I suppose it can currently stand here, but ideally as per staff it should be in the PGD. In saying that it would be more appreciated in here than in PGD. I will have a few words with the other mods to see what we can do.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

No we dont need that many dedicated boards, BB 10 will be coming next year that would need a board as well then. We should just get back to one board and in that we should have stickies to discuss any system war like issues and any threads created to start trouble would be locked.

- Sep 3, 2012 1:52 pm GMTI had requested a seperate board or an attachment to this one. so we will hope to see one of the two happen, im quite okay with talk continuing here.

[/QUOTE] A dedicated board for Windows Phone and Windows RT will be needed, a board for BB will not. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that Windows Phone 8 and Windows RT are going to become very big, particularly Windows RT (and other Windows 8 tablets), as no other tablet can offer the same type of experience in a low price range. Being a Windows device, it will also attract a good number of normal Windows users who are looking for an alternative to a laptop / netbook .

Hopefully MS will follow through here. I still have a bad taste from Windows Mobile 5/6. The OS and app support was just non-existent - to the point I basically gave up and went back to a Java based device. Still, I'm seeing some nice features with the new Windows mobile. There seems to be strong integration between phone-PC which I'm looking forward to see more of...- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

[/QUOTE]Thats an assumption really, lets not forget BB still has bigger market than windows phone.
We have not seen any serious dev interest in windows RT yet and we dont really know if it can actually do more than current tablets.

After the Nokia's show yesterday I'm definitely dumping Android for Lumia 920.
I also love the push for hybrids. Been usiing convertible PC laptops for better part of decade and can't imagine ever going back. I just want high end Thinkpad hybrid. Not RT one, but actual genuine x86 thinkpad. Bassicaly something like this with detachable screen:
X230t has been dissapointing a bit. So if Lenovo doesn't make Transformer W8 Thinkpad I will propably buy x220t and wait couple years to see how the market will look after the dust settles

But yes its heavy. My own phone is 140grams and I wish it was lighter, long calls and playing games while lying down can get tedious. I so love the galaxy S2 for it's weight, wish the galaxy nexus had the same size.

Wanted so much to like Windows phones/tablets but I absolutely just cant stand that UI. Ugh. I will, however, give them credit for creating an etirely unique experience and I hope they have a lot of success with it. Would be nice to have a 3rd strong competitor in the field for a change.
