OMG!!!! Cortana looks awesome!!
I want a Lumia 920 - Microsoft, TAKE MY MONEY!!!!

 

[Pete The Penguin]

Bug found in Cortana in the Demo while Joe Belfore was trying to set up a reservation in a restaurant.

Cortana didn't like the restaurants?

 

[BIGPADDY]

Nokia devices properly the 930, 630 and 635.

I am confused.... So essentially they are just going to announce the same thing as we just heard???

 

[hopmedic]

Hey, y'all - don't forget that Nokia is having their announcement at 5 PDT tonight!

If you BUILD it, they will come… - Nokia Conversations

Undoubtedly they would not waste the money nor the time, to just replay what they just announced.

So you think there will be different hardware?

Summer

Months of watching Cortana grow and to see her now. I can't have a phone without her. She is my most used app of all time!!

That's awesome. I'm assuming you work at MS. Great to see you guys participate and close to the fans/consumers.

Yawn. In fact, not yawn. OURAGE! Nothing for ATT? I don't even care if its a Lumia. Samsung's new phone is a Verizon exclusive, the Icon is a Verizon exclusive, the 930 will be available everywhere but the US... I have been looking forward to hearing about the next phone that I can actually purchase on my carrier for a long time now, only for them to announce nothing? The flagship ATT phone in the US is the 1520? Really? A phablet? A phone for a niche market?

I know they COULD announce something at 5:00 PM but I highly doubt it. Its probably just going to be about apps and sales and crap like that. Are we going to hear anything from Samsung, Sony, HTC, or any other device maker? I hope so.

There going to talk about the devices in more detail and show off other things such as apps.

Could be hardware, could be software, could be more SDK goodness, could be more about Microsoft purchase. I have no idea other than to believe it a total waste of money if they throw another big shindig only to say what's been said.

I would be expecting OEM's will be showing there devices throughout the next few days.

I hope there will be a SONY device!

Wow.

I would be very happy with that! My only requirement for the next device that I purchase is that it gets updated every once in awhile. My HTC Titan II received 1 update in 2 years, and I don't even remember what was in it. Probably just some bug fixes.

 

[nyolc8]

I expected more information... like limitations on older devices, apps on sdcard, and stuff like that.

 

[kingenu]

good to know, i've tried most lumias and having being too pleased with my experience so thinking of changing

 

[Matts4313]

They could have improved the camera further, or added some definitive feature to help it shine. But as it stands nothing in the phone is a stand out feature, and its all been done before. I suppose my main disappointment with it is the release date and I can't even wrap my head around that.

The same camera that just won a blind comparison for best in the industry?

They took a phone that was released ~6 weeks ago, spruced it up a tad, and gave it to the world. Is it a game changer? No... but maybe it was a fantastic game to begin with.
