I can't wait for Monday & Wednesday

Yeah, in BB10 the Notification is on the right. It would be perfect for the Notification on WP7 to be on the left.

Also I really want them to improve the keyboard, it's terrible. Sometimes it has an Enter Button and somethings you need to press a weird U-turn looking key(shift?), sometimes it has neat shorcuts like @ and .com. The constant changes drive me crazy and I'm tired of pressing 'Enter" and end up jumping the line. Also for some reason it doesnt goes fully complete when sideways, wasting precious space =/. It needs a complete overhaul.

The different keyboards is normal. iOS does it too. It's up to the developer as to which keyboard they want to present.

Like everyone else, I'm simply interested in what could possibly be announced. All rumors and leaks aside, I want the real deal.

Well, it's the Microsoft Surface!

What an amazing design: 9.3 mm thick and 0.7 mm for the stand. Less than 1.5 pounds, Gorilla glass, built-in USB 2.0, HDMI, two cameras.

Seriously?? That's it? No phone-let? It's just another tablet so who gives a squirrel phart?

Yeah that's my thing. No I don't mind higher specs but for folks to preach and harp on how those missing specs are what's causing WP to fail is a stretch. HUGE stretch. When I see SG3 commercials, nothing sticks in my mind about specs because THEY DON'T TALK ABOUT IT. They talk about how the phone has elements of nature, how you can use the S-Voice, keep your phone awake by staring at it and it'll cut off when you look away from it. That's what they talk about. Not quad core (Dual core for the states FYI), not a 4.8 screen, not the processing chips, NONE of that. Why? Because the general consumers DON'T CARE. They care for NICHE features and marketing ploys

I agree with all of this. I personally would like to see higher specs, but people like my wife don't have a clue about any of that stuff.

Monday's announcement was a winner in my book, now I really can't wait to see what Wednesday has in store for us!

Microsoft raised to the hype. That Tablet looks amazing!!!!

On my Quantum I have the same keyboard every time!

Oh the interwebs are STEAMING. All of the sister sites have 30+ comments about this (imore has 70). I'm glad for the buzz that's generating

I do. I was looking for an awesome tablet for when Win 8 debuts this fall. Have you seen what the other OEMs are coming out with? There's very, very few that are even worth a look in how they're designed. Thank god I don't have to go with the Asus Tablet 810 and it's dinky Atom cpu. I can go with a full on Ivy Bridge. Too cool.

money reserved for this tablet or this laptop or all in one . from reading tech sites comments i can see MS winning people heart and Money :lol:

all they need now a big & happy event tomorrow to make it a perfect combo strike

 

[rockstarzzz]

I was reading on two of the sister forums (androidcentral and imore) and i was really surprised for the most part. A lot of the android crew really was impressed with the Surface and wanted one. The imore crew eh...i think they got a little nervous..LOL. The Surface looks really good and after having a ipad and a kindle fire, I know what my next purchase will be. Now to wait till Wednesday. Does anyone know what type the event for Wednesday kicks off??

 

[InfectedPhreak]

Ever since they announced there was going to be Windows 8 tablets, I was already sold. This keynote just blew me away. The MS Surface looks amazing, and I definitely want to get one. @_@

IDK, isn't Wednesday's deal more for developers? It may be more about software and supported hardware than actual new phones.

oh ok. Well i mean obviously the hardware is out there (as evidenced by those stats on Im a WP7 that keep getting mentioned from time to time). Would be nice to see some super phones . I mean honestly it wouldnt take much for Samsung or HTC to convert their existing top Android phones over to WP8.

 

[dameon_03]

i cant wait to hear details about wp8 and hopefully all our questions are answered
