Nokia Windows Phone 8 Handsets Showing Up On Verizon & T-Mobile
 

Moving away from the hubbub about Windows Phone 8 upgrades, we now also have increasing evidence of actual new Windows Phone 8 hardware being tested in the wild.
The latest is via DSLReport’s mobile speed test, which shows the user agent of two Windows Phone 8 handsets, one named Qualcomm Fluid and the other Nokia Fluid. Both of course have been spotted before, but now the full user agent confirms that these are Windows Phone 8 handsets running IE10.
The Verizon handset also seems pretty snappy, likely indicating LTE on board. The same can unfortunately not be said for the T-Mobile speed test.http://wmpoweruser.com/wp-content/up...160.png?e83a2c
Of note is that we are seeing windows phone 8 handsets on the same networks in our own server logs, with screen resolutions of 768×768 and 480×480. Also of note is most of our Windows Phone 8 traffic not coming from Microsoft is coming from AT&T. So far nothing from Sprint however.
The relevant pages can be seen in Google’s cache here and here (13th April), but may of course disappear soon.

Hardware will be a big question. I'd love to see a keyboard slider, but Alas, I think the days of my Touch Pro2 are near an end. SD Card support is a big plus, and some more customization.

Yea WP8 will support SD cards, hardware keyboards are dead in the water at least for high end phones. Low end Androids still have them.
