Invites rolling out for Microsoft's Windows Phone 29th October event in Milan, Italy

It's coming. Windows Phone 8 is coming.

Microsoft plans to hold an event in Milan on October 29th for the unveiling of the next version of Windows Phone. The company is slowly reaching the release date for its mobile platform and we're set to see exactly what's what (as well as hardware pricing and availability) at the end of the month - just in time for the holiday season.

We've also got an event in the UK and the US on the very same day, which Windows Phone Central will be covering. Be sure to stay tuned to our front page on the day for all the announcements and some hands-on action.
