Windows 8's Metro interface is more suitable for touch input. The desktop interface has been improved slightly, so it's better to use than Windows 7.

I think the whole issue of switching between Metro and Aero has been blown entirely out of proportion. Sure it can be quite distracting when you want to search for apps (because you gotta go back to Metro to use the default Start Search function), but that's about it. In the millions of other ways you could use the OS, it doesn't affect usability at all.

yes, still works fine in desktop mode...even a little better now i say, ability to snap in one metro app on the side bar and in desktop snap 2 windows side by side smile.gif

i think once we get used to the metro interface, it will all be fine. im sure it will just seem like the cover to a book, just go into desktop mode and there you get your familiar aero

i really wouldn't mind upgrading to windows 8 when it releases

NODO trick:
1) On your phone, go to Setting->Network Connection. Disable your Data Connection. Disable your WiFi too if it is connected.
2) Connect your phone to the computer via USB. Zune will automatically detect your phone. Go to your Phone Settings in Zune. Look for the UPDATE button in the list.
3) Now, here is the important part, which wasn't clearly explained in a lot of tutorial. Get a stopwatch/timer, click UPDATE. Depending on your network speed, it will prompt that your phone is already in most updated version. Lets says the time it took to detect the update version is 7 seconds.
4) Click cancel. Then click UPDATE again. Unplug your LAN cable (or disable WiFi if you are on wireless) after 5-6.5 seconds you clicked UPDATE. Zune will continue to check for update. If you timed it well, it will prompt that there is a new OS version.
5) REMEMBER, replug in your LAN cable/WiFi. Then click Update and wait patiently. It will take around 15 minutes per update. It will update from 8107 -> 8112. Then redo Step 4, you will get 8773. All these were only OS update. After updated to 8773, let Zune continue to look for new software, you will get Nokia firmware update automatically. This is for the FW version 1750.0805.8773.12220 for Malaysia unlock set.

You may to try Step 4 a lot of times....it needs a lot of patience. You need to switch off your Internet connection around 1s before you it says no update. I was about to give up last night, until the very last try, I got the new update prompt.  laugh.gif

The reason behind this method could be due to Microsoft's way of distributing update. They are implementing "throttling" update, which means only selected number of phones (means random) will get the update prompt. This number will be increased from time to time. If you notice the first time you do Step 3, Zune will pull around ~500KB data before it says you do not have update. I suspect the server is sending a flag (at the very end of step 3) to our Zune to say it does not have update, when in fact it has....just that they are randomly sent. By disabling your network, your Zune did not get that flag.  thumbup.gif

im using lumia 710, update using nodo method, camera extras working fine for me. It could be your region settings since its supposed to be available for China and the US only for now. However my phone region is set to Singapore and it still works so hmm.gif
