nokia lumia 900 pre-orders begin saving you money acc locations brings another offline navigation solution and I guess Windows Phone just got smoked all the sim more coming up right now hello we r 1 i'm jaime with pocketnow.com and welcome to Windows Phone view the show we wrap up all this week's good and bad inside the world of Microsoft's Windows Phone platform let's talk this week off what's good April laith is the day people write it down in your calendars and make sure you get your wallets ready because the AT&T Nokia Lumia 900 will be available on that date for sale and get this it'll only cost you 99 bucks and it's kind of interesting because usually LTE devices cost you like 300 bucks after two year contract but this time AT&T is playing it differently with this Lumia and it's not like if they need it to compete with price because this is a very gorgeous phone but it doesn't stop there if you make your pre-order in Walmart as of March 30th you only have to pay 50 bucks for the phone kind of interesting but not finish there if you also pre-order the device on AT&T and you're lucky enough to be one of their first most probably not that case anymore but if you're lucky enough to be there hey you could even get the phone for free interesting to see all these dramatic changes in pricing Nokia seems to be doing their job and being aggressive that's great now if Nokia is not your thing april eighth is also the day where AT&T plans to launch their LTE version of the HTC Titan to that we recently had some one-on-one time at CES aside from the great speeds the processor and the design what makes the acc tiny to special is the fact that you get a 16 megapixel camera on a Windows Phone obviously it's still going to be stuck at 720p video recording that has to do with the operating system not necessarily the camera but the only problem here is that it will cost you 1 99 after two-year contracts in case of the Lumia so it's going to be kind of an interesting competition there HTC lovers will have their phone but it's going to be kind of a no-brainer which device to choose because even though you get the 16 megapixel camera on the HTC time to you get call size optics on the Lumia 900 kind of a no-brainer now i'm going back to nokia interesting notice that they seem to be working on a new nokia TV application and service sort of like what you get with acc watch only that this obviously will bring their sort of proprietary services and features apparently the leak show that this proves to work over Wi-Fi and 3G or LTE data and though we're still not sure how they plan to compete though obviously it's not like if you get the HTC watch service on nokia devices anyway so time will tell see what they bring to the table probably some on the man TV movies and hopefully like TV you never know out of this week's coverage make sure you catch adam lanes recent video where he compares the HTC location service with Nokia Maps for those of you that haven't heard ACC locations brings offline maps the HTC devices pretty much for free so it's kind of an interesting service out there it's really cool that Adam got the time to compare it watch the video for details also catches recent xbox live preview of I Sun two of your interested in getting rid of your snowboarding habits off your back and also make sure you catch Morgan's recent editorial on his five months using Windows 8 and the reasons why this version will definitely matter okay so add this is for the good let's continue on with what's bad and let's start talking about Microsoft's campaign smoked by Windows Phone kind of a gangster named but still there's a guy named saw Scott's I and I most probably destroy the guy's name right now I'm really sorry but he won the battle with a Samsung Galaxy Nexus he showed Microsoft that he could prove and load weather and two different places at the same time with two different widgets very smart but then microsoft store employees told him that he had to show that he could do it in two different states not the same state which is kind of stupid because no smartphone operating system differentiates whether you're looking for whether in russia and New York and it'll take longer than what it usually takes it takes the same amount of time so Microsoft's been Rudolf came on record and try to make things right though the winner ended up giving everything to charity because he definitely didn't consider things to be right so it kind of makes you wonder if this sort of campaign is good or not anyways and hey if you have a windows phone on AT&T and you're interested in the 8107 update that brings a lot of bug fixes including email bug fixes well you're in bad luck because AT&T just came on record to say that they were not going to be offering every single updating Microsoft was launching because eventually they just had these cumulative updates come in the future so apparently to them that you're still going to get the update in the future so if you have problems with email ATT says don't worry you can live with that you can just continue on and you can wait for the next update extremely laying the updates out there and sadly AT&T customers are not getting it too bad to see that Microsoft can't do their thing right here and try to make things right for customers that's it for today's show thank you very much for watching on hind metal you better remember to give us a thumbs up if you liked what you saw that's it for now
