Have you tried WP 8.1

It's a huge step in the right direction. The new start menu is a big improvement.

Doh. Sorry. I updated to both W8.1 and WP8.1 and for some reason I thought the OP was asking about W8.1. Be prepared to wait for a very long time while your updated to WP8.1 takes place - it's a fairly major rewrite so it takes a long time to install. Cortana is very good and she doesn't have too much trouble with my accent which is a major advancement over Siri.

Great, but have they actually solved the dilemma of File Explorer/Manager or it's just a deeper integration of OneDrive?

I admire your optimism.

Being old school, I read the title and thought Word Perfect.

I've signed up for Developer Preview so I was able to update my Lumia 720 to WP 8.1 last night. The update was in two steps, a small update that took few minutes to download and update that 'readied' the phone to 8.1 and then a huge update that took more than an hour. Overall, the new WP 8.1 is terrific. Pros: 1. New Start Screen with more tiles (six small blocks across insead of 4) and an option to set a background image. 2. Option to install new apps and move existing apps to SD Card. 3. Phone + Skype integration: You can convert you normal phone call to a Skype video call 4. Music & Videos has been separated into separate hubs. 5. Action Center for viewing common settings and notifications by swiping from top to bottom. Cons: 1. No Cortana for Non-US residents.
