The official M$ (Microsoft) thread.

[qwerty_jones]

Don't sleep on Microsoft products 2012-2013 is a huge year. I'm posting updates feel free to discuss.

What's new Sept 14, 2012

Windows Phone 8 hit RTM

That means the software is finished and is set to manufactures for a October - November release. Expect phones from Samsung, Nokia and HTC this Fall. No delays on-time for developers expect the SDK next week.

Rumor: Nokia 920 arriving on AT&T October 21st

Not sure if this is true but expect the Nokia Lumia 820/920 available on ATT anytime between October 21st to November 2nd. Not sure on prices but looking at competition I think it goes like this on ATT,

99$ Nokia Lumia 820 - 349$ off contract
199$ Nokia Lumia 920 - 599$ off contract.

The 920 has 32GB of space not like the iPhone5 16GB at 199$

M$ will probably run a promotion cop a new Lumia and get a new Microsoft Surface RT tablet and a Windows 8 upgrade... Something like that to push sales they might throw in an Xbox 360.

Not sure on other carriers I know T-Mobile and Verizon will atleast get the 820 the 920 might be a timed exclusive only to ATT.

Too bad they dont have nearly as much good apps as droid or ios to fill that 32gb

Like what? Marketplace has 100,000+ apps and they have killer app's not available on Android and iOS.

Windows should surpass Android's marketplace sometime next year and on-par with Apple's in 2014.

A film about the best display: Nokia PureMotion - YouTube

Nokia PureMotion technology probably the best display in the game. How does it compare to the iPhone5

iPhone 5 retina: 326 pixels per inch
Nokia Lumia 920 HD+ PureMotion: 331 pixels per inch

Defiantly beat the iPhone5 nothing is messing with Nokia Clear Black that shyt is amazing

name the best apps.

I still have yet to see a windows phone in person or anyone with one btw

That's cool doesn't mean they don't have apps breh trust me with Windows 8 coming out MS spending 1 billion on marketing your going to see more Windows Phone users out there in the wild.

Just like the Xbox comes into the game doesn't sell well first 2 years. 360 arrives BAM changes the video game industry and is now #1

Not saying that Lumia is better just stating that there are other alternatives.

Ballmer shoots down the 199$ Microsoft Surface rumor. The price for a Surface tablet should be around the 300-800$ price range

Doesn't mean MS might offer a Windows RT tablet for 199$ plus a Xbox Live subscription I'm guessing pricing is going to look like this

299$ - Microsoft Surface RT release October 26
499$ - Microsoft Surface Pro release Q4
