Win Mobile

So it appears that Win Mobile is doing pretty well. I wonder what that is from Nokia, or if it has to do with the user experience with their devices. Like I have said before, Win Mobile is amazing. It is the best OS that I have used on a Mobile device. I can't wait for the long awaited 7.8 update. I want to give it a try before seeing how it functions before getting into 8. I guess that is coming out next year now. Which I am sure that it will be worth the wait. I can't get enough of the live tiles and can't wait to have the option to resize them. Everyone looking forward to the holiday season? Did you get everything that you wanted? Did you wait outside for hours to save $50 on a device that wasn't needed? It would be interesting to see how many phones were sold on Black Friday. Just a thought being that I really didn't see too many ads for new phones or sales. --gsmguy

Black Friday

It is almost that time, where people go nuts buying items all on one day. So what are you most excited for? For me, it is people watching. Sure I have my list, sure I'll go a couple of places, but for the most part it is more fun to watch people. People are so excited and don't pay any attention to what they're doing. If you want a great laugh, just watch. So does that mean that we should all race out? That is for you to decide. Can you really go some place just to save $50 on an item that you won't ever use? Well hopefully you have some luck with whatever you are looking for. I will be out and about, but not really making a lot of purchasing...that will come on Cyber Monday. Well good luck and godspeed.

Nokia Lumia 920

It is here on AT&T. It is something that should hopefully sell well and make Nokia a strong brand. I know a lot of people are not crazy about how Nokia is working directly with Microsoft on their new OS. But in reality, it couldn't have worked out any better. I know that sales of the first Lumia weren't that much, I think I read somewhere that it was around 4 million devices. Which is pretty cool thinking about how many phones that Apple has sold, think it is around 39 million. So what is good about this phone? Will it change everyone's thoughts on Microsoft? Is it considered a gateway to Windows 8? Wait...that last question. I think that it is to bridge the gape between Windows 8 and mobile. The device allows people to get a similar experience as they do on their home computers. I don't think that people realize that, as I haven't seen it on any blogs that I have read. So let's see what people thing. I will wait a bit to get my Lumia once it drops a little bit. I don't need a new one, since I have the 900 and it works flawlessly. I absolutely love the phone and think it is the best device that I have ever owned. So we will just have to wait and see what happens.

Releases?

It's weird to think about how far we have come. Knowing that something that we love now, will be totally out of date by this time next year. So I wen't out and bought an ipad. Not the new one, but number 3. I figured that it would be interesting to see how it relates to my android tablet. I got to say I'm not that impressed. There isn't really anything special that it can do that my andriod tablet can't do. I have the same apps, though on itunes they are about twice the amount that they are on android. The release of the new mini is interesting to ready about. I was thinking that would be the device that I wanted, but in reality, since it isn't anything high def, could care less. Today marks the release of Halo 4 for Xbox 360. I remember that I have been apart of launch day for every Halo release. I wake up super early to go to Target and be one of the first to get my hands on the release. I was reading that Microsoft is really going to do a lot with marketing of this game. I guess we will have to wait to see...oh and I will be getting my copy later today. Should be interesting not have Bungie making it. Hopefully it will be good as the reviews have been pretty decent. Nokia is releasing the next line of Lumia on ATT on Friday. For $100 you can get one of the new 920's. I don't know if I should go out and get one, since I am still liking the 900 that I currently have. I guess I'll wait and see if the price drops on ebay before getting one to test out Windows Mobile 8. Happy Tuesday. --gsmguy
