Or for real evil, Bieberrolled.

At least let's try to get the most out of it - vote here:

Unless the code gets someone rickrolled.

I still prefer the Seinfeld version.

Sometimes when you ask for a copy of your prescription, this information isn't written down. Just ask them for the PD (pupilary distance) and most times they will put it there for you. Optometrists that work at a place that sells glasses will always measure it for you anyway. I bought a pair of glasses at sams club,…

Don't fear Jesus ...

Actually we already owned Samsung Focus (4 of us), and a Samsung Focus S. I was upgrading because in the end I got $15 back for it, and assumed the upgrade would happen. My next line to renew will do it only in february, so I'd probably have waited.

#correction 'BenDED' ?

They announced windows phone 8's core was already tested on 64 cores I believe. It seems the platform will really be much more future-proof, as much as it can be.

Maybe you're right, but if your app doesn't use any new resources, I can compile it to run on 7.8 as well. However, the US market specifically is a bit funny, with all the discounted phones, so not many people would stay with their old phones at renewal time anyway.

I understand the technical limitations of trying to keep compatibility with older devices, but what pisses me off is Nokia and Microsoft not disclosing this earlier. I should have been able to make an informed decision before buying my Lumia 900. I guess this is still better than doing it like Apple and holding the…

Oh, and my daughter's old Focus just crapped out. Paid $50 for insurance deductible and will get a Focus S, which will run 7.8. In all, not bad.

Actually, it depends - visual studio 2012 will let you develop apps that run on 7.8, 8 or both. If you're not using any features exclusively available on the 8.0 kernel, it will run fine.

I did it for -$15 (got the credit from Nokia), but I still feel bad about it. Now I'll need to convince my wife to let me use her upgrade when it's due in february, or I'll have to wait 2 years...

I have a Lumia too, so I feel your pain. However, I understand it's not much of a choice - it's a technical limitation. Now I need to convince my wife that when her contract expires, I'll use it to get myself a new phone...

Glad to hear that. I guess they knew this release would be replaced soon, so they didnt' waste much time on it.

It already supports up to 64 cores. And the ios update for older phones is limited too - even if they call it by the same name.

Things that bing maps did better than Nokia drive (and I hope they fix):

Nicely put. But now I have to go and think of a way to convince my wife that when her plan expires I'll use it to get myself a brand-new phone.
