Is Cerulean going to happen?

[James Falconer]

A little out of the loop here (haven't been keeping up), but is the Cerulean Windows Phone going to happen? Would really love to see some new brands in the market, had high hopes for these guys...

 

[jasqid]

As much as I would have liked to see that. Nope. I don't think it was anything more than a pipe dream filled with smoke.

 

[Leonel Funes]

Still kinda hopeful, but only when I see them mentioned somewhere. Out of sight, out of mind.

 

[RumoredNow]

They were apparently advised by Microsoft to not pre-hype any longer until they have a launch date.

Then they changed their Mission from GSM in the US to GSM + Vzw in US + Canada + Mexico + Brazil + Bolivia. Now they have tested a prototype with proper radios and need certification in those countries. (If the prototype passed their testing... I do not know that it did or did not.)

You may still #ColorMeCerulean

@RumoredNow - lol I know you're a big fan!!!

Until @Jason Ward or @mistagreg announces that they have cancelled the project, I still believe.

Good things come to those who wait.

Stranger things have happened! Still hope it happens despite everything we've heard to date.

We don't really have much else to go off of. I do wonder if Cerulean's plans have been changed by the recent rumors of Microsoft releasing a new flagship to succeed the 950 later this year.

 

[LightenSkies]

Rumors bore me in the tech world of cool stuff. They need to not worry if Microsoft won't be releasing a phone this year. That being said these guys need to focus on releasing there phone to the market. Or just say they changed there minds.

 

[James Falconer]

No doubt. Some clarity would be nice.

If and when it comes, it may not pack the hw the latest devices out there have, but they should try to bring some defining extras and/or features. Not to mention to as many regions as possible. Again it's business and not just a phone for the fans. Either way I'm looking forward to the device and getting one. Need another Windows 10 mobile phone so I can start using the fast ring again.

why is microsoft butting in? Pre hype is way better than silence.

You weren't around here when the McLaren was cancelled. THAT was the epitome of uber-hype and people's heads exploded. Anybody who's head didn't turn into a mushroom cloud then will surely go kaput when the Surface Unicorn (Phone) gets deep-sixed.

 

[James Falconer]

Oh the McLaren...

Yes I was, I was even telling people to not buy the 920 or 1020 and the mclaren is going to be announced.

I didn't die. Still here

Kinda glad it was cancelled tbh. 3D touch was never a thing and I can think of nothing worse. Gesture control was the first thing I disabled on Samsung Galaxy

Ya. It could be more of an experience. I've only seen it demoed like Dan's report. Kinda like VR. You either can care less or must have it. I mean if you've never tried it though you'll never really know. I too disabled almost ever gesture control on the s7. I mean if anything Samsung goes above and beyond. I think there must be like 3 ways to all things on their device .

I truly hope this is not another "vaporware" rumored product. We need more Windows Smaprtphones, imo.

Cheers
