I have to say, my 920's front camera is doing a sterling job at keeping my pockets free of dust and lint.
Elop pls.

A surprisingly subdued and effective advert from Microsoft.

Edit: Posting in right WP thread this time...
My Lumia 820 on Vodafone absolutely fails to do anything internet related on a GPRS signal, my old phones whilst slow would get something but it just fails completely to pull or push any data. Anyone else have this?
It can be full G signal and nothing happens yet as soon as it pings on to E, even if its 1 bar away it goes.

I've had my 920 since August last year. I went through alot of love/hate with it but lately I'm alot more on the love side. I really appreciate having all my most important apps on one screen ... and the visual integration of my most important loved one's social media profiles status updates is one of my favourite features of windows phone 8.
Software aside, the 920 is a solid piece of technology, I'm glad I took a chance leaving Apple behind last year. There are still some things I miss about IOS (Apps mostly), but so far I don't think I have any major regrets.

hrm, I wish I could help--but am not sure what exactly could be happening.

Pros: He reaches the conclusion that the 1020 is the better camera phone
Cons: He still port-begs at the end for an android version of the 1020

i don't know why that made me mad but it did...
The 520 doesn't have an FFC, so Skype could be a problem. Everything else would be fine. The 620 could also be an option, but I don't think you can get it anywhere near as cheap as the 520.
If you look around a bit, the price difference isn't too big. You can get the 620 as a Amazon.de Warehouse deal for 150, while the 520 is 140 under the same conditions. Might be worth to take a look around. The full Here Drive makes it worth it alone.
Yes and it's dirt cheap.

My mom has a Lumia 720 that's about 2 weeks old and pretty frequently it says "No Service" and you need to restart the phone to get the cell signal back. Should I be concerned? The same SIM never had issues on her older phone, though we did cut it to fit the micro-SIM slot.
Also she says she has some trouble hearing her friends when they call. I wonder if it's because of the noise cancellation

Very likely an issue. The first batch of HTC 8Xs apparently had a problem with slightly miscut sims that caused similar issues. My mum had a problem, replaced the sim, and the phone worked fine afterwards.

I currently have a crappy Tracfone and want to get a good smartphone for my wife and I. I'm a bit intrigued by the Lumia line. I plan to go with AIO wireless (prepaid) so I need to have an unlocked phone. AIO sells the 620 for $99 but I'm concerned that the screen size might be too small (it's 3.8"). The 1020 model looks interesting because of the larger screen size and the better camera but it's $800 unlocked.
I wonder if I should go with the cheaper option for now and just upgrade next year when the 1020 is replaced? Any advice for me?

Get the 620, get a used 1020 or whatever later.
You could use a 920 too, since its AT&T now anyway lol.

Lumia 1020 commercial... lol @ ending http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_SilD7ailg

I love that ad and the fact that a lot of their promotional videos for the 1020 are shot with the device itself.

Been using the 925 for a couple weeks now, and I'm really loving the phone!!
It was an upgrade from the 8X; I got it after paying off the 8X with T-Mo, went into the store to ask clarifying questions regarding Jump! and almost pulled the trigger then on the 925 @ $99, but my gut told me to wait.
Glad I hesitated!! That night on T-Mo's website I got the 925 for $49!!

Dropped my Lumia 928 in the toilet last night
Immediately turned it off and dried it off the best I could with a towel
Didn't have any rice tho
Just turned it on this morning, seems to be working fine...
gg phone, I knew it was built like a brick so I assumed it was pretty durable but I really had no idea. This seems to vouch for that, hopefully no problems show up down the road.

I'm trying to decide if I want to stay up for it: lol. What will it be 1AMET??
3am ET according to The Verge.

I'll digest all the news while drinking coffee in the morning when I get to work. Should be fun. Then the Apple event in the afternoon, I'm 99% sure that the next mini will be mine.

I've been very pleased going to a bigger phone when I replaced my iPhone 4 with my 920. Maybe it would be even better if I got an even bigger phone? But the 6-column live tile layout on the 1520 just looks horrible to me and is a deal breaker.
If you tried turning it on right after it got wet, chances are you fried the thing.

Then it wasn't a little wet. It was soaked.
Time for me to finally upgrade from this Samsung SGH-C225. Looking for an entry level phone and from what i'm hearing the lumia line is the best choice in this category. Since i'm using t-mobile service im thinking about buying the 521, but may spring for an unlocked 620 which is just $50 more.
Question I have you guys is there any difference between the two besides the ffc on 620? I mean in terms of support from nokia

620 has a compass and the screen looks better. Compare them if you can, no worries, both are great.
I thought I saw a leak about it having pen support as well.
Really excited to see what is different with this device than the 520/521. I'd finally retire my Zune for this.
Now if only my cars read Windows Phones I'd retire my iPod's and get rid of that god forsaken iTunes.
I doubt it.
I don't think we'll see much of an impact on stuff that far into development. Or probably any stuff that is due in the first half of next year.

Anyone here using the Dell Venue Pro 8? I am leaning on getting that instead of iPad Mini and it will replace my Nexus 7. I don't need app when I can access full website.
I remember reading one of the reasons for the delay in announcement of the 2520 was because Microsoft was pushing against its release. If true and they wanted to cancel a product before they even owned the company I could definitely see them not bothering once they do own them.
It doesn't really make sense to release and market two near identical devices.
