Looks like Microsoft is making the Zune Pass available to other countries.
Brazil and Austria got access.

I am now owner of a 30 day free trial of the Zune Pass.
Somehow it used my obsolete CC, huh, that can't be good.

I think the fine print says that they'll turn it into a monthly subscription, unless you opt out early enough.

Go to the music hub, marketplace, select a song. I should stream right away.
nah it says connect to for sync. I guess its not working yet from the phone or the app needs an update.

There isn't this option....Also, I can't access the marketplace through zune. I'm using W8 Release Preview.

Does it work with the desktop application or in Windows 8?
Hands on Lumia 810 http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/09/nokia-lumia-810-for-t-mobile-hands-on/
Could they have at least turned on the screen? I really wanted to see what it looked like on.

Quite an extensive walkthrough with the 920, but it's in french. Seems like the multitasking cards have incresed in number.

If the users don't use your service, make them.
Probably just a very annoying mistake on the marketplace
They aren't directly competing.
The 8S is an entry-level device (~ 300 Euros) that's lacking in various respects (4GB, no gyro, no FFC, camera), but offers great value.
The 810/820 is more of a high-end device (~ 500 Euros) in disguise (certainly fooled me). It may not have the high resolution and only has 8 GB built in, but overall it's a really high-quality phone and it's not missing any other features. Even the screen isn't really bad. The resolution may not be as high as on competing phones, but it will be one of the best screens for outdoor readability and has super-sensitive touch.
The 820/810 is competing with the 8X more than with the 8S. Here the 8X has some advantages for resolution, sound, camera, maybe design. But the Lumia has an advantage with all those Nokia apps and the shell concept is really great.

A Windows Phone from Microsoft could be interesting.

Apparently that had something to do with an unlocked phone.
along with all those things, the 8S processor is clocked at only 1ghz while the 820/810 is clocked at 1.5ghz and double the ram at 1gb.
(UK) prices for wireless charging accessories revealed:
Prohibitively expensive, IMO. Puts it squarely into the gimmick category. I hope Nokia bundles them up soon.

Unless they come bundled with the Lumia's can't see many being sold.
Will this work on my 920?!

Why is everyone so surprised about the prices? Palm wanted about 89 bucks for their touchstone.
That's the whole point of a wireless charging standard.
