Price & Availability

No front facing camera, only 512MB of RAM, and no dual core processor means HTC can get f*cked. When are OEMs going to start releasing Windows Phones with specs that people want? Give us dual core, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of memory,
What people want and complain about when not having, but at the same time don’t emphasize the need for it before hand, is battery life. The computing power in smartphones over the last couple years has gone up significantly while the battery life has been getting worse. What’s the point of having a FAST phone if you need to stay by the power outlet to keep using it. As time goes by smartphones will become even more like laptops – high computing power, portability and a couple hours of autonomous operation.
