loved the notification light on my old htc g1, great way to see if you've a missed text/call whatever without picking up the phone.
Just saw this. Now we can call shenanigans on Nokia.

Don't do that to yourself.
Well the Nokia 808 Pureview shoots 8MP as well. Perhaps TheVerge misunderstood and this will be a 21 MP sensor downsampled for 8MP pictures.... argh who am I kidding lol
So the Phi doesn't have a special edge in the camera department. Let's wait and see how the rest of the features stacks up to the iPhone 5 and Galaxy SIII/Note2. I'm really hoping for a notification led and/or bluetooth support for connected watches.

Guys, these are all rumours for now! Wait until September 5, OK? Patience goes a long way. Then we can be disappointed for real... or maybe not.

has calmed down a bit.
Absolutely baffling. Also, no mention of SD card support. I literally can't believe that, for the third year in a row, Samsung is going to have the best Windows Phone at the end of the year. Unbelievable.
No SD card, an 8mp sensor that shot the unimpressive teaser video, and very likely a smaller battery than on the Ativ S.
I'll wait for the official announcement but.........what the hell Nokia? Samsung doesn't even give a shit about the platform and they can just throw together a better spec sheet? At 8MP, we can almost guarantee that the next iPhone will have the best camera this fall. Heck, I've seen better video on youtube from the iPhone 4S than the teaser Nokia shot with the 920.

I suppose we should all have expected this when there was no visible camera bump on the backside. Not a dealbreaker for me, but I imagine more than a few people will be disappointed by this.
Personally, what I'd really like is better audio out, my L800 does not sound good, even with the audio fix. Also, SD card support, where the fuck is it? Lastly, pentile. Let it go, Nokia.

I don't understand why the 920 wouldn't have an SD card?
You'd think that would be an important feature if they're going to market the phone's camera with the (now worthless) PureView branding.
It's premature to assume that the next iPhone will have the best camera this fall. While Nokia has dropped the ball so far on the Lumia line, they've previously shown that they can do great phone cameras without the pureview tech. No iPhone has surpassed the Nokia N8. I'll wait until both phones are released and compare before making proclamations
or just get an 808

Just got a Lumia 900 on Thursday
Fucking navigation buttons stopped working. Phone is completely unusable, and I'll have to wait until 4 tomorrow to go to a store and get it replaced under warranty.
Piece of shit

You do know that Nokia will show their next generation phones in two days and that the OS on it won't be compatible with the 900.
Right?

That's fine. I don't really care. My last phone was a Samsung Sunburst I got for $10. I neither can afford, nor want, a newest model top of the line phone. I just want the shit I purchase to actually fucking work.
Lumia charge pad.

If thats one of the new lumias the corners look more rounded. I like that much better than the current ones.

The Lumia 820 according to The Verge.
http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/3/32...wireless-charging-microsd-exchangeable-covers
Exchangeable covers, 8 gigs(???), SD card, 1.5 dual core with 1 gig of ram (Wasn't it 384 last week?). Nothing about screen res.
It feels more like a 710 successor to me..

That's cool, I really like Notification LED's.
They just listed stuff the 920 had and not stuff it didn't have. It could still have an SD card slot. There's of course the possibility that they think it doesn't need one since it already comes with 16 or 32 GBs, but I'd just wait for the official presentation before lamenting the lack of SD support.
if it doesnt have sd it will probably have 32gb so its not a big problem
i believe that it will have microsd though
show me your skeleton
Member
if it does have 32gb already, is that the maximum wp8 can use? i don't know how android works but can it have, for example 32gb on phone and 32gb external storage, or is it just 32gb (or whatever the actual limit is) across both internal and external?
I'd imagine there's almost no limit, whatever W8 can take WP8 can take.
Fjolle

The Samsung plastic phone has 32 GB internal and SD card support.
I'm gonna make a wild guess and say it just adds to whatever the internal storage is for a "seamless" experience. Probably a toggle in apps as to whether they want to store data on the internal or external memory? I don't think a file manager will appear in WP8 so hopefully whatever system they have in place is intelligent enough.
All these phones should ship with SDXC support, right now you can get 64GB cards, not sure if 128GB is widely available or not. The standard itself supports all the way up to 2TB, lol.

the new SMS-synch with outlook could be biiiiig for me. if it works like facebook chat in outlook and just synchs that shit, it would be fantastic.
The Facebook chat integration on Outlook.com/skydrive is amazing. The messages arrive faster than in facebook running alongside it.

That also fully syncs with the messaging app on Windows 8 if you are running that. It's very cool.
Now all we need if full messaging sync between Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 similar to the iMessage sync between iOS and OSX. I would break my contract and pay the fat coin if that feature exists.

i think there might be a surprise or two. that new mode for children or something was a big surprise, even after the leak of the emulator
Agreed, we've probably seen most of the OS; 80-90%. There may be one or two features they've held onto until this months' events, but nothing ground breaking, for sure. I'm happy with how it looks right now. Fixing a lot of the gaps in WP7 and keeping a lot of the same stuff I like (design, style, speed).

September 5 can't come soon enough, even though it's just slightly more than one day away from the event. Reading all the comments about these Lumia rumours made me cringe on other tech sites. They say that the best thing to deal with inaccurate rumours is to quash them with hard, cold facts, no?
(If the phones are that locked, rest assured that we still have something to look at tomorrow.)

I think all HTC phone has LED notification. I like it on my Titan because I knew when battery is full.
Steelyuhas

Yeah I have a Titan, and it is used for battery. Blinking red for low battery, red with charging, and green when fully charged.
What I would like to see if a blinking green notification light for when I have an unchecked notification on the phone (be it missed call, text, voice mail, tweet mention, etc).
