Better late than never? Yes, we're back for another exciting Windows Phone Central podcast. And it's extra long, because we can't stop talking about everything that is happening with Microsoft and the Windows Phone ecosystem.

This week we have the guru of all things BlackBerry and all around hilarious guy, Kevin Michaluk from Crackberry.com joining the podcast to talk about his virgin experience...with Windows Phone 8. Plus we discuss Windows Phone Portico, the Lumia 620, this week's hottest apps and even field your questions. So join in and either stream to your phone or watch the HD video below!

    (Why is it almost impossible to activate this commentbox to get the keyboard to show on my new windows8-pad? Some bugs needs fixing in the commentarysection here, it works kind of bad in ie9 aswell, I have to reload the page after each comment to be able to edit/make another one etc.)
  • regarding skype, i found the same thing just a few days ago, i have windows 8 pro on my desktop (play game/developing things), the Surface, and the Lumia 800, and when skype goes off it used to ring on both the desktop and Surface, just a couple days ago, it started choosing just one to ring, much better
     
    but kind of curious if i can choose which one to ring...?
  • i have, a htc 8x and a surface rt, i like them very much... i am using bing more then google lately, i think that wp need, a few things to compete fully with iphone, first is fix facebook app fully not small updates to many complains on that, fix tweeter app, get instragram and get something like siri because people with iphones are always showing that gimmick even though i do not use it, it is a good selling point when consumers are buying the phone... and last get more people involved with xboxsmartglass
