Too bad I can't stream it, but at least by the time I get to work every announcement will have a nice, biased news story on the Verge, lol.

You're right. Maybe Nokia is going to show some secret WP8 features!
Exclusive to ATT contractors with a 920.

no EOS announcement? Something tells me Nokia has the EOS ready but it's being delayed due to Microsoft's software not ready to handle that beast.
Seriously, when is the Nokia-Microsoft partnership over? My body is ready for a Nokia Android phone. Microsoft, I feel, has given up.

Kind of expected. Lumia 920 is just starting to be availible worldwide.
I am pretty content with WP8 from a hardware perspective.
Software is where it is lacking and people being "OK" with huge one time annual update pisses me off to no end. This isn't a PC or a game console, mobile phones should and must be updated regularly.
Oh right, we got Portico but it was what? 2 months late for everyone who aren't in America and it was mostly bug fixes introduced with WP8.
What's even worse is the "silence" surrounding anything WP. I see tweets and leaks from the Xbox team, Windows 8 (Blue) team but nothing at all with the dead WP team. It's like they are only active one time a year.

Like I said few months ago, this is Nokia's very own Windows Phone 8X

Oh, believe me, the WP team is very interested in a notification center. It's not like Joe is the only one who wants to get it done properly. Seeing some of the people from the other teams using iPhones is pretty annoying. When you ask them, the lack of Instagram and a notification center is a huge reason.
There will be dissapointment even on the Android side, the big guns aren't announced in the WMC anymore, everyone prefers to host their own events, the only innovation will be the Firefox OS
Ewwwwwwwww

As guy who lives in Brazil and owns a Lumia 710 I advise you not to buy a Windows Phone here. The Brazilian marketplace is just terrible, we can't find even the apps that are available for WP in the USA, for example. Play Store and Apple app store are much better here.
I hope it improves with Windows Phone 8, but I really doubt it.
Nokia's Windows Phone 8-powered phones haven't been released here yet. And when they do release, they will probably cost R$1400 or more (nearly $700; pre-paid). The Lumia 800 is costing nearly $300 to me right now...
That's what I feared! I'll probably not get it then...
Sorry about the double post, quoting while editing is pretty hard to do in mobile NeoGAF!

I remember watching it last year but I can't remember what actually happened. Did anything noteworthy get announced at the Nokia MWC last year?
They are rebranding their maps.

They already rebranded their maps, they're just finally apparently bringing that re-brand to Windows Phone

Music playback quality has been disappointing. Just suddenly, anytime I want to listen to music, it sounds like its at 2 volume. This doesn't happen with Youtube videos or the radio app.

I'm not negative, just realistic.
I might not be the guy you want, but the one this platform deserves. Watch out, Thurrot!
Or maybe I'm just sick of my Nexus and jelly of your Windows Phones.

A pessimist is what an optimist calls a realist.
Reality: Windows Phone 8 is as stillborn as WP7 was. Many important features for customers have regressed, not progressed. There is no strategy, no marketing, and no consumer interest. The attempt at forceful integration with Windows 8 and Xbox has been a dismal failure. There is very little positive to say about how Windows Phone 8 has been received, because it has been largely ignored.

Lol you could of said that about android until froyo, but let's not let facts get in the way, and as to marketing is there honestly none state side? I'm fed up of the holly and James ads, the centred around you adverts and surface adverts are always on so I find it hard to believe that there isn't blanket marketing there.
Btw welcome back to the thread Unknown ��
why?? so unknown can tell us the latest android has blown the scanner as its over 9000?

Doesn't matter to the masses, all they care about is does it have a camera.

I like Elop as a presenter. He doesn't dress that great, but I think he is a good speaker and does good interviews (also a fellow Canadian ). Hopefully there is something interesting soon. Going by the leaks though just the 520 and 720 (which look nice for low end handsets).
