Haha, yeah, I'm kinda wondering if I'd have to change my habit of just putting my phone in my pocket. The 920 probably won't fit in my hipster pants :-D
Yup same here. It's got the hardware that's for sure. Now real question is will the ecosystem jive with my life.
I had posted a list of my most used apps before in this tread to see how WP compares. I'll post an updated list and see how things turn out around my upgrade time 2 months from now. I think a couple months in the mobile space is long enough for developers to get their shit together.
My fear is always the little things Id miss. It's not hyperbole to say iOS has an app for almost everything.
Good example is black Friday. Every year my friends go out to buy movies and games. iOS has a nice app where you can make lists of what youre going to buy and what stores have what deals...will WP8 have simple apps like these? I know it sounds silly, but its those little things that can add up.
I use OneNote for that, you could also use Evernote, that's crossplatform. In fact, I keep a OneNote grocery list that I shared to my girlfriend so we both can see anything that's been added to it. You could do the same thing with your friends.

Deja vu, anyone?
So I saw pictures of the WP8 home screen with black tiles. It looked so good. I couldn't find the option on my brother's 920. I'm confused, did they remove the option somewhere down the line or something? It looked so good.
Try the high contrast option, that might be what you were looking for.
I'm guessing it's somewhere in the accessability options.

My god this whole ordeal has felt like forever... It's the first week of November and still no news of when I'll be able to purchase an unlocked CYAN Lumia 920 on the Rogers network.
I'ts like ordering pizza and not having it arrive within the 30 minutes, you continue waiting only for it to arrive 2 hours in... At that point I would be fed up and tired of waiting.

Hahahaha, back to the future!
Wait, accessibility options? Does turning it on do anything else beyond changing the theme on the home screen?
Finally someone has called Microsoft out on this bullshit! I just don't understand why Zune wasn't repackaged. Do you know how many casual users have no clue where their media is stored? Xbox Music sucks balls to manage your music as the Windows Phone App looks worse.
Yup:
And I don't think black is an accent color:
This is what you were referring to, right?
Yeah. I've finally decided to get the 8S after some thinking. I was now trying to decide on getting either the black/white one or the blue one. That picture looks so fucking good but if it does stuff beyond just being a theme, I dunno. I can't imagine any of the colored themes to look all that great with the black/white model.Yup:

Simply unbelievable. So I would have to manually delete podcasts after I listen to them? This is just so bad. One of the main reasons I left android, besides the UI and bugginess, was the lack of a competent desktop sync client.
And one of the reasons I wouldn't go back to iPhone, besides the stale interface, is iTunes. This is a slap in the face. How hard is it to re-skin Zune to say Xbox music? They did it on the Xbox!
Zune should've been reskinned as the Windows Phone Client. Remove all the other garbage out of it.
You can setup podcast subscriptions on the phone that keep them up to date without a pc (if you're in a supported region/US)
Are there any third party podcasting apps? On my iPhone I don't even bother with iTunes anymore. I thought MS was moving WP8 in that cloud syncing, no client direction too?
I use "PODCASTS!"
Recently discovered slapdash which has a win8 app too and keeps everything synced between them.
Bringcast and Podcasts! Seem to work fine too
Good luck on waiting for the cyan. That was my plan as well but who knows when Rogers is going to get more colors in so I'm thinking just going with the black or else the blue HTC 8X. It's been a botched up launch for sure.
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
I said it in the previous page, I prefer to have the desktop client handle my podcast subscriptions. I don't want to use my data on them, and my desktop has them all downloaded and ready for me when I get home. Also, I have video podcasts I subscribe to.
That's definitely the best solution in the US. It works great for me.
You can tell the phone to only download on wifi.
iPhone5, Note2, 8X and 920 image comparison.

Pretty close for the most part until you get to low light.

:lol, "Tech" sites.
I think video is going to be where the 920 really stands out.
So many jerky cell phone videos are online.
It will be later this month.

For half a heartbeat I thought about giving up TMobile and going with AT&T just for the Cyan Lumia 920 but then I was like naaaa

So it matches (and sometimes outperforms) the iPhone 5 in daylight. Then it destroys every other phone in low light.
This is a bad time to lack an upgrade.

Anyone know if the dev phone does have the correct frequencies for AT&T LTE?
From all accounts, you can just grab a 900 to get a general idea (though the 920 is curved better for your hand).
Thank MS.
The iTunes support is new.
Just do your podcast management on the phone itself.
It doesn't use your data if you don't want it to. It downloads them in the background over WiFi.
As long as the Calendar you added the the event to is also added to the Mail app in W8/RT then Yes
Same
Where are they actually? Gmail? Hotmail? Yahoo? Apple Mail?
1 and 2 - Don't see any reason why they shouldn't, providing you're using something like Google to sync your contacts.
3 - Google Contacts is what I've been using to move mine from phone to phone.

Let us know if that works for contacts. As far as the calendar goes I would assume so, but I'm not home to check for you.

One of the reasons why I refused to get an 8x for Verizon.
Hwalker, what do you mean as long as it's added to the mail app?
Right now I keep my contacts and calendar events stored just on iCloud. Troll, your solution sounds like it would work.
This would be a big feature for me. I love how when I add something to my phone, it shows up on everything with iCloud. I would want to add a contact or calendar event to the 920 and have it show up on my Yoga.

As long as the same account is in the RT app
Same as if you move to android if the contacts are in the cloud and the account is used yes
No idea
Maybe this? http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455
I believe by default contacts and calendar events are saved to your Microsoft account.
As long as the accounts are the same on both machines, you're golden.
As long as all your devices are synced to the same calendars (you can set up to use hotmail/outlook, google, etc) ... they'll all see the same data regardless of where you add the event from ... be it phone, computer, website, etc.
Yes, extremely nice. I never wanted a white phone, but I reserved one today after seeing it in person at phones4u.
thx, is that gloss or matte?
