Steadicam take over because I'm tired of these like shaky hand leaked photos I want some say you know what if you got an awesome new device and you're risking your job or your reputation or whatever to leak it use a good camera steady your hands get a tripod to the good photo anyway I the radar 4g Windows Phone 7 mango device also said to be coming in the near term to t-mobile USA and some shots of this one showing the boot up screen showing that it's a 4g device showing that it also is running and apparently will ship with mango and tango not to be confused with tango & cash mango and tango tango being the two-way video call system that is going to be unleashed upon the world on the next generation of Windows Phone 7 devices running mango because these devices will feature front-facing cameras as well as rear facing cameras so t-mobile USA customers and fans keep your eyes peeled for the Ruby and the radar 4g whatever they're called when they finally launch because I don't think that's going to be called coming in the next i would say 22 to 24 to 26 weeks with more than 23 million vers Netflix is the world's largest subscription service instantly streaming TV episodes and movies members can instantly watch thousands of titles on a vast array of devices streaming TV episodes and movies including Sony's ps3 microsoft xbox 360 game console and the nintendo wii console as a netflix unlimited member you can instantly watch as many movies as you like anytime you like for one low monthly price there are no due dates and no late fees for a limited time as a new member and technobuffalo viewer you can get a free 30-day trial just go to netflix.com slash buffalo that's netflix.com slash b uff alo be sure to use that URL so they know we sent you last is really not least staying in the realm of phone rumors with the letter R involved in them that was a stretch of a Segway sorry who is Joe Marini and why did he lose his job Joe Marini is or I should say was a principal product manager at Microsoft in the windows phone division why'd he lose his job well Microsoft won't confirm the specific reasons but they have confirmed according to publish reports that he is no longer with the company apparently he resigned perhaps resigned before he could be fired over a series of tweets from his personal Twitter account at Joe Marini what were the tweets about the tweets of course were about an unreleased cell phone apparently Joe had some things to say about an upcoming nokia device running Windows Phone 7 and he started out by talking about how great the device was and then took it down a notch only giving it an 8 out of 10 first he said I just got a chance to try out one of the slickest looking nokia phones i have ever seen soon you will too hashtag wp7 then he was asked to rate the phone on a scale of 1 to 10 he replied overall I would say an eight solid feel good camera responsive UI and nice little touches in the body construction then he went on because you know if you're going to start digging your own grave may as well keep digging then he went on to explain why he gave the phone in 8 and not a 9 or even a 10 yeah the camera was good but I didn't have optimal lighting I'd like a larger screen too so you're gonna leak a tweet about a device that's really really your company you work for a huge company you're a product manager on the line that this device is coming out of it's a big deal and you start out talking about how it's the slickest thing ever and then when asked to explain yourself give it an eight out of ten talk about how the screen isn't as big as it should be probably not a smart move probably why Joe Marine is looking for a new gig now good luck Joe I hope you find one and I hope you think twice about your tweets next time something that I probably should do actually something we all should do there you go I and the nokia windows phone 7 devices expected to launch nokia world in London end of October those HTC phones the Ruby and the radar you know could be any day now couple of weeks probably for the Ruby a little bit further out for the radar the next iPhone October fourth fingers crossed thanks again to our friends at Netflix for sponsoring this week's episode of rumor roundup thanks to revision 3 for having us thanks to John quach for editing this making my head look nice and thanks to you all for watching until next time I'm Noah Kravitz editor-at-large for TechnoBuffalo we'll see you later bye bye Joe Marini at Joe Marini gonna do that whole segment whore yeah when do the whole segment over all right I'm having trouble with this last but certainly not least
