300MB is $20, which is the lowest plan.
You do make a good point about the 3GB vs 5GB plan though. I do think the 5GB includes free wireless tether however.
All of the new plans include tethering

Why can't we just have a windows 8 thread? we've managed with one for WP7 with at least 11 handsets Windows 8 has what 5 so far?
Yeah, this probably a better idea. The Lumia thread is off and running already however. We do need to combat Android with all of their threads though.

except they do have things to discuss with all the custom roms for each handset, the WP differentiate with a few apps which tbh could be dealt with in a windows thread.
Yeah. We do need a new WP thread.
That's for shared plans. For individual, only 5GB and above have the tether.
At least the other ones aren't stuck here in community where people won't see this thread, there is that bonus.

Samsung S3 vs Nokia Lumia 920?
I heard Nokia has a better camera, any other big positives? Which one is faster?
I'm a light user, although I do like customising the display.

Making a complete list for comparing these two is a pretty big undertaking, they're both rather different and have their advantages.
GS3 is the safe bet, with Android and everything that comes with it. I think there's a reason why it's among the best-selling phones, although I personally can't stand the design. It also has a huge screen and is pretty light and slim.
The 900 has several nice features, like one of the best, if not the best screen on the market (faster refresh rate, better sunlight readability, higher PPI than Retina etc., works with gloves), a great camera, wireless charging, Office, all that jazz. And of course WP8, the most beautiful UI ;-)
I don't know which is "faster", but all WP phones are incredibly smooth.

Certainly won't dump on the S3 since I don't have any experience with it, but I'd say, objectively, the 920 has:
-Best low light performance of any smartphone camera
-Best stabilize camera video
-Rich audio recording
-Fastest phone refresh rate
-One of the highest screen DPI
-Super-sensitive touchscreen (works with gloves)
All Windows Phones are going to be "smooth", as the OS is optimized to run at 60 fps, but 920 is supposedly buttery.

Again, can't speak for GS3, but 920 has gotten mixed (unscientific) reports in reviews. Some say it lasts less than a day with heavy use, another review said it lasted two full days with moderate/low use.

Windows Phone |OT3| Not Android
So I stopped by my ATT store today because I saw the news of the release date. I talked to the guy there and he couldn't even promise me that they would have _ANY_ 920's there on Friday. He also knew nothing of a pre-order. Nobody at the store did.
So I might be SOL come Friday as far as getting one. Does anyone here know how the online pre-order works? Can I pre-order online and get it shipped to my house? or do I pick it up at a store? I really want to have the device in my hand come Friday...with a charge plate.

Someone in the HTC 8X topic I created is asking for a pic of the grey 8X. Can someone link me to it again so I can post it there? Can't seem to find one online or in this topic.
Thanks.
Love the topic title. :lol

"TechThirsty's Aiswarya Gopan gave the Galaxy S3 the advantage for its quad core processor compared to the Lumia 920's dual core. In addition, the better battery and bigger screen size gave the Samsung device another couple highlights."
So it seems S3 has better battery.
What difference does quad core make, is it faster? Or can just do more tasks at once?

Hmm, that's not really a fair comparison, considering that article came out before the 920 was even released.
Quad core basically means faster, yes, but again, you have to consider the OS. The Android OS is "bigger" and more taxing than WP. Even single core WP7 devices were very smooth.
It might be best for you to just go try them out and see which you like more.
Yes. The Verge/Josh said (in a podcast, I believe) that he couldn't copy/paste from e-mail. I think he was using a Lumia 900?

Oops, DP.
You can also us FB messaging since day one. But some reviewers from major sites (The Verge, in this case), are just discovering all that amazing stuff.

has calmed down a bit.
I think Topolsky stated that during his Lumia 900 review.

The Odyssey is a cheaper phone. More like the 820 or 8S.

Ok, I'll try that in the phone shops.
I want to know this as well.
My P4U drama continues..
I got another phone call this evening asking about the upgrade to my phone. We went through the usual questions and answers, then the chap said this
'If you upgrade your O2 contract now i can give you a black Nokia Lumia 920 with a free charge pad. 24 months, 600 texts and 600 minutes minimum. It can be posted out this evening and you'll have it for the weekend.'
Id set my heart in the yellow one but having the phone for the weekend was just too much so i caved..
'Ill have it!!!!'
'Good choice.. I'll sort it out for you. Just got to put you on hold for a minute'
I could just feel the weighty mass in my hands as he was pushing his buttons on the other end of the phone.
'Mr G@@@@@@@t. I have some news. You can have your lumia 920 by the weekend if you start a new contract wit EE. I've been informed that its going to be on EE exclusively for the foreseeable future so it would be a good idea to change now if you really want the phone!! If not and you want to change at a later date just call us back.. Shall i proceed with the order?'
That was it.. With a heavy heart (heavier than even the lumia 920) i declined his offer and placed the phone back in the receiver..
This really is a complete P4U joke. How many more times are they going to call me only to have me crying by the be of the conversation?

Thanks for the info.
Angry Birds Space is launching on Friday for .99. Just in time for all of us American 920 people.
Is it worth the 99 added pennies?
I think so.

The biggest Android phone thread is currently the Samsung Galaxy S III thread, which isn't a phone most people would associate with custom ROMs. And the biggest phone thread period on GAF is the iPhone 5 thread, a phone which will never have a custom ROM. Believe it not, when a phone is big, there's lots to talk about besides custom ROMs.
I don't even inhabit the GSIII or iP5 threads, I just see them on the front page of OT all the time.
I actually haven't seen the iPhone 5 thread on the front page much recently.
Currently an iPhone 4 user (since July 2010), but now considering getting the Lumia 920.
My main concern is the app selection (U.S.) as well as the maps functionality for Windows phones, so I was just curious to get some impressions. I only really use a few "major" apps on a daily basis (Pandora, Netflix, etc.).
