According to The Verge, delays and bugs during testing of Windows Phone 8 pushed back the release date of the operating system. Microsoft employees are now working overtime.

According to the previously approved schedule, Microsoft planned to announce Windows Phone 8 in early October, before the release of Windows 8. Now, according to rumors, the releases of the operations will take place simultaneously – on October 29. That is, the first WP8-based mobile devices from Samsung, Nokia and HTC will not be seen by the public until November.

Recall that the Samsung ATIV S smartphone was announced 2 weeks ago with a static screen.

Experts predict two ways of development: either Microsoft will conduct beta testing on users again, or by fixing numerous bugs and delaying the release of WP8, the company will lose its adherents on the eve of the New Year holidays.
