.

You have 2 scenes where it’s not shown, one is Picture taking and one is the Homescreen while on other scenes the homescreen has the Buttons, so how would you determine when it’s not needed, is there even any scenario where you don’t want these buttons to be not accessible?

Sweet Video but the Phone itself looks a bit hideous, especially these small Hardware Buttons :> Before they would try to have such small buttons, they’d remove them and change to a W8 style UI (Swipe based)

The (new) XBOX, yeah but really.. Apple did it, but unlike the first iPad, the first xbox is waaaay older, it wouldn’t really cause much of a confusion.
