On asked if there is a certain time frame for the release of Viber for Windows Phone 8, and if this release will support Nokia devices only, or the rest of the WP8 devices as well, Marco replied: “Viber for Windows Phone 8 is in final development stages. We should have it real soon.”

While discussing Blackberry, it should be noted that we are still on track to deliver voice for the current BB devices.”
