Stopped at a handful of AT&T locations around Columbus trying to find a Cyan phone. No luck. Checked 3, all were sold out of Cyan. Bullshitting with random reps seemed to indicate that the phone is moving well early on. One of them even talked with some knowledge about the phone. Big improvement!

Anyone seen any ads on tv yet? I'm surprised that ESPN hasn't been saturated with them yet.
I couldn't help myself I got a Cyan Lumia today
I already like it way more than my Titan.
VVM is working flawlessly and I'm enjoying LTE for the next few hours while I'm in Boston (no LTE in Pittsburgh)
Congratulations!

i ain't doing it. its not worth the 3yr plan if i have to compensate
If the rumours are to believed the flagship Apollo Nokia phone is sounding good with PureView, ClearBlack HD and the S4 Snapdragon, but it'll have a sensor based on the N8 and not the 808 which is a bit of a bummer if true. With all the hard work on the 808 it'd be a shame to see a camera module (no matter how good) from a 2010 phone.
That didn't work.
I'm sorry after you press *. You press 4 for personal options and then 2 for administrative options. Then it will prompt you with Password options. That should work or maybe since you aren't on LTE it is blocked.
I wish Rogers wouldn't fuck. Not having cyan is ridiculous. Could be Nokias fault as well I guess.

Seems to be blocked for non lte phones. So close.

I was blown away in Boston by the ATT Boylston St store (they said its the busiest in Boston). They only had two Cyan Lumias left and the first store I went to only had black left. They said they're flying off the shelves. I saw at least 3 employees using black 900's and they all are very happy with the phone.
God I'm going to miss LTE when I get home.

Bigger part is that this is rumored for Verizon.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
It helps too IMO that it's become AT&T's flagship LTE phone. Mad props to MS, Nokia, and AT&T for making this happen as this wasn't originally in the cards. LTE was suppose to be an Apollo feature, but props to AT&T for forcing this issue (I still hate AT&T).
There isn't another phone on AT&T that's even remotely comparable with LTE though unless you want the GSII LTE remix. I think at least for major cities this is a bigger selling point than many realize especially in 2012 (now that they have it rolled out in more areas).
Fuck consider me HYPED X 10000 for a new Nokia Apollo phone in the fall. It would be pimp as funk if we got to "beta test" the Apollo release this summer ala Mango last summer.
If you're American I guess
Hoping they do that too, and it's available to both first and second gen devices.

Has your SIM been properly provisioned for LTE service?
Probably not, it came out of my 4S. I can't connect to any network at all. I can make calls though.

Well, there's your problem. You need to call CS or stop by a store and have them set you up for LTE. if you haven't done that, no data will work. The only thing broken here is your data plan, not the hardware.
Actually, I just setup the APN manually. It's not on there by default apparently. The thing wouldn't connect to ANY data service EDGE/3G/4G before.

I wasn't talking about APNs. You need to have someone update your plans SOC code for a properly provisioned LTE plan. No difference in $, but it is needed.
Did that just now got a new SIM and like magic. It doesn't work again. This is really irritating.
I held a cyan 900 in my hand today. Checked out the bran-spankin' new uptown mall in my area with my wife, stopped in to an AT&T store and appreciated the general Beautifully Different everywhere. The phone is bigger in person than I thought. Feels really really good in my hand though. My wife didn't like the cyan color, too flashy for her, but I digg it. Gadget envy up, but I'm gonna live vicariously for now, till later this year. Hope some some serious HHGGGGGNNNNNNN phones are coming.
Cheap compared to your 4s? Definitely not the case IMO.

So, you got a new SIM and had your plan switched over to LTE? It can take a couple minutes for that to update. Just turn the phone off for a few minutes. If everything was done correctly, when you turn it back on, all will be well. In theory, that is. If not, then your problems are beyond me.
Maybe it's because I'm so used to the iPhone. But I still think the Lumia feels awkward to me. It's probably the polycarbonate vs glass/metal.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Well I said phone... I like the Note but it's in this weird nebulous area for me...
Also is the Titan 2 out yet? I didn't think it was out yet.
The Lumia is the only smart phone to come close to the iPhone 4/4S if you ask me. Just a matter of preference on which one you like better but they are both amazing looking phones.
It's out and boy does that screen look atrocious next to the clear black display on the Lumia. The quality of the 16MP pictures aren't anything to write home about either. Disappointing all around.

that thing isn't a phone man. that things an efing tablet.
Back up the contacts to Address Book then export that as something Windows Live can import then sync your phone with Windows Live.

i dunno about mac's, but for windows. i sync all my contacts through outlook.
also there should be a nokia app called contacts transfer which uses Bluetooth to sync contact between phones.
What's everyone looking to in Apollo in terms of software? I would like the following:
there's a lot more and I know Apollo won't be able to do everything but I'm hoping for the best.
True multi-tasking
Better Facebook and Twitter integration
Skype integration
More APIs for developers so they can do VPN, camera software
Finally fix the scrolling lag
More control on the email reply font
Checkbox to keep the status bar on all the time
Notification system. They can even just open up access to the Me tile for third party use to post updates
More video file support
Ability to resize tiles like in W8
Select mp3 as a ringtone easier
More accent colors
Set background picture
Better Bing navigation for those that don't have Nokia drive
Better browser
More landscape support
Faster camera and more camera settings
Better integration with Xbox live and PC
Profiles
Ability to set different sounds for each type of notifications
there's a lot more and I know Apollo won't be able to do everything but I'm hoping for the best.

It should be in the "Nokia Collection" part of the marketplace..
It's not there for you?
Yes the Titan 2 came out the same day as the 900 and it felt amazing in my hands also. I really like the curve at the bottom and I thought it was a major improvement over the first version. Screen doesn't hold a candle to the 900 though.

1) calm down.
2) ATT deleted most nokia apps to push their own service. go to the market place and look for nokia collection or just search contacts transfer.
you will never see true multi tasking on anything but droid. and frankly could care less. i really see no point to true multi tasking.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Main thing I want from Apollo besides hardware advances is just the ability for devs to natively code. The few natively coded apps on the system so far are awesome, but we need more of that. This would especially help out on the games front IMO.
Fuck you AT&T. Fuck you Microsoft for allowing AT&T to remove apps.
I'm definitely not getting LTE speeds. God I fucking hate AT&T sometimes.
Why the hell do people want true multi-tasking on your phone? The pseudo-multitasking is fine as is for conserving batterylife. I swear its only Android people that complain about true multi-tasking.
So far, Windows Phone is not quite up there with iOS. I put it above Android as far as a phone OS goes. I haven't used ICS yet, apparently only 2% of Android users have. The 16GB of onboard storage is quite disappointing, Apollo is going to change that I assume? The camera, for Nokia being touted as the best as far as phones go isn't as detail as the shots I compared with my 4S. Overall though, at $99, this is a great phone. Would I actually buy one? No, I have too much invested into Apple's ecosystem.
