Hello
How likely would it be that we could successfull port wp8 on to the lumia 800. Its pretty powerful, it has 1.5ghz processor and 512mb of ram, could we get a reasonable port to it. I think its possible, but I would like opinions. Please answer the poll...
You mean official or unofficial? If the second one - yes, I think it could be done.. but for what when lumia 800 doesn't have dual-core.

I think windows rt must be easy to port on lumia as Htc hd developers did...and its easy for lumia 710 cuz its having a unlocked bootloader...

I came across this and was wondering if it might help with unlocking the Nokia WP7.

Cx1,
In my humble knowledge the only common thing between n9 and a wp7 phone is the housing of a lumia 800, so I think, this inception can't help

I'm loking for new phone, and it would be my first smarthphone, First i loked at Lumia 710 cause of the price, but now i got some more money and i changed my mind, and and i dont know which to buy, in your exp which is better, are for what reason.
For now i like lumia more because of design and feel in the hand but my worries are about hardware, P has better proc, graphics, ramm....etc
and what about battery life and usage of it, a heard that battery of P is bad.
get a lumia, Xperia P i think will not be getting JB, and also has a very bad battery backup.

No..Lumia is not getting WP8 because WP8 requires additional hardware..so if u look carefully..WP7.8 is WP8 without the hardware...MS are not promising you WP8 because it cant be delivered without the same hardware..hence they said 7.8!
simple.
If I were you I'd get the Xperia because of the screen, which looks better IMHO. However, if I really were you I wouldn't get an Android, ever again. Anyway picking the 800 now isn't very smart, it's nearly EOL and not as cheap as other equally EOL WP devices. I'd get an Omnia W for the time being...not that fancy but overall it's a better bang for the buck IMHO, and if you're lucky you can also unlock it. Too bad I've lost mine, it was a cool phone for the price.

considering unlocks...u can go for the lumia 710 , which is rooted or just have a wait fro the WP8 !
I was wondering will lumia 800 get the WP 8.0?

Sadly, all previous phones with Windows Phone 7 won't get an update to WP8.
But some, as the Lumia series by Nokia, will get an update to version 7.8

I too would like to know, why not?
Device is pretty decent, MS are shooting themselves in the foot by not doing it, the Lumia 800 been slashed in price, people are starting to buy it, these will be the people that go, Oh look at this to there pals with phones 3x the cost... the response they'll get is "yeah, you can't update, durr"
Is this the logical upgrade that it looks?

Not for 750-800 Euro`s retail :silly:
Well the 920 was rather steeply priced when it first appeared.

well, its a different class pretty much.
its better equipped and such (unless you're looking at AT&T, the US carrier carrying the 1520) but then again its larger, which could be either a plus or minus.
Personally, I'd prefer the 920, but if you value big screens, the 1520 could be the way to go. I personally don't expect to see a complete 92x series successor until a significant WP upgrade drops, like 8.1 perhaps.
1520 ticks all the boxes pretty much for me and definetly an upgrade however if it's priced anything over £520 it's not worth it. £500 is fine I would choose this over Note 3, which incidently I also owned.
Love the design build quality camera size...only downside is ofcourse lack of good apps.
If it's too pricey will probably wait for price to fall as I did with nokia lumia 920 which I bought for £165.00.

I wanted the 1020 but wasn't happy as it was just the same body and battery as the lumia 920 so was extremely happy when they announced the lumia 1520
Few reasons why I need it
1) Its got the new Faster Processor and more ram ( future proof)
2) Support for RAW files ( I buy my phones based on their cameras and so this is BIG for me)
Sure the lumia 1020 will support raw as well but those 41mp are just overkill while the 1520's 20mp is more manageble
3) Bigger Battery and Bigger screen so editing etc will be more fun.
I just hope Nokia comes with a built in Raw editor in the future and proper HDR in camera ( I know it dos bracketing shots) but hdr in camera would be benefit or a software to deal with it

dont forget about being able to add 64gb micro sd
if i were you i would wait for WP 8.1 to appear.. well see, there will be some new devices then - and probably the devices will do a "jump" like we expect WP 8.1 to bring... also i never buy the first device of a new "family" just for the case that there was a problem with the new design...
that saved me back in the days when they changed the iPhone 4 design and had issues, with the antenna
Nope
Not for me. Im buing new Lumia 920 next month.

i usin L920 almost 8 month and for now dont see reason to spend lot money for new models... 920 work great
I like big phone and want one
Still very happy with my 920, everything runs as it should and battery life is good. This is the first phone I had for this long, usualy I changed phone every 2-3 months on android.
I loved my 920 and was very happy with it, Now have a 1520 and it is so much of an upgrade, The screen is a beauty and I actually like the new tile layout, The camera is great compared to the 920s of which I wasn't overly impressed,
Performance wise it is flawless whatever I ask of it, Not that windows phone has ever been slow or laggy but this really is so fluid,
Lumia Black is preinstalled and I had the update through the other day via preview for devs to 10521, Little touches like the coloured glance screen clock are very nice amongst everything that comes with GDR3.
It is a very big phone though so will not be to everyone's taste, If you have large hands and pockets then go for it :fingers-crossed:
I wonder if the 1520 will get the WP9 update from MS

possibly not... it's early to discuss about this... ask question when Microsoft release official hardware compatibility list for WP9... also rumors says WP9 will not be compatible with WP8 because MS start build WP9 from scratch
Just bought one brand new for $400.00 and why don't we have forum for the 1520?
It is too big...
Maybe if rumored Lumia 929 becomes real. :]
Well Lumia 1520 screen is too big. I know it is phablet. But not handy if you want use as phone. I upgraded my Lumia 928 to Lumia Icon and 5" screen for one hand is big. But I'm happy with it. But most of things what I like Verizon Lumia models - design.

I myself have decided to join the Windows phone gang recently. I find 1520 way too big to operate, so I got a 920 instead. Some of my fav wallpapers are not Full HD so I dont have to worry about the pics get stretched.
Am getting this phone today, which as I understand is basically a cheaper Padfone X for the rest of the world (very cheap in my country, Malaysia). However as the processor is Snapdragon 801 rather than 800, it probably needs its all subforum. Anyone knows how to request one?

PadFone S has better hardware then X, but (afaik) you can run X rom on S and vica versa.

Not that there ARE any X roms =) thanks for your reply!
I'm not brave (nor knowledgeable) enough to try out the twrp listed in the dev forum. However the price range the S is going for here means in sheer number of users its likely to be more than the X within a short amount of time. Not sure whether that translates into dev activity, but hard to find out without a subforum.
I think better add subthread.
