Who knows this better than Samsung ? , after being screwed up by Apple and coughing up 1+BnUS$. hahaMoreover all manufactures have the habit of adding a UI layer on top and their own apps so cost is mainly for R&D.
yea! it sounds really cool! As microsoft planned for the one OS and apps policy for tab, cell, and PC in near future. So, its the good beginning by windows 8.
Those days are already passed...Now see whats in present...When You got Droid which can never be beaten in customization<Custom Roms...> and even iDevices owners (except some guyz) also Jail break their devices ....Why? cuz they want full control over their devices..n in WP7(currently in market) are completely locked out... No custom ROMs etc..u only got few settings to play with and same will be done with WP8 devices(Restriction with some few more customizations)...Even I got boored after a week working in it(on HP Tablet PC <TouchScreen> and Sammy)...Limited to few customization and over..Now plz dont say that "The problem is it ain't Droid, Its WP8" .... So as apple fans do- pay loyal fees to apple n get iDevice doesn't work always..Can you expect under clocking or OC'ing the CPU in ur Mobile or Tablet(Who knows better than u ...u got CM9 on ur Dell XCD35 )...

^^^+1Not everybody looks for customizations
Some people(common people not tech enthusiasts) like it to be used as a phone is meant to be used...
Moreover nokia means better reliable hardware
Besides WP8 is targeted to capture iOS users and not Andriod
Check youtube for benchmarks. I'm Not a fanboi.... Don't u feel ur device is out dated...with WP7.5? WP7.8 is last and then its dumped...ok..I've been using omnia W for 4 months now, and it's as smooth as I expected. I'm not sure how the 710 with the same RAM and proccy spec can lag; maybe that's a faulty piece? Cos there are a few 710 user in our campus, never heard them complain about lag tbh.
You call metro UI as eye candy while many others consider it extremely useful and a refreshing change from the 1000s of identical looking droid UIs.
and the bold part just gave you away...man I've been following this forum for quite sometime now, and I'm tired seeing every windows phone thread being hijacked by some android fanboys. If you are so bored with WP, why bother commenting on them?
Call us crazy, but some of us really don't have that much time to fiddle around with our phones (C Roms and millions of apps). WP provides a stable, smooth experience with almost all the apps needed for daily use.Why don't we just appreciate it for once?
Okay...seems like I am integrating droid in WP8.. SOrry..Not everybody looks for customizations

i think 920 is replacing 900 (which was never released here) and 820 is replacing 800. 710 will remain as it is, as of now. but the kind of resolution it has and if it really packs Pureview tech (no idea what kind of enhancement will work on 8MP camera), no way can it sell for less than 25k.
please do a bit of googling. Krait is better than tegra 3. it murders Exynos 4 Quads. and the 600Mhz processor on Explorer murders the 1Ghz on the Asha crap mobiles. its not about just clockspeed. you'll know better as nowadays mobiles have evolved to computer/laptop level including the processor design methodology.
