has calmed down a bit.
That's probably the red one with odd lighting.
You need a new phone, return it.
The Verge seems to disagree, or why else would they always use that combo for their reviews of Lumia devices?
Edit: Haha, just saw venne's post on the last page.
Unless you're my boss.
He's switching to AT&T for the Yellow 920 from Sprint
Goes to AT&T to start the process of switching carriers (He's at the store)
They say his credit check doesn't pass (LOL its like 800) and he needs to pay $1000 for a deposit
Calls the credit bureau they use.... All good
Sits their for an hour while they look into it
Finds out his name is flagged since he closed one during a contract 2 yrs ago gracefully (He paid the penalty)
The reason he closed it is because it was his wife's account who was tragically killed by a driver under the influence.
The department within AT&T that can remove that flag doesn't exist anymore
AT&T has to figure out within their system how to remove the flag as the access only existed within a department that's gone.
They have someone assigned to him who calls everyday saying they're trying to fix it
It's been a week with no progress.
Well, the phone isn't out yet so there's that.

It comes later and pictures of it are forbidden in this thread.
Any idea what colours MS will have at their pop-up stores? Can I walk into the Eaton Centre one here in Toronto, buy one off contract and simply pop in my Bell SIM card from my iPhone 3GS?
:lol. Sorry. I'm assuming some time in early 2013?

josh topolsky is still horrible. he always looks like a parody of something, I cant put my finger on it, but he always looks costumed.
Brown tiles on black. Magenta tiles on cyan. Likes the back of the Nexus 4.
And yet you're wondering about his sense of style?
boring...

Boring.
You couldn't know that the grey 920 is NSFW.

Early 2013 sounds good. Maybe a little bit sooner.
Here is an 18 minute long review of the Samsung ATIV S:

I really prefer the look of the 820 over the 920.

Thats lovely. I hate all that samsung and carrier bloat shit on my GSII that can't be taken off in the traditional manner

Looks pretty good.
Actually looks pretty good when it's moving =)
One small difference is actually the physical start button. It can be used to activate the device from lock.

God I love this ecosystem so much, what are the odds that WP8 will allow for some marketshare growth?
Depending by what you would consider "some" growth to be, pretty low. What do you like about the ecosystem so much?
Whether he realizes it or not, he means "I love the potential of the ecosystem so much."
realism hurts
The odds of the amount of apps growing for WP8 can be either pretty high or pretty low depending on how much you believe people will actually dev Metro for Windows 8.
The odds of WP8 marketshare growing is the same but less chance of growing because aside from Nokia having a mess of a launch with carrier exclusivity, the only real choice other people have is HTC as Samsung is nowhere to be found. So it's a pretty crappy situation.
All in all, you need to wait another 6-12 months to truly know, and well, that's always a shitty bet as a consumer if that's all you're waiting for.

By the way guys, this game is very nice as a pick up and play game, and the production values are surprisingly high. Get it.
And... Final Fantasy is on Windows Phone? I must have been missing quite a bit.

Nice!
You bitch! How much?
WHAT!?
I traded for my iPhone 5. Any questions?
3g? 4g?
Put some pics up that you took with it.
I get on average 8Mbps down. I think it's getting 4G.
Here are the first two pics I took with it. Tomorrow I will try to take some better ones.

If they had given the GSIII this design, it would've been a much nicer phone.
I got the blue. It looks really great.
Feels fantastic to hold too, the tapered edges make it feel so slim.

The Microsoft ecosystem, Zune Pass, Xbox 360, Windows 8, Windows Phone 7.
But my main concern was about Windows Phone 8's success. Say if Windows 8 is successful would some of that buzz shift to Windows Phone 8 and make that successful causing marketshare growth?

basically windows 8 will survive, like vista survived into windows 7, it's WinRT that's the concern if devs start making apps as they'll be able to scale them to tablets/phones/consoles (not sure 360 is RT compatible but 720 will be sure as hell) ignoring it will be very hard indeed.
