Cracked the screen on my Lumia 800 on a night out. Gorilla Glass, my arse.
Anyway, I can either re-buy an 800 for £100 or get a 620 for £130. Is WP8 worth the extra £30 even though the 620 seems to be a lower-spec phone than the 800? What say you, GAF?

620 has better specs.

Oh, really? I just heard it was 'entry-level', less internal storage, lower res camera and no AMOLED etc. and just assumed it was a lesser-specced handset. And, y'know, numbers - 800 > 620.
Guess that settles it, then! Cheers

I can't wait for Samsung to show Nokia and Microsoft how to market gloves-on touch, wireless charging, and SmartShoot
Can't wait for people to complain about it having too many features.
I can't wait for Apple to invent all those things in 6 months

has calmed down a bit.
I personally find the built in pedometer-fitbit stuff to be VERY appealing. Is the Qi wireless charging for all models? I think Engadget says it depends on the carrier, like HTC's 8X wireless charging.
Also, I'm glad Nokia is pushing tech forward, in hardware and software. I can't wait until they show off what they have ready for this year's flagship.
One of the biggest reasons why I stayed with WP and bought the 920 was because of the unique features Nokia introduced, especially OIS, the super sensitive touch screen, and wireless charging.
I wonder what Nokia will introduce for their next flagship. If they continue to do this I'm gonna stay with Nokia for my next upgrade.
Heads up folks, incoming update for your Lumia devices to improve performance and shit:

Is the 620 good for taking photos like the 820?
Will the release be carrier dependant I take it? Just checked my Lumia 920 on EE, nothing new right now.
The big issue for me right now is during a call the screen remains totally black - apparently this is down to some dust on the front-camera affecting it. I hope this helps alleviate the issue.
This software, version 1232.5957.1308.00xx, includes further performance and stability improvements, enhancements to display stability during a call, and improved automatic display brightness adjustment.
it's not quite as good but its good enough imo.

It really sucks that Apple is the only one that can wrestle update control out of the carriers hands.

My phone is carrierless, which is even more bewildering.

Did this program ever come to fruition? I figured it had but with my recent switch to WP8 I haven't seen any mention of it.

May aswell carry a cinder block in your pocket.
I never got a case for my also red Lumia 920 and I don't regret a thing.

has calmed down a bit.
The Lumia 920 is very vulnerable if it falls glass first, just like every other phone. Trust me.
I dropped one from about waist height face down onto tiles, I was ever so scared to pick it up again but somehow not a mark on it.

has calmed down a bit.
It's all luck. I'd dropped mine before and had just a few dings. Then my son dropped it and the glass shattered. It didn't look that bad, must've been a bad angle or something.
I remember dropping my Nexus One onto tiles and cracked the OLED part of the screen, glass on the outside was fine however which was annoying.
What have been the major differences you have noticed?

Does anyone else have the Cyan shell for the 620? Does it look kind of translucent? Especially at the edges around the phone. Kind of weird.
I expected it to be a flat cyan colour plastic like the black shell. Instead it's some weird translucent cyan over white plastic.

I didn't see one in person but it fits the dual color of the 620.
Wait really? Did you test with the multitouch app? That was the one thing stopping me from picking it up, apart from the fact that my carrier hasn't officially launched it (it's on their computers but not "official").
I did yeah and it works 100% now the multitouch.

I wish people would get over games that are only on Windows 8.
Any people w/ an 822 have this problem?

I think that's the problem with matt finish, so far I have not notice any stain on my Red Lumia (which is glossy). I have the yellow and cyan case for it).
Phone stuff is not my forté at all, what do you mean by "forcing" the new firmware on it?
The 620's coming out here in a month or two, I want to be prepared.
EDIT: Thanks, will see if it has the multi-touch issue when I get it and do the update right away if necessary.
I had that as well. Blew it out a month ago and it has been pretty good since.

Did you guys miss this piece of news?

It's just flashing it manually, not ideal for users who've been using their phone for a while as it restores it to factory settings. I used this tool http://www.gsmeg.com/nokia-firmware/nokia-software-updater-for-retail-2-0-6.html
I would hope by the time the 620 launches in your region it should be pre-installed.
Saw that. Just have to take it to Rogers to send for repair I guess. Pia
I probably won't bother doing that unless it really drives me crazy. At the moment it's fine.
