They must be sharing PR firms with Nokia.
Nokia scores Chinas largest carrier for the Nokia Lumia 920
They are the ones that still don't support the iPhone, definitely good news.

I know, they're not tooo far from NYC, but for an urban carless person such as me they're very far

No. That is fucking good news. If they were still deciding on features it would be fucked.
They are hopefully getting it ready for release now.

7.8 was always scheduled for "sometime after Windows Phone 8".
....Seriously?
I know someone recently asked how pocketnow is. I just wanted to share one of the ridiculous articles that make the blog so annoying to me.
Will Nokia Eat its Jelly Bean Tweet?
Terrible, these small time blogs need to stick to the news. Or maybe I'm just an angry person

Welp, that was embarrassing to read.

Oh.. Wow. No, you're not just angry. That piece is just sad.
That's great news. Maybe China can keep Nokia alive when the Lumias tank in the US
According to a few anecdotal accounts Windows Phone is doing okay in China. Now all they need to do is get that carrier to want to sell Windows Phones.

680 Million customers!!!
That's more than DOUBLE the population of the U.S.A!!
Ouch. Sorry, man.
It's official :*(
Well, I still have one year left on my contract, anyway. But full price for an unlocked phone will put a dent in my budget...

Yes.
My cousin lost the Windows phone challenge yesterday (he has a GSM GNexus). They proudly explained why the Win phone was a great alternative for him, and why its much faster at doing the things he lost the contest doing. When they finished, they gave him $25 dollars, he left the store, and bought a few songs on the playstore.

Wow, that story almost made me delete my own OP.

oooh, does that mean they could have a VZW/Sprint version already up and running?
they're not saying anything new. many salesmen have said that they could have sold a ton of Lumias if they ran Android... the demand is there. Microsoft burned too many bridges, some people got burned twice in a row!

Nokia would have been dead by now if they had gone android.
Dead tired of selling so many phones.

Because if I use my Samsung Focus for music for more than two hours I cannot make it to the end of the day. I've been using my PlayBook when travelling but wouldn't mind something smaller and with iOS apps.
wait until we discover out how much ram it has before declaring it equivalent.

me too. im fighting list wars. and i enjoy it.
There's way too much FUD out there. Amazing.
Oh, God. I've just stumbled across the phone os war thread.
Where is it...so we can avoid it?
Haha, so far it's mostly a WP circle jerk anyway. But there's still some misinformation in there.

Ahh, that thread ain't half bad, and yeah right now it looks like more of the posters there are veering toward the 920. That can't be right. 4%!
Not that bad besides coldfoot talking nonsense as always about Windows Phone. At least he (or she) should research before pulling false information out of nowhere.
There's an amazing parallel growing between Android/iOS users talking about how they don't care about WP8 because they're too busy using fun apps and playing games and the era of people saying they didn't care about Macs because they were too busy playing sweet games and using tons of apps on Windows XP...
So. I went crazy and bought a Nokia Lumia 800. I'm not an early phone adopter so I can live with the upcoming overshadowing of WP7. And I'm absolutely loving it, that's coming from an iPod Touch and Android tablet owner. It's so simple, clean and useful, I'm getting used to Zune and it's pretty okay, some games are actually decent (I'm a huge phone game skeptic), overall it's the best phone I've owned.
WTF at your contact list being plagued by all your MSN contacts, though. I'm glad I noticed early, I had to reset my phone and create a new Windows Live account especially for my phone. No big deal, I guess.

welcome. some of my fave games i'd recommend are crimson dragoon, don pachi, Ilimilo, etc
I'll admit - it drives me crazy when a decent game gets affected by having to fight against bad touch controls. Oh man, Lode Runner Classic. But Crimson Dragon plays okay, I'll definitely buy it (and it's $1 I think, how can I possibly resist?). It's nice that you can try pretty much every game before buying.

It's your Live account contact, at first I was really annoy but it actually bice to have all contact in one place and learn to get rid of those I don't need.

Make a group called 'family,' and pin your family to it. Make another group including your close friends.
I rarely use my contacts list, because most of the people I actually care to contact with are in special groups, and I have those group live tiles on the start-screen.
EDIT: That being said, a 10 year old account and its subsequent usernames would definitely be annoying

You could of just filtered it, it sounds like MSN wasn't your primary location for contacts, so use the settings option in people and switch MSN off, the contacts are still available for the OS to see but it doesn't display them in the list.
