With the announcement of Microsoft and Nokia Lumia 920 last week can be interpreted as a pre-emptive attack before Apple released the iPhone 5, but the staff of both companies are working overtime to make sure Windows Phone 8 release schedule. We hear from various sources that Microsoft was planning to launch Windows Phone 8 in early October, before the launch of Windows 8. Currently, Microsoft is targeting a launch event on October 29 and updated with the devices in November, a slight delay from its original schedule.

Delays and bugs during testing have pushed back the launch, and associated devices, by weeks. We're told that HTC in particular has had a tough time testing one of its Windows Phone 8 devices, a process that has impacted its ability to announce handsets as early as Samsung and Nokia. Microsoft has been working closely with US carriers to ensure testing times are reduced. In some cases carriers may ship devices without any of the usual customizations, to reduce test times and ensure a November launch schedule remains likely. The tight schedule means that any delays in final carrier testing will impact the availability dates of Windows Phone 8 devices.
Microsoft is expected to make a final version at the beginning of this week, but they have worked with Samsung, Nokia, HTC to introduce more about this new operating system. Samsung is the first company released Windows Phone 8, but the company was not able to use their experience WP8 devices. Discussions with Samsung, they revealed in an internal memo, Jo Harlow (Nokia) noted that it was "a nice warm-up act for us"ahead of the company's Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 launch."Microsoft does not dictate when manufacturers announce their products," said Harlow.


Nokia has launched its latest Lumia devices last week, but members of the media have been prevented from reaching the operating system Windows Phone 8. We are told that this is mainly due to the fear of Microsoft on features yet to be announced, and the fact that some parts of the operating system is not stable. Network operator EE announced its first 4G service for the UK today, backed with an exclusivity deal on the Lumia 920. Although devices were on display at the event, Nokia had to cover them in glass to prevent onlookers from playing with Windows Phone 8. The company has also been sending out dummy devices to members of the press in the UK.

Microsoft plans to release Windows Phone 8 at the end of October, we expect the company will reveal all the remaining features as Corner Kid, Rooms. The SDK is said to be released on September 12, and the testing process is underway with AT & T and Verizon for Samsung, HTC, and Nokia devices. If testing goes well then, the Nokia device can be released on November 2, and with the other handsets in November.
