And isn't it mainly a developer conference, too?

This is shaping up to be a clusterfuck.

Edit: I'm finally getting around to watch the presser. Love the look into the 920 interior right at the beginning.

They'll obviously reveal the features before Build.

You underestimate Ballmer. You'll see the features after you buy it.

 

[venne]

Build starts Oct 30th; WP8 is suppose to launch on Oct 29th :|

The final SDK isn't even out yet and it's like 2 months 'til release. I don't know what they're doing.

I suppose one benefit of not releasing the WP8 SDK is that the old hardware won't be left to rot quite so quickly.

 

[MCD]

WP8 is never coming out.

 

[Milchjon]

I like that they're improving the integration of Maps and Drive.

 

[VanMardigan]

WP8 is never coming out.

Wrong, it was already released.

When The Verge originally started leaking info, it was 920 a temp AT&T exclusive with the 820 going to T-Mobile and a 820 variant (822) going to Verizon.

Worst comes to worst, you guys should be getting the ATIV S though. Doesn't seem like they will be a shortage of awesome WP8 handsets this fall.

If they follow the convention, it'll be the 8X+

YES.

 

[JaggedSac]

Just updated to the new reader. Downloading incredibly slow though.

 

[Milchjon]

Twitter and FB notifications on the start screen are new, right? And what's the icon in the middle?

 

[PG2G]

In WP8 you can choose X number of apps to provide notifications on the home screen (like Win8). It looks like a Windows icon of some sort, so maybe some sort of Live or Messenger notification?

 

[Tomcat]

i think its 5 apps

Finally skimmed through the presser last night, been feeling under the weather. That opening animation was fantastic. Would make a decent commercial.

Still can't email out the files, so they're still stuck in there. Screw those guys.

Puremotion HD Plus is a way of saying 60hz refresh rate with 332 PPI? How does that compare to the best phones out right now?

its the best screen right now
maybe iphone5 can top that or maybe not

Looks like the old Windows logo.
Also nice.

You don't need to worry about the 920's screen.

 

[HollovVpo1nt]

I don't think wireless charging will do the Lumia any good, technically. I think that many people will charge their phones for short amounts of time - 10 minutes on the pad, 30 minutes on the pad etc - during the day. When I charge my phone, I usually wait till it drops to below 35% and then fully charge it again. Doesn't short charge sessions wear out the battery? Given that the Lumia 920 also has a unibody, swapping a worn out battery also isn't possible.

IIRC, no. That used to be the case with older battery technology.

tmo news reported tmobile usa will be getting the eight x aka the accord. still sucks that tmobile is only getting the midrange stuff.

 

[Milchjon]

Still going through the press conference, I love that they actually put the Samsung ATIV in the lineup of "boring, colorless" phones.

yea serious, WTF. If T-MO gets the Ativ-S, 820, and the Accord i may still just get the 820. Im lost on the decisoin tbh.

Depending on who they source the IPS screens from, it could have bleeding and image retention issues. .

Better than having to suffer general imprecision with PenTile OLED displays at such a high PPI. Oh, and battery life.

 

[Milchjon]

I think I finally realized what a great phone the 920 will be. It has improvements in almost every area, and I'll be very satisfied with it. The only thing that could put a hole in my excitement would be some big surprise from Apple, but from the leaks, it'll have a hard time winning me over.

Nokia, don't blow this.

I'm going from an OG focus to either a 920 or an iPhone 5. Either way I may not be prepared for how much better my new phone will be.

I want a matte colour too, but I can't go black again even it means getting glossy white or red.

Yeah, the black looks boring. I'll manage with the red or yellow one. The red looks very hot.

I'll agree to this compromise.

Red would be great. I like Ferrari and the Montreal Canadiens are primarily red

I think I would pick a different colour for the tiles however.

 

[Magni]

All I ask is IE10 :/

That's not gonna happen, I thought MS already confirmed it.

They're not even shipping this year though. Can't even rely on Canadia to rid us of trolls.

Buy two red ones and a white one - Baby, you got a flag going!

Hey, same thing actually works with the German flag.

brb, gotta earn some mone for three phones.

The 900 released in Canada pretty quick after the US launch. Hope it is the same case with the 920. I will be pissed if they only offer black again at launch.

 

[kazinova]

Red matte 920 is all I want.

The shiny red and yellow looked hideous to me on Wednesday but the more video I see of the phones the more they grow on me.

I'll still end up getting a matte grey one, but the red in particular is a close second.

 

[steelcity]

Grey and Yellow are tied for me. Yellow may be too flashy and grey too boring. I love my white 900 but i don't want the same color again.
