So, hypothetically -
Windows Phone 8
Fancy Nokia design
41MP camera
Dual-core S4 CPU or similar
720p 4.3-4.8" SAMOLED screen
16/32GB + MicroSD
2500-3000 mAh battery
Yes. Please.
I'm guessing you have large hands/large pockets

If it's designed well, you don't really need either.
You saw how big the camera module was on the 808? I guess battery wise something like the RAZR MAXX does fit it in well. Still, that camera....
You will upgrade your OS for sure but not necessarily immediately. Your tablets and phones won’t have to change but when the time comes to upgrade you will have a choice whether to integrate all your devices into a one world scenario.
You will have that choice of one world, one which you don’t today. It will be up to you whether you want to go that way but the world will be available and getting better by the month.
A fragmented world or an integrated one, what a great choice! I know which one I would like.
Ah, the camera! Well yes, that's rather big.
I'd happily put up with it though to be honest, maybe they can make it a bit slimmer.
However, I'd be very, very surprised if they use the 41MP camera in any of the Windows Phones.
No Windows Phone 8 for us current users 
Even weirder is I would've thought the main problem was that shiny new Start Screen. Which we are apparently getting...
Also about integration. In the consumer space we only need look at Apple to know nobody really cares about it to that extent. The vast majority of iPods were connected to Windows. The vast majority of iPhones are connected to Windows. It's a nice "dream" but if Microsoft expects it to sell more Windows Phones it'll only have a marginal impact.

Isn't that what apple say about the cloud though? They're still all great devices on their own even without the integration. Chances are you'll have a W8 pc anyway so that integration is most of what matters. The tablet integration is an advantage for the tablet it doesn't really make your WP8 or W8 experience better.
