No. This phone can be updated to 7.8 which adds up to functions but not anywhere near to windows phone 8. Consider Nokia Lumia model line.

The others were windows 8, but that could change any time. Upgrading only requires a decent internet connection - the download is almost 4GB. It's free.If the upgrade doesn't show up right away in the windows store, install all of the windows updates you can install until there aren't any more. It should show up in the store as a part of the windows updates.

Hi, Yes the phone comes with Windows Phone S.O installed so you can download it from marketplace in the phone, only with your live account or hotmail account.

Yes. I successfully upgraded the laptop to Windows 8.1 as soon as I got it. You need to go to the Windows Store and it will upgrade the OS to 8.1 free of charge.

You can sign up as a windows phone developer and or developer unlock the phone, then you get whatever the pre release OS version is at any time. Currently my Lumia 1020 is running 8.10.12397.895 and I've had 3 updates to windows phone 8.1 in the last few monthsthe developer page for sign up is here:https://dev.windowsphone.com/en-us/develop/devpreviewits very easy

Yes it can be upgraded. In order to use windows app store fully you have to upgrade

Yes you should be able to upgrade it - but our business apps require us to have Windows 7 pro. I don't see why it wouldn't work with Win8+. I'd suggest doing an upgrade instead of a fresh install to keep your drivers, but suggest you go to Samsung's website if any drivers don't carry over.

I am not sure but I would advice not getting this phone. I personally am not a fan of the windows phone but that is my personal opinion

You can upgrade, but you will lose your system settings and programs. This is assuming you have an x64 system. Honesty I would recommend backing up your personal data and any paid programs serials codes to an external drive and do a fresh install. Without ever using Win7 you will have to get used to the transitions to Win8. Last of all, if you have an older PC, it might be worth while to upgrade to a new x64 system that comes with Win8. You would surprised how much $500 can get you. Hope this was helpful. Feel free to reply with any other questions.

No, because you need a chip from t-mobile, and the phone doesn't have the port for the chip. As least I am pretty sure it doesn't. I don't really use the phone anymore since I have a windows 8 phone. I will check, but I am 99.9% sure it doesn't have the port for it.

Downloads, including the OS upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 can be found on Asus' support site: http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

No - so you cannot take advantage of the Windows 8 touch-screen functionalities on this laptop

My buddy has Windows 8 and Samsung or Microsoft is telling him he waited too long to upgrade, so their may be a time limit depending on who built your unit.

No you don't - but if you are upgrading you could also upgrade to Win 7 or 8 OS

It's Windows 8, not Windows 8 Professional. So it can't be downgraded to Windows 7, if that's what you're looking for.
