Am I seeing it wrong or is there a slight indentation to the camera lense paneling so that it looks like when you lay the phone down it won't touch?

Yup, saw that awhile back. One by one, they come.
How long did it take for you to hack it? Can you link me to a tutorial pls... I really want 7.8 on my phone.

Amazon.co.uk has the HTC 8X up for preorder at £399, confirming a price shown on a Sim free phone website.

It's a bit of a bargain compared to the competition, wouldn't be surprised if it's cheaper than the 820

This link should be sufficient.
Took me about 20min, only becuase I have a fresh install of Windows 7 and I needed to go find the drivers to connect to the phone and winRAR.
From what I've read vodafone is supposedly pretty much on par with t-mobile. Don't know if there are any big regional differences or anything.
The Lumias would be a lot more compelling at a lower price. With the 8X at around 500 Euros and the Ativ S at around 550 Euros, it seems like the 820 which also comes in at around 500 Euros should be priced somewhat lower. I really like the shells and Nokia's exclusive apps, though.
What current color scheme (background + accent colors) do you use on WP7.5? How often do you switch up?
Do it!
Currently I'm using dark background with red accent, but I sometimes use Nokia blue as well.
yeah by using an 808 one of the stuff I like is that i can see the time and date without touching the power button. Notifications are a plus too.

Where did you come from before going WP7.5?
Glad you like it
I love that the OS and the app design is so different than the others.

I had an Android phone. It was ok with ICS, but it wasn't a new device. Android for was like, in the first few months I used 4 or 5 homescreens (OMG WIDGTES!!11) and as time passed by the number started to decrease. I ended up using only one and I was bored. The apps were really ugly too...

As for me, I switched to WP as soon as I encountered frequent freezing with my Galaxy S, which is EOL. It'll never get ICS.
My heart is getting set on that color too. I'm going to be depressed if AT&T doesn't get that color.

If the 920 was that price I'd be loving it, I know it wont be though. Surely the 820 won't be that much?

Apps get auto-killed if left alone for too long. Or when it starts to run out of memory. Internet Explorer tends to gobbles up memory to ensure a smooth browsing experience.
So in the video he says to choose the rom for your device, we just use the 7.8 rom with the MAGLDR, no need to use the ver 1.3 rom that he shows in the tutorial right?
Once MAGDLR is on your device you just need to connect it in DLR mode. Then run the ROM that is linked on the XDA thread that WPCentral had.
Edit: The only thing that sucks about the ROM is that it replaced the IE search behavior from loading Bing to a google.com.vn search. Not sure what language it is but it's irritating. Also, the spell correct is off by default you have to activate it.
Also, I can't figure out how to activate the turn to silence feature they say is included.
Works well otherwise.

My phone has been stuck at the Samsung logo for a bit, it freaked me out for a second until the dude in the video said that it's normal. So, hopefully when the phone is done I can start using it. Thanks for the help.
e: Did you disconnect your phone from the PC when it was stuck on the Samsung logo?
e2: Lol, looks like i'm getting 4g on my focus. smh.
Sorry, I should have mentioned how long the initial boot takes. Also that this all wipes info off the device.
The boot seems to take longer but the ATT logo is gone so yay no blinding orange light if the phone restarts in the night.
The battery percentage on the drop down is nice even if it only goes in 5% chunks.

has calmed down a bit.
It's like an android thread up in here.
Blame Samsung.
I blame your avatar.

DO you mean like the Zune 30/HD/80/120?
I'm not sure.
I saw the Red 920 proto in person today, looks sweeeeeeeeet.
Are you going to pick up the 920 or the 8x?

not sure. I'm heavily debating between the two. The weight of the 920 is not an issue to me, but I like the look of the 8x more + I've been infatuated with HTC since their early WinMobile devices + I like their 8x design just a wee bit more than the lumia.
Nokia exclusive apps + camera tech + wireless charging + everything else they are doing is mighty impressive.
I'm literally at a crossroads deciding between the two. It's weird and relieving that a choice can paralyze me like this.
