Go to the wpcentral website. Click on the live video link. It will ask you to install Silverlight or play in Windows media player. Do the latter & you are a cool cucumber!!

So cool - Jessica Alba in the promo vid for WP8 as 'The Working Mom'. Explains why she has the L920 before the rest of us!
-
No word of Instagram. I guess it is one of those 4 top50 apps still not available on WP. FUCK.

Whole lot of meh so far.
-
The meh part is the damb exclusive phones!
-
Ffs late fucking November???? Another fucking month what the fuck is the deal....

Giving away phones to the media sure is a way to get on their good side
