Windows Phone 8 Apollo Preview June 20th
On June 20th, 3 Wednesdays time, Microsoft are apparently going to be showing the world a little sneak peek at the future of Windows Phone.
As much as I would love to see a preview now, I’m inclined to want to keep this a secret until a WP8 handset is available – most preferably, some form of high end Nokia Lumia.

I am trying to keep any expectations I have as low as possible, despite the fact that, well – it has to be brilliant or else, what’s the point?!
Cheers Kaizer Allen and Mitun for the tip

Hopefully a pureview Nokia lumia windows 8 phone
!!
PureView branded ? yes. 808 tech ? No.
Tell us more
I doubt he can, I imagine he was trying to have a dig at WP…
Hopefully we get the option to keep wifi on even if the screen if off/sleep.
seriously ? And they want me to switch from symbian… they will have to try a little harder.
I am using a Nokia X7 now but expecting a Lumia 900 in the mail.
I could not belive that there is no option to keep WIFI on all the time in WP7 for people that do not have data plans.
The only downside of Symbian is lack of apps and UI. As far as battery life and functionality is concerned, it’s a BOSS!
Yeah its pretty stupid. But i think is it for better battery Life. While charging wifi stays on
Symbian is definitely not stupid.but it requires the user also to be smart enough to unveil its smartness.if you are the install-and-play kind of user,learn some coding and h@cking first.
That’s the problem with the Symbian. It requires lots of knowledge and it’s not targetted for people with basic skills or no experience with working for (yeah, for) a computer.
I really hope the Lumia series will catch up because that UI gives little hope for people wanting just to use the device.
To be exact, wifi stays on just fine if the screen is locked, if it is in use.
I listen to streaming radio all the time over wifi. When the device locks it does not disconnect the wifi and switch to mobile data, it keeps playing over wifi all day, with or without charger.
I understand what you mean, and it would be nice if it could do updates in your pocket if wifi is in range for roaming situations etc, but it’s not nearly as bad as the simple version makes it sound (and the responses it provokes)
i dnt knw why read preview as pureview. Damn i got excited
Don’t worry, I initially wrote Preview as PreView having got used to writing PureView so many times.
Only thing missing is u.
“Only thing missing is u.
”
That sounded like cheesy pick up line, LOL
That was some of my best work :p jks
That’s exactly what I was thinking haha!
Well I do hope we get some PureView at this event
*kilig!*
lolz keeping fingers crossed… if there is no sim tool kit ..ussd code support. and other obvious things it should already have, then i wont give windows another chance for a while
Judging by the abundance of W8 tablets in all shapes, sizes and function announced at Computex today, it is clear Nokia is going to be up against some wicked competition in the tablet space–I hope they their mojo is on and their up for it. I didn’t expect to see such compelling devices this early, ASUS in particular is betting big on W8.
samsung ,htc,LG etc are going to bring out some top notch phones.its been somewhat confirmed by samsung that they will bring galaxy note and galaxy s3 version of windowsphone 8.
yeah, a pretty impressive lineup of devices so far… i for one am very excited about the aio and notebook devices that double as tablets. windows 8 doesn’t seem that bad of a move after all
I think Microsoft is following the 2011 Apple model where they announce the new iteration of iOS at WWDC, and the iPhone in October. I don’t like it either, because the buzz surrounding the release might be gone once the phones carrying the new operating system are announced.
If they are going to add support for native code, they need to provide developers with enough time to create apps / port existing ones of other platforms.
I am expecting a deluge of applications ( mainly games) getting added on to the marketplace once this is announced.
Microsoft can secretly just hand out SDKs to developers. If that’s even possible, of course.
It better be good microsoft. C’mon nokia we need your features in wp8 . True multitasking , please.
There is no way MS will introduce Multi-tasking in WP8 when they haven’t done that to the Metro apps in Win8: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/05/31/windows_8_metro_and_multitasking/
From the invite image, it seems WP8 is more of an upgrade to WP7.x instead of one unified with Win8.
I think it may be a bit too early to tell based on that invite image alone, hopefully 20th June should bring some (hopefully) pleasant surprises.
I know that but an invite usually gives clues regarding what the unveiling would be…
I take your point but I still think it’s a bit too early to tell from that one invite. Bring on 20th June.

Sorry, duplicate post!
Dont like win7 or 8
symbian have true multitasking .
We can minimize 57 apps and mobile is not lagging
symbian have all basic and major features
wp not have basic features
so symbian 10/10
WP8 will be the make or break for Nokia, given their dependence on the window phone platform. Almost everybody is going gaga with huge phone’s specs: dual cores, quad cores, 1 gb ram, 2 gb ram, etc. It seems most people would go for a high spec phone than an efficient OS on a low spec. That’s one of the reason Android phones sell so well, and a low interest in window phones. I wonder if it would hurt Nokia if they too join the bandwagon. I mean, imagine a Nokia window phone with quad cores and 2 gb rams. You may say the window phone OS don’t need it because it’s so efficient, but who cares? Just do it! Afterall, it’s all about the sales. If Nokia can’t capture people’s interest now, they never will.
