Maybe its a new Sony Xperia phone with a non-shitty os!
I don't mind if it's a winRT show, the Apollo stuff is Wednesday.

I probably wouldn't care, because Sony's new-new Xperia phones like the GX or SX or whatever don't get me that excited. I really like that transparent stripe.

All I know is that I'll get the Xperia S, should Apollo disappoint.
Speaking of phone designs, I can't stress enough how much I fucking hate micro-USB ports on the side or top of a phone. Keep it on the bottom, so I can use a damn dock and put it on my desk.
That was E3.

Titan over the 710, if music is important to you the Focus over both.

I've always loved Sony's phone designs. I remember owning a Sony Ericsson flip phone. For a flip phone, it looked really good.
edit: This one:
I'm still holding out hope that they'll join the WP8 fold. I mean, if they're using Krait for their Android phones, and WP8 will largely be using that chip in the fall, then why not just throw the software onto one of those phones? It's likely the same thing Samsung and HTC will be doing, and I don't mind if a One X WP8 variant is released either.
Where did you hear that?

I'm afraid to ask, but what do you guys have against Android?

someone's guess. NBC will takeover MSNBC and MS will take NBC's share of Hulu in return.
Interesting, thanks.
Why would MS need an event to announce this?

I wouldn't say jealous. We're just the Google+ users of the mobile world.

I have that exact same phone. Too bad it was such a piece of craps which make me swore off any Sony phone.I've always loved Sony's phone designs. I remember owning a Sony Ericsson flip phone. For a flip phone, it looked really good.

Nokia is really getting plummeted, can Apollo save or will it be too late...
Maybe. For once, Nokia will have CDMA phones.
It'll be interesting if they can pull it off. It's a massive transition they've been in, trying to compensate for the bleeding lower end market they're loosing to Android and filling in with their Lumia line. It's more or less, draining faster than they can fill in right now. This next year will be telling for them as a company.

Could be actually, Nokia's other cheap tablet project(s) was/were killed yesterday.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I thought CDMA being a thing was going to go away as soon as LTE hit anyways, but it appears that hasn't happened.
Where did I get this wrong in my brain?!?!
yeah, i think i woulda bit on the 900 if the glass was curved like the 800 screen, and if the camera didn't review so poorly.

I used to hate my android phone (had a Droid X) since it would always crash or freeze, even with custom roms. However, now that I have been with a Windows Phone (HTC Trophy 7) for about 2 months now....I miss android xD
Rumors are flying now that it's indeed a tablet, though not a Nokia built one, built at Redmond apparently. Interesting move, not too jazzed myself, tablets are low on my priority list, but bout time they made a play. #stillwantacourier
Why did you buy a 1st generation device in mid-2012?

Yeah, I can't see myself buying an expensive tablet, and the cheap android tablets are shit. Nokia's Meltemi tablet could have been pretty cool, if it was cheap and ran as much smoother than Android as rumors say. Windows tablets are likely more expensive, but maybe they can be quite smooth as well...
You're a GSM user, so I understand your confusion over how CDMA works.
LTE requires SIM cards as that will be the license/key to use the data network. The traditional features still use CDMA signals to transmit voice/text.

not only that, but while Verizon is using SIM cards, Sprint is using embedded internal sims.
Too much effort. If not WP7 I'd go with iOS. Every time someone talks about doing something with a custom ROM I zone out.
brotkasten
Member
And not only that, but the LTE networks from AT&T and Verizon are not compatible, because they still use different frequencies.
Reminds me of Windows Mobile, so I don't feel like upgrading my phone.

Same here. I wanted iOS for the support (OS updates) and application consistency/performance, but the iPhone 4 was just a bit too expensive. Then I saw that my carrier was offering the Omnia 7 in a clearance sale for super cheap, so I did the research and decided that I'd give Windows Phone a shot. I haven't looked back since.
My friend picked up an Samsung Galaxy S+ recently and he's constantly telling me how awesome his phone is and how crap Windows Phone is as a whole, but I look over at him when he uses it and it's constantly lagging, glitching out, all of it. I don't think I could deal with that.

That's not a warning sign at all. Windows phone, full steam ahead!

Yeah, MS needs to buy them out already. Keep the brand separate, there is enough talent and heritage there for an apple-style comeback, albeit on a smaller scale.

you know when you run into a problem, and, at first your like, "hmm, i wonder what went wrong. itl be interesting to find out" but after like hours of wasted time and googling you end up with a crappy bandage "solution". you eventually go insane and burn your house down, hide the bodies and claim it was the neighbors dog.
thats basically android imo.
no they don't i am sure WP8 will fix everything..........
why I hate android? personally, I have a 20 month old gingerbread tablet. worked five when new, then you start filling it with apps and games and weird things happen. I started getting random restarts, annoying as hell. I fixed it by killing live wallpaper. now a new issue arises, constant apps updating and I'm always getting a low memory message. I transfer files over to the micro sd card, delete files, but the problem still exist. I've given up trying to fix it. damn apps are updating to work on more hardware configs and on newer OS builds, gingerbread is getting left behind. i'd say android devices are great for a yr, then they're garbage.
my nearly 2 yr old WP7 though is still buttery smooth.

This is similar to my experiences with WP7 and my BlackBerry Playbook which I bought during the clearance sales last Christmas.
While the OS itself is quick and responsive, when you open an app (even the built in email app) it often becomes terribly unresponsive. Even with a dual core processor and 1GB of memory, with only the email app open it has 30% or so of the memory available and apps will often force close when more than a few are open at a time.
Meanwhile, my Focus was still lightning quick after 1.5 years and my Lumia 900 is even better.
