We're rather snowed-under in the final throes of Awards testing at the moment so merely a matter of prioritising!

It would be an understatement (of gargantuan proportions) to say that we see more interest on the site in the iPhone compared to anything Nokia. And yet we do cover them:

And for the record, a quick scan around WHF Towers shows that we're about 50/50 in terms of iPhone and non-iPhone users. There are a few HTC handsets, a couple of Samsung phones and even a trusty (very) old... Nokia.  Smile

Read the bottom of your own link after the video. It only refers to app compatability not the new version of the operating system.

Existing windows phones will NOT be upgradable to windows 8

But this time it's different. You need a multicore phone for Windows 8. Current phones are not capable of running it properly. It's a hardware limitation.
