This says it all: http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/e...one-8-detailed

Stuff that is coming there means that it lacks that functionality now. What is Nokia thinking?
So true! Here are some things that Windows Phail 7 lacks:
  • support for multicore processors
  • Choice of screen resolutions
  • removable microSD card
  • NFC radios
  • "contactless payments"
  • capability to be carrier-branded and controlled
  • share capabilities ... accross multiple platforms (surely not Linux, right?)
  • Allow developers to reuse desktop applications code.
  • Dropping Zune and back to ActiveSync.
  • Integration with MS version of DropBox, Skydrive
  • Skype integration
  • basic camera interface (API?)
  • tracking of data usage
  • attempt to give Wi-Fi connections precedence
  • planned use of a proxy server to feed pages to Internet Explorer 10 (BigBrother?)
  • BitLocker encryption

Still not Qt integration. Still no Python port. Yawn.
