We’ve heard it multiple times over the past few months and we’re hearing it again today: Microsoft is working on their own smartphone.
In an effort to convince existing smartphone owners to switch to Windows Phone 8, Microsoft has released an update to Windows Phone sync tool for OS X. Check it out after the jump.
Google may have gatecrashed Microsoft's party by announcing a flurry of Nexus devices along with Android 4.2, but today has always been about Microsoft and Windows Phone 8. Many of the features of Windows Phone 8 have already been revealed over the past couple of months, but the Redmond company has still saved plenty for the long-awaited announcement today.
Microsoft is all set and ready to launch Windows Phone 8 later today, and we can hardly wait. Windows Phone 7.x showed tremendous promise, but lacked in many key areas, and having spent the past twelve or so months meticulously arranging its successor, the wraps are almost ready to be taken off.
Windows Phone 8 might just be a short while way from its official launch, but even now, new features are still being unveiled on a daily basis. Microsoft may have already covered most of the main perks and quirks of WP8, but those anxious to learn what the Redmond company has in store have continued to dig. Unearthing the latest gem is Nokia Innovation, which has shared an image of what appears to be Windows Phone 8's Live Wallpaper lock screen feature.
The RT edition of the Microsoft Surface is, after a substantial wait, just about to release to market, but instead of marveling over the Redmond company's first entry into the lucrative field of the tablet, it's only right we begin focusing on what Microsoft is planning to treat us to in the near future.
Customers of T-Mobile in the United States have some good news to get excited about, with the official announcement that the network and Nokia have formed a partnership that will see them introduce and offer the Nokia Lumia 810 exclusively to T-Mobile customers.
Announced back in mid 2011 and publicly previewed earlier this year, Windows Phone 8 is the next major release of Microsoft’s Windows Phone platform. We’ve seen a smorgasbord of new features demoed and exciting new smartphones announced from companies like Nokia, Samsung, and HTC, but until now we didn’t have a confirmed release date for the OS or the new phones that come based on it.
Windows Phone 8, which will be released later this month along with the various other editions of Microsoft's new-look operating system, is highly anticipated in the mobile industry, and there are a variety of reasons behind this. Although it's a promising platform in itself, the initial devices - notably Nokia's Lumia 920 - have a lot of prospective smartphone purchasers salivating, and to add to that, it looks as though Microsoft will indeed be releasing its own brand of smartphone for its fledgling ecosystem.
The release of Windows Phone 8, and all the associated products and gadgets therein, has always seemed like a long way away, but with October now upon us, we're just a couple of weeks away from the big launch, and if you've been looking forward to owning one of the first Windows Phone 8 handsets, your wait is almost over. Today, the HTC 8X has been spotted in the wild - just a week after the highly-anticipated Lumia 920 was also spotted out and about - and the world gets its first glimpse at the Taiwanese company's Windows Phone 8 effort courtesy of some testing done on the streets of San Francisco.
