WP8Hero 10/29/2012 4:48:18 PM
wow...seems like we have a lot of converts from iPhone to WP, welcome to the team guys, you will not be disappointed!
Santana George 10/29/2012 4:48:24 PM
Nokia Lumia 920 Most innovative smart phone!!! can't wait...
Declan McCullagh 10/29/2012 4:48:57 PM
And here's info about some Windows Phone 8 software: reviews.cnet.com "The app, apparently published just before Windows Phone 8 gets fully detailed on Monday, makes it possible to synchronise photos, videos and music between Microsoft's mobile and desktop devices."

the iphone 5 is a nice upgrade, I think it would take a surface phone to switch...this coming from a windows user
somuatluri 10/29/2012 4:49:02 PM
Have been out of contract for 9 months. Thought I would get iPhone 5, but disappointed with same boring interface & design. Lumia 920 is exciting, Windows phone 8 is lively. Hope Lumia & windows dont disappoint.
Christopher D 10/29/2012 4:49:18 PM
Oh boy! I can't wait. Lookinng forward to more info on WP8 Devices, Apps etc and esp on T-Mobile like the Samsung ATIV S (I currently use the SGS III on Sprint).
bigmurphdog 10/29/2012 4:49:23 PM
Does Windows Phone 8 recognize the "rules" in Exchange folders and process email exactly as Exchange does?? iOS and Android do not...
sush08 10/29/2012 4:49:25 PM
google jsut launched the nexus 10 for 399$ and nexus 4 for 349$ unlocked.This makes the windows devices look expenisve

sush08: Here's CNET's article on the Nexus announcements: news.cnet.com

WP8Hero, ya my wife was the first convert - bought her the Lumia 900. I was a little more patient and decided to wait for the Lumia 920. I've been rocking a iPhone 3g for 4 years. Totally ready to get off Apples platform =]
Julian Raymond 10/29/2012 4:49:52 PM
@WP8Hero I've wanted WP since launch but the Trophy was sad, and there hasn't been anything worth switching carriers until Lumia 920
iwinpho 10/29/2012 4:49:54 PM
I will make a video of my lumia 920 hammering my iphone 5
nau 10/29/2012 4:49:55 PM
yeah...Iphone 5...few days and so many scratches
JM 10/29/2012 4:49:57 PM
Samsung Galaxy user waiting to make the change to Windows Phone 8
rolllimp 10/29/2012 4:50:02 PM
how many of these 'keynotes' will microsoft hold? arent they bored already?
Shad 10/29/2012 4:50:04 PM
Kudos tsn...I have the Lumia 900 and i'm hoping 7.8 can hold me over until I can purchase a WP8 device....because I will be broke after buying the Surface
Storm 10/29/2012 4:50:05 PM
I have iPhone 4 and cant wait for the Nokia Lumia 920
kush 10/29/2012 4:50:10 PM
Good things come with a good price tag.
sush08 10/29/2012 4:50:37 PM
Nexus 4 for 349$ is a way better deal than lumia 920
nau 10/29/2012 4:50:38 PM
@bigmurphdog Rules in exchange are taken into exchange server....So why do you need it on the Phone!...inbox displays them accordingly
Santana George 10/29/2012 4:50:48 PM
Don't worry new great apps are Coming, Devs are in queue to Build WP8 Apps...
Sharon 10/29/2012 4:50:50 PM
I've been waiting for months to upgrade my phone for the Lumia 920
Scott Linder 10/29/2012 4:50:53 PM
Living on the bleeding edge can be expensive. :)
AD 10/29/2012 4:50:54 PM
If the internet browser is not good, then WP8 could lose out badly.
sam_pa 10/29/2012 4:50:58 PM
already ordered a 920 at bb on 21st..dont know when they would.CC shows transaction pending
Manish 10/29/2012 4:51:02 PM
Yes, WP7 follows exchange rules, and you can sync specific folders
Argen 10/29/2012 4:51:12 PM
they need lumia 920 for verizon! iPhone 4s user needs to to upgrade to something good and different.
John 10/29/2012 4:51:14 PM
@sush08 Is that off contract?
john 10/29/2012 4:51:15 PM
changing from galaxy s3 to lumia 920 :)
WP8Hero 10/29/2012 4:51:20 PM
@Julian, @Dots...I am sure this release will make it even more better and create a strong 3rd platform for people to go with
Presh 10/29/2012 4:51:21 PM
Hope the Lumia phones wont be expensive! Can't wait though!
Declan McCullagh 10/29/2012 4:51:45 PM
Also earlier today Nokia and Verizon announced that VZW will carry the Windows Phone 8-baed Nokia Lumia 822: news.cnet.com
WP8Hero 10/29/2012 4:51:52 PM
Shared core will make our App marketplace grow very fast after this release
tsn 10/29/2012 4:51:55 PM
is live event actually started.. or something's wrong with my browser?? confused.. ?
kush 10/29/2012 4:52:00 PM
Lumias are always cheaper than iphone...
wajih 10/29/2012 4:52:04 PM
i dont want to insult anyone. But androids seem like Kia's while nokia is bmw..
elz0ux 10/29/2012 4:52:05 PM
why is Microsoft always late ?!
Declan McCullagh 10/29/2012 4:52:19 PM
Remember, folks, the event isn't scheduled to begin for another 8 minutes.
Kevin Chen 10/29/2012 4:52:21 PM
Is the nexus 4 unlocked for 349?
Juancr1122 10/29/2012 4:52:21 PM
Currently own a Razr Max but hoping Microsoft has good things instored for their Windows 8 phones. How are they gona sync and operate with their Pc counterparts??
Dan Rubin 10/29/2012 4:52:26 PM
I really hope they talk more about the Companion App. If you don't know this app is what allows you to sync between all your Win8 Devices and Xbox 360.
Josh Lowensohn 10/29/2012 4:52:40 PM
Still waiting to get in folks.
Declan McCullagh 10/29/2012 4:52:43 PM
Dan: Agreed. Here's CNET's article from this morning: reviews.cnet.com
T3-Industries 10/29/2012 4:52:43 PM
Is there live coverage now or still just the blue screen? That's all I'm getting...
