Support NeoGAF

[Milchjon]

im still holding out for a megaton....am i the only one?

Maybe my imagination isn't my strongest suit, but I don't see a lot they could surprise us with, apart from maybe a Surface Phone, which would be rather idiotic at this point.

A few neat apps they should have had months ago is the best I'm hoping for right now.

Are you guys able to sign-in into WindowsPhone.com?

yes

No problem here.

They will come with an awesome suprise that will floor ewerybody, otherwise the not saying anything approach would just have been stupid.

I have no idea about what it should be though... One could dream of bluestacks built in or something equally megafon...

I think the Canadian site may be down.

Doesn't seem to be.

 

[Blackhead]

*sigh* did Troll really have to be the one to create the OP?

Anyway, looking forward to the event. *fingers crossed* Microsoft doesn't fuck this up

For some reason on my Windows 8 machine when I go to the page it does the auto sign-in and it won't work. Started my laptop and it is fine. Strange.

 

[Anton Sugar]

White doesn't look half bad.

 

[brotkasten]

Whats the ETA? 1 hour, right?

Yes.

That's going to take a while.

Yellow Lumia 920 always looks great in press shots, but I still wonder what it would look like using it as an everyday device. Might be way too flashy.

Haha, same here. I'd like to get the red or yellow in theory but just know I'd be bored, then self-conscious, with the color after a week. If I were getting an 820 I'd buy all the different colored covers but for the 920 I might stodgily go for grey or black.

 

[alphaNoid]

I'm giving up Android for a HTC 8X

 

[Troll]

A while as in after this event? Because that's what I'm thinking.

e: The guy I know that's there has been hanging out in front of the place since 7 this morning. He doesn't even appreciate it.

Cyan is great, though. I sometimes forget how great my 800 looks, and then I see it lying somewhere and still go "wow".

No.

My Nexus is still doing fine, Android 4.2 is around the corner and I just spend money on a much more important iPad 4.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

You know what is ugly, the Nexus 4.

 

[Troll]

No.

I might buy an iPad 4. You got to let me know if it's good. Are you coming from a 2 or a 3?

 

[kazinova]

That's going to take a while.

Let's be brutally honest here: in ~2 hours you'll probably be able to burn the bridge behind you. "No reason to go back to that island of red-headed step children!"

 

[show me your skeleton]

my predictions:

• no more wp7.8
• every wp7 is getting updated to wp8
• surface phone
• evilore announces official neogaf app exclusively on wp8
• any disgrunteled iphone 5 can exchange their phone for any wp8 product
• halo 2 anniversary ONLY on wp8
• bees!

Actually, I'm coming from the OG iPad (again). I bought a 3rd gen model at launch and left it in a cab two months later. I'm sure I deserved it. Somehow. If I still had the 3rd gen, I'd probably not even look at the 4.

LOL, I'm glad you organized that in order of ridiculousness from low to high.

Where is Van?

 

[brotkasten]

Also, fuck Nokia for the three 8xx models with minor changes.

Where is Van?

Probably sitting in a corner and getting drunk.

I have a 2. If I'm being totally honest I never really use it, I just like new things. I'm still getting my 920, Surface pro and whatever else may catch my attention in tech so I've been trying to talk myself out of it.

Where is Van?

His Toshiba probably runs Vista and it BSOD'd on him already.

I am still on a OG iPad waiting for Surface Pro / next gen Surface RT or 5th gen iPad next year. If I could do WP8 with Surface Pro I think that would be pretty great.

If the yellow (and the red for that matter) were in a matte finish, then I'd be happy to get the yellow/red.

Currently deciding between the black or grey...provided they release the 920 in the UK on more than just the shitty* EE network.

*Terrible tariffs.

I concur.

 

[Troll]

So fucking jealous right now.

 

[derFeef]

Is that from your mate?

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Wonder if lastflowers is there?

 

[Troll]

Is that from your mate?

Yes, the jerk has met Ballmer. I'll post more as he sends them.

 

[Milchjon]

Man, Google is killing it with those prices right now. Nexus 4 unlocked 16GB for $349 is nice, even if it's ugly.

(Nexus 7 with 32GB/cellular for $299 when the closest iPad Mini is $559 is just

)

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Joe is supposed to be talking now.

 

[show me your skeleton]

you doubt we're getting bees? well, fuck that i'm off to the android community.

I'll ask him right now to get Joe.

Enjoy Honeycomb, most Android phones are probably still running it

 

[Steelyuhas]

Insert 'wait for Apollo' joke for the last time here.

 

[derFeef]

Things should be kicking off soon, but Microsoft might be delayed just a tad.

Never change MS.

edit: music kicked in

 

[kazinova]

I suppose everyone has their breaking point, LOL.

I'm just hoping the cyan Lumia 920 matches my cyan Touch Cover. The Lumia 900 totally doesn't match the cover.

 

[Troll]

This is some awesome guitar music.

 

[HollovVpo1nt]

Honeycomb was a tablet OS. AFAIK no phone shipped with honeycomb are were updated to honeycomb.

Whats the ETA guys?

 

[Milchjon]

Android 4.2 looks rather nice. MS still needs to get up to speed with WP.

Edit: I want gesture typing. I want Google Now. Hrrrrm.

 

[Psychotext]

Do we have any clue when 7.8 is supposed to be coming, or is it likely to be announced today?
