After several long months of contradicting rumors, the owners of the current crop of WPsmartphones finally got official information regarding the eligibility of their devices for a WP8 upgrade. Sadly, the answer Microsoft delivered isn't the one we were all hoping for.
It was confirmed that the just announced Windows Phone 8 won't be coming to any of the existing WP smartphones. The reasons for this are yet unclear, with some pointing to the limited hardwareand others speculating it's just an attempt by Microsoft to make users upgrade.
The consolation is that even if you don't change smartphones, at least some of the cool WindowsPhone 8 features will be made available to you. Microsoft will be treating legacy hardware to a Windows Phone 7.8, which will enable the resizable live tiles as well as a few other features that weren't explicitly mentioned.
