We're here, live at Microsoft's Build developer conference. On tap this morning on day one is the opening keynote, coming in at a butt numbing three hours in length. So you can bet Microsoft will have a lot to say in that time, including Windows Phone 8.1, Cortana and even a new app or two.
Head below to join in your own chat room to discuss the keynote as it happens, and watch our live commentary and photos as we cover the event live. We'll add the embed of the keynote as well.
The event kicks off at 8:30 AM PT / 11:30 am ET/ 4:30 PM GMT / 9:00 PM IST.

Official support for moving apps to SD cards is the biggest reason why I'm considering switching back to WP from Android! WHOOOOOOOOO!!!
VERY EXCITES!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, if they can advertised this the right way
I miss the live feed, any place I can watch it again?
@danielrubino when is the preview of developers releasing?
Nowhere close to even being a developer but we do need to see more links to Windows Phone apps in emails it is always for ios and android - having watched the presentation I see maybe I can get more people to give a Windows Phone a chance .
No phone for devs. Fuck you Microsoft. CEO mocks us that he just got one.
They used to give stuff for developers. If they aren't going to do that then charge less. Don't charge 2k and hand me back 1k of stuff I could have bought in best buy.
When is this update coming?
And how and when developers can get this update first..
miss live feed, any place i can watch again?
http://channel9.msdn.com/?wt.mc_id=build_hp just click the start of the video timeline
Can anyone please tell me where to get that software to get windows 8.1 as preview???
i haven't seen anything thing about the 3 medium row tiles on the ativ s, im getting it next week so anyone has any information please!, don't want to get a phone with no update, and i have a developer account so i think i should get it but someone confirm please
When it will be available for the developers??
If file manager was der it wud hv been perfect...but its ok hopin for it in the nxt updates
Yes they did.
ooo 930 announced on the stream
Preview available on the 10th
I'm so jealous of you WPC that are there at build!!! free XO and a $500 GC, lol
hmm did they just announce free windows?
Don't think it's for regular computers.
No official file manager was mentioned, but you can search the entire phone through Cortana.
Will there be a newly created Facebook app or the same old Facebook app present on wp 8.1??
Will there be file manager for wp 8.1 ? I think this feature should have been added ..
Not fully impressed. Had been looking forward to at least a file manager, c'mon MS. But the rest sounds amazing. Here's hoping we can get our hands on the dev preview soon. And Cortana please be available on every country, please oh please.
I'm thinking that too.Just can't seem to understand what problem does MS have with a file manager.
I wonder if he can hear it...
It started 2 hours earlier, here in Saudi Arabia 4:30GMT is 7:30, but it started at 5:30 :'(
Is it just me or is there a woman chattering during treachmill's session?
They just clubbed her...
Hearing it too
http://live.theverge.com/microsoft-build-2014-live-blog/
Watching it now till now..... WP8.1 part is over.... W8.1.1 going on.....
Damn I reached my wi-fi bandwidth... The stream took 2.1GB already :P
Hope so file manager is still in the list...
Sorry to say that they should have streamed the event on YouTube. They obviously don't have the capacity to handle everyone. It's not cool to sit here trying to refresh on Channel 9 all day. I quit.
I hav already installed windows 8.1 update
Please tell me when preview for developers will be available??
Whaaaat??? Wp 8.1 will become available in the next months?? Omg i forgot how to breathe for a few seconds...
I'm so excited!! Wish I could be there instead of here working!!!
I can't believe you mistaken the GMT time!!!!! I didn't see most of the amazing thinggggg!!!!
Guys I can't watch the stream (not at home) please can you answer my few questions please ;-;
When they are going to release preview for dev?
Is cortona only available in US? (hope not ;-;)
And how does WP 8.1 looks.
Seriously I am hyped as fuck, I am pretty sure I wasn't this hyper when I was going to have sex for the first time ;-; I am crying
Same here bro. But as far as i have seen the live blog, none of the authors have talked about it.
First US (beta...) then UK...China
this crowd seems dead. whats the story? they don't seem to receptive to any of this.
Guess most of them have huge hangover's... :P
Or they may be dead...
No, heard applaud. Think they are alive :P
That was playback :D
How many are able to watch the stream smoothly? Mine is chugging.
The watched the whole, smoothly. It must be your wi-fi connection i gues...
If you missed anything important:

Cortana seems to be better then Siri !
Siri...❔❔
And faster... See what I did there???
Just waiting for the developer preview release date...
I WANT THAT CORTANA SHIRT!
+930
I seee android is crying
I cried a little bit...Cortana!
Ohhhhhhhho my god
Wow, it announced and preview for developers will available from tommorow
Are you for real!
What?!?! *-*
Please tell me you aren't kidding!
Nice video
Yayayayayaya
YESYESSSSSS 3RD COLUMN OF TILES IS OFFICIAL
Cortannnnnña
CORTANA!!!
Its blowing my mind
RUDY!!!
Hmm seeing that green phone in Joes hand is starting to change my mind. I don't care for as much as I do blue and red but that phone looks great in his hands.
EDIT: New Lock Screen. Mind blown!
Please keep in mind that with the like the action center, it's just like live tiles... if something doesn't "work", look toward the developers. That gets ignored far too often.
For those of use on mobile devices is there anywhere to get highlights updates? I can't sit here and view the live blog, but I also dont want to go through the whole thing just to check the best things.

http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/monster-windows-phone-handset-spotted-with-2k-display-and-impressive-power-1239149
THEM SPECS! WOAH.
The third best day of my life lol
Awesome, bene waiting for WP8.1 a Long time
This should be good.
Looking forward to several hundred angry comments, mad that MS didn't include a "feature" that was never supposed to be included to begin with.
"OMG, no widgets?!? MS = failz! Going back to BBz10!!"
;-)
^ this
Lol, and all the reviews tomorrow, "this is the end of windows phone"
What time would be it for GMT+2 ? Like 6:30 PM?
It is 5:30 pm for GMT+2.
Cool! I thought I read the WP 8.1 stuff wasn't till tomorrow?
Just wait by staring at the timer and listening to this: http://www.yourepeat.com/watch?v=wtqUGLbPgYM
:D
All set!
I am so tired from work but I am staying late for this! 54 mins bring it ON!!!
In the program guide, I can't find any mention of Windows Phone, or the 8.1 update.
Program guide is here: http://channel9.msdn.com/?wt.mc_id=build_hp
I hope the guide is just not complete.
Also I hope they won't wait till the 3rd day to reveal the update -_- , I can't wait that long...
If everything is mentioned then no one will be excited too much. I think keynote will be the main highlight of the event.
Perhaps its in the keynotes.
Haha not announcing wp8.1 is the most evil thing MS can do right now xD
And wishing "Belated April fool day"
NOKIA LUMIA 930 LEAKED!!! https://twitter.com/evleaks/status/451356500888272896/photo/1
Wow! I need the Orange one!
T minus 1 hour..... :)
Woke up early on my day off, just so I can see all the great news!
I need to take a dump! :P
Curiously waiting for WP8.1....!
Haha ,,, yup yup
Has anyone heard if there is a fix for the other storage issue?
Has Joe arrived? :P
I'm holding my fingers together for lots of hardware announcements, not just pertaining to WP8.1 :D
3 hours!!!! Bloody hell, hope you took a packed lunch. Can't they condense it a bit......"H, I'm Satya, here's Windows Phone 8.1, it friggin rocks, have fun, bye!"
That would get the fun out ,, :)
LOL..
9.30 pm in Bangladesh!! :D :D
Will get some tissues on the way home for the drool lol
Man...I've never been this upbeat for a conference in my entire life. Gonna grab eateries to munch on while watching the live stream. Its already feeling like festival today. MS better live up to the hype.
I know exactly how you feel. Wish I watching it with a group of ppl and having a BBQ.
Almost as exciting as watching MMA events
Can we stream through our Windows Phone 8 .
I second this!
Não aguento mais esperar
Will this video be uploaded on u tube? I cant watch the video now. Bad luck. Stuck in some work.
Today is my day.. No hatters, neigh sayers, trolls, and overly biased fanbois can ruin it for me❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕
Only a bad internet connection :p ahha
My Hitta My Hitta...
How's the weather?
Daniel, stop saying 4:30 PM GMT, it at 3:30 PM GMT and 4:30 PM BST (British Summer Time), which is what we are at now here in Britain, +1 h of GMT.
Confusing, ain't it?
.. guess that's why it qualified as fourth dimension ...
9:00pm in India :)
Thanks
Sitting here like a little boy waiting for Santa on xmas.
XD
Due to a last minute change I have go to work... Must stay spoiler free until the keynote will be released to re-watch.... Why, god, why? :(
And I am actually travelling home from work right now! (Norway).
It's going to be legen....wait for it....DARY!
Skip work.. Your boss will understand
His boss probably has an iPhone...
So he won't understand unless it was iPhone related
GeekdUp
My BODY Is ready !!!
red?
:/
lol *fixed*
Mine is blue, but in a good way! :D
Ready for a WP 8.1 double penetration??? XD
Damn....I'm driving a bus.....gonna have to checkin every terminus.
Better late than never. Keep your eyes on the road.. 8-)
I'm driving a truck today... Might have to "feel fatigued" in a couple of hours and pull a rest break I think!! Lol
Sanctuary for all, community for all. Those who arrive survive ... Never Again. Never Trust. We First, Always.
I can't sleep, so nervous/excited etc.... :/
Good morning Daniel, you might want to read that first paragraph again. I think you meant to say about.
I read it again, and now I know what you meant. lol
If IST means (Indian Standard Time) then you got it wrong. The difference between GMT and IST is 5 hours and 30 mins.
no its correct
now its around 19:50 in india and 1 hour 10 minutes left for keynote to start
I am merely pointing out that the difference between GMT and IST is 5 hours and 30 mins. I think the GMT time mentioned in the article is wrong.
Yeah it is. Might be the author left out DST while converting from his local time to GMT...
IST is indian standard time
it will start @ 9 pm 46 min 34 sec to go.
Yes that is correct and the article should say BST (British Summer Time) instead of GMT
11:30PM here in South East Asia...
Today feels like Christmas for me
It's almost here!
Good to see IST listed as well. Thank you WPC.
930:
https://twitter.com/evleaks/status/451356500888272896
I guess they meant it when they said they are moving towards all US carriers getting the same flagship devices :)
Woah!
awesome
Is that the icon?
Yes and no, I think. Looks like the 930 is the exact same design, other than the extra colors. Probably the specs are the same too.
awww man ima be real mad if a green icon ever surfaces and i cant get it lol.
Mayneeee!!! That's an awesome Orange!!!!
Almost an hour and forty five minutes remaining.!.!.!.
14 minutes
Where can I stream live video??
http://channel9.msdn.com/?wt.mc_id=build_hp
I'm really excited about this. After waiting all this time the hour has finally arrived where in we would official get an insight of WP8.1 :)
Yay!!!
Both my body and my Lumia 920 is ready!
Well, i am waiting with bated breath.
100 internets to you for the correct use of bated breath. :)
Haha, as opposed to 'baited' breath? Have seen that a lot and cringed every single time. :P
Anyone know anything about why the store isn't working? No downloading? Maybe store update?
It's working for me here in India
