Windows Phone 7.8 previewed on a Nokia Lumia 900 - read the full textHot on the heels of the leaked Windows Phone 7.8 features from a few days back, a short clip of the update has emerged online, running on Nokia Lumia 900. See it below. The short clip surely doesn't reveal much, save for the resizable tiles, a la Windows Phone 8. In any case, Windows...

-Screen capture
-Bluetooth file transfer
-Equalizer (At least on Lumia phones)
-Multiple picture selection
-Mass storage (including direct access)

There are still other stuff missing though:

-Separate volume configuration for ringtone and music
-Multiple attachments in email
-Attaching unknown file types to emails
-A phone explorer, to have access to unknown file types (can do it with music, video, etc.)

WP is still a very young OS. not yet mature..

Need to do a lot more work and develop these:
Screencapture
Equalizers (may be nokia pushes for this in their 7.8)
BT FT (same as above)
multiple picture selections
multiple sms selections
file manager - really hate zune. and more over you cant just transfer your docs / pdfs etc to your phone. you can only download them from net or emails

Finally you cant get direct access to content on your phone's memory when you connect to zune.
you just cant get to know the folder structures.

SO on.

so my 1 week's experience on WP in one line:
Simple fluid UI with lot of restrictions.

really loved the way symbian handled things, but got killed due to lack of proper hardware support. you just can literally expect a phone with 128mb / 434 mhz processor [nokia x6] to compete against modern smart(er) phones...


My phones:
nokia 6233
nokia x6
Nokia lumia 900.

Coming to 7.8 features:
We all know that it includes a new start screen.
New colors.

but what about these:
Bluetooth file transfers?
will zune still have to be there (this is one thing that I hate most on WP7.x)
OTA updates?

WP 7.8 is it coming for Lumia 800 or only Lumia 900?

i have had 3 nokia phones now and generally service centres do take a lot of time here due to high volumes and only now heard that it has improved a lot.

my previous phone Nokia 6233, they had taken full 6 months to replace my faulty HS-23 headset :) and replaced it with a lower end model headset which did not have any controls . :)

I have a ATT branded factory unlocked Lumia 900. There is a severe echo problem during calls. The person at the other end hears his own voice as echo...

anybody facing such issue (in India).

am facing echo issues during voice call. though call quality is clear at my end, at the other end it always echoes their own voice. My callers complain of this echo. has anybody faced this issue?

I sold my Lumia 900 and it got me 35% of its price!
Now i'm so happy i bought Galaxy S III I9305 its so much better in every thing i tried Lumia 920 in BestBuy its so dull and heavy... I advice you to do the same.
Nokia became so worthless and outdated now, i missed Nokia's golden days i hope they comeback like they used too.
