Seeing your Zune HD breaks my heart...
Guys, something is missing.
You're a man of wealth and taste.
On twitter Tom Warren said that only the Canadian one on Rodgers is. It's the same model given away at BUILD.
Games get pulled for a bunch of reasons. If you need to re-install either of those go to your purchase history, you can find them there still.
Probably because Microsoft found out that its not compatible.
Ten steps forward in so many ways. Ten steps back in the sync app.

Not even syncing stuff to my Nokia N75 in 2008 was this bad.

has calmed down a bit.
eggman says he bought his cyan phone in a store, not online. That just makes me mad that I didn't go to the at&t store today.
Yeah, I knew they had them at the MS stores but not at ATT.
So is it up to the developer to make it compatible?
When I brought mine into a ATT store today for them to force the activation the guy looked at my Cyan like it was a unicorn.
I think MS went through most apps and tested compatibility with WP8. Apps that didn't make the cut aren't shown.
With WP7/8, you can have as many email accounts with live tiles as you want ... or make some of them unified ... or any combination there of.
When you first set up your account (using your Xbox email), it will default a live tile on your homescreen for it. However you can add more email accounts and make live tiles for them ... or unify the inboxes. Whatever you want.
If you don't use your Xbox email address, simply unpin the live tile it defaulted. Remember - unpining tiles from the homescreen is not deleting them ... you don't have to worry about that. You deleted from the applications list (to the right of the homescreen). Think of your homescreen like a desktop that only supports shortcuts. Deleting the shortcuts does not delete the underlying app.
Are you sure you set your car to autoplay when you paired the 920? Remember, this is a new device as far as your car is concerned. It likely defaults to not autoplay in the car settings for new devices.
When you say not playing at native res, do you mean the game is stretched to fill the screen ... or do you simply mean it's running letterboxed?
IIRC, it's a setting on the friends Facebook accounts. MS it treated as a 3rd party app. I think it's possible these friends have the 3rd party app optioned turned off?

No one cares about HTC. Seriously, no one.
If the Samsung ATIV S comes to Verizon, that will be all for HTC.
No, it's filling the screen and isn't skewed in any way, but it's running in lower resolution and isn't sharp, it's a bit blurry - see the screenshot posted at full size. Obviously more noticeable on PC but it's fairly obvious on phone as well.

Get one that delivers 2A, they're usually made for ipads.
Nokia's charger delivers 1.3A, so its good. And no, it won't damage ir because the device is the one that decides how much current it draws.
Well that's pretty lame.
That said, I expect we'll get an update. Nokia footed the bill for time-exclusivity on the Rovio franchise ... so it would be pretty laughable if it didn't run optimally on their flagship phone

Yup. If you live in NY I can send you the phone number, I think they still have a few.
lolwat
No, but I think some of the others were (and when I say timed-exclusive I'm referring to on Windows Phone).
I'm just pointing out they have a working relationship.
I meant Nokia exclusive as in among the Windows Phones. You can close your gaping mouth already.
They just need to release a color for each of the WP8 accents then we can call it a day and release WP9.
Guys, something is missing.
Beautiful
Yeah, everything is fullscreen. There aren't any funky scaling issues like in iOS. Speaking of games, whatever happened to free trials? I wanted to try Cut the Rope on my Focus and it was Buy or Share. Bullshit!
e: I guess that I should say the iPhone 5 not iOS specifically.
Microsoft probably scaled back their trial ambitions to satisfy developers coming from the other platforms. They're only on the persuasion model now.

I wonder who would be making the new Windows Phone thread. Hmm... Maybe I could get a hand on it...

Olive or a dark emerald please...
My dreams will never be realized in time for when I get one "*^*"
The hell, it was one of the best features of the marketplace. No one willingly will make a demo out of the goodness of their heart, It has to be forced.

brot. It would be a repentance OP.

If that's the thing holding us back from the developers, so be it.
It was only a requirement for games with the Xbox Live branding.

That new Windows Phone app connector is shit. I mean it's just plain shit. I can't believe Microsoft release this as an actual Windows Phone sync app. I understand they want the phone to be stand alone device but goddam is this is not the worst sync app ever.
I missed my Wi-Fi sync too. So what the hell has Zune team been doing for the past two years? Didn't they send out tweet asking people what they want for Zune? I know the whole division got folded into Windows Phone but the best they can do is this piece of shits sync software? It's more like file drop box...
Another gripe, the new Note you can't pin the individual Notebook and can only pin individual page. WTF.
Oh and I wan my Dodonpachi and Crimson Dragon ... only two games I really play on my phone.
Phone is great but man software for it blow.

You're forgetting every reviewer moaned they had to use Zune as it wasn't as good as iTunes and they just wanted to drag and drop their stuff like Android so MS thought fuck it

Still...
Is it still an option for developers to do though, as it would suck to have to force developers to submit twice for a "LITE" and "FULL" Version of the app. I'm also assuming its mandatory for XBL games though...right?
They only submit once and they decide whether to put limits on their app for a trial version. You don't submit twice like Android or iOS.
Speaking of which, I wonder how many apps in those two OS app counts are because of trial and full versions being counted twice.
Well, screw app counting.

Don't you just drag/drop the video from MyVideos into the sync application... or does iTunes use a type of DRM that stops that? Because in that case he would have to find some way to strip the DRM
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
Yep, iTunes has DRM on their movies. Other than the free movies you get with blu ray, I would never own an iTunes movie. For the same or less, you can buy a DVD and rip it.

He would have to strip the DRM. There should be plenty of software on the net to do that.

If they just want the sync software to be just a dumb dropbox that's fine, the music / podcast/ photo on the phone must have better management. I don't even know how to put album art because while it's showing up fine on Zune, some are just gone on Windows Phone (but show up in Xbox Music App on my Windows 8 laptop app).
Let hope they get both Windows Phone and that horrible Music App up to speed soon.

Am I the only person that likes Zune?
It chases moved and renamed files. It can downconvert when I want to save space on my phone. It copies when it doesn't need to downcovert. It doesn't give me any fuss when it comes to pairing. It makes music management a cinch.

Promoting the web page version that works on IE10.

I don't know, but if you view the store with a WP7 device, anything WP8 only won't show up on the lists.
*looking forward to ports of Angry Birds Space and Angry Birds Star Wars within weeks, wonder whether Nokia's clout and exclusive permissions has anything to do with it*
