Support NeoGAF

Next announcement is Windows 8RT Phone edition.

They could then follow Web OS and provide WP8 as open source to Nokia, since they are the only one updating stuffs.

That should have been what wp8 was anyways... just bolt on the phone bits to winRT and then have a truly universal app system.

Well with that rumor Windows Blue and Windows 8 Phone rumor by I-Mate ... may be we are in for another reset.

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.

Microsoft's marketing strategy for their current products is as much a mystery to them as it is to us apparently.

I have seen ads for Surface (the infamous keyboard clicking and dancing ads) but nothing for Windows 8 or WP8. Honestly no one knows what MS is doing with advertising.

Btw welcome back to the thread Unknown ��

<3

why?? so unknown can tell us the latest android has blown the scanner as its over 9000?

Clearly what phones need is 8 GB of GDDR5 RAM. Maybe Sony can get it done.

Just ran the Nokia/HERE sat nav app this morning to get into work, first time since the update - noticed a whole load of new icons - although I only did a basic trip in London, the interface did feel more consistent and complete. Battery icon on the main display whilst driving too.

The Huawei Ascent W1 will be £130 as PAYG on O2. Pretty good deal, IMO.

It's £120, even still the 620 is worth the extra £30 for the 8GB internal storage alone, or just wait off for the 520 for the same price.

4GB is a paltry amount, but if you don't care about apps you might be ok. Battery is an impressive size in the W1.

I've seen several adds for WP8; the celebrity ones (ie. Stefani and Alba) as well as the holiday ones they had, which incidentally my wife and son loved.

WP8, W8, Surface and now Outlook.com advertisements play every 5 seconds here in the US.

 

[hadareud]

WP adds are on on a regular basis here in the UK too.

The only problem is that they are featuring James Cordon, the unfunny massive twat.

 

[kharma45]

Another Whatsapp update for WP8.

 

[Anton Sugar]

The Nokia PlayTo app beta is out.

WP8, W8, Surface and now Outlook.com advertisements play every 5 seconds here in the US.

Yeah, there are quite a few here in DC.

 

[brotkasten]

My LG phone had PlayTo at launch in 2010. What's so special about Nokia's implementation?

If your looking for an adventure/puzzle game Dark Arcana: The Carnival was just released for WP8. I'm currently playing their other title Nightmares from the Deep. The game has pretty good production values and is also on Windows 8.

But it was a Windows Phone!

Official twitter app got updated.

Didn't see anything about this anywhere. Looks like a pretty nice Siri-like app.

It's nice. Performs well on 7.8, even has an extra large tile.

Now to see what it actually shows on it.

 

[lastflowers]

Whoa at this new twitter app. I kinda dig it. Might switch from rowi for a little while.

Free too. Downloaded!

Thanks.

Thanks.

Free up to a point I think. $2.99 to unlock the full game (and it is on sale)

 

[Frost_Ace]

New twitter app is very good, mehdoh is still more complete but most third party apps on other OS are too.

 

[MCD]

We are getting way too many updates

I don't like it

 

[eastx]

Talking about the games I mentioned . You should check them out if you haven't already. Very few WP8 only games.

 

[dLMN8R]

New Twitter app is nice but it doesn't appear to do anything that Rowi doesn't already do equally or better.

Nice, thanks for that.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Cool, that the twitter supports voice recognition. Tweet while you drive! I think Mehdoh may do this as well.

 

[zedge]

I like the the new twitter app. I find mehdoh ugly, prefer this to be honest.

AND YES IT'S SNOWING IN HELL.

All joke aside, official is the most reliable with push notifications. Must try it out again now.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Going to use the new Twitter app over Rowi for today and see how I like it. Looks nice so far.

We'll see if the Live Tile works, and most live tiles no longer work for me on 7.8.

 

[hwalker84]

That should have been what wp8 was anyways... just bolt on the phone bits to winRT and then have a truly universal app system.

More like Windows RT should've been an expanded version of WP8. Like Android and iOS. Not full blown windows scaled down and confusing customers.

 

[derFeef]

I like the the new twitter app. I find mehdoh ugly, prefer this to be honest.

Functions:
Mehdoh>Twitter.

Look and performance.
Twitter>Mehdoh.

Staying with Twitter I think.

 

[VanMardigan]

I really like the new look and I agree that mehdoh needs a fresh coat of paint, but as good as this update is, I'm sticking with mehdoh. I don't like having to leave into IE every time I want to follow a link.

 

[MattDoza]

The dark theme is gone! Otherwise, the updated Twitter is pretty nice.

 

[Frost_Ace]

Now we just need a new facebook app and my lumia will be perfect.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

HTC will release a mid-range Windows Phone 8 device this May, according to UnwiredView. The device, which is currently going by the name Tiara internally, will sport a 4.3-inch 800×480 pixel Super LCD2 display, a 1.2Ghz dual-core Snapdragon S4 SoC, 1GB RAM, 8GB internal storage, an 8MP back camera and 1.6MP wide-angle front camera, and an 1800mAh battery. Most notably, however, is the software: this will be one of the first devices to market to ship with Windows Phone 8 GDR2, the first major update to WP8 since it was released in October.

No word on what the device will look like, but UnwiredView claims it will be similar in style and features to the US-only HTC One SV.

Next update in April/May?

[kazinova]

I still don't see the update to twitter, but I don't care because I just got my sweet official Nokia grey case (thanks to those that pointed me to it). It's pimp as hell. Pictures to come when I find my fiancée's 920.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

from Belfiore's twitter

Besides the new Twitter, new Whatsapp now out, I've got a few more new apps on my #WP8 phone that aren't in the Store yet! #sorry2tease

Oh Joe!

 

[derFeef]

He means new updates, not new apps.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Does he? If it is just updates. Facebook would probably be a candidate I hope.
