nah directX support temtping but they never yet reach the standard of PC gaming especially dual core + 1GB ram

Why the heck is HTC given the lead role in wp8 launch? Is it because Nokia fell asleep again? The 8X is touted as the 'signature' WP8 experience. Even wpcentral is using 8X for their WP8 review.

Kinda noob question, but can we transfer files using NFC with another phone of different platfom, but with NFC?

Nfc is still blue tooth transfer.

Nfc just speed up connect but transfer still use bluetooth. So if bluetooth transfer not supported than nfc could be for tagging and maybe payment gateway

Bluetooth file transfer is very much supported on WP8. Just not on WP7.8 / 7.5.

Pocketnow is saying it supports photos, pdf, documents transfer but not songs.
Can't wait for 920 hands on, right now it's all 8X.

nfc lah

Recent announcement just made me hold back to get WP8 but the directx support sure is tempting, imagine your PC games running on WP8, I'm seeing some potential here.

Nokia delay too long. I phone announce later already out. Nokia still no news.

Worse after delay very long when officially out wil have ton of bugs and isissue

review from gsmarena didn't mention nfc file transfer leh.... nfc for e-wallet only....

yup same like those song cds which won't let ppl make copies of it. By right though, we if we bought it, it's up to us what to do with it as long as we don't sell it. But this is a different matter altogether.

another thing that catches my attention is smart dialing is still missing.

What do u mean by smart dialing?

Like press and hold a number then it will auto dial to the person?

If that's the feature you're talking about, then it already exists. It's called tiles. You pin the "smart dial person" to start, tap, call. It's even faster than smart dial on Android where you need to bring up the keypad and press & hold.

Smart Dialing basically lets you find and dial a specific contact in a few very easy steps, by filtering out Contacts on your Device (both Outlook and SIM). Let’s say I want to call Brandon, what do I do? I birng up the Dialpad and I start typing once the numbers of the letters that correspond to Brandon: 2 for B, 7 for R, 2 for B, just like T9. As I keep typing in the numbers, Smart Dialing keeps filtering out my Contacts one by one, as soon as I enter information just to let me with one Contact filtered at the end: the one that matches my criteria of “Bra” (“272″).

No that's speed dialing.
Not a deal breaker to me but a very useful feature, especially considering how lazy I am
