There are working on filling up the apps store with 100 locally made apps by our own Malaysia developers under the icon smart partnership . You should be able to see under Nokia highlights/ icon. The numbers of locally made apps are flooding in right now.

While apps do matter, it's not so much of a deal breaker as the lack of features.

I once approached a company (name confidential) with 20+ men with the intent to sell a full package to them, a web service that runs on web (obviously), desktop and mobile app (I'm a MSFT guy, so WinPhone it is). I tried to get them to adopt Lumia 620 (for staff), Lumia 820 / 920 (for execs). The deal didn't materialize.

Why? Lack of features. I demonstrated a lot of features using my 920 back then, and then I let the top execs get their hands on it. The very first question one of them asked, how to attach documents through emails. I showed them, but they were dumbfounded .... It could only attach one doc per email. Seriously? Back then, there was only PDF Reader from MSFT. Again, how to attach PDF, I was screwed.

I demonstrated an alternative, through the use of SkyDrive, but they didn't buy the idea. Next up, the IT guy asked, how to set static IP? Again, I couldn't answer. Corporates sometimes don't just rely on DHCP to do the job. They have specific IP for each device that connects to the network for administrative purposes.

These are very important features, yet, to date, still nowhere to be found. WP, to date, is still very much a commercial phone, not recommended for enterprise use. Had they included those features, imagine how many companies service providers like me could approach? Imagine how many companies are already using Windows Phone right now?

Nice perspective.

with price in uk german china and aus,.like rm2500-3000...probably i have to wait a little bit, until the excitement goes down and the price below 2k.

wow a very deep insight into WP for Enterprise

I had the idea of compiling the local apps into a thread and let them shine and perhaps comments on it so that the developers of those app at least have some deep insights on how to improve.

I still remember Nokia company paying 3 figures money for those students who successfully submitted their assignment apps to the Ovi store.

jon, *pats shoulder*

All we can do is ask and hope for the best for WP8. Someday those features will be implemented or perhaps a better solution will come out.

even L920 can't survive longer if using camera too much

dunno bout you guys but,
this video makes the white L1020 looks TOO DAYMN SEXY!!!

I've moved on to something else until WP catches up

Is it wrong that I want to buy this so I can call airstrike with my phone while playing XBone?

well now ICON3 programs is running, u see more local apps developed.

Nice, I wasn't aware of the ICON3 programs.

Thanks for noticing.

Will be featuring a thread with local apps when I have the time.

strong camera competition from Honami and to a certain extent Note III (camera + all inclusive package). How well will the 1020 stack up ? Will 1020 still be marketed (and priced) as a niche device ? Hope not. And great news on the local app support from MSFT.

jonchai, the other mobile ecosystems support the features you mentioned ? I'm a pure Symbian user, and my other IOS and Android friends are all normal users, so i have no insight on the enterprise aspects of those.

Yes, they do

will L1020 price goes below rm2.1k? since note3 price will below rm2.4k.

doubt it

if you wanna kick this off, i can supply u the channels.

Indeed. Before WP8, it's worst. I really cannot believe it's an OS from Microsoft.
