Yeah, that's pretty crappy behavior. I was going to hit the "pay for full version" button to support the dev, then I remembered reading something about the dev abandoning the app and asked here. Sure enough, the app has been pulled from the market (I had installed it on my phone before it got pulled I guess). Good thing I didn't waste my money.
Confirmed: AT&T launching the Nokia Lumia 920 on November 4th

Welcome to few years ago!
I know, :lol Still happy nonetheless.
Edit: Now I can bitch about some of the artist pics being to low res
The exact day my contract is up. Assuming it launches the same day here is Australia.

I expect it on that date but I don't see how that's confirmed.

Pocket now has a video of the 920 up, but there is something funny about the lock screen. Go to 6:36 and see if you notice it.
I don't see it?

the screen is just inverted for some reason
Yeah, the whole thing is mirrored, the buttons are on the other side too.
That's it? I was hoping for excitement :-(
Yeah, slow day. Being an owner of a WP you should be used to disappointment by now, right?
Oh, no, I'm fine. That's what being a Mac user a decade ago must have felt like.
Lol, I still feel that way about my Macbook. 2k on something I barely ever use. At least my wife uses it.
No, I mean it in a positive way. Being denied so much of the good stuff and still feeling totally superior and pretty content, mainly due to design. That strikes me like the situation Mac users were in not too long ago.

Verizon isn't getting the Lumia 920, which means neither will I. Is Verizon getting any new Windows 8 phones?
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
Why did AT&T hold an event to show off their phones and then choose to light the place like a 16th century dungeon?
They should be getting the HTC 8X and the Samsung Ativ.

Wait...Really? Holy Fuck Rogers, get with the damned times! Another reason why I advise everyone away from Rogers, them and their company can go burn in hell for all I care.
Catching up on the week's shows not my picture but my question:

Was that a magenta Lumia in this week's Parks and Rec?

A bunch of us are already complaining in the Rogers forums and they already responded and are going to pass our displeasure up the chain, not that it will do anything.
Absolutely. All the marketing, the accessories is about the colour options and to only have black is ridiculous.

Wait what the fuck, it's confirmed that Rogers is only getting it black? Are you fucking serious?

to view a pic in app tap the tweet then swipe across to the image panorama, I do feel sorry for the Carbon dev, but I'malso sure theyll be back, the Mehdoh dev orphoned it and is now back.
or you could try flow tweet, his claim is fast and simple with inline images...
Cyan isn't listed as a colour on the Nokia UK site and still no UK price either hopefully soon though. The Ativ S is up for pre-order at Handtec, £480 is more than I was expecting (especially compared to £396 for the HTC 8x)

If HTC released a Cyan WP8X for all carriers, how many of you would jumpship just because Nokia is unable to privide clraity on colors and availibility?

I'm impressed by the photos taken with my 900 in my first photography club's outing. Some of them look a bit underexposed, but not too much. Most of them look fine, and the bokeh feels nice in macro shots. Hmm..
I also took some photos with flash on in complete darkness in my room, and found out that setting exposure to +1 makes farther objects look detailed, even at ISO 100. (ISO 100 is my favourite ISO setting)
That made me wonder: what's making me able to ignore the camera's faults easily? Then again, the last firmware update IS about fixing the camera generally...

t-mobile USA customers hoping to use the 920 on their network, there is hope.

t-mobile is going to soon be selling sims for the iPhone 5 if you live in a "refarmed" area. what that means is phones on att (including the 920) will now work for t-mobile in certain cities. for now, they are LA, NY, Vegas, DC, and Seattle.
clarification, they work now on edge but not hdspa+ unless in a refarmed area. also, the phone has to be unlocked too. anyone know how easy it is to unlock phones these days? I remember it was as simple ad buying a code on eBay, is this still the case?

The camera is fine if you willing to ignore all the post processing artifacts... I just can't stand all the green/blue tint that crop up into every picture I took with my Lumia 900. For me it's the worst camera on a smartphone I own since the original iPhone. My Focus take hell of a better picture than the 900. And yes I have the latest firmware update.
On another note, I just notice something annoying about the Lumia that was not present on my old Titan, I am not sure if it is from the last firmware but now the control on the headphone doesn't work in Zune podcast if the phone screen is off for extend period of time. It work fine with Podcast! (3rd party app) and work fine with music but when I listen to podcast if the phone has been un-disturbed it doesn't pause with the button on the headset. I would have to press it several times before it register... super annoying especially when I need to pause it in a hurry which I ended up having to take the phone out and wake it up. Defeat the whole point of having remote on your headphone.
looked into unlocking ATT phones and it can run up to $100. don't think that price is worth trying to get the 920 to work on t-mobile.
looks like I might go Simple Mobile (2gb 4G data cap) and the 920 or stick with t-mobile (4gb 4G data cap) and get either the 8S or 8X. damn you att, I will not sign up to a contract.

Heh. Rogers person responded to me on Twitter.
"We did see their marketing, they're obviously a partner of ours
when he added the ! that just screamed sarcasm to me

The more I look at the 8S/8X, the more I realise how great the design of the phones complements the OS.
That OLED screen....if only it was the higher resolution spec,

I want that 920.http://www.youtube.com/watch?annota...&feature=iv&src_vid=D7N6YcthFaI&v=Cj-1bHcuFvg
do we have any french people in here?
The reads about developers abandoning the platform worry me. Maybe I'll get one as a second business phone.

I think the trinity of WP8, Windows 8 and 360 will have a few extra devs on board tbh

I was thinking today, if the Lumia 920 has super sensitive touch and the screen basically reacts.to everything, how will it cope with screenprotectors?
I've put my Lumia 800 into various pockets for a year now without any case, sleeve or protector, and it's completely free of noticeable scratches. I don't think you'd need one.
