Big week as we discuss all the new hardware that was released for Windows Phone--we give our opinions and in depth discussion of what works and what doesn't. Plus we go over Monday's 'Big Phone' day, parties as well as new software releases. All while I fight my laryngitis (apologies for the voice though, seriously).
Fair warning: this is our longest show yet, clocking in in just under 2 hours. So feel free to take an intermission at some point. Regardless, we guarantee an exciting and entertaining discussion.
Show notes after the break!
