Meet Windows Phone 8 [blogs.windows.com] Today I'm pleased to announce the launch of Windows Phone 8, the world's most personal smartphone operating system and perfect companion to your new Windows 8 PC. The first new phones are expected to start going on sale at operators and retailers in Europe this weekend, and continue to roll out around the world throughout the month of November.
