For that Microsoft has a couple of months to get the coding right, which what some people working at Microsoft have hinted they are working on getting the coding and encryption right without affecting the functionality for the devices on China Mobile (which for the Qualcomm certified coders say is easy enough to do, because it also keeps 256bit encryption as an option if any network has no immediate interest in offering SVDO ready devices).

And let's not forget the FCC has a follow up hearing on the coding and encryption for all major mobile platforms coming this summer, and Windows Phone had the CDMA coding issue that will have to be proper by then. The FCC is seriously considering changes on network security for both GSM and CDMA networks. On the GSM side is to let OEMs come up with a global standard to be able to lock a lost/stolen device and for carriers to come up with a way to have devices listed on the blocked list CDMA carriers have, and for that more basic encryption may or may not be needed.
On the CDMA side is to close the gap against GSM networks when it comes to simultaneous talk and surf (and here is where the 512bit encryption on CDMA networks and their devices partially come into play when it comes to the full form of SVDO, as Sprint, Verizon and US Cellular have been offering since last year, more specifically to Sprint because they are doing all the steps for SVDO via Network Vision deployment).
This may sound like jibberish to some, but these are things to come from the FCC sooner than later.

Gibberish for the average consumer, yes. They just want good phones at good prices.
Verizon, Sprint to offer new Windows Phone 8 models
Samsung Ativ Odyssey, and Sprint phones. Guessing this is the big news.

More for the "does it have instagram crowd than anything" and I can't wait to rid myself of xbox music. I like spotify better.
If they announce instagram now, probably wont be out until Q2 or Q3. It might be a consumer version of windows 8 you can buy instead of just upgrading or buying the OEM version. That would be nice for some

Surface phone would be nice, they did say it would be released 2013. I'm putting my bets on Sprint or 7.8 or both
