Almost missed this… HTC has launched its duo of Windows Phone 8 devices before Nokia did that with its Lumia 920T. The HTC 8S and 8X are offered by China Unicom, the country’s second largest mobile carrier, costing 1,999 yuan (about $320) and 3,999 yuan ($640), respectively.
The 8X’s price is especially steep but when it comes to Windows Phone 8, users still don’t have enough options to choose from. The better model (8X) has a bigger 4.3-inch 720p screen, 16GB of built-in memory and 1GB of RAM; while the 8S comes with a 4-inch WVGA display, 4GB of storage and just 512MB of RAM. Both phones get their power from Qualcomm’s 1.5GHz dual-core processor.
Aside from Nokia and HTC, Huawei and Samsung are also expected to launch their Windows Phone 8 devices in China, but as I’m writing this – it’s not clear when that will happen.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
