Day one! No matter what the cost!
On a sidenote do you have to pair the band with a windows phone to get the keyboard?
I believe so.
Yesterday, I only used 40% of my battery in 24 hours with the clock mode on. Pretty great!

Today update make it faster, but last time I used it, mail load very slow. I also don't like the way folders are showing up. Cyanogen Mail are much better still a lot faster and folders are way easier to navigate except they overdo it a bit with swiping option.
Using the GPS in a run is the main battery drain. Great feature though.

I've used a Lumia 820 for 2+ years, am I wrong in gaining dissatisfaction with windows phones and the lack of features in main apps such as Facebook?
It feels like Microsoft has Lost interest in the platform

LOL. Discover is the worst part of snapchat. Everyone hates it. Amazing.
There's a good part of Snapchat?
Nudes.
Yes. Throwaway pics to groups of people are fun and effortless.

I think it's pretty funny that Rudy made an app for ads. As "revenge", too. Yeah, that will show them! What a hack that guy is.
And I love you guys.

This thread doesn't make me laugh very often, generally like the rest of us it makes me cry.
Thank you.

Well, the Volume Down Button, the Power Button and the Camera Button on my Lumia 920 stopped working this morning. Tried to reset the device using the region settings menu and it didn't solve it. Might try to drain the battery and try again later
It's a little annoying considering I've made it this far to the launch of a new flagship which should be coming later this year and I was hoping to make it last. At least I can still turn on the screen, and thus get into my phone because I have Double Tap enabled
:/

...Thank god, because I had capstone presentations today and needed the phone to show off networking in my game.

Yeah, that tweet was a strange. Who did he think he was getting one over on? I unfollowed him.
I don't know anyone who uses Snapchat, so I've never tried it.

Google Handwriting Input in 82 languages on your Android mobile device

So when is the Note 5 coming out? Before the WP10 flagship right?

I mean, that's cool; but highly impractical. Handwriting input is great for note taking applications where you get unlimited space to write, not much so for regular texting or web browsing where Swipe and tap typing rule the land.
It really is amazing how well they fucked up the flagships on Windows Phone. My phone is slowly killing itself and it would be nice to be able to upgrade to something with a little more life in it.ahh I see. So do all of us. I want a fucking flagship phone Microsoft.

Lets be honest. What this platform needs is more manufacturers. Microsoft can't cover every price range in every region with all kinds of variants (even if it seems like they're trying). If consumers want a Windows Phone, they have no choice but to buy a Lumia and that can't be great. I'm sure carriers don't like it either. There's little differentiation in the hardware line-up and even if you slim it down to 6 Lumia phones, there wouldn't be much that sets them apart. You want a phone that's not made of plastic? Nothing. Something waterproof or -resistant? Nope. Something between 5" and 6"? Go away.
If you get some rare Windows Phone announcement from a different manufacturer, it's usually some non-commitment throw-away stuff made by interns or something. Even the HTC One M8 with Windows was basically a proof of concept. "Look, you totally can put Windows on your Android flagship without doing anything! Now sell it exclusively on one carrier!"
And remember this?
That went nowhere as well.

Isn't Xolo the only OEM from the list that released a 8.1 device?
