8107update
A couple of weeks ago I wrote an article here about why I consider WP and the US a bad match. Today AT&T helped to drive that point home to its many subscribers who are WP owners. In an unfortunate tweet today one of AT&T’s community managers informed us that AT&T will NOT release the 8107 Update that fixes the mysteriously disappearing keyboard and adds some additional security features. Instead they are opting to pass on yet another update, as Update 7740 came and went with barely a whisper since most WP owners were more concerned with the keyboard issue. Would you believe AT&T is Windows Phone’s biggest supporter in the US? Just sad…

Titan
It seems that the UK and the Windows Phone HTC Titan will no longer be friends. Today it has been noticed that the mammoth 4.7″ display Windows Phone HTC Titan is no longer being sold in the UK as it has vanished from carrier websites. Both of the large online retailers Phones4U and Carphone Warehouse have removed the Titan from their sites. In addition, carriers Vodafone, O2, Orange and T-Mo’s sites do not list the Titan either. This is very unfortunate as the HTC Titan has a great user rating at AT&T in the US with a 5/5 star rating. I myself own and LOVE the Titan!

Lumia 719
Around 3 weeks back, just prior to the 2012 Mobile World Congress, we reported about the Nokia Lumia 719 and it passing its Bluetooth SIG. While we all hoped that this would be one of the announced models at the 2012 MWC, that was not to be the case. However, the Nokia Lumia 719 is back in the limelight. The official Chinese government radio management agency has listed this mysterious Windows Phone Nokia Lumia 900 as passing its certification and will be joining the HTC Titan as the first Windows Phones to be marketed in the enormous Chinese wireless market. It is not known which build the 719 will be running, however, I would have to believe it’s Tango.

Nokia-USA
It doesn’t matter what country or region you’re from. Whether you own or follow Windows Phone you know Microsoft has an uphill battle to gain a legitimate mobile market share. While AT&T and WP seem to be a good fit here in the US, the US is going to be Microsoft’s toughest customer to win over and it’s not entirely Microsoft’s fault. While many countries are positively responding to an influx of new WP devices with WP slowly gaining in global market share, there is a good chance US will be the last country to reflect any WP growth and the last 3 months prove it.

MWC 2012
With today wrapping up the 2012 Mobile World Congress, there are no more surprises left to uncover. A month’s worth of rumors, stabs in the dark, and wishful thinking can be laid to rest and we can begin discussing what it is we learned at the MWC regarding WP and 2012. There was some good news, ”could have done without” news, 2 new devices, and even an announcement of a long awaited app that made its way to the WP Marketplace during the trade show. If you were hoping for multiple devices to be unveiled, well you’re going to have to wait a little longer. Read on to get all the WP news from the 2012 MWC…

apollo
Today HTC went on record letting down many hopeful people. Despite showing off their new One series, HTC announced they will hold off on producing any new WP models until Apollo is released. They did confirm there will be an HTC Titan II outside of the US for countries that have an LTE network, which is great news to see both the Nokia 900 and Titan II going international. Although no specifics were given, HTC did mention Australia will be one of the lucky countries to be getting the massive device.

MWC
The 2012 Mobile World Congress is almost here, another trade-show at hand and oh do I love them. The MWC is the world’s largest exhibition for the mobile industry and starts this coming Monday. It’s amazing during these times how rumors can grow wings and fly almost on their own with so many eager consumers clutching to any news leaked and waiting so impatiently to get their hands on the latest unreleased gadgets. I would be lying if I said I was any different. I thought it would be fun to take a look back over the past month and consolidate the rumored and the verified WP devices into one article. When the MWC is over we can all look back over this and see how close or far off we all were. Read on to look at the different WP devices we hope to see.
