Although at nigh events where Windows Telephone 8 is being 'lite' demonstrated, the handlers of the devices are notorious for not letting the media go beyond the Start screen. That'southward presumably because Microsoft doesn't desire the unabridged OS shown before their large proclamation—whenever that may be.

In a new HTC 8X hands on video, taken at the GITEX Computer Shopper show currently beingness held in Dubai, UAE, we can run across the device and OS in its unfettered celebrity. No one is stopping anyone here...
