Own the update process

Get the carriers and manufacturers out of the update process. Carriers should not be allowed to arbitrarily block updates.

Update smartphone with Windows Phone 7.5 to Windows Phone 8 (Apollo).

It will be very very important to update all the Windows Phone 7.5 smartphones to the next update Windows Phone 8. Lots of people who decided to belive in your amazing OS will leave it otherwise. If you will not update to WP8 it will be a tremendous own goal. Many people (and me as well) were waiting the new Lumia 900 to buy it, but now, that many websites say that it will not be updated, we are no longer thinking about it. You will need to give us an assurence that we will not buy a smartphone that will be old in less than 6 months.

The HTC Radar benefits from this update!

HTC radar will not benefit from putting WP 7.8 then he has all the capabilities and equipment! Why not give him a chance, just like the HTC Titan?
