That's probably how it works. I sync'ed Zune Pass songs (that I didn't own) onto my Sansa Clip (amazingly it works, best hidden feature ever?), but I do have to refresh the license every two weeks or so.

He really likes it. Relly really likes it. He lives over an hour away from me so it's not easy for me to get a hands on with work during the week. But it he was handed a 920, I honestly probably would have by now.

pretty sure places are getting the phones on tuesday the 6th or friday the 9th. best of luck though!
Phones4U offers free speakers and charging plates to the first 500 people who order a 920.

Phones 4U in Wimbledon says either tomorrow or (definitely) Tuesday. Free wireless charger too. They also have the 8X there.
My girlfriend says 920 is too big (not too heavy, just small Japanese hands) and says yellow is a little feminine. She loves to look of the pink Lumia 800.
Unfortunately they didn't have 820 or 8S for her. She's worried that AU won't let her use it in Japan. This gives Nokia and Fujitsu until Spring (when we go on holiday to Tokyo) to makes us a Japanese Lumia 920 or Fujitsu WP8 device. She has a 4S and thinks 5 is a silly upgrade.
For me... It's been a long ride, but I'll settle for Yellow. It's beautiful in person.
... Now to watch Skyfall a second time.

They had those demo things. I was referring to the glossy shell of it, even as a demo it looks nice.
I hope Nokia release Magenta and Cyan for their next upgrade, it's important for couples.
Can't wait 'til Tuesday! =)

That would be sweet.
Dammit, not in the top 20 in this thread. Actually, not even close.

Yeah, I was doubtful on my funds, but the free charger is SECOND CREDIT CARD WORTHY.
I wish some websites would improve their support for WP IE.
Google is the obvious thing, they won't let me access stuff that's perfectly usable on my 5 year old iPod Touch. But they may have a reason at least.
What pissed me off today is finding out, after months of being redirected to a godawful WAP version of NFL.com, that there is a rather nice mobile version that seems to work nicely on IE. The thing is, even when entering m.nfl.com, I get redirected to wap.nfl.com. Only direct links to specific parts of the site, as for instance news stories, let me use it.
BULLSHIT

Nice review of 920

Can someone quite the summary from it? It's not easy on WP7.

Wait until 10% marketshare(tm)
At least devs are getting the message. I've seen sites going good all of a sudden...

I was trying to upgrade my wifes phone as she wants my L800. So I was speaking to a Vodafone UK rep online who informs me that they won't be stocking ANY WP8 until Jan next year. Unbelievable.
I actually went and sent their support a message :-D

First post from my 8x i caved... Finacee is going to kill me ��
:lol I remember doing stuff like that with my wife.
Impressions and pics please
Edit: Also I'm #4 in posts! I figured top 10, but not top 5.
Peeking my head in after a long night. Verge's 7.9 920 review seemed to basically say if you're fine with the size and weight, and happy with the app selection, the phone offers one of the best screens and best low light camera on the market. I'll definitely look forward to finally holding it in my hands, also good to hear about more than a few battery assessments, sounds like it'll do for a day. I'd love a smart phone that'll make it through two days on a charge, but with my use, I've yet to meet one that can do it and I doubt there will be one for a while still.
Concerning the launch, really really sucks we don't know all the details yet. Everything seems so last second by most of the carriers getting things ready, and considering the hype for a few of us, to corner down firm details on the very second phones are available, it looks like more than a few of us are are at the point of figuratively(perhaps literally) hitting our heads against a wall. I don't see the point of working myself up into a lather about it though. We know November is the month, let them figure out their launch and tell us when they're actually ready. Its never soon enough, and that's the damn reality.
Van:
Can't you just forgo software this time and simply drag and drop files? I swore I've read that somewhere but I'm too lazy/tired to track it down.
e: I'm in 8th in the thread. Windows 8. Windows Phone 8. 8 is so hot right now. 888! Means I'm the most thematically relevant to...winning? Right? RIGHT??

Not sure how it will work on Windows Phone 8 ... since well I don't have one yet. But if the Xbox Music on Windows Phone is the same as their Windows RT app, then all the Zune music will just show up for streaming. All the one I got when I briefly have the Zune all show up even the one I forgot about. There is an option to download the Zune Pass song in Windows 8 Xbox Music App, I am thinking it will just be the same for Windows Phone 8.

What can i say, its windows phone with more tiles, its quicker, flows more smoothly with new animations, you can turn on tap to send if Bluetooth is on.
audio is strong, no eq though not even HTCs old app.

See that Galaxy S3 and One X at the bottom?
That's represents every Windows Phone 8 for now.
The Galaxy S3 with the Mali400 GPU at the bottom? Yeah, that's the same GPU Nokia is going to use in their later models, when they switch to ST-Ericsson SoCs.

You're scoring very high on my proprietary Buzzkill test.
Also, if I'm not playing 3D games, does this even affect me in any way?
How does the hardware feel, what colour did you get, camera impressions..

Not at all. UI acceleration makes Windows Phone the smoothest shit ever.

has calmed down a bit.
What about Zune pass songs you haven't purchased.

Does any one know why a phone would lock itself to flight mode? I have a HTC Mozart & it won't let me make any calls/texts etc. What is strange about it is, if I power down it works for about 10 minutes & then goes back into flight mode.
Cute Dragon Here
Member
Are you sure you didn't accidentally turn on flight mode? Maybe the cell antenna is broken.
EDIT: I just discovered that I can fast forward and rewind music and video by holding on the previous/next buttons.

Nah, the slider won't stay off(& it now thinks it is the 29th of September, stupid fucking phone), I don't really want to factory reset it but I think it might be my only option.

Must try the Lumia in my hands. Most review say its heavy.
I just put 200 grams (I know lumia is 185) of rice in a plastic bag and hold it in my hands. It's actually not that heavy. And a phone is more comfortable to hold.

I tried the Lumia 920 earlier today. It's pretty heavy and bulky feeling. My hands aren't that big though so there's that. They aren't SMALL, just not big. Not sure why it's like that to begin with. Anyway it's pretty fast. What else is there to say? It's a windows phone. Just like the old ones, but faster. I like the materials it's made out of, dat polycarbonate.
edit: I read my post, I make it sound bigger than it is, it's not THAT big, it just FEELS kind of big. It's hard to explain.

Is it uncomfortable heavy, or just heavy for a phone?
-Pyromaniac-

I edited my post. It's really not THAT big it just seems like it for some reason. Maybe it's just the shape of it. Has this heavy-ish/bulky-ish feeling.
It's not BAD though, but it's a thing. Once again, not the biggest hands here. It's thick though. Noticeably so. Maybe that's what makes it seem bigger than it is.

I don't know we never had that option here in the UK, we never got the 10 free songs (you know being in Europe we get screwed yaday yada yada) but the free offer songs I had downloaded appeared so I guess they tally as a purchase as you own them.
guessing you don't have an xbox/win8 PC to see if they appear in my music?
I'm going to pre-order the phone from Amazon.com when it comes up. I currently have Verizon but will be switching to AT&T. If I pre-order the phone from Amazon can I keep my same phone number I have now? How does something like that work? Will I keep my current phone going until I get the Lumia in the mail and then activate the Lumia through a phone number? I've never changed carriers with a phone I ordered over the internet before.
This pumps me up about the 8x.
