We've lost a lot of good men this year.

I could be back within the week, buying this phone could get me into the habit of chopping and changing a lot.

Last year I had 6 different phones as I just kept getting the itch to switch, and if Nokia brings the goods I could be back.

I'll be keeping hold of my Optimus 7 though to see what 7.8 is like.

 

[PG2G]

FUCK YEAH




[EDIT]
Actually ... it's not listed in the US marketplace yet. What gives?

Their post says it might take 1-2 days

We've lost a lot of good men this year.

I am debating taking my Lumia back and paid 80.00 difference for the One-X and used that until Windows Phone 8 come out....then sell it.

Camera on Lumia just piss me off. Trying to convince my wife to let me keep Titan, but she rather have big screen. Also she think Cyan is too gaudy....

 

[Vanillalite]

I caved

At worst I sell it on eBay after a week when I realise I've made a huge mistake and I want to suck Nokia's glorious PureView dick.

So long as it's in good condition it's actually a really insanely good deal. You could probably flip it in 4 months, and actually make money on the phone still.

That's what I'm thinking, and if I'm not happy I can return the phone for free anyway.

This might be a battery/voltage thing- but on a recent three hour drive, my phone (Lumia 900) depleted itself completely to critically low, because I left Drive on, even though it was plugged in and charging to the car lighter adapter.

My brute force fix was just to switch back to the start page during the long stretches of freeway, but I can't help feeling it might be software or settings related. When off Drive, the phone would charge normally and quickly. And when running Drive, run SUPER hot and deplete.

What output is your car charger rated for? Are you using the cable that came with it or a different microUSB cable?

Hey, at least you guys still have a turtle that bought a WP7 after the announcement anyway here.

I was scrolling up from the bottom of the page and thought that was a Nokia.

 

[Doffen]

I would love for HTC to create a spiritual successor of HTC Diamond.

Lawsuit time.

I like that it has a 7.5 screen

@tomwarren: Nokia Lumia 920 with Pureview revealed, includes 4.5-inch display http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/31/3281985/nokia-lumia-920-specs-pictures-leak

@tomwarren: The Lumia 820! http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/31/3281988/nokia-lumia-820-windows-phone-leaks

I like it.

 

[derFeef]

Yeeessss!
Noooo more flat's on the 820?

 

[maeh2k]

There's still the possibility that these are fakes. Hope we'll get the camera specs soon.

 

[Fjolle]

Hmm. I'm not sure if i want a bigger screen than the one in my 800....

 

[Milchjon]

I like it.

That looks like... curved glass? Damn, seems like the full package.

Edit: Talking about the 920

 

[show me your skeleton]

HTC Accord?
http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/31/3281945/htc-accord-windows-phone-8-specs-image-rumor

seems like a spiritual successor to the samsung omnia 7.
also, very much like the nokia 920, let's see what it's got on the inside.


edit: what's so good about curved glass?

 

[kharma45]

Lumia 920 looks awesome, will probably get it in February-March time when the price comes down a bit, the One X I ordered will tide me over until then.

It's sexy.

 

[VanMardigan]

I am disappoint. I'll wait until the full unveil, but the renders seem meh. Hopefully it looks better in real life, and of course I'll wait to see what the camera can do.

Also, no sd card, no buy.

There still could be MicroSD support if there was a flap on the side or the bottom to put one in, but I'm just trying to be optimistic

I would be surprised if they released a Pureview phone without an SD card slot.

 

[VanMardigan]

The lack of a camera bump and the unimpressive quality of the YouTube teaser also makes me worry that they are about to dilute the pureview brand.

Yeah it should not be just a name for the camera, it should stand for the real sensor.

 

[Tomcat]

no xenon flash?

 

[kharma45]

Unless they offer a range of storage sizes from 16GB to 64GB.

I'm not too worried about a YouTube promo video.

Looks like it's next to it.

BACK IS NOKIA

 

[bloodforge]

That 920 looks nice. Want a white one.

.

I don't even wanna think about what a 4.5" Pureview device with 64 GB storage would cost.

 

[PG2G]

Looks good to me, though that doesn't look like PureView at all to me. The phone looks exactly the same as the Lumia 900, will be interesting to hear the camera specs.

I tried to look at the original source for the info but looks like the twitter account no longer exists. Still, im guessing Tom knows it is real

Yeah Tom confirmed it's real.

 

[Vanillalite]

Camera looks umm weak? The thing about pureview that had me excited was what Lmn8r talked about in that it's all about the censor size. It's not the megapixel count that I want. My current phone's 8 MPs is fine. I'd just like a bigger sensor to get better pics (though my One X can take some really good pics in non low light situations).

 

[PG2G]

Yeah, it definitely looks wimpy. It looks the same as on the Lumia 800/900. It definitely is going to be baby-PureView.

Nokia should be releasing phones every few months, so I guess we'll see a full up PureView sometime in 2013.

 

[Frost_Ace]

920 is smexy.

Then you don't really care about Pureview. Anybody can plop a big sensor in a phone, you don't need Nokia for that.

$299 with a two year contract!

Also, I'm putting a lot of stock in the YouTube teaser because we have YouTube purview video and it looks much, much better.

This thing is not going to have the 1" or 1.2" sensor in it. So it will certainly not have the quality of the 808. But it should be at least better than any other .8" sensor due to sampling technique.

Has the Lumia come in that yellow before? I really like it.

 

[brotkasten]

It was planned for the 900, but probably not feasible with the little gap between the release and OS 8.

 

[kharma45]

It has been pictured but never released, same for grey

 

[Troll]

I think it's pretty safe to say that the Ativa will have a hard time selling with this on the same carrier.

Is it rumored to be Quad or Dual core? (the 920)

There are no quad-core phones at launch.

 

[Sordid]

Unless something else awesome is announced the 920 will probably be my next phone :*)

Is Nokia pro pentile? I really hope its SLCD2.

 

[PG2G]

Is Nokia pro pentile? I really hope its SLCD2.

Both the Lumia 800 and 900 were AMOLED. The 800 was pentile, the 900 wasn't. Are there any non-pentile AMOLED 720p displays out there?

The One X isn't

but at 720p the pentil-ness is unnoticeable.
