any time line? my current phone sucks balls but i have my mind set on the nokia
Summer maybe? Really hard to say, all just speculation at the moment. I just read today that the 620 is going to be coming to Telus. Nice little phone.

sounds promising.
no thanks to the 620, i want a high end phone
That's what I'm thinking. Hopefully Telus gets it.

I like my Lumia 920 a lot, but I found this article pretty true (and surprising that some of this still isn't in the OS): http://www.wpcentral.com/8-things-microsoft-needs-fix-windows-phone-8
Overall, the OS is smooth, and everyone who uses my phone is impressed by it, but there are a lot of improvements that need to be made.

So happy for you. I like the red.
My buddy just got a red one from Rogers. Sooo nice.
Don't give a crap about instagram and don't see a future in multiscreen gaming (except maybe the WiiU), but until 1, 4, 6, and 7 are fixed it is really hard to recommend WP8 to the general public. It does a lot right, but those omissions (most of which webOS had in 2009) are just embarrassing.
This list is missing quick wifi/bt/airplane mode/brightness switches, which need to be somewhere like the notification center.
No problem. The seller posts on WP Central and said it should take around 10 business days to arrive.
Is that the guy who posted all the pics of boxes full of these? lol
*edit, yep. haha.

If you do want a really good instagram alternative there is this app called Lomogram.

really nice, bunch of filters.

yep
I had the 920, but being OCD as shit about scratches, I switched to the 820 because of its interchangeable shells. It feels soooooo much better in my hand. I really really like it. At first their was no competition between it and the 920, but now I actually prefer it. Feels like the perfect size.
I doubt they're able to fit the whole 41mp sensor just yet but yeah, there's been rumors that the next flagship will have a "true Pureview camera" whatever that means.

Mobile technology refreshes at a pretty damn fast rate. No matter what you're never going to have the absolute best phone for a very long time, so it doesn't make sense to get bothered over something like that. All I really care about is that my 920 performs a hell of a lot better than my old iPhone.

I agree that it makes no sense being upset cause a company releases a better phone than the one you bought, but it also depends on the timing. In the case of the 920, it had and continues to have supply shortages and I feel Nokia should stick with it as a flagship until at least the Fall, given how well it has been received. They should focus on expanding availability, carriers, and markets for the 920 then announce the successor in the late summer and release it early Fall. Follow the Apple and Samsung models for flagship phones, while also emulating Samsung in releasing different form factor skus and low cost alternatives throughout the year.

Technology is evolving. I'm sure Nokia would have put that sensor in the 920 if it was possible. Added to that, you don't know what form factor the upgraded Lumias with 41MP will be in. Also, by summer early adopter would have owned the handset for at least half a year.
What the shit when I go to download this it says it is not available in my region! UK on 920

The Smartphone market is in the same position PC's were in 10 years ago, constantly evolving with more advanced and new tech becoming cheaper by the day. Until we hit the Smartphone's version of 2009 this will keep on happening. Give it a few years.
I just got my 920 back. They've replaced the motherboard, as the first one was supposed to cause all those problems which I had.
I didn't expect it, but they have also replaced backlight of software buttons (they thought that those were too yellowish) and they did something with my vibration, as it doesn't rattle as it used too.
I just pray, that this time, I won't have those fucking freezes. Let the testing begin. Wish me luck.

It was probably my fault but my screen is already scratched. I never put anything else in the pocket that my phone is in and I've yet to drop this thing. I baby it more than the iPhone I had.
I have no idea where these scratches came from; they're shallow enough that I don't feel them with my fingers if I run them across the scratches but I can feel them with my fingernails.
Was the iPhone's glass thicker or something? Also, could I file an insurance claim for this? I wouldn't mind dropping cash for the deductible; I'm anal about this stuff.

Yep, 7 months by May if you bought the phone at launch. Although like I said, it simply hasn't had enough time to shine with limited supply, carriers, and markets. It could be the flagship well into Fall, I doubt Samsung and HTC will release anything that makes this phone obsolete before then, but we'll see. Octo core processors and 1080p screens aren't going to make the 920 seem old, they'll need to have other innovations.
I have a few like this at the very top of the phone so fortunately they do not creep onto the screen. I assume it is from just grit in my pockets and then it gets scratched when taking it out of my pocket. Put a folding case on my phone now and have not had a new scratch since.

Nope, its just (bad) luck. A sand particle or some other foreign object scratched your glass through sheer chance, while it just didn't happen with your iPhone. Go into the iPhone 5 thread, or the 4/4s threads (or any phone thread really) and you'll see plenty of people with the same problem, having no clue how their phone got scratched. Its random and I'm like you, I hate it and I can't deal with a scratch once I see it. Its worth a shot to call up the insurance and see what they say.
Its just random, my 920 fell hard on the floor twice with nary a bump until my son dropped it less than 3 feet and the screen shattered. The angle and the cosmic forces of the universe were simply aligned wrong that third time.

I was reading that they got pulled for some reason. Hopefully they will come back.
Just listened to the newest Android Central podcast. They talked about WP a little bit and one of the guys called it a "horrible OS". I guess they are having problems with getting emails really late? Then they really start complaining about the most ridiculous shit, seriously if you want to hear it skip to the 20 min mark. It's full of fuck.
Just reading your post about it annoys me enough.

OMG at Jerry, lol.
Edit: it actually wasn't bad at all. Dude whined about not getting push email I guess, and someone went "lol, explorer" without giving reasons why it sucks, but overall the one guy likes using the 8x, liked Facebook and Twitter on it and the only real complaint was that email thing.
I think hating the platform is getting more difficult. It may not be your preferred phone OS, but certainly folks are seeing that its fully capable and even superior in some respects to other platforms.

Yes! Jerry! That's his name! I hate him.

Thanks for the replies guys. I thought that's what it might be. Any suggestions on a folding case?
Sucks to hear about your phone. : That reminds me about the time a girl I used to date's one year old pulled my MacBook Pro off of the couch and it fell on an empty bowl that was next to the couch.
Except the MBP sliced the bowl in half.
I couldn't resist, :lol
I think Jerry ate a few too many Note's. I don't use GMail, but does it actually take long to get your mail?

Remember to let it fully discharge once or twice (meaning you can't power it back on) over the next few days.

The email thing is true, unfortunately. It's my one complaint with the OS.
I get my emails instantly. Are you using gmail?

Red is for peasants.
I guess 822 users like me get the shaft, no free games for us
I still like my white 822. Couldn't wait any longer to upgrade from my dumb phone. Hopefully an awesome Lumia 952 Lazer will be waiting at Verizon for us in 21 months.
They gonna get pressured by HTC in this area.
