I got a Lumia 800 as a replacement for Mozart last week. The kicker will be to see how much difference there is between 7.8 & 8. If it's mostly hardware driven (eg: core speeds & resolution) then there's not really any point worrying about jumping it at the wrong time. Also, it's not out yet. We've still got a few months of having 'current' gear.
