someone commented on my post....
Sometimes if the post is a photo or video, you have to keep scrolling down to see any comments.

I noticed that too. I just assume that the 920 uses a wider-angle lens.

Cloud playlists where already teased before they shut the Zune team down.

if spotify did it, microsoft shjould be able to pull it off
Yeah, I never understand this. When spotify came to Austria I always questioned that. Is that a cost thing?

Nokia stock... so tempting...

If I had the money... But then my tag...
Nice comparison.
I too was surprised. Although it looks like they may be doing something in software that is screwing with the details and causing bad pixelation.

Yes, it's a cost thing. Back then, Microsoft wanted to pay on a per-user basis, but it seems the GEMA (something like the RIAA in Germany) insisted on 10 cent per streamed song. It's not that surprising that Microsoft backed the fuck off. Basically the same reason YouTube is gimped in Germany. "GEMA sought to raise its fee charged to Youtube to 12 euro cents per streamed video". Not every label or provider wants to pay that ridiculous amount of money.
But there's hope. Last year, GEMA introduced a new and more transparent pricing model for music streaming services and few months later, Spotify and Nokia Mix Radio were available.
I suspect the automatic mode plays a considerable role in these results. If the One X and the S3 were set to night mode, they might work better.
Otherwise I don't know why the iPhone with its f2.4 camera would do so much better than the One X at f2.0.

Did you click on the word balloon?

has calmed down a bit.
Engadget is kicking ass with their 920 coverage.
And the Lumia 920 is performing beyond all my wildest expectations. The night time city shots are simply remarkable. A generational leap over every other smartphone.
Can you imagine if that camera was on the iPhone? We'd have 15 threads on GAF already.

Yeah, in theory it will pop at least a little if sales match what the 900/800 did. Hard to predict what expectations will be going in though. :/

But you get a better quality of poster in here... Even the trolls bring some class to the proceedings.
Which reminds me... Who bagsied the wp8 OT?

To be fair, we had a thread about the camera and Nokia ruined it.

Its gotta be brot, right?
he can make it on his Galaxy Note
A colleague has it, it tells him that he is going to drive home in X hours.
Fantastic!
From what I understand it's pretty smart, but it's one of those things that makes me scratch my head for what I should need this and if maybe Google knows too much of me.
I have Google Now on my Nexus 7 but since i'm not very tapped into the Google ecosytem it doesn't really do anything for me other than tell me the weather. If you load all your calendar stuff into it I'm sure it becomes cooler, but not for me.
It's probably best on a phone, or a tablet you take with you places (like a Note). It's definitely no good for tablets that sit your nightstand or coffee table.
I don't think there's a large benefit to Now. The big difference is that Google Now learns all that stuff about you automatically. Looking at the functionality I've seen there isn't necessarily a real difference to WP provided the right apps are available.
For the commute Nokia has its My Commute app that basically does what google now does and displays comparable information on the live tile.
For flights Microsoft once demonstrated an app for some airline where you could also pin flights to the start screen and it would show similar information to Google Now.
Same for things like weather and sports scores.
If there are apps for those specific needs they would probably also have more to offer than a Google Now card.
Of course the app selection on Windows Phone is not that extensive and the available maps may not all make the best use of the live tiles.
Who's with me?
I don't have anything else going on today, might as well brick my phone!
e: Bonus! The rom has Nokia app support!

I think I'm going back to my semi-broken Optimus 7 for a while. Just to see how it is, after 3 months of Android.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Android 4.1 is not that bad. It's smooth, fluid, got apps and some parts of it look pretty good (like Google Now, which I never use) and I'll miss the Dolphin browser UI and probably some other stuff I can't remember right now.
But yeah, I want a 920.

Windows Phone keyboard > Android 4.1 keyboard
If you don't mind me asking, where are from? I always assumed America, but your intimate knowledge of GEMA and your user name make me wonder.
Well, he's got an Optimus 7. Math adds up pretty quick what region he's from.
Brotkasten means "bread box" in German and was a nickname for a Commodore 64 in Germany apparently. But then again I'm sure over 95% of the posters here with Japanese screen names aren't Japanese.

So... 500 to 600 euros in Europe?

Updated for Germany and Italy.
Disappointing. Those prices are higher than I would have liked. Ideally the 920 should be 550 Euros to compete with the GS3, but I can understand why it costs more.
Really disappointed with the Lumia 820. With WVGA and 8GB memory, I would have expected less than 500 Euros, maybe 400 Euros. At 500 it competes directly with the One X and the GS3.
My mother's contract will be renewed in november and I was hoping for an affordable, subsidized Lumia 820.

The German phone is a bit higher than I expected, but €599 sounds about right to me. I wasn't expecting any cheaper.
How much were HTC's phones again?
