Microsoft hints at "exciting news later today"

Tweet says it all.

Hope its good news.

 

[Pete Almanza]

Fingers crossed, this could be a number of things at this point, all of them seem appealing at that.

Wp8.1?

 

[baileystein]

Wp8.1?

Maybe, I'm thinking it's more of the Ascend W1.

 

[Black Helicopter Steve]

Maybe, I'm thinking it's more of the Ascend W1.

Probably. Yawn.

My bold guess is the ATIV S being available on all major US carriers (including Sprint) this month.

That would be good too, Sprint just put up "coming soon" on their windows phone 8 page.

Here's what I think is possible:
1. Windows Phone 7.8 Info
2. Windows Phone 8.1 Info
3. Ascend W1
4. ATIV S
5. Odyssey

 

[Reflexx]

Maybe that 7.8 is rolling out.

 

[Robert Carpenter]

You could add Surface Phone to the possibility list.... although an extremely low chance lol

 

[brmiller1976]

I reads very similarly to the teaser for the Surface press conference. I guess we'll see, eh?

 

[hysonmb]

I'm guessing there will be a Sprint announcement.
7.8 may get in there as well.
The biggest news that I could get would be a fix for this mess they call Xbox Music!

 

[juan6996]

Well, nothing Samsung for sure. Their CES show just ended, no mention of WP. Im leaning towards an OS update (7.8)? or the Surface Phone.

 

[juan6996]

So its definitely something:
-Windows Phone
-Sprint
-NOT Samsung.

 

[brmiller1976]

Apparently, Apple is going to begin manufacturing Windows Phones!

 

[squire777]

So much for an announcement today

 

[brmiller1976]

(Just joking. I wanted to see how many hearts I could have skip a beat) :winktongue:

Sprint Newsroom | Sprint Selects Samsung and HTC for Windows Phone 8 Launch with Truly Unlimited Sprint 4G LTE

 

[brmiller1976]

Ooooh, the Sprint folks are going to get the ATIV S! I guess good things come to those who wait...

 

[squire777]

Interesting. I guess the CDMA folks in the US have another option now.

It doesn't say which devices they will be or when they will be out so we'll have to wait and see.

I pray to god that these Sprint CDMA phones have 512-bit encryption.
