****MS Build 2014****

[cu3ed]

Looking forward to a full release of WP 8.1 now.

That and later we also have a Nokia conference for new model I assume coming with it.

As well as the rather huge list for updates, really liking how they have done the custom backgrounds and the "paralex" movement.

Excellent. Looking forward to this.

That's ok, it's not like since WP7 was announced both Android and iOS have taken huge design ques out of...

Looks great, hope HTC hops on the Windows Phone idea soon. Really would love to see it on something that isn't Nokia!

Yep, they had a few mice phones with WP7 then stopped. They need to release a WP version of the One.

 

[BuToNz]

Word on the net seems to be they are doing a WP version of the one actually

I'm counting on some smart cookie figuring out how to install it on an Android version of the phone.

 

[Amp34]

Excellent! No reason why not as all the hardware is supported now...

8.1 should be interesting. Always loved 7.5 as a whole in my short ownership of the Lumia 800 but there were a few annoyances that should be fixed with this update.

I'm patiently waiting for the new Nokia handsets with 8.1 before I upgrade my One S. The 1520 is too big for me and I'd rather a newer processor than in the 1020 if I'm having the phone for a couple of years!

 

[Mr Jones]

Still on my 920, not going to upgrade as I'm very satisfied with the 920 - unless something beautiful is announced. Looking forward to 8.1 update!

Yes the os should be designed around tiny little filetrees and numerous redundant tiny icons you'll never click.

That is the apparent pinnacle of ui design after all.

Excited for VPN support more than anything but I think biggest changes are install apps to sd card and Cortana(Siri)

I see win mobile is going to be licence free very soon.

 

[RSR]

What's Windows Mobile????

 

[Glaucus]

Looking forward to it, hopefully the update will roll out fast.
Rumours are the Nokia 8.1 device will be on sale by the end of the month. But who knows. Nokia rumours have been terrible

Which remember hasn't changed in about 10-15 years. Actually probably longer than that... First phone I used that UI on was a Sony Ericsson K700 but then Windows 3.1 did have a very similar UI to that which is what, 1993?
