What makes you fantasize that WP8 will be a success? From what was announced at the WP8 convention there is nothing, I repeat, nothing that is new or cutting edge in WP8. Support for mulit-core processors, higher resolutions, micro-SD card, NFC, better multitasking, HTML 5 support, re-sizable tiles, etc., these are just playing catch up with old versions of ios and Android. Oh yes, GSMArena (the ball carrier for WP) recently announced proudly that WP8 will also have the ability to take screenshots. Are we supposed to be impressed?

Knowing Microsoft, WP8 will be a rushed job with terrible bugs and missing key features because the programmers have no time to put them in. And don't forget it may be given the middle finger by existing WP7 users who have been abandoned just as Windows Mobile users gave WP7 the middle finger after being abandoned earlier.
