By Supersite hello Thurrott.com

I don't always agree with Paul, but I don't mind him.

After the buzz 930 video, really very positive after the Denim update.

"The simplicity of an iPhone, with a far better camera."

Nice.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

My wife wants to get the iPhone 6. Can't believe how expensive they are on contract in Canada. $265 for the 16gb version is dumb.

Great videos about denim but in the US you can no longer buy an Icon from Verizon or a 1520 from ATT.

AT&T still sells the 1520 on their website

How do you know if you have denim? I should be in the developer preview in the UK on my 930, but no sign of 'hey cortana'

Phone info says carrier is CV GBIE (should be sim free), OS is 8.10.14219.341, firmware is 02061.00066.14353.31004

Go to settings, then Extra+info

Says I'm on cyan, but I have had the live folders for awhile. Separation of firmware and OS confuses me.

I think I'm the country variant, as it reports CV-GBIE, and the operator is 000GB. But I would have expected the developer preview to be on denim?

Are you in the Dev preview?

 

[mrklaw]

Are you in the Dev preview?

Yes

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Yes

That would be why you have the folders I believe.

 

[mrklaw]

That would be why you have the folders I believe.

But surely the dev preview has denim too by now? Before they rolled it out to end users?

No

 

[KageMaru]

I could be mistaken but I believe denim includes update 1 much like how Cyan included the 8.1 update. If you're on the preview program, you'll receive the OS features of update 1 (live folders) but still need denim for other new features (Hey Cortana, Lumia camera 5.0) enabled from the firmware update.

 

[mrklaw]

Ok, weird. But the country variant doesn't have denim either so no point dropping out of the preview just yet.

 

[Zeknurn]

So it's starting to sound like the Windows 10 event will actually be worthwhile for PC gaming.

http://www.att.com/cellphones/nokia/lumia-1520.html#sku=sku6890459

I saw an att end of life memo for the 1520. Some sales channels no longer sell it.

Secret sauce?

Secret sauce?

Just Tom Warren teasing again.

@tomwarren
OK. I'm more convinced than ever that next week is gonna be interesting for PC gamers and Xbox Live. What to expect coming Monday.

Virtually zero

Lumia 532 is about as high as it goes.

:'(

 

[Zeknurn]

It took me a while to comprehend that part the tweet as well. He's publishing a "What to expect" article on Monday.

There's a cool camera app called Vocal Camera. Just say "shoot" or create your own trigger word and the cam will take a pic.

 

[f0lken]

I tried not to, but I'm getting really hyped about the 21st, I want win10 on my surface and 1020 right now!

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Yeah, I'm looking forward to putting it on my Surface as well.

 

[juliushandle]

I feel I'm the only one in the world who owns a Nokia 2520.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Feel like the gaming side is getting way too hyped for Tuesday.

Yeah I expect disappointments.

Yeah, I think the Windows 10 OS stuff and mobile will be good though.

How else people like Paul and Mary Joe can stay employed if MS know how to communicate.


I love how we are all exited by the last year phone. Not having 930 as off contract Signature phone at this point is all kind of screw up.

 

[joshschw]

I prefer the 8inch tablet form factor much more.

Edit: or larger, SP3 looks cool

 

[f0lken]

I know how the gaming side is, so I am pretty sure a lot of hyped people are just faking it so they can troll after MS fails to meet their expectations

 

[catmincer]

Tried a 830 today, quite nice but too expensive.

 

[clav]

Yeah, I think the Windows 10 OS stuff and mobile will be good though.

I think the announcement is just Cortana related.

Oh yay. Uniform experience.

3 days until the new flagship phone! Whatever they announce they're gonna release soon after. Worked great for the MS Band.

 

[Paganmoon]

Spotify updated, wonder if you can offline-synch local items from your computer now.

Much more responsive now at least. But getting to my own playlists requires quite a few extra jumps... not good.

Edit:
Ok, after 5 minutes, I hate this update.

Yeah, it's really bad. They start to push their own radio stuff and the ads are getting ridiculous.

Ah, and I just ordered a Lumia 930.

Nah, think I'm fine.

 

[VanMardigan]

Thurrott made a similar comment on an article, I don't think he means anything by it. Also, he received his Expansys 930 and the denim update isn't available for it, nor could he find a page with the update status for his version. I'll wait until he gets denim before I seriously consider buying a 930 to hold me over until late summer/fall when the next round of flagships come out.

Brot was too slow in making the OT Windows 10 event thread.

Just post it anyway and call it OT.

That other topic will die.

 

[Paganmoon]

Still no device sync with PC for Spotify... I don't know why I even hope anymore...
