I'll admit that the Lumia does become an attractive phone when under the £150 mark.

Too bad those prices have yet to fully extend to the US - 489.99 USD at Expansys.
Amazon has a few from retailers that aren't fulfilled by Amazon - that equates to "not trusted" for the most part.

Microsoft have enough cash to push WP in the long-term, but they will not be able to put out the fire which is burning Nokia to death.

Seriously. Either you are the most daft person I've ever seen or the most successful astro-turfer I've ever seen.

But core upgrades happened regardless. 7.5 to 7.8 is not a full upgrade. It's only the start screen. Perhaps some tweaks to IE. For what it is worth, it's a half-*** update. The Lumia 800 enjoyed a full upgrade to 7.5 from 7.x (can't remember the exact number). And from there, it'll get the aforesaid half-*** update to 7.8 but never to 8.0.
That's horrible no matter however you wish to spin it.

To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people! I've known sheep that could outwit you. I've worn dresses with higher IQs. But you think you're an intellectual, don't you, ape?
