For people who may be interested, Vodafone is launching five new windows phone 8 devices on the 6th of this month.

the same date I can upgrade, but a windows based phone is not on my short-list to be honest.

I am interested. thank you.

You are welcomed, i thought someone would be interested.

The list of phones would of been nicer


The Nokia Lumia 920, 820 and 620, as well as the Windows Phone 8X and 8S by HTC, make up our new Windows Phone 8 army, and they’ll all be available to buy from Wednesday, 6th February.

I've been tempted by the 920 for q while, if vodafone offer it on 12 months I might go back to them.

But not sure how I would cope now having got used to using over 12Gb a month of data on three

Although having just read that there is no spotify app or Google music app I wont be getting a windows phone

Also some suggestions that gmail no longer supports windows phone

I just posted a link to the article, maybe they did not know what was going to be available at the time

i got little interest in it myself, I saw the article while I was looking at the site and thought someone may be interested.

does Gmail have a mobile website? Not the same as using the integrated email functionality of windows phone, I admit

It does yes. Its a bit crap though. It seemed pretty cluttered when i last used it on my iPhone. I just used Apple Mail instead.


I am too, i wish DS has like buttons sometimes.

No Spotify yet, but for Google music there's CloudMusik, which apparently works very well.

As for gMail, Google threatened to withdraw support for new Exchange ActiveSync connections on Jan 31, although existing connections will still work. This has now been extended to July 31st, meanwhile Microsoft are working on adding support for the open CardDAV and CalDAV standards for contact and calendar sync. Email will still work through IMAP.

Just read a Microsoft blog that says Microsoft are definitely not bringing card and cal Dav to windows phone

You got a link? I got that information off the Windows Phone blog.

I really need to look up how i've backed up our phones!

I wish i wrote documentation now!!!!!!!!!!!

Its ok seems the blog i was looking at was from December

I thought something must have changed because I set up my Google account in a W8 mail app just a few hours ago and it worked fine, including contacts.

Fairy nuff.
