From Mobile: Windows Phone In-Depth

Windows Phone, Microsoft's latest phone OS has been causing a fair amount of ripples in the mobile space lately, whether those ripples will turn into full blown tsunamis of interest and adoption is yet to be seen. Early adopters have praised the platform for its originality, simplicity and elegance, but criticized its young app ecosystem. However, one thing's for sure; Windows Phone is 'too big to fail'. The software giant will continue to dump cash into the OS until it clicks. So it definitely makes for an interesting platform to watch. Below are some excerpts from the latest reviews from our sister site.

A look at the unreleased Windows Phone 7.8 upgrade
"...they promised us an update, an update that would bring down some prominent WP8 features to existing devices. They called this update Windows Phone 7.8. In this review, we’ll be covering the new updates and features that Microsoft and Nokia packed into WP7.8 for the Nokia Lumia 900."
