Nokia sheds light on latest Lumia

Re: Lumiaimpressions

@DrXym: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are capitalized on the settings menu b/c they are trade names. The rest of the menu items are not. The menu system is quite consistent and looks very good. Luckily Microsoft put a lot more time into it than you did for your post. Not sure where your comment about app settings comes from given that just about every app has an in-app settings menu. General system settings that affect more than one app are found on the system settings screen (I know, complicated isn't it?)

Background downloading (as mentioned by others) is supported and is up to the developer to implement.

"The market place is also afflicted by a dearth of decent apps..." ?! Are you reading from a script here? Did you even bother to look?

"...but really it doesn't offer any compelling features of its own." More from the script. Beautifully streamlined interface with extremely well integrated social features. XBOX live integration, office integration, live tiles...no nothing unique or compelling here.

"I can see users who are intimidated by Android might feel more comfortable with this OS" Ah, another way of saying it's only good for the non tech savy. Why not put it this way: if you would like your phone to work for you instead of the other way around, if you would like to get things done with your phone instead of spending all day killing tasks, re-starting your phone, and endless re-charging then you should give Windows Phone a try.

Meh

Nice helping of hypocrisy

"Identifying the attackers without carrying out a comprehensive investigation and making inferences about the attackers is both unprofessional and irresponsible"

The ONCIX report WAS based on a rather large investigation, perhaps he should read the report. Bit ironic that he provides no evidence to counter the claims.
