Microsoft invite hints Windows Phone 8 launch on October 29

Microsoft has sent out a bunch of invites for an event scheduled to be held in San Francisco on October 29. It is being speculated that Microsoft will officially unveil Windows Phone 8 OS at the event, less than a week after the company officially releases the much-awaited Windows 8 at an event in New York on October 26.
 
The most high profile Windows Phone 8 devices are from Nokia, which recently unveiled Lumia 920 and 820 smartphones. Nokia is aiming to compete with the likes of Apple and Samsung with its Windows Phone 8-based smartphones. However, the company has already drawn flak for pricing its Lumia 920 higher than Samsung's flagship smartphone, S III.
 
Apart from Nokia, HTC will also be launching Windows Phone 8-based smartphones later this year. Last month, HTC announced its Windows Phone 8x and Windows Phone 8S smartphones. At the IFA 2012 event, Samsung also announced its Windows Phone 8 handset, the Ativ S.
