I'm not sure the dual core was the sole reason for WP8 OS not being put on current phones. Besides, they didn't say it was a WP8 device. It could very well be WP7.8, too.

Looks like the lack of stating the 810 is dual core, is an oversight on the editor's part. According to Cnet, the 810 is 1.5 dual core. Just happened to read an article on the hands on, of this phone.

What I heard is that with 7.8 you get every feature of Windows 8 except three which are simply not compatible...so that's about 90% or more of Windows 8....which is not bad...
