That's what I'm worried about. What are the implications of that?

If the phone thinks its a new pc it'll create a new images/video folder and sync to that, nothing will be deleted from the phone, Zune pass music is linked to the account not the phone though I'm not sure how they manage devices.

But generally you're good to go.

Update: I got a new Lumia 900.

I went to the store and the ATT Rep dialed the warranty exchange department and handed me the headset. I was waiting on the phone for so long (30 mins) the rep at the store said hang up we'll give you a brand new one.

Now MS needs a backup and restore option so bad.

Reinstaller is handy for getting your apps back.

Yeah I'm aware of that app and I'm using it as we speak it still doesn't bring back all my game saves, OS settings, etc. That is what I'm referring to when I say MS needs to develop proper backup and restore features.

i wouldn't mind have a proper cloud backup every now and then. even if it replaces the backup before it.

Is there a Skydrive api that developers can tap into? If your save data went to Skydrive I wouldn't mind using Reinstaller. Anyway luckily I saved my home screen and app list in skydrive + reinstaller and now i'm all set.

I have a super annoying problem with visual voicemail that requires a hard reset to fix and the lack of true backup has kept me from doing the reset. I'm hoping the tango update we will get later this week/month fixes the issue.

Tango this week would be AWESOME! I'm not going to get my hopes up though.

Yep. The world gets to see and appreciate Apollo, early adopters get Tango.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Can't wait till Wednesday just being about Tango and Tango development.

That's t-mobile though. At&t seems to not give a flying funk.

That's t-mobile though. At&t seems to not give a flying funk.

AT&T is their premier carrier. As such, they're taking extra care and time, making sure everything works and won't break your phone and their network. Unlike those other peasant mobile carriers who don't care and just push everything out, regardless of the quality. That's why some things at AT&T take a bit longer, but it's worth it.

 

[VanMardigan]

Whats the issue?

Keeps asking me to enter my visual voicemail password every single time I open the phone app, but I dont have a "supported device" so I'm not supposed to have that feature. After many hours on the phone with them, they just told me to reset the entire thing. They rather me lose all my texts and game saves than enable visual voicemail for me.

Why is Thurrott such a hater?

What, exactly, is Microsoft going to announce today in Los Angeles?

Who cares?

Honestly, whatever Microsoft announces, it’s not going to change anything.

His job is to write about Microsoft, it's different

 

[VanMardigan]

Lol, he sounds so defeated. He throws hissy fits whenever he doesn't have the scoop, and he won't be there to cover it, so of course he would want to downplay it. He is like the exact opposite of an apple blogger.

 

[Vanillalite]

Oh god the rage for later is palpable already in the air with so many people saying MS over hyped and under delivered despite it being basically the media spinning things out of control and a fair share of those people hating everything MS does anyways. LOL

Tonight should be glorious in that regard! LOL

 

[MCD]

MS new plumber is amazing.

Thurrott's coming to grips with years of meh. He's now a bitter man.

Something he does mention, the "Microsoft Signature". I bought a laptop last year from a MS store and the MS signature was pretty nice. It doesn't have any of the OEM installed bloatware/trash on it.

Uuuh, Nokia just posted this on their facebook page:



So they are a part of a possible Monday announcement, and its...map centric?

?

 

[Complex Shadow]

i swear as soon as its 3:31 (6:31 here) i am expecting all out "MS HAS FAILED AGAIN LOLOLOL"

Nokia is announcing something about the PureView 808.

[Milchjon]

Fuck me, now they actually got me hyped. I'm a failure :-(

 

[frontieruk]

How long till disappointment?

 

[catmincer]

YAY A TABLET!

 

[brotkasten]

For you guys

Watch out, we got ...

 

[Good Job Bob]

Is it just me or does the new Windows logo look really odd on hardware?

 

[MCD]

MS delivered.

Watch Thurrott go total tsun tsun.

 

[Frost_Ace]

Now I'm hopeful for the apollo event.

 

[Milchjon]

Brot, did you feel a slight jolt? Some feeling of hype and happiness cutting through your cynism?

Is it just me or does the new Windows logo look really odd on hardware?

It does. But everything else looks great. I want the blue one to go with my cyan Lumia.

 

[MCD]

See ya guys on Apollo day.

Gonna be SWEET.

 

[Milchjon]

Dunno whether I am more excited about Surface or the fact that MS actually delivered.

They do need to find a way to make it look thinner, though. I mean the RT version is thinner than the 3rd gen iPad, the Pro version is about as thick as the 1st one, yet they always look chunkier.

 

[kharma45]

Apollo here we come

 

[MCD]

Joe Belfiore must deliver after this or pack up and go home.

 

[Complex Shadow]

man the salt in that thread is amazing. surprise no one had a heart attack due to high blood pressure yet. but man, once ballmer showed windows RT i was like "fuck what a waste" then windows full, and i lost my shit. can't wait to see what apollo brings. really sad i didn't find out the price though.

 

[VanMardigan]

MS is on a roll, now on to Apollo.

My only problem is that it'll be years until the full Win8 Intel tablets are price-competitive with Arm-based ones. I can't bring myself to buy the WinRT version, no matter how hard I try. Maybe for my wife....

 

[Steelyuhas]

Can't wait for Apollo on Wednesday.

Damn Surface looks impressive.

 

[Milchjon]

I know I'm not too well versed when it comes to smartphone prices, but $699 for an unlocked 808 PureView sounds pretty expensive to me. :-/

It's a little on the high side now, but it does have an incredible camera.

I'm surprised they didn't splurge for the pentaband at that price though.
