Biggest hint that Lumia Cyan will be coming on the 24th?

[NokianWP]

This looks more like a new MM X2 than the cyan update, but I hope they release 8.1 and Cyan on the 24th. (please AT&T!)

huh??
You are telling that MSFT earns more from android??
Wat?

He is correct. I believe the estimate is something like a billion dollars annually from patent royalties on Android devices. Windows Phone doesn't make that kind of revenue yet, and even if it did not all of it would be profit since it's expensive to actively develop a new product. On the other hand, the Android patents are mostly based on technology that MS developed years ago and they don't have marketing or support expenses for Android.

wrong wrong wrong, dont believe it, they use android to get customer to join windows phone 8 with launcher Z (aka windows phone 8 UI, android core), they waanted to attract customer to windows phone 8, but not earning. microsoft doesn't know it will gone wild like that, lots of user buy it, lots of money earned even it is cheaper than lumia 520

Launcher Z is not from Microsoft .. It is from the branch of Nokia that was never bought by Microsoft

They never will. WPCentral did a report on that. If I remember right. the Icon screen is actually incapable of glance, due to it's low screen memory. Have a look into it
