YOU'RE TEARING ME APART JOE

 

[Stumpokapow]

iMessage but better.

Where's the "but better" part?

 

[hwalker84]

Fuck Microsoft and Nokia

Nokia Lumia 920 ships today as EE exclusive: bad for WP8?

There better me a SIM free version.

I hope its available to ship today for the US.

 

[f0lken]

MS should have been the one forced to cancel the event and announce everything on its website instead of Google, this just went from boring to stupid to embarrasing

 

[StudioTan]

Rooms sounds pretty cool.

 

[Troll]

Organic bread? Stfu.

"Not everyone has one, and not everyone will get one." That just sounds bad, Joe.

 

[kharma45]

Yeah, fuck that. Thanks to EE's ridiculous, nay, fucking appalling tariffs, there's no way in hell I'm going to go with them.

Yeah the prices are a joke.

 

[plagiarize]

Rooms might sound silly, but imo it's really cool in use.

ooh yeah, that looks cool. my wife is a WP7 fan, so she'll be going WP8 when her phone upgrade comes around.

 

[Psychotext]

Seems like a good idea. Taking into account that people (most people) use other phones.

 

[Heretic]

Rooms sounds pretty cool, so long as everyone in the group has a Windows Phone (Which is unlikely). But I like the idea.

He just proved you wrong

 

[Troll]

Where's the "but better" part?

Cross platform.

 

[dragonelite]

"See this kid I'm holding here? I'm going to drop it, even though everyone told me not to."

Dat panos almost made me preorder a surface.

 

[kazinova]

Joe has been talking for 45min straight. Get him some relief!

 

[TylerD]

I matter most in my life.

 

[derFeef]

One more thing already.

 

[GK86]

I like this room feature.

 

[Milchjon]

Regular people don't use one note

It's pretty nice on WP and in the Windows ecosystem.

Rooms sounds pretty cool, so long as everyone in the group has a Windows Phone (Which is unlikely). But I like the idea.

Works together with non WP phones.

 

[VanMardigan]

Never before have so many awesome features been presented so poorly.

 

[Monumental]

You guys are seriously jaded if you think the new live lockscreen, kids corner, and the Rooms (holy shit synchornized chat/notes/location), are not really awesome features.

These little things are what make the phone a joy to use.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I want to like windows phone so bad but I just don't for some reason. I'm not sure why. I think it's the obsession with people. All these pics of people, what people are up to, people this people that. TBH I'd rather my phone be obsessed with apps, rather than the focus be on people.

 

[Technosteve]

is windows phone 8 based on the windows 8 RT code base or still based on windows 6.5 code base.

 

[f0lken]

Where's the "but better" part?

If they get it to android it will be better just for the increased userbase

We'r not complaining about the (already old and leaked) features, but ...

Never before have so many awesome features been presented so poorly.

 

[Troll]

Joe's fired.

 

[Everdred]

is windows phone 8 based on the windows 8 RT code base or still based on windows 6.5 code base.

RT I believe.

 

[Klocker]

omh Joe... you are talking way too much.... too much fluff.... details! give us the details!

 

[CrunchinJelly]

My wife and I.

 

[Milchjon]

is windows phone 8 based on the windows 8 RT code base or still based on windows 6.5 code base.

Windows 8 kernel.

But why would you even care.

 

[brotkasten]

is windows phone 8 based on the windows 8 RT code base or still based on windows 6.5 code base.

It's based on Android 2.3.

 

[Psychotext]

Hmm... I could make use of voice notes. I seem to be using onenote all the time.

 

[VanMardigan]

is windows phone 8 based on the windows 8 RT code base or still based on windows 6.5 code base.

Shared kernel with RT.

 

[Heretic]

If they get it to android it will be better just for the increased userbase

It's cross-platform

 

[JaggedSac]

Thanks Joe, no one has ever understood the implications of cloud storage before.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Never before have so many awesome features been presented so poorly.

Yep.

 

[eznark]

Who needs instagram?

 

[Betta Lines]

The line in the middle of those two screens on stage is really annoying.

 

[hwalker84]

is windows phone 8 based on the windows 8 RT code base or still based on windows 6.5 code base.

Its based of the Windows NT kernel and shares code with Windows 8

Live Lock Screens are cool.
Rooms, also cool.
Data Manager, cool.
Kid Sense, alright but not nearly a killer app.

But they:
1. Were leaked and are no longer a surprise.
2. Have been presented poorly.
3. Aren't enough. There should be more. Though of course the presentation isn't over yet, of course.

 

[HollovVpo1nt]

is windows phone 8 based on the windows 8 RT code base or still based on windows 6.5 code base.

Windows 8 code base.

 

[orbkeller]

You know what's wrong with this presentation? None of it makes any sense.

 

[Angelus Errare]

I swear they're using an applause sound effect.

 

[show me your skeleton]

should've been 8 gigs of storage free. 8 gigs. 8.
windows 8 phone 8.

8.

 

[Anton Sugar]

Make no mistake, I'm still psyched about WP8, but this presentation is far from their best.

 

[Milchjon]

Should have just sent out a printed letter with bullet points.

Most disappointing event ever.

 

[JaggedSac]

I swear they're using an applause sound effect.

That is people slapping themselves to stay awake.

 

[Totakeke]

The only way to save this presentation is showing a Microsoft phone.

 

[derFeef]

I am sad that this is poor. Will love the OS, but it will not convince anyone again.

 

[buhdeh]

Should have just sent out a printed letter with bullet points.

Most disappointing event ever.

Yeah seriously... even a 0.1 update like Android 4.2 had more noteworthy features.

 

[kazinova]

That is people slapping themselves to stay awake.

LOLOLOLOL

 

[Wessiej]

It's like spotify!
