a 32gb variant of the 8X needs to be announced.

Can someone help me with the xbox app on my Lumia?

When I got the phone I tapped the xbox tile and it auto made me an account on my new email address I have attached to the phone (beyond effin annoying) I wanted to transfer my xbox gamertag over to my new email.

After having to wait a month to do this for some reason, I've moved my gamertag to my new email, but the old crappy gamertag still shows up on the phone. Is it simply a case of waiting for the changes to take effect or am I going to have to do something?

 

[SCHUEY F1]

One thing I like about the 8X over the 920 is that due to the 720p resolution over the 768 you actually get a bit more screen real estate. Looking at video's you can fit vertically 3 rows medium size tiles and another row of small tiles. With the 920 that last row is cut in half. With the start screen I would definitely appreciate that extra space.

Edit: Example below.

8X looks good!

When you log on to Xbox.com with your new email, which avatar/gamertag shows up?

 

[Miles X]

The correct Gamertag. This is getting even more confusing, my Dyno gamertag on my 360 says my email is my new one, so I log into my new email on firefox and log in with that email to XBL and it comes up with the Dyno gamertag, all great so far. But in account settings it has my old email, I can't tell if this is just contact detail or something.

Actually I think Xbox.com recognises I've changed my email as it's showing up in places. Maybe I just need to wait for my phone to recognises the changes too.

 

[Snaku]

I want the 920 but the price difference between it and the 8x will probably be too great to not pocket. =/

And I'm loving that purple-blue color on the 8x.

wtf, looks like only 3 tiles on that 920. with my WP7 device now, it's nearly 4. hmmm.

 

[VanMardigan]

I have 4 and a 1/4 on my homescreen if I scroll away the black gutter on top.

 

[Milchjon]

Well, taking away the gutter on the right will make the squares bigger, so it makes sense.

4,3 tiles on my 800, I'd say.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

It has to do with the way WP8 handles resolution. WMPoweruser had a story on it. 1280x720 shows more than 1280x768.

You'll see just as much as Lumia 920 users.

Maybe you should do a sync on your Windows Live account and see if that forces it.

t-mobile USA will have an event on the 29th as well to showcase new devices. here's hoping a 9XX variant makes a showing. Note 2, 8X, and 810 will probably take the spotlight though.

I hope the 9XX varient is true.

 

[thirty]

probably not but who knows. we didn't think there were variants of the 820 and 920 but then the 810 and 822 popped up.

 

[buhdeh]

Are there any screenshots of messaging apps in WP8 (on a 720p screen)? I always felt like the headers took up way too much room and you end up seeing only like 4 lines of messages (based on WP7 screenshots).

 

[BlueTsunami]

I'd be all over a higher end Lumia offering for Tmobile. That's all im asking for.

 

[brotkasten]

Risk and Connect 4 for Windows Phone!

Spoiler

Exclusive to Lumia, lol

 

[SCHUEY F1]

I'm surprised that we haven't heard anything from Telus yet. They have both the 800 and 610 and I think the 800 did alright for them.

 

[VanMardigan]

I'm surprised at&t hasn't announced the Ativ S. Maybe the Focus brand left them with a sour taste. Focus, Focus S, Focus Flash, and Focus 2.

 

[Heretic]

I can't wait till all of this is sorted out with T-Mobile... I've had my G2 for not that long but it's felt like forever! Ativ or 8x... now I might get a Lumia variant!? *sigh* November can't come soon enough.

 

[kharma45]

a 32gb variant of the 8X needs to be announced.

I'd forgotten about it being 16GB, saw the £400 price on Amazon and thought it reasonable until I remembered about the storage. It'd be forgiveable if it had an SD slot.

 

[Milchjon]

Yes, this isn't new, but I just saw it in person:

It's freaking huge.

And yeah, I snapped it with my Lumia 800, which explains the awful IQ

 

[Commodore]

So dude took a ton of pictures at a Galaxy Note 2 event and the Ativ was there. Glad to see playlists are on its own pivot now instead of buried in the music menu.

Rest of the gallery here.

 

[Milchjon]

Seems like higher resolutions really work wonders for a typography based interface. That looks very clean.

Edit: Good to see there's a Wifi-only, best-quality auto upload option to SkyDrive.

Also, looking closer, what's that 7 digital logo right under the playlist heading? Carrier logo?

No clue what it means.

And what's this?

It's a music app.

A Samsung specific app.

DP.

You really know everything.

Yea im pretty much zeroed in on this. Going to be very disappointed if I can't grab one in the next week or two.

 

[Commodore]

So uh, anybody hear definite word on when we can pre-order a 920 here in the US yet? Rumors were the 21st? As in tomorrow.

I need to spend money on this.

Oh and what happened to your glorious avatar??

Big news day for WP:

Surface Phone revealed!

Get a 920 for free today!

T-Mobile pricing for 8X and 810 revealed!

Sorry. I just wanted some excitement.

Yep we still don't know. All I want to do is secure my Cyan 920 for release day. So tired of the games and rumors.

 

[VanMardigan]

No big surprise, but the Nokia US page confirms that there won't be a headset included in the 920 for AT&T.

When Samsung and Apple are included cheap headsets.......why not?

Because ATT is a piece of shit.

Obviously they'll pass the savings onto the consumer.

No, just don't take me to Vegas.

We're just products of our environment, man.

We live in a cruel cruel world.

Random question, anyone know if we're still able to do wireless syncing via XBOX Music?

 

[NeOak]

I love how the "unlimited smartphone" has a data cap yet the $10 bucks a month dumbphone plan has no cap and you can tether with a Symbian phone all you want.
