if uber dumps google maps for bing maps for their apps, it is going to become a painful experience.

dang why dont they do it sooner so i can own a legendary Nokia again. im buying a phone this month, cant wait that long.

main thing i hated in windows phone is, its home window looks like girls desktop overflowing with icons. i like clean home window with few main icons.

Saw a post in another thread about MS planning more layoffs especially in the devices section... looks like they really will abandon Windows on phones, like Nokia abandoned the N900 linux phone :(

Considering they are making more money (more than a billion per year i believe) from android devices... makes perfect sense. lol.
