has calmed down a bit.
Waiting until March for Apollo and pureview is gonna suck. But buying a non-pureview phone in November and then having the real deal release 4 months later would suck more.
Nokia have released a data/sms/call counter app. It's still in beta but it seems to work well so far, click here on your phone or scan this to give it a go:
"Sorry but this app won't work with this version of Windows Phone. The Good news is you can download an update from Zune."
Damn them.

Nice.
But because I'm dumb, I don't even really know what day my limit resets.

Only the text message counter works on my Lumia710, and sometimes the minutes seem to add up, but it certainly missed some in the total, even though, it registered it fine cause it registered it as longest call just didn't add it to total. data doesn't work at all so far.
Will have to give it a pass cause I have a custom rom though...
Settings -> email+accounts -> Windows Live -> Under "Content to sync", check "Email"

The metro name is dead, that sucks. 
Apparently there is a trademark dispute with a German company. Its just New User Interface now. That's old clunky MS naming all over again.

It works on my 710. Well so far I only just downloaded it and opened up Mobile Gaf and the counter went to 0.1mb.
That worked perfectly thanks!
Oh and WTF why can't I find whatsapp on the marketplace?

That's idiotic. Metro is a huge corporation behind supermarkets and electronics retailers, with almost no consumer facing activities.
How can this become a problem?
Oh hat Metro? Really? WOW!

Miust be name by the same guy that name Xbox "New Xbox Experience".
According to wiki, Metro AG is a cash & carry outlet ... not sure how someone would get that confuse with a user interface though I can see confusion when everyone naming their apps Metro something something.
edit: damm beaten.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Sounds like the same thing as people wanting a 900. Having to wait for Fall for WP8 is going to suck, but getting the 900, and having WP8 hit 4 months later would suck even more.
I feel ya though. Getting a new phone when you know such a massive feature is right around the corner that's hardware based is hard to do. God waiting till March is like an eternity though.
So I changed over to outlook.com for my account. Is there anything else I have to do on my Xbox? With the phone I just have to do the factory reset correct?
Edit: I'm all good. Just like MS it is good to start streamlining accounts. I never like my hotmail account name.

Well, I've heard rumours that the first WP PureView phones will use 12 MP sensor (found in N8) instead of the 41 MP one found in 808. If that is true, the camera will still be pretty good, but not as impressive as the "real" PureView.

This here is the problem. Metro AG owns:
"Don't fuck with Metro AG, if you want to sell your PCs in Europe" seems to be appropriate.
I believe Microsoft will hold an event where the new devices are announced + an in-depth preview of the new OS.

Nokia will reveal their phones at Nokia world.
I guess that MS will have revealed how awesome the OS is by then.
I guess that it also makes sense that every other manufacturer will be allowed to reveal their devices, so Nokia can say "Look at how awesome our phones are compared to that pos".

Question, I thought I read here that when the phone is in stand-by and WiFi is off, it turns itself on after an X amount of time to pull in emais and messages, then goes off again. Is that true?
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
sd card support had only been confirmed for music, pictures, and video based on the SDK. Well, I don't think it came up in this thread before, but I just noticed that Joe b said in the WP summit that you'd be able to store offline maps in the sd card, at least for the built in Nokia maps. I hope they extend the functionality of what you can store in the sd as much as possible.
Photos and Video are the primary concern for me. A PureView phone with built in memory only would be useless, so that's a good thing.
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
The problem I have is that Joe said in the same presentation that the sd card would allow oem's to introduce devices with limited internal memory. Think 8gb or less. Even if you are storing media on the sd, having only 8gb for apps and app data would suck.
For people who need more there's always the option to just get a phone with more memory.
For most people 8 GB with extendable storage is more than enough. I am currently using just a bit over 5 GB on my phone and that's with 2500 photos. You can store a lot of apps with 5 GB.
i dont really think 8gb of app only storage is a big deal as long as the SD card is integrated properly into the system.

It is.
no i dont think so
If by "WiFi is off", you mean that it is on but not connected while in stand by, then yes it should peridocally connect and check your account(s).

Why? Even the 41mp actually only creates 3/5/8 mp creates 1-3 mb files as pureview unless you're going to just ignore the advantages pureview offers where upon a point and click would serve better.

Do you know what the update interval is? And does is also work for pulling in WhatsApp messages?

Apparently the 36MP? effective file is still pretty damn good. I could see people who like to print big wanting to utilize the largest file the Nokia phones offer.

People who like to print big would be using a dedicated camera, the 38MP effective file is just a very large standard camera phone image with the artefacts you'd expect from such a small lens.

Nokia Lumia X sounds sexy.
Desperate for news aren't we?
Why not.

Maybe the second coming of N-GAGE and the weird design will fare much better with a real OS.

It'd probably come out at around the same time as the next generation of portable consoles. The landscape might look very different at that point.

In a few years definitely. You'd be surprised how powerful the new chips for the fall that might be in the iPhone is going to be.
Mint is finally confirmed for Windows Phone. Though looks like they are targeting Windows Phone 8 and with the built in money tracking features of WP8 its not as big a deal as it was when I first got my phone and it was one of the biggest loses I had moving from iOS. But still, good to see Mint join up. Bet they're planning a Windows 8 desktop app to coincide with the release as well.
