hey guys. When do you guys think wp8 actually is comin out. I am not even sure. Is it november,october or september?.

[ninjaap]

My guess would be November. That's when the first Gen phones came out and I believe, a year later, that's when the 2nd Gen phones first came out too.

I think you're right. I think we in the US had to wait till November? I dunno. Maybe I'm getting old.

I really think it's October for nz again. November for da US. So sad if that happened again? I get to see it first then? 17 days earlier :-D

It'd be nice if a WP8 phone comes out before iPhone 5.

Agreed

It will be October at the earliest with most probably hitting by November. Who knows though, maybe we'll get surprised at it will come a little sooner.

Windows Phone as a platform is going to be bleeding between the official 'no upgrade to 8' announcement and Windows Phone 8 general availability. If Nokia is indeed about to release bad Q2 numbers, they don't need an even grimmer Q3.

Um no it won't be bleeding.stop being childish

[eric12341]

In the fall, that's all we need to know.

Before BB10

There was an article here at WPC or WMPU that sales have held strong since the announcement of 7.8 and no upgrade to 8 So such talk is premature at best. No need to turn it into a self fulfilling prophecy!

Before BB10

Windows Phone 10 will be released before BB10. :lol:

It wouldn't surprise me if RIM goes under before they even ship BB10 devices honestly. :unsure:

Anything would just be grasping at straws. No reputable company could have numbers of the current sales except for the companies themselves...and they don't seem to be releasing those numbers.

Numbers out today are from June 10th at the latest.

But, the dead honest truth is the general public does not care if their phone updates.

it's taking forever! I feel like wp8 will never get here

Not really September is the announcement of wp8 devices. Same thing for wp7.5 phones

September! It is only July now. It really feels forever. :lol:

You only got 2 months left for Samsung, huawei, htc and the creative and different Nokia to announce their phones.

This is how I do it

3 or 2 Samsung's. Wp s3 and maybe a galaxy ace plus wp and a large galaxy mini 2 like wp

Maybe Samsung could do a hexa core s3 with a better resoulution than the s3

3 htc's. Wp one x, one s and one v wp

3 Nokia's pureview, mid range, and low end,
1.7GHz quad-core
1.5GHz dual core
1GHz dual core low end

And maybe 2 huawei ascends wp
Ascend p1s wp
Ascend d quad wp

[jfa1]

My sentiment exactly.

The real question for me is..what is Verizon getting? If we get shafted again I may need to reevaluate either carrier or OS. :(

Listen, it is very, very, very much in my interest as someone who is basically drowning in MS certs that MS do well with Windows 8 everything. However, I'm not going to be like Apple fans and give them a free pass. We need those WP8s and we need them, well, we needed them a year or two ago, but ASAP *might* work. Some people might not care if MS gets a decent marketshare, but I sure as **** do.

I can't go forward with a small marketshare product for long. Sooner or later, people above me not in IT will demand explanations. I personally think that WP8 will integrate far better into our existing infrastructure, but today we live in a world where know-nothing higher ups can force the IT department to do it their way.

My biggest worry isn't quality of the product. My biggest worry is that MS still underestimates the type of marketing push Windows 8 as a whole needs.

If I were MS, I'd pull out all the stops this time. I think their future depends on it.

People need to want this product just as bad, or worst, than they ever wanted an iPhone. Brainwash away MS PR department. We're going to need it.

Note - I personally love Windows Phone 8. I just think we're starting to get past the days where 'Just having a quality product' is good enough, or where products marketshare is based on quality at all.

Ok enough ramble. I'm a freaking hater ( obviously ) :dry

I'm thinking December-January. We have too little news for an October launch, there's no beta either.
