He is probably waiting for the Windows 8 Phones.  The Win 7 phone is very nice, but is missing a few things, like a forward facing camera - for Skype.  That I'm pretty sure will be in the Windows 8 phone.

And the current Windows 7 phones are not upgradable to 8, just 7.8.

Plus isn't the Nokia one only $99? or was that a special.

Most current WP7 devices (Samsung Focus S, HTC Titan (1 and 2), Nokia Lumia 900, HTC Radar) have front facing cameras. In fact, I'll go on a limb and say that the Nokia Lumia 900 has arguably the best front facing camera of any phone.

Ah, you are correct.  I remember techies complaining about something, and thought it was missing the forward camera.  Hmm, I wonder what it is that will be in Winows 8 phones, that is beyond the specifications for current Windows 7 phones.

I have thought of replacing my HTC with the Nokia 900, but 6 more months on my contract.

Looking it up - oh, wow, it's almost a 'mini laptop' and at 2gb RAM will have 4 times the memory of the Xbox 360!   I found it here: http://exploredia.com/windows-8-phone-release-datefeatures-and-specs/
