If you've always wanted to see how Windows Phone works, or if you have a WP8 and want to see some of the new features from the upcoming 8.1 update, then try out the cool new Nokia emulator:

http://try.nokia.com

(should work from smartphone or browser, contains video content though so be careful if you're on 3G/4G!)

Also, as I know this will be asked, .... second week of august is the date i'm being given for OTA rollout to current in-market devices.

So is that rollout just for Lumia/Nokia phones? or is that the target date for all phones?

Cool, but surely whoever designed it would have a routing to replace all those underscores with spaces?

8:28am on the phone and the battery is just about flat. Who'd buy a WP device?

What browser are you using where it shows you the underscores? Do you have script etc blocked? They should be getting replaced by script/css/whatever. Works OK for me in IE11, Chrome, Firefox and WP8.1...
