That reminds me, our YouTube app still sucks.
And it will keep sucking till someone from MS stop playing dirty games with Google and play nice.
I guess they will do it sometime in the future but right now their priority is hacking their way around it and the next update will further that by making account creation within the app itself possible.

the 3 devices i listed and the 620 all are around 4" screened 800x480 Snapdragon S4 powered handsets.

has calmed down a bit.
That's true, but I was more focused on the n4 and your comment about it starting at $300. For me, 8gb without SD, that's not a viable option. I feel claustrophobic with the Nexus One, I'd never recommend it. I think the poster who you originally responded to would've appreciated the info though.

wait for the Blu Life One later this month?
also, GS3 unlocked seems to be going for around $450 on Amazon and ebay nowadays..
Nope.
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
That's why the $350 n4 is a good deal. At $450 you can get a 920 and a bunch of other phones.
It's good but I prefer the more instant notifications of the official app myself.

i dunno man, i have a 64GB SDXC in my phone and don't see how peeps can say '8GB isnt enough but 16GB is'... either go all cloud or not...

I scanned the QR code and it worked, couldn't get it by searching

That's the problem, going cloud only means media, but my biggest problem with 8gb phones is that apps are getting bigger, and games are already huge. With 16gb, I can store my documents and media on the cloud and still have reasonable space for apps, 8gb is just suffocating for apps and games. I just checked my 920 storage and I already have 7.9gb worth of apps/games and I already delete demos after I play them, and apps and games that I don't use.
And this is on Windows Phone which, you will recall, has no apps and games.

I found 32gb on my 920 to be just right.
Microsoft also launch new Calendar, finally.

Finally!!! Dumping google calendar this week. Just Gmail left, don't see that I'll be dropping that anytime soon.

Still waiting for my update
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
Unfortunately, the core apps are still tied to OS updates. I hoped they had learned from Google and allowed the browser, calendar, mail, messaging, and people hub to get updated independently, but nope. :'(
I've been happy with the update situation so far, I've gotten two good ones, portico and the update last week. That said, it looks like no updates for first party apps until blue, which will likely be just under a year from now.
I remember reading IE was supposed to be removed from the Core OS. They all need to be.
Thanks. I was confused as I had the old one installed and thought I could update it but it's gone from the store. Was called viber messenger.
IE is fine because the IE team on the desktop side are updating it annually it seems (IE111 on Windows Blue) so one would assume that the IE mobile will be updated along with it.
But the Music/Video/Games/Calendar apps need to be removed from the OS just like on Windows 8.
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
What am I reading here?

recalibration of the battery, it's a standard trick on android, the OS records stats on battery usage, Neoak seems to be implying the FW pudate wiped his stats and it's taken a while to recalibrate, as he'd been seeing a drop in battery performance if I remember correctly
I thought you meant they finally updated the Outlook.com calendar... come on Microsoft, we've been waiting since August! *shakes fist*
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
That's the one, its rolling out this week.
Still maintain for keeping track of a busy feed, Twabbit is tops.
Because it's beautiful
If all I cared about is how well notifications were done, I'd go with a BlackBerry.

Have you guys seen the Wendy's ads where they're using 920s? Its so weird and unobtrusive that it makes me wonder what the real reason they're there is. Mindshare? Probably not, as you wouldn't notice it unless you owned a 920. Just something weird I noticed
Nope. Lovespellsbynoellwinters.com I get.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
No but I noticed there was a Windows phone in the first episode of Orphan Black. It wasn't obvious product placement because they never showed the brand name, it was just the incoming call screen. If you didn't know the OS you probably wouldn't have known what it was. I'm pretty sure it was a black 920 since they showed a Nokia feature phone in other segments.
