Windows Phone 8 Event - live thread

[firewall2302]

Seriously... Microsoft kept all the cards close to it's vest and now that the launch day is here we still have to wait for AT&T to announce sale dates for their phone line up?

That's ridiculous.

I completely agree.

AT&T not having any public dates is just flat out ridiculous.

Why would Microsoft announce dates for AT&T?

LOL. I think he was saying something just for the people in attendance so they cut it off. Still sounded funny though.

Everyone there got a free 8X.

Killer announcement!! There was quite a lot shown that differentaites and innovates from the other mobile platforms out there. And Jessica Alba!!

But how come there was nothing on WP 7.8?

 

[mmacleodbrown]

Still no availability dates, back to scanning all the online retailers and hoping they come out with something soon

Damn, I feel left out... more cheesecake for me.

The big tease!

pissed, I only caught the last 15 minutes. Will be checking the keynote when its available on demand so I can get my ALBA fix.

Why would they talk about WP7.8 at a WP8 launch?

 

[rockstarzzz]

Was there anything new? I hope I was tuned into the same podcast as everyone else!

 

[Shark87]

So are unlocked WP8 phones going to be available at the pop-up stores as well?

 

[Big Supes]

For people in the UK, Nokia UK have just tweeted that the Lumia 920 will be available from the 2nd of November. EE and Phones4U will be stocking.

The 820 will be available from November 7th from EE, Phones4U, and Tesco Phone Shop.

Why would Microsoft announce dates for AT&T?

Because they announced T-Mobila AND Verizon.

It's not like Apple doesn't do the same during their keynotes.

 

[doublebullout]

Why would Microsoft announce dates for AT&T?

Why would Microsoft announce dates for T-Mobile or Verizon? Oh, wait a minute, they did. So what's AT&T's excuse again?

How come the Ativ(love the balmer pronunciation btw) doesn't have a launch day or appear on any carrier, yet the Odyssey a phone we know nothing about does?

What about the 8S? That's the one I want to get.

I thought they mentioned some WP7.8 stuff at the other WP8 announcement earlier in the year. I figured they would have at least said something about it

 

[mdameron]

TellMe/Voice updates? Can we create calendar events or reminders?

I'm wondering if after Nokia's and HTC's press conferences highlighting their phones for WP8 Samsung 'went back to the drawing board' to come up with something that will standout among all the color that that the Lumia line and the 8s/8x will offer...

Hardly any news on this Press Conference. I loved the Facebook live lock screen and the Pandora announcement. Kid's Corner we already knew as well as Rooms. Also, they didn't bother to talk about the notification row on the lock screen. Finally, no hard dates or prices for AT&T. Suppose AT&T has to announce it first. $50 for the Verizon 822 is cool. Other than that...WTF??
