While you are all eagerly awaiting my Nokia Lumia 920 review (it is coming – still testing and writing), I want to make all the Norwegian readers aware of the fact that NetCom has a great offer on the HTC Windows Phone 8X at the moment. If you go for the Komplett Medium subscription, which for a monthly fee of 499 ($ 84) includes 400 minutes, 400 SMS and 400MB of data usage, you will now get the phone for 1 kr (17 cents). The minimum total cost for the first year will then be 5989,- NOK ($ 1000). Head on over to NetComs‘ web-store for more info.

Today, Windows Phone 8 was launched onto the world by Microsoft at an event in San Fransisco. If you want to get a first look at this new and updated mobile OS, take a look at these two videos, courtesy of Microsoft. The first one is a presentation of Windows Phone 8 made by Joe Belfiore, head of the Windows Phone Program within Microsoft.

The second video is from the launch event itself. Enjoy!

What now remains, is of course for the carriers to announce their actual launch dates in different markets. As far as is known, a lot of European countries will see new Windows Phone 8 devices next week, but I do not know yet when the phones will be available in Norway. I bet Nokia, HTC and Samsung knows, and think it is about time for them to stop being coy, and actually provide us, their loyal customers, with some real information!
