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.

Not needing one and not beeing able to use one are two different things.

I know ;-)

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?

Because the screen protector is uniform, it shouldn't register. The touchscreen only fires when it notices a substantial difference in the electric current in one spot. Super-sensitive is enabled by new algorithms which improve the ability to detect or reject smaller spikes.

So it's all done software-side? That's rather cool.

There is probably a hardware element as well (a new controller with more compute ability to run the new firmware).

Sony updated some of their Android phones with this feature. They even work with gloves now. It's probably all on the software side.

the 920 has rich recording too (mono though but on concerts mono or stereo wont be a big difference)

Does the congressional slap against ZTE and Huawei impact WP8 in any way?

I'd say the ZTE PoorPeople 2 and Huawei KindaGood with Windows Phone won't be released in the US, but that's it. Microsoft wants them as partners for the Chinese market anyway.

I think it has more to do with cell phone towers/equipment than actual cell phones.

Has anyone have connection problems with the msn/fb chat today? I can't connect all day

T-Mobile was never able to get the iPhone.

Until now!

But seriously, this looks so much better than the 820.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Cool that you will able to change the back cover as well.

 

[derFeef]

I like it a lot, more detailed features would be sweet.

 

[brotkasten]

Sounds pretty much like the 820. 4.3" WVGA OLED CBD, 8 MP camera.

Comparison with the AT&T 820

The difference isn't huge, but I like the 810 case a lot more.

 

[hwalker84]

The 810 looks a lot better.

 

[Souldriver]

Well, I definitely can't call it ugly because it's almost impossible to have an opinion on something as plain and neutral as this.

 

[Frost_Ace]

Guys, is there a way to save images from bing image search or do I have to resort to google? :/

 

[Anton Sugar]

From WP Central (820 on left, 810 on right):

810 looks MUCH better than 820. I was somewhat neutral on the 820 before, but it looks cheap in comparison.

 

[Milchjon]

Well that's just boring.

 

[Commodore]

From within Bing image, no. But if you click the link the image is associated with, it'll take you to the webpage in IE. Long press the image to save.

 

[brotkasten]

Well that's just boring.

They should show some pictures with other back covers, because it's say that it looks even better with them.

 

[Frost_Ace]

ok, thanks

Hmm, also, if TMo is getting an exclusive variation, wonder what the rumored Verizon (822) variant might entail?

Why haven't they switched the names? 810 looks to be better than 820, should be named higher XD

 

[thirty]

if T-Mo could also announce a Nokia 910 and Verizon could announce a Nokia 822 and 922, Nokia might single-handedly save the platform in a single holiday season.

 

[thirty]

BTW, who's with me in twitter/facebook bombing HTC in requesting a 32gb version of their 8X?

 

[brotkasten]

?

It doesn't look quite like the 820. The back is different, the FFC is on the left, whereas the AT&T 820 got it on the right side, next to the carrier logo, the speaker isn't at the edge of the bezel and the corners look more like the HTC 8X and there's no weird slot next to the micro USB port. The transition between the bezel and the case looks smoother, too.

e: pictures of the weird things I mentioned:

 

[Heretic]

I'm on t-mobile and have been waiting all year to jump into a Windows Phone... phone. I hope they get a 920 Variant or else it's the 8x for me. I'm craving the camera on the 920 though!

 

[maeh2k]

They should have kept the inside part of the 820 the same across all carriers and customized the phone using differently shaped shells. That way people could buy different shells to change even the shape of the phone.

kind of looks like the surface phone concept image everyone has been clamouring over.

I think everyone hoped for VaporMg.

 

[Raistlin]

So has the entire no grey 920 on AT&T been confirmed ... or is it simply a matter of them not enumerating everything and concentrating on cyan?



I'd have to see it in person, but I'm actually leaning towards grey over cyan.

 

[thirty]

810 is a nice step, come on Nokia keep the surprises coming.

It doesn't look like AT&T will get a grey version.

I'm pretty much set on a cyan, but I want to see the glossy finish in person to see if its as horrible as I imagine it to be.

Go to a store and take a look at the white Lumia 900, if they have one (lol). Same glossy finish and I didn't like it at all.

I thought the 920's cyan was matte.

 

[jossueinacoma]

yea, im pretty sure i saw on twitter that NokiaUSA confirmed that cyan is matte

 

[VanMardigan]

I thought the 920's cyan was matte.

It is, but I like the Yellow and I'm trying to see if I could tolerate the gloss finish.

 

[venne]

Apparently AT&T is giving out free unlock codes for 900s.

[SCHUEY F1]

I'm mentally preparing myself to get an 8X if ColourGate with Rogers and the 920 isn't sorted. Missing pureview, more storage and Nokia apps will be a bit of a bummer though. Music takes up the majority of my storage, but I will fill that gap with my Zune HD and Skydrive storage if need be.

 

[lastflowers]

I just bought a Qi energizer charger from amazon in preparation. God dang it, I don't want to switch to AT&T

 

[Magni]

So the 810 only has 480x800?

 

[Troll]

Here is a video of the Ativ being handled by a chimpanzee.

 

[NeOak]

same as the 820

Nokia Atlas leaked, too.
