HTC and Microsoft jointly announced the new Windows Phone 8X and 8S a couple of days ago, and we were genuinely impressed with both the design and ground-up approach…

I had an HTC Touch Diamond with Win Mobile 6.1. Still such fond memories of that handset that an 8x is my phone for 2013.

It is just me or HTC CEO Peter Chou's has said "Please wisit my girlfriend Steve Ballmer!" (from 5:00 to 5:10). LOL! ;D

"... and you know what happens when Steve is excited"

Interesting assertion by HTC. I thought Nokia owned half of the WP market?
3. Hunt3rj2 posted on 22 Sep 2012, 15:22 2 4
You forget that Pocket PC to Windows Mobile 6.5 falls under the Windows Phone category.
7. Hemlocke posted on 22 Sep 2012, 16:06 1 2
That would be semantics, considering the clean break between Windows Mobile and Windows Phone. Different names, different styles, etc.

He clearly meant Windows phones as apposed to Windows Phones.

nokia came in late by that time HTC was top WP sailer but nokia had quite big share after coming in

Agree... But unfortunately Nokia has put all his egg to one basket... Which is really risky
You know what i mean don't you? :)

If I get a windows phone, it will probably be a Nokia.

and honestly, a lot of people when you say Windows Phone, they'll choose or say Nokia like when you say android, they'll think about samsung!
34. dexter_jdr posted on 23 Sep 2012, 01:01 1 0
well you cant help it. blame apple. if you think of ios, you think of iphone only right? besides, nokia is the reason why windows phone is being noticed today

agree....
39. pegasso posted on 23 Sep 2012, 04:45 0 2
not here.
when you say Nokia, people will mention Symbian.
but when you say Windows phone, people will think about HTC (MWG/O2XDA/iMate/Qtek) and... Samsung...
40. dexter_jdr posted on 23 Sep 2012, 08:27 2 0
whats wrong with symbian? it is the best at multitasking ,more power friendly, more capabilities and more features. ive seen belle fp2 OS its the best... you can only complain the apps # , built in browser and elop.
but not too much on elop,because he made windows phone the new os of nokia
45. pikapowerize (banned) posted on 23 Sep 2012, 18:43 0 0
agree with you!!! SYMBIAN is the BEST MULTITASKER for a phone OS EVER!!! its still alive even you open many apps!
and yes the only problem with it is its browser, # of apps and elop!!
belle FP2 is really amazing!!! and even belle refresh on N8 and other products are so fluid!
i think belle FP2 is at its finest yet! really like the fluidity of the OS's UI!!!

well actually your right about that.. that when you think of nokia its symbian..but what i talk about is on these days now!
WP=NOKIA
ANDROID=samsung!
but im talking about worldwide on your second part! yes.. HTC might be the one who make winmo but as of today, they are android! and when you say WP.. its nokia! specially in my place, where HTC's phone are nowhere to be found in the market.. and samsung's WP aren't available to my place too!!
and NOKIA is also the reason why WP make it to other country!
WP isnt avaiable to my place until nokia release its lumias!
8. pikapowerize (banned) posted on 22 Sep 2012, 16:11 6 7
they must be talking about Windows Mobile coz honestly and Frankly, Nokia was the REAL hero on Windows Phone... no one cared about Windows Phone until nokia decided to join them! and that 3.5% of WP share is mostly nokia! and when u ask people about WP, they'll tell you a nokia lumia!
so HTC, shut the F U C K up! you just return to the WP coz you're troubled on the android game!
im sorry that i said that but what i said are fact!
19. pikapowerize (banned) posted on 22 Sep 2012, 18:44 1 5
and for those who gives me a thumbs down me.. i have a question..
name one WP device that make it to the best seller on a carrier?
name one WP device that make the WP platform worth a buzz? or atleast it make people want to look at a WP...
20. pikapowerize (banned) posted on 22 Sep 2012, 18:50 1 4
coz if you ask me..none but lumia 900!!!
HTC radar, titan/titan2 & others and other samsung devices are great Windows Phones but they dont give the buzz to WP like nokia did!
nokia lumia 900 made it to top 3 for weeks on AT&T's best seller... while the titan II which is release same time wasnt even found on top!
even they have partnership with Microsoft i think nokia can still pull it through coz they are NOKIA!
23. TROLL posted on 22 Sep 2012, 19:17 0 4
Nokia will be joining BB.
22. TROLL posted on 22 Sep 2012, 19:17 0 3
WP sucks. Restrictead prison OS. only 3 handsets. Zune is worser than iTunes. iTs still Half-Baked OS.....

Nokia Lumia 920 will smash HTC windows phones... Lumia phones now has an edge, time to regain it's throne...
14. hunted posted on 22 Sep 2012, 16:52 0 2
guys can someone help me, i am looking forward to buy lumia 920. Does it have file transfer via bluetooth like we do in android phones? please help
15. PhoneArenaUser posted on 22 Sep 2012, 17:01 2 2
Yes, Nokia Lumia 920 has Bluetooth but I'm not sure if there is an restrictions on what file formats can be sent or received.
Also I'm still not sure about what Bluetooth version Nokia Lumia 920 will have because official Nokia's web page ( http://www.nokia.com/gb-en/products/phone/lumia920/specifications/ ) says 3.1 while official Bluetooth's web page says 4.0 ( https://www.bluetooth.org/tpg/EPL_Detail.cfm?ProductID=23788 )
16. Dunknown posted on 22 Sep 2012, 17:36 5 5
Nokia will be my only choice. I trust Nokia all the way. My family have been using Nokia since Nokia introduce a big bulky phone with an antena above it. Nokia is reliable. Besides that, I think HTC is copying Nokia N9, Nokia L800, Nokia L900 and Nokia L920 design. I'm not sure wether Nokia will bring HTC to court like Apple and the Samsung. For me, I will definetly bring HTC to court if their phone sell well. IT is complete duplicate phone from NOkia high end smart phone. The curve 2.5 D screen and a curve back everything.
17. wendygarett posted on 22 Sep 2012, 18:28 1 5
Why do you keep sayin they copy Nokia?
HTC just design to inspire the wp8 --- COLOUR!!!
Besides, Microsoft will definitely stop and warn HTC if it found infringement...
38. shadez10 posted on 23 Sep 2012, 02:33 2 1
i agree with you... the design is a copy from the Lumia design...
27. Samsomesh posted on 22 Sep 2012, 21:33 1 0
Nokia was the best.!! And can be if gets with android.. No one can compete nokia's hardware and mapping... But nokia needs a good Leader.. Not elop

Nokia was not the best. Nokia is the best. Android is not a good os. It is very messy types of OS same like windows. The old symbian was the best. Much more organised. Now, windows is better than any os in the market. But i would like to choose symbian if there is one

stop this android is the key crap
android isnt a guaranteed solution for success. besides its crowded with samsung, HTC, Motorola,LG, Sony etc. not saying if they spread to an android device it woudnt sell but its not gonna be there saviour
wp8 and the lumia range are looking great, easily able to compete with android and iOS

Still remember my TILT I...loved modding it and was able to sell it for 150.00 back in 2010.

Nokia should embrace both Android and Windows. I think a lot of people are interested in getting an Android Nokia phone, me included.
