Nokia Lumia |OT| Worth the Weight
- Thread starter EightBitNate
- Start date
Ah! Thanks guys.
I know with my 920 that if it's completely drained it takes a while before it actually starts.
But I have had 2 Lumia 800's now that have failed to start up.
It vibrates but there's not even a screen with an empty battery. I have tried warming the phone as well to get it going and doing the power-volume down but nothing works.
Oh, I misinterpreted your post completely. Yeah that sounds weird as hell. Something must be wrong with it.

It's been over 5 weeks now since I ordered my Lumia and AT&T can't even give me status updates on when/if it will be available. Beginning to think about just cancelling the whole thing (if that's even possible). I don't think Nokia is doing this on purpose, Nokia is doing very poorly in managing supply.
As we get closer to CES in January I'm going to want to see what's announced and whether I should hold out for something better, so if they don't send me this phone soon I'm probably going to walk and maybe leave AT&T altogether. Ideally I'd like to switch to T-Mobile as I can get a similar service with a value plan for almost half of what I'm currently paying AT&T.
Nokia was obviously never serious about delivering an adequate supply of yellow/cyan Lumia's to AT&T since they never had plans to sell them in stores. I can't say how Nokia is doing worldwide, but in the US I feel as though Nokia is still failing very badly. Nokia needs to have their flagship phone on all 4 major carriers to compete with Apple/Samsung/HTC, but Nokia can't even handle supplying 1 carrier right now.

has calmed down a bit.
Its unbelievable. Its like the cyan and yellow simply aren't being produced anymore. Makes me feel even worse for having one and not adequately protecting it. I may never own a cyan 920 again and I can only blame myself.

I think cyan is available online through the Microsoft store.
Groan... It's unlike you.

Do you guys get alot of questions or "looks" when using your phone? Looks like "WTF is that?!"
It amazes me that so many people still have no clue what a Windows phone is, or that a Windows phone OS even exists.

Of course.
you can't, you can pin tiles that will show it but they can ironically be a battery drain iirc.
You don't

They are all being ship to China, the only market that matter for Nokia.
I think the notion that they created artificial demand is horseshit, I think it is a combination of low expectation by the carriers and that Nokia just don't have the capacity anymore to ramp up production. They are not what they used to be and probably just don't have ability to meet demand with so many line of products and color variants.

So... how is the 920 doing? Any bugs still to iron out? Has it had any updates since release?

People just think we are using one of the gazillion Androids phone. Except one guy who was in line next to me at Epcot and sports cool White Lumia. We just give one another that approving nods.
I am actually surprise to see several Windows Phones, majority of them are that LG one with physical keyboard or the Focus Flash. (And I am in Orlando, Florida and not Seattle just in case someone want to tell me this is because I am in MS country).
Random freezes/reboots. Still waiting for update.

Thanks. Maybe they'll have it purring like a kitten by the time I upgrade (March next year).
Though probably not.
you could end up lucky like me and have none of those issues!
If I were you I'd just get the screen repaired. I don't see why it wouldn't be as good as new. It's not like they could just fit in a worse non-Nokia screen or anything. And the $180-ish price you mentioned earlier seems okay for a screen and installation. If everything else is intact the phone deserves a new screen

I have it on my 800 so I'm guessing it's not 920 exclusive.
holy crap
Nokia exclusive.

They just release it for 7.5 last week I think.

Coming in at a very good price, undercuts the HTC 8S by quite a margin SIM free.

Nice. Plus it has FFC and more memory compared to the 8S. Hopefully it will come to other carriers.

They traded design for features. The 620 is such a bland handset, especially compared to the 8S.

Yep. In any case, it's nice to have a few apps to make other phone owners jealous
Even my dad was amazed, and he usually just shrugs and walks away.
You rocking a 920 Frank?

so the perfect phone for the masses. I always cringe when seeing some teenage girl with a random HTC wildfire with htc sense on it or something. why?
cheap.
just looked at an 8S, such a nice looking phone.
How are you getting the photos off of the phone?

I believe he means 8.7 MP in x:y instead of 7.1 MP in 16:9 and 8.0 MP in 4:3. 4:3 and 16:9 are common and the 8.7 MP sensor is a good way to support both resolutions. That way you can choose the format best suited for a particular image instead of having just one format and cutting parts off of the image to get the other format.
