has calmed down a bit.
How much do you think you'll get for it on eBay?

May be more than he paid for with the court ruling that HTC used Nokia exclusive part.

The 920 pleasured him more than his mistress. Although the sexy looks of the One might seem tempting, at the end of the day you just want to stay with the more durable, reliable and wiser 920.

If you get a chance to speak about it again mind asking her what apps she was looking for or was hoping to find? My friend always asks about apps and everytime I look at app store on iPad or Google I never can think of anything to recommend to her. The only thing that appeals to me really is the multimedia stuff and I know she doesn't want to purchase books or videos.
I got $610 for it. Paid $525
It's probably his album settings on Facebook.

So why did you guys have such a short honeymooon? I wasn't that impress with it after I played with demo unit at AT&T store. Buttons are terrible like the Titan. Screen is pretty but didn't care much for iPhone looks. I prefer the Lumia design. Only impressive thing for me are the speakers.
Check his Microsoft 'app' settings in Facebook, might need to open up the permissions.

It already exists. Its called the 920.
Stay strong and hold out until next gen!
Of course. HTC is pretty bad about supporting their devices.

The whining about the GS4 review score in the Android thread inspired me to do a Verge review score comparison.
Lumia 920
GS4
HTC First (Facebook Phone)
(The Lumia 920 and HTC First were both reviewed by the same person)

So that QWERTY phone fro a few days ago is the Asha 210.
I'm kinda fascinated by what a $70 dumbphone can do these days. Apart from the 2MP camera, I could probably do 70% of the things I need my phone for on that.

Yep, haven't read into it, so I can't tell you if it works or if you already have to have had Navifirm installed before (if you have, I still have it on my computer at home, let me know and I'll download the firmware for you tonight and upload it somewhere).

I read that too, it was downloading someone elses cache before they cleaned their's out - but I tried this and it still failed to connect alas.

is that Series 4.0 ?
They seriously used "Sheer number of features can be overwhelming" as a negative for the GS4?
I mean, I wouldn't be caught dead with a GS4, but that's simply hilarious. Verge reviews, despite how nice they are made, are trollathons across the board.
Yeah. There was a very short-lived rumor about it being a Lumia, which is why I mentioned it here.

iVerge strikes again!
Downloading the firmware for EE now (yellow).
It's not the latest version, but the one before that (just the latest firmware update is missing, but you can just update that OTA later).
I'll share it in my skydrive with you (will take an hour or so).

I think Engadget explained it better, when they put it on their contra list:
"Several new features are impractical and half-baked"
OK, makes more sense. And 2 minutes into the video review, the only thing I can think of is:
"Holy shit, that's the most agressively bland-slash-ugly thing I've seen in quite some time".
You are an absolute legend.

No worries.
Download finished. Just waiting for the skydrive upload to be finished. I'll pm you the link.

Can I ask what drove you away? the One is one of four devices I'm looking at and would like to get a WP users perspective on it.

If you live in Europe and are looking for a cheap Windows Phone, you might want to check your online retailers or ebay for the Samsung ATIV S. It looks like Samsung sent the phone to die there and retailers are trying to get rid of it = cheap prices.

Do you have any links? You're from Germany right?

If you want a link from a German retailer, mindfactory.de has it for 289 EUR.
http://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/info/p830976/
Expansys.co.uk is selling it for £269.99.
http://www.expansys.com/samsung-ativ-s-16gb-grey-249196/
The only problem I have with the Ativ S is the lack of support. It will obviously get major OS updates, but other than that, Samsung is pretty much done with the device. XDA Developers doesn't even have a forum section for the phone.

Oh Verge.
Goddamn. The Lumia 800 is still 409 on that site, for comparison.
My contract is up tomorrow (Verizon) and I think I've talked myself into the Windows phone. I can get the HTX 8X today for $40 or wait for the Lumia 928 maybe next month, probably $199. I really don't want to wait (and money is an issue for the next month), but I guess I should. Someone tell me just to get the 8X before I change my mind!
Two concerns I have, podcasts and real-time navigation. But I think both are fine now, especially if I wait for the Nokia, correct?

Don't get the 8X. Wait for the Lumia. EOD.
It's cheaper than Lumia 820 here in Norway. About $400 off contract. It will without a doubt fall another $100 before the summer.
Yeah I would wait for bit more if you can. Navigation is solid with offline nav and for podcasts get Podcast Lounge.
Expression of Dissatisfaction or Electric Organ Discharge?
Either way, you're right. Ugh. Waiting.

What are the chances that the next flagship Lumia won't be a timed ATT exclusive?
AKA has Nokia/MS learned anything?

I'm pretty sure their ATT exclusivity has been pretty beneficial for them. ATT pushes the phone like crazy, and gave the phone a crazy subsidy. (iirc $99 at launch) So solely in business terms, it makes no sense to give it up. EOS is gonna be ATT exclusive, or else they wouldn't have bothered with a Lumia 928
Not too bad a price for an unlocked one. I've found the Lumia 920 for £275 on 3, if it was unlocked or O2 I'd consider it.
According to this, the Verizon 822 is actually the most used Windows Phone in the US.
You have to wonder if Nokia would have done even better had they put a flagship device on Verizon too.
