Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
It says it's not supported by the app, does that mean you can't still use the Zune software for it? I don't have that feature so I don't know how to designate your 10 songs.

Seriously, I got cash money ready to throw at you, Nokia. Why won't you take my money from me?

Oh no guys, it's an LG phone that glitters when you view it at an angle!!!

Nokia are such idiots. Getting an HTC WP8 instead of the Lumia 820 for TMobile.
Are they going to announce a new search engine?

Well, It looks like the Xbox Division is slowly looking to take over the company... One division at a time.
I wish

What's the premiere WP8 phone for TMobile though? Had my heart set on a Nokia offering.

Aren't they getting the Ativ S?

So what are they working on specifically? Just between us.

sounds like you can keep a W7 PC with Zune installed around to get the 10 free songs.

Oh yay, Zune now shows sub-genres in the marketplace in Canada, I assume because of the move to Xbox Music. It was so annoying having everything lumped into such broad categories.

does windows phone 8 support pen (digitizers like wacom?). I'm movin' back to android with the galaxy note until there's a galaxy note equivalentfor wp8
Yeah, I can't wait that long.
Really keep wishing they could have afforded to go in another direction with the way they marketed the 920.
Yeah but the 92x can release on however many carriers they damn well please.
Hope so. Once I upgrade to Windows 8 release, I'll definitely keep the Zune software around to make sure.
Exclusive to AT&T for 6 months.

Terrible videos, sounds like someone made them to sell the phones by reading off a spec sheet. Good luck with your AT&T exclusivity Nokia.

Zune and Xbox were always part of the same division.

Maybe Nokia feels save, now that they're on the biggest carrier in the world.
the app contracts feature hasn't been announced yet (but was 'leaked' by Thurrott)...
But that's not really consumer-facing, is it?
*shrug* I just want it confirmed.

You can't announce what doesn't exist!
Like I said earlier, there might me some little, neat things that aren't announced yet, also something Bing related.

It isn't? Man, fuck this.
Here's Nokia's quarterly "Hey, where did all my money go?!" report.
$754 million Loss.
Reading it a little more it actually isn't as bad as I had thought.
They have actually reached an operating profit this quarter. That's nuts.

I'm sure Nokia's various investors are so pleased with how Elop's reign is going.

It will be available in Germany, but not Austria.
Why do I feel like you wrote that while sticking out your tongue?
Looks like the company bottomed out two quarters ago.
I don't know what people are expecting, but feel free to pile on while you can.

Who is going to bet that they will be hitting it close to getting a net profit at all in the next quarter? It is looking OK enough, but they are going to need all the sales they can get.
Elop: a Surface phone would stimulate the Windows Phone ecosystem
Well, I guess we can consider that a confirmation

Elop is a plant, on a mission to break Nokia to a point where MS can buy bits like the mapping business even cheaper than it is now.
I suppose it depends which company actually gets the contract to build the Surface Phone.
I don't really know what MS could put in a surface phone that would make it better than what HTC and Nokia are doing to be honest, and if it's anything like the Surface tablet then it will be at least $100 overpriced as well.
So Elop is probably right, MS will spend lots of money marketing it, then people will go into stores and buy Nokia's instead.

Well, we don't know yet if they handle it the Nexus way, or do it themselves, like with Surface.
I don't think they can make it much better. If Surface is anything to go by, it'll be a well-done flagship phone that would probably try to compete more directly with the iPhone 5 than the other WP8 devices, especially design wise. And I think MS really hasn't used the full potential of Xbox on Windows Phones yet. So I think when you don't think as much about being the single best phone for WP8, but as something that closes device gaps in the WP8 market for more variety, there should be directions that MS can take.
I'm pleased, thank you.

Guess Samsung and Huawei have to make do with sticking a big Windows Phone logo at the back of the phone.

Better than putting the OS name into the product name.
"HTC Windows Phone 8X". Bleh.
