Microsoft's Windows Phone launch event happen that it even included skyscrapers we go hands on the samsung focus s and tell you all about it and tango video chat goes live for everyone we show you how it works all this and more coming up right now hello everyone I'm hi I'm Eddie Vetter with pocketnow.com and welcome to Windows Phone view the show we wrap up all this week's good and bad inside the mold of Microsoft's Windows Phone platform let's talk this week off with what's good well as we mentioned last week Microsoft had their windows phone launch event in New York City and well it seems that we're throwing everything out even the kitchen sink these guys went to the point of building this Windows Phone skyscraper building two for the event and our own Adam Lane was there to cover it with celebrities like VIN rock from Naughty by Nature the event was really good in Adam even had a chance to play with some future windows phones in the pipeline and even filmed some video for us so make sure you hit the links in the description and the top until you tell us what you think about the Windows Phone launch events in the comments down below and well since we started with our weeks coverage make sure you catch Adam lanes recent unboxing and videos of the samsung focus s from AT&T so far the device does not disappoint it brings the iconic design from the samsung galaxy s2 from android to Windows Phone and well it brings really great specs to the table the Vice performs really well the design is really thin and this is pretty much the best of the best for windows phone right now so make sure you hit the links for the videos and hit the link of the description for the full list of specs and everything you can expect on the samsung focus s and what about nokia this week well so far we have some leaked images of some sort of tango champagne or champagne tango phone which seems to bring some mid-range specs to the windows phone arena nothing really big now interesting enough we have no keep probably working on bringing their Lumia 800 with LTE for AT&T now don't hold your breath with that one because so far we know that Windows Phone 7 doesn't support LTE and we are expecting Apollo within the last quarter of next year to bring LTE support so we don't really expect to happen but aside from that it seems that the partnership does get better because somebody already figured out how to hack out the music application from nokia and bring it to everybody else so hit the link in the description for details on how to get it and now let's talk about video shots so far all mango phones bring a front-facing video camera but no applications take any advantage of it whatsoever but that ends right now because tango has just brought their free video chat application for windows phone 7 and it actually works both a platform with other platforms watch Adam lanes recent video on how to get tango on your device and how it works and what makes it even better as the fact that you don't really need a front-facing camera to use tango you can actually use the back camera though you'll have to use a mirror or something to actually be able to see the person that's on the other end so watch Adam lanes video which is really good with the link upstairs and tell us what you think about tango it's completely free and it works with other platforms and while speaking about great software making it to Windows Phone 7 Spotify has just made their official debut on the marketplace the app is obviously free though sadly you're going to have to pay 10 bucks if you want to actually use it for streaming on your Windows Phone device within the spotify account you can actually log on with Facebook or with your spotify account if you want we don't recommend you linking that to Facebook but aside from that it seems to bring a special different sort of arena for music though again if we if Microsoft didn't have the zune pass for Windows Phone we could call Spotify compelling but you're going to pay the same money for one service or the other we really don't see a point there but again you have the option you have a spotify account you can now use it on your Windows Phone device and well you can also use a zune pass if you don't like it so far zune pass is our favorite but spotify is making a really good job and it actually works multi-platform if you're coming from android or iOS and want to use this on with those phone 7 that is our for the goodness continue all with what's bad and let's begin talking about phones now it's kind of funny that we need this for the bad section but sadly it seems that manufacturers are not doing a good job in telling us when their phones are going to be out I mean our HTC Titan review is already live and so far we still don't know when the time is going to be released but we finally dug deep and found the dates November 20 this is going to be your date for you to find it on retailers but that's pretty much it for the Titan aside from now let's talk about the Nokia Lumia service when are they going to come to the United States so far nobody has any dates and well it does seem that other people in Europe are actually having a hard time finding one unlocked because nokia apparently doesn't want to sound that way not really sure what to make of this or what to expect from nokia in the future but we are expecting these devices to make it here soon at least on early 2012 if they're not already pushed out by the competition it's a great device but if you're not really doing a job in pointing it to your masses hey iOS is really pushing this so they really need to get their act together that's it for today's show thank you very much for watching I'm hi Matt ivetta remember to give us a thumbs up if you liked what you saw that's it for now you
