I guess Topolsky finally gets his Windows Phone 8X with Android
But the body was specifically designed to compliment the tile interface and WP stylings. Right?

You don't really think that a company like HTC wouldn't reuse their hardware and engineering designs, right?
I was surprised that the 8X wasn't a One X with Windows Phone buttons.
That is what the colors were for
Well, grey and black certainly compliment Sense very well.

Its a beautiful design, but HTC build quality is lacking. The edges lose their color and they still haven't fixed the sim card error that forces a reboot. Though some people think it's a software issue.
My brother is complaining that his phone is giving him the sim error and I feel bad for recommending him the 8X

Don't worry, BB10 will be out soon.Its a beautiful design, but HTC build quality is lacking. The edges lose their color and they still haven't fixed the sim card error that forces a reboot. Though some people think it's a software issue.

The extra four posts won't hurt anything.
Stop pimping BB10, lol

HTC M7. Now with better coating and better hardware. Thanks for testing Windows Phone users!

I have no idea how RIM could afford me, but they did.
She was a bitch anyway. I never liked her.
Apollo+ should be released next month and not in six months. This is why everyone's complaining about Microsoft's slow pace.
Hope Apollo+ is out next month.

I'm pretty sure that the 18 months of updates guaranteed means that there wont be any updates for 18 months.
If it takes them 6 months WP is already DOA.. BB10 will crush it. :/

Depends on if it launches with Instagram.

but will BB10 have CalDAV/CardDAV!? or will that all be handled on the server side?
Shortcut to gmail.com on the home screen.

These jokes need to stop.
But but but RIM only needs to convert 10% of their current user base to be relevant!
Not sure where else to post this so what the hell.

Looks like shit.
that logo on the bottom is one of the ugliest things I have seen on a mobile phone
Yeah, I would have to agree. Both of them do really. You either have the wall of apps or the 4 live app things which are not nearly as attractive as the WP8 start screen. Also how good is this going to work with the Qwerty form factors. I like some of the ideas, but I don't think is necessarily more efficient.
edit: also, lol at the post above.
This is what MS should be doing..

:lol we are Alberta bro's, I can't lynch you
Woot!
I only post these things cause I care. More competition is good anyway.
Although, I'm originally from Saskatchewan
Everyone would like to see more urgency with MS I'm sure.

Pretty sure there are more Saskies than native Calgarians, :lol
Anyways, probably should stop talking about Saskatchewan or Alberta, the Americans will think we are from South America or Europe

Should be better than both I/O and WWDC this year with BB10 headlining it.

Microsoft is doing really good at promoting WP to developers on my college campus here in Canada. They basically donated 10 or more phones to mine, and other schools around us. All student developers within the programming courses also all have a free MSDN Membership to publish and test stuff. They are at almost every single gaming or app related event... and what ones they don't attend to, they are a large sponsor of.
Hell, they are even giving out phones like crazy at events too. Today some of the business students were invited to our classroom by our physics teacher to speak about a Business Start Up event that the business departments were putting on. They even said that they partnered with Microsoft and are giving out something like 20 copies of Windows 8 and 10 WP Devices as prizes.
Its a completely 180* change from the MS of 4 years ago.
What I do find interesting though is that since I'm within a Game Programming course, I have heard alot of people talking about just throwing up their completed school projects onto the WP Store because they have the tools to be able to test it in class.
edit: oops, forgot to edit this into the previous post... sorry everyone

What engines are they using for game development? I'm going to start messing around in development at some point soon.
One thing that is sorely lacking on WP is a decent Tapatalk client.
Board Express is really quite bad. Shit even, particularly since the developers seem to have given up on the project and there haven't been any updates for months.
I just had a quick look around and it does seem like there's a few clients under development.
This one looks quite interesting and should be out later this month according to the developer (also for Windows 8/RT):

Also, looks like the Portico update has started rolling out in Germany and Italy on Vodafone for the 820 & 920.
Hope it comes for EE sooner rather than later too, it's been on Navifirm since the beginning of the year already.

Windows Phone is slowly growing in the EFIGS states, mostly due to Nokia I assume, while still standing still in the US and Asia.
Dropping in Germany and massively growing in Italy, while the US doesn't seem to care at all about Windows Phone. It's also "good" to see that the rumors about WP taking China by storm are BS as well. Always had a hard time believing it.

That is just urban china, the rurals have better taste.
