An unnamed source revealed purported details of the devices to My Nokia Blog. The Lumia 520 will apparently sport a 4-inch Super Sensitive touch screen, a 1 GHz dual-core processor, 512 MB of RAM, 8 GB of storage, a microSD card slot and a front-facing 5-megapixel camera. The smartphone will reportedly run on Windows Phone 8.

The higher-end 720 is said to feature a 4.3-inch screen that utilizes Nokia's ClearBlack display. It's powered by a 1 GHz dual-core chip, 512 MB of RAM, 8 GB of storage, a microSD card slot, a 6-megapixel rear camera and a front-facing 2-megapixel snapper. It'll also have Windows Phone 8 as its platform.

Windows Phone 8 and Outlook

I am coming up on the end of my contract for my work phone. Since it has tweo main functions---calls and reading and sending email I was seriously considering a Windows Phone 8. However I am hearing a lot of anecdotes telling me that the WP 8 platform is not rally all that grat for email.


I supect that there area few WP 8 users here and maybe a few ex users as well. Do you think it plays well with Outlook. I have to say I thought that this was the one area where WP 8 would likely excel.

They are intended as lowend devices.

Reasoning that Microsoft can reliably handle e-mail is not a good starting point. If it were easy, Blackberry would have disappeared years ago.

There is something decidedly wrong when an enterprise begs for a dedicated e-mail server and administrator(s) for same. Having said that, it has been almost a month since I got my last winmail.dat file.

So you are saying that WP 8 is not so great at this?

I'm saying don't expect it to be great.

 

[Peter Parker]

So does anyone have experience with a WP 8 phone and email they would like to share?

Nothing besides using basic gmail. Sorry. If it means anything that works fine lol.

Geronimo, I'll check with one of my colleagues and try to post back here if I get any useful information.

 

[Peter Parker]

Thanks guys. Any actual experience is useful.

I'll get it when I can. The guy that uses the WP8 phone is home sick with the norovirus (Stomach Flu) that's going around. Not good!

Why would this suddenly catapult WP8 into the ranks of relevance? Even with all this push, IIRC, market share has gone down.
