Microsoft is late with Windows Phone 8
Partners have already announced a lot of devices on Windows Phone 8, and the operating system itself, it turns out, is not yet ready. Back in late July, it was rumored that Microsoft was withdrawing the developers of the new operating system from the holidays, so that they could bring it to mind and release it as soon as possible. However, apparently, it has not yet been possible to do this.
According to several sources, the original Windows Phone 8 would be released in early October, before the release of Windows 8. It is now said that Windows Phone 8 will be introduced on October 29, along with Windows 8, and the first devices will appear in November.

However, this is not a fact. Rather, not quite a fact. We spent weeks on additional testing and debugging, so now Microsoft, again according to rumors, works closely with US operators to speed up the process of bringing devices to the market and start selling as soon as possible, at least in November, to take advantage of the preseason excitement and advertising campaign of Windows 8 itself. In some cases, this means that the devices will simply not be customized for a particular operator, and in the majority - that the process of testing the devices by the cellular operators themselves will be reduced En to the minimum.
While Samsung, Nokia and HTC present their devices on Windows Phone 8, but Microsoft prohibits showing the OS itself (for example, Samsung showed its smartphones with static screens, not letting them be in the hands of journalists). Mainly due to the instability of some parts of the operating system and that no one has spotted the not yet announced WP8 functions.
Now we focus on the first decade of November as the beginning of sales of the first products with WP8. However, it is unlikely that in the current situation companies can be lost in quality for the sake of speed - if Microsoft again conducts beta testing on users, this could be, if not the end of the entire Windows Phone ecosystem, then the reason for its long-term stagnation.
