I'm so hyped about the 928. Why? Why must I spend this money on it.

 

[Doffen]

Hos is Itsdagram working for you?

It works fine actually. Had a few connection issues yesterday, but nothing more. There's still a few features missing, but I hope that will be sorted out with the re-release.

 

[brotkasten]

I would definitely get the white 928.

edit: also check out the cinemagraph at the top of this page. Pretty awesome.

So.. The rumors are that they will release a thinner, lighter, metallic version of the 920 tomorrow?

 

[bedlamite]

Will magenta make its grand return?

The webcast for the lumia event should be here. Pretty damn early for me so I won't be watching it live.

The app you've all been waiting for!

The official GoPro app: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/gopro/bca90c60-10c7-4009-b8b0-13df4ebcf9da

Facebook beta got an update. Now includes a search bar when you swipe from the left side.

Cross post from the lumia thread:

Lumia 925: Whats the Nokia SmartCam?

guessing they're referring to the smart features that use multiple photos to create a perfect one like best face and object removal.

Lumias already have that. It will be a pro lens.

Speaking of which, notifications work for anyone with the beta app? They certainly don't work for me.

It has been sporadic for me.

 

[hadareud]

They work just as well as they do in the last version.

Not at all.

Not really, seems worse than the old app, but sometimes it works.

or they could be rebranding...

It's a write-off Jerry!

Anyone making a thread for the event?

Anyone doing the obligatory "I wish whatever they show off runs Android" post?

I think it should be made clear in the OP that posts like that aren't welcome. I'm quite sick of them. People wish beautiful WP devices ran Android without even knowing WP or having seen it. The hardware compliments the OS and the OS the hardware. Android will ruin that balance. I can't even imagine how disconnected the Lumia 800 would look if it ran Android.

 

[NeOak]

Lumia 800 and Android?

Maybe something like the N9 with Android?

 

[Doffen]

Anyone making a thread for the event?

You are.

 

[MCD]

Nokia Nokia Nokia

Dis MS sell WP OS to Nokia? Or other OEMs gave up?

KILL IT WITH FIRE

 

[HollovVpo1nt]

I can't.

Ugh.

 

[derFeef]

Dont quote it guys, it's like with Beetlejuice.

This would be the result of a Lumia Android phone:

"The Lumia 928 is much thicker than the iPhone 5." Under that picture is really amusing.
MUCH THICKER.

Why are they still using Microsofts old logo :\

Completely agree, but sadly most people will ignore the warning

I know right.

 

[Funky Papa]

:lol at this headline

And people wonder why I say that Business Insider is shit.

 

[killer rin]

I know right.

I love how that when everyone makes that comparison, they always take the picture at such an obscene angle that its impossible to see the difference.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

2.1mm thicker? No sale.

Spoiler

lol

If the Lumia 928 is too plasticky, what is the Galaxy S3/4?

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Surprised the headline isn't:

"She's dead, wrapped in plastic.."

 

[Opus Angelorum]

If the Lumia 928 is too plasticky, what is the Galaxy S3/4?

Now is the plastic horrible? Is it a deal breaker? Is the Galaxy S4 a total dud because there's no metal on the body?
Nope.

There are some benefits to owning a plastic phone over a metal one, and some will find the plastic construction a good thing, not a drawback. The Galaxy S4 won't scratch as easily as metal phones, and the plastic makes the phone feel slim and lightweight.

.

 

[derFeef]

Holy shit is the guy on drugs? How can you write that with a straight face.
I'm usually not getting mad over reviews, but phew...

 

[Milchjon]

Hahaha

 

[kharma45]

lol hating on the small guy.

 

[Doffen]

"So amazing", "Innovative", "Sexy", "Plastic fantastic"...

 

[Milchjon]

"So amazing", "Innovative", "Sexy", "Plastic fantastic"...

I don't think anyone ever said that...

Are there even any enthusiastic reviews of the S4, or is it all "If you own a S3, you probably won't need to upgrade, but it's still maybe the best Android device out there"?

 

[hwalker84]

Anyone making a thread for the event?

No. No point.

 

[The Faceless Master]

Popular.

I don't know where you've been, but the GS4 has been CRUCIFIED ACROSS ALL TECH MEDIA for DARING TO USE PLASTIC while the HTC One has been pimped as the TRUE LORD AND SAVIOR and ONE TRUE iPhone KILLER.

.

sounds like the 'thick and heavy' part isn't there in the GS4...

 

[Razdek]

Glad to hear it my mom's old windows phone finally died on her which was a radar and I was shopping for an inexpensive replacement for her and debating on this one since she enjoyed windows so much

Yes I definitely recommend it, I just ordered a yellow and cyan back case for her on eBay since they don't have them at the store yet. I decided not to get one for myself and just wanted play with hers Lol.

 

[Izuna]

Hmm, tomorrow huh?

I hope they just announce the Catwalk and the EOS was just a small rumour that got popular due to people simply wanting it so much.

If EOS gets announced I'm going to be biting if it looks good. Catwalk has nothing that interests me. Maybe OLED.

I'm hoping I don't get excited. These MS products are the only thing making holes in my pockets. I managed to dodge the Surface (or rather, MS did that for me).

Just ordered a replacement back-cover (RED/glossy/=(/) for the 920. Was cheap, and it increases the value of my device by quite a bit. Shame there's no option for Cyan, but what can you do?

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Wrong thread

 

[Troll]

Having four fingers must suck.

 

[mickcenary]

Lumia 928 aesthetically destroys the 920. Love dat flush bezel.
