I think it will be pretty awesome with all those features, like e.g. DirectX-support for games and built-in Skype. Unfortunately, legacy devices won't get an upgrade to WP8, but at least the new homescreen and maybe some other yet-to-be-announced features will be available for those devices in form of WP 7.8.

 

So, what's your thoughts about it?

I think it looks like shit. Seriously, I hate the new metro style. They should keep it sleek and smooth with aero.

If people will develop cool things for WP8 and my budget allows it I'm buying one of these phones. The only downside would be that there seem to be a lot of restrictions (custom roms and stuff are not allowed).

 

I'm just really done with Google and Apple, both forcing their shitty services down my throat.

If we were talking about computers right now I'd totally agree with you. On a phone/tablet however I think I can get used to this interface.

Hmm, I already got used to it (mainly because I've been using WP 7.5 for quite some time already).

After using Metro, Aero feels unnecessarliy overloaded imo.

Metro on WP7 was so much better.

cool Windows Phone 8 will support c/c++ :3
