Yesterday Microsoft announced that Windows 8 will be arriving on October 26th, but what about Windows Phone 8? Well, according to ZDNet’s sources, Windows Phone 8 handsets will be released in November later this year. The Windows 8 RTM is said to reach manufacturers in September, so by then we should start seeing more leaks of some upcoming Windows 8 devices (hooray!). We’re not sure why Microsoft isn’t releasing Windows Phone 8 at the same time as Windows 8 but chances are – there’s still a lot of work to be done. Also, Microsoft could be planning a separate release so that each operating system would get more focus instead of both of them sharing the limelight. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see whether these rumors pan out.
