Because no one switches, fewer developers make apps. Catch 22.

What are some of the apps you really can't live without?

Well, the major train company here in Sweden has an app. Only for iOS and Android. I know there are transit apps in all app stores, but you can buy tickets from them right from this app.

Then there's Instacast...

If you want a cheap Windows Phone the HTC 8S will be a better buy.

Thing is, I only really want the 920 (it's actually the first smartphone I've been interested in).

The reason I might go with the free 800 @ £26pm, is because I'd likely get an unlocked/O2 920 whenever they become available next year and just put in my current sim, meaning I keep the £26pm deal with unlimited mins, texts and 1GB data.

(My mother would happily take the 800 off my hands too).

Why are EE only doing a black and white Nokia 920? Where's my bright yellow damnit!?

Belfiore's hair at the last conference was the rule, not the exception.

They will never learn. Celebrities and children, didn't you watch E3?

 

[Funky Papa]

Belfiore seems like one of Microsoft's most likeable executives, but I'll be damned if he doesn't have to peddle some lame-ass conferences.

Jesus Christ.

MS has an odd fixation with both. See: CES.

Phones 4U. They'll have yellow, red, white and black available...only on an EE deal.

No cyan and no other networks Pretty much down to the 8X or Nexus 4 now.

I asked earlier, but it is the G-sensor on the 8X??

That's where I read it from.

Gyro sensor?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

That was terrible, I don't know why I even watched it. All I wanted to know was the price and a specific date for the 920...

We still don't have those things?

I missed te event. How much for US AT&T and when?

 

[MegalonJJ]

No cyan and no other networks

The disappointment....it's like they want it to tank...makes no sense

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Gyro sensor?

Maybe, because it doesn't list a gyroscope.

That was kinda the point. Kind are annoying as fuck and putting them in the Kid's corner helps. Effective presentation.

You know what would've been an effective presentation?

Belfiore is soooooooooooooooo yesterday, Where is Panos? He would even sell me into having kids just so I can use Kids corner!

"See this kid I'm holding here? I'm going to drop it, even though everyone told me not to."

No mention of Canada in that. Wonder if the earlier news was bullshit?

At least they mention it exists. Nokia AT still playing dumb.

 

[derExperte]

The Verge/Topolsky has a bit of a history with Windows Phone. I don't think I ever minded the Lumia 900 review, but their flip-flopping sure was getting on my nerves.

Topolsky flip-flops on a lot of things these days. For example the Nexus 7 just went from 'classy, well-made product' and 'solid design that feels great in your hand' to 'feels like a toy' in the iPad Mini review hands-on. Flavor of the day I guess.

Is there a video of the new FB/Twitter apps?

If it's anything like the current one it will be 10 minutes of loading screen.

Timeline would be nice, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

 

[Subitai]

So is the yellow or blue HTC 8x available on Verizon? That's all I want to know at this point.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Is there a video of the new FB/Twitter apps?

Its amazing how badly optimized the current on is. I've been using the mobile site in its place.

 

[Milchjon]

This is interesting.

Kind of shows how stupid these patents are, again.

I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that it's because of a Nokia patent. Phones are generally more personal single-user devices. Adding more options/complexity isn't always a good idea.

No, its a special kit for reviews.

Instagram!

I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't have anyone I know using Instagram. Whenever we do get it I'm sure I'll try it once then likely never use it again.

Anyone seen any word of Flip Ahead being a part of IE10 Mobile? It's really nice on Windows 8. No more hunting for the next page button.

Is that what I think it is? Because if it means going to next page with a singular button, this would be awesome.
I don't think it's part of WP8, though.

 

[giga]

yay

Jesus, finally.

Yea on IE10 on Windows 8 you can just go to the next page by swiping (or clicking). Would be nice to have it on windows phone too.

Just saw this new Win Phone 8 advert

Think the lack of the Samsung phone says quite a lot.

This actually nicely illustrates what was wrong with today's event. If MS just sent out a list like this, it would've been much more impressive. Because there are actually tons of improvements in there.

Best thing about the keynote, really.

And that functionality sounds awesome, I really need to update soon.

I still can't decide between Lumia 920 vs the HTC 8X.

How important is a camera on a smartphone?

Nothing in my life is exciting to take a pic off but Lumia 920 is a future-proof beast.

But 4.5 is too big for me. Ideally, I prefer 4 inch but 4.3 is not too shabby.

If the camera isn't a big deal then the 8x is a good buy. It's going to be cheaper, but it does have less storage. The 920 has 32gb vs the 8x with 16gb, so that might be a deal breaker.
