Lumia 920 Articles

Windows phones have always had a pretty bad rap for being slow and clunky. Although the outer shell may be nice to look at and hold, the Windows phone based operating systems just never seem to cut through the clutter to make it into mainstream markets like Apple’s iOS and Android did.

Windows is back to try things again with their new line of Windows 8 phones, specifically the HTC 8X and HTC 8S. Windows partnered with HTC to brand their phones as “HTC Windows Phone 8” so that the “Windows” name was right in the name of the product this time around to hopefully reposition themselves as a powerhouse in the phone market. If in the past Nokia had the real Windows Phone touch, now it’s te time for HTC to get that unique feeling.

Let’s take a look at what Windows is offering this time around and how the market looks for them.

The Nokia Lumia 820 and 920 models are both on the way to the market soon and will be the first Windows 8 mobile devices that are launching. While they will probably be officially announced on September 5th 2012 (this coming Wednesday) when Nokia and Microsoft have a huge press get together in New York – they are still technically a rumor.

As the official announcements haven’t come through for the phones yet details are still a bit sparse though there have been 3 official pieces of information that came out about the phones today for anyone who has been looking to know more. The first of the three will even shine a light on some of the technical specs of the two devices though not all of the details are yet available. The launch date is also just a rumor until the official release but we expect to see the official release date in late October or early November.
