All this means is that I now have 3 weeks to come up with $600. And since my wife will absolutely NOT let me use our income to cover this, I have to sell all non-essential tech gear, barter (I'm offering everyone I know cold hard cash and my Focus S for their upgrade), and find a second job.

Why pressure yourself that much. You don't have to buy the thing at launch you know. It's much better to buy a new phone when you have comfortable room to spend money.
 
What the heck, I just noticed that HTC is already selling the 8X today in Singapore without contract.

Does that also mean there's no more unannounced features in WP8? Probably.

Nope. Cant be. There must be something incredible that they have kept secret all this time. And we're gonna say "Wow.". And it's going to be amazing.


Also it seems like they're pre-selling them. You will get a coupon that you can redeem for a phone on the 3rd.

I asked one of the stores and they said they are out of stock and were actually handing out the devices today.

Edit: I think that guy has no idea what he was talking about, called another store and they have no clue about the phone at all. Heh.

Phew. :P
 
The day before my birthday. I love it when a plan comes together.

Wait, why does it say they are only offering 3 colors? I want Cyan.

have you forgotten, cyan and yellow are available online only. there is a chance with those online orders that you'd get the phone by friday. that's usually how online orders work with att.

I didn't know, actually. Will a store like Amazon have the Cyan since they are online?

Another question. Is the camera "sideways"? As in, can I hold the phone upright and the pictures will take in landscape?
 
Daily Show and Colbert Report writers must be massive Apple fanboys. Daily Show had two Zune jokes last night, pretty much for no reason. Rebranding to Xbox Music was definitely a smart choice.
 
Well I got £50 store credit for microsoft not honoring the delivery of my Surface :-/ if I hadn't already bought win8 I'd of got the update for free...

Anyway waiting to see if they'll be selling WP8 accessories and get a price reduction on those with it.

Well yeah. Colbert had an iPad before most people even knew what it was.
 
I know that but like significantly?

The CPUs are comparable, but the GPU in the iPhone 5 is in a whole different league. It's a massive difference. The Adreno 225 in Qualcomm's S4 is one of the weakest GPUs in current smartphones and it's something all Windows Phones are going to use in the next few months.

we're not even out the door & we're already far behind? fuck sake :(
 
When you really think about it, a top of the line GPU would be a waste of money on WP.

I expect a lot of win8 -> wp8 game ports so the more power the better. The existing windowsrt devices have underperforming GPUs as well, but that will change soon.

Tegra 3 is still faster than the S4.

But there's really no reason to be that upset about it.

Don't forget that Windows Phone is enjoying some quality and exclusive apps, that aren't available on other platf-...

Oh.
Lol..just downloaded it. Pretty slick. Will try at home with my Xbox tonight.

I wouldn't be too worried about the s4. Games play great on the gs3.
 
This is seriously cool.

A new image has leaked out tonight revealing for the first time Window Phone 8's new "live" lockscreen wallpaper feature. We have mentioned live lockscreen wallpapers before, specifically when the Windows Phone 8 SDK leaked over the summertime (and we told you about them even before then). The feature is not quite as “live” as Android where things are actually moving around, wasting your battery. Instead, this is truly useful.

The image above, received by the site Nokia Innovation, shows three examples of this Live locksreen wallpaper: Bing, ESPN and USA Today. The former will refresh the lockscreen every day with Bing’s latest background, ESPN can show you sports scores presumably of your favorite team and USA Today highlights news via tile images.
