I think Nokia/WP 7.X is nothing but a stop gap solution until WP 8 comes along with NT kernel. The current line up of Lumias has proven not to be competitive, and Nokia/MS has to do some real changes no matter what. WP8 is a huge step in the right direction, but even that may not be enough, or it may be too late.

Spec, apps, updates and a good design is what is needed. The Lumias got a good design, that's all. Updates is irrelevant as long as the Lumias lack specs and apps.

A no nonsense quad core ARM or dual core Atom, 1.5+ GHz, PureView camera and 4.5 inch CB Amoled running on Apollo would do. Anything less will not do it today, the Androids will eat it for lunch.
