Here's a list with new features expected from the Windows Phone 8 launch

Microsoft detailed the new features in Windows Phone 8 as early as this summer, leaving us in anticipation a full couple of months before the thing hits phones, and they hit shelves.

It mainly stressed on the improved home screen experience with resizable and movable tiles, as well as the new hardware support, like HD screens and dual-core processors, which got utilized pretty quickly in phones like the Nokia Lumia 920, HTC 8X or the Samsung ATIV S. There is plenty more to look forward to, and the full laundry list is posted in the source link.

Some of those features got officially revealed already, others were a subject of rumors all this time, so it will be interesting to compare what from the hearsay in some of the selected feature slides below will actually materialize in a few hours when Microsoft takes the stage at 10am PT. We''ll be there live to let you know what's happening.
