install the US keyboard and make it the default
But "Windows Phone |OT3| I wish it ran Android" sounds so good.
shame windows phone is the software, that subheading would work for a handset OT not the OS OT

Watch your back, bada!!
Edit: front, my brother is leaning towards the 8X over the iPhone 5 for his upgrade, are there any build quality issues or big problems/bugs he should be aware of?

Well I dunno the full link, but you cab make any email address your LIVE ID on (I think) passport.net
Including Gmail, though I would suggest making a new @outlook account.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
That many mofos were still buying Symbian phones in 2012? WTF were they thinking? LOL
PS: Holy jeebus Android gained 20 percentage points in just one year.

So you guys really want "Windows Phone 8 |OT|" instead of "Windows Phone |OT3|"?

*raises hand if it's two years ago*
I will never make that mistake again. I'd rather call it a feature phone platform TBH.
I prefer Windows Phone |OT3| if only because of consistency with the Android OT and not leaving out 7.x.
Break it out fresh with each number upgrade (7 to 8). OT2, OT3 etc. for every .5 jump (7 to 7.5)

I don't care to be honest, but it would be nice to not be stuck in purgatory with all the new people coming in. Also I am tired of checking both threads ....
I am sure the 5 peoples that have Windows Phone 7 won't mind checking in the new thread....

I have it! Oh my goodness, i finally have it.
Being one of this 5 I feel highly offended!!!
In all seriousness i'd prefer a new Windows Phone 8 thread..
it'll keep you WP8 riff-raff out!

Heh. I like yours as well. Why note combine them. "Windows Phone |OT3| Apollo, we have a problem. I wish it ran Android."
If we absolutely have to go snarky, the simple "I wish it ran Android" sounds better to me. Especially since Apollo is not something others will know about.

The even shittier podcast support in WP8 is frustrating.

I've seen complaints of light leakage from the screen edge/usb port but I've not experienced it, there seems to be a reboot bug also, but that seems to be affecting the 920s also so could be an OS issue rather than OEM issue.

Am I the only person that prefers a flat, alphabetical order in his favourites? I find folders to be... ew.
I actually like chronological the best.

I thought the light leakage dude later mentioned that he had dropped the phone?

I don't know, but for some reason I prefer alphabetical sort because I know where the listing will be by thinking of what the site's name starts with.

i can't connect to my microsoft account, any idea why? i can sign in on hotmail.com, my xbox and it's being used by my old phone but it says:
I wasn't able to sign in with my Lumia 920 until the phone had activated and the SIM Invalid message went away. Is yours already activated?

Im so full of rage right now. Im giving them until 3pm, then I'm leaving work early and heading into the nearest post office to yell at them until someone tells me where my fucking phone is. Been "out for delivery" for 4 hours, I live in a tiny frickin island!

Bummer.
I just wish it allowed me to move my favorites up or down on that list.
I have faith you'll be able to snag one man.
Got my 920 at the second store I called. Love it so far, even though it is black
The Rogers I went to was pretty good. They had Windows ads up, display models and the clerk used a 710 as work phone. She said most of the staff was going to be getting an 8X.
Edit: :lol funny that you posted just before me.

Congrats! Pretty soon I'll be the only one left behind.
Although I guess there's always brotkasten.

Toyed around a little today with several WP8 devices.
Lumia 820: Suprised that I liked it that much in person. I feel that the very basic formfactor and relatively small bezel work well for a mid-range phone a little too expensive though . Screen looked great, even though the resolution could be better.
Lumia 920: Hot device. Feels fantastic in your hands, like a great quality product. Dont know where the OMG HEAVY stuff comes from. Screen felt a little too big for me, since I am only used to using my 4" Omnia 7, so that would need some readjusting but the resolution is fantastic and the curved glass makes it look a lot better than 900. Dislike the huge bezel at the bottom though.
HTC 8x: Feels much much slimmer than 920, probably because of the curved back. The phone did feel a little cheaper, but it still is one of the best looking devices out there atm.
This was the first time I ever used Windows Phone 8 and the fake profiles in demo units work great, felt very natural moving around in the OS and I did not mind the new start screen at all, as I thought I would.

Nice.
Which store? Also did you buy outright? How much?
I went to McKnight and 52nd, it was the last one they had. It was an early upgrade (3 year contract). Other stores should be getting them today.
So after a few days with my new Lumia 800 I'm committed to WP7.x until next year. I also went back to hold the 920 again and tbh, it's really not too large at all. It may be the largest phone you ever pick up, but my gosh is the screen beautiful.
The curved feel of the Nokia phones is something you'll get used to quickly and not want to change. My GF's 4S for example is uncomfortable now, because I like to grip the phone fully instead of have it flat on my palm.
