Windows Phone 8 GDR3

[Mo5]

Later this year, towards the November time frame, Microsoft is rumored to be releasing Windows Phone 8 General Distribution Release 3 (GDR3) along with alleged new firmware from Nokia named “Bittersweet shimmer” (originally reported by the site Nokiapoweruser). The OS update will once again enable new hardware features like advanced Qualcomm processors and 1080P display resolution, but it will also have numerous enhancements for current devices. The release will coincide with the availability of Nokia’s Lumia 1520 with a 6-inch display.

There will be many improvement but most importantly, you will be able to turn off auto-rotate

WP feels like a compromise between android and iOS

i hate the "this is what u can do and nothing more" mentality

 

this is why i dislike consoles and iOS/WP

Like how you can close applications now using the X button instead of spamming the back button in order to clear all the apps.

Finally! Basic features! I'm rushing out the door to replace my GS3 running Paranoid Android on Android 4.3 as you read this!
