Eh, it was decent until this whole talk about cars. It's not even informative or anything and could have been summed up in like 2 minutes.That BlackBerry event is amazing, guys.
Mercedes: "All of the cars we are bringing to market now are connected and have the ability to be 'always on.'"
What an outrage. Who's going to make a thread on the gaming side about this shit?

Yes, I know you were probably sarcastic in the first place.
It's not over yet. I expect a good "one more thing" moment.
It was announced today that Nokia will be bringing “Amber”, a software update package that will coincide with Microsoft’s GDR2 update later this summer. We got a quick look at some of the new camera functions, which will launch on the Lumia 925 and then come to all Windows Phone 8 Lumias via an over-the-air update.
So what can we expect? FM Radio, up to 3200 ISO support, less noise, enhanced color profile, image quality improvements and more. One of those new features is of course the Smart Camera app that you see demoed here in our video. Indeed, we’re quite excited for this feature to come.

Can't wait for you guys to be as disappointed by the podcast support as we are. Stick to Podcast Lounge
At least the in-built stuff can download in the background. Right?
Yeah, when it feels like it. Sometimes it takes a while for new stuff to show up also.
Maybe they will have improved things along with the addition of international support
Wait, wasn't the 928 supposed to have a crazy high megapixel camera? That just looks like another repackaged 920.
Did you miss the 928?
I forgot to upload the 925 card I made last night for the OT, before I left for work. I'll post it later.

At least Rim isn't incompetent.
Windows Phone left in the dust again. Thanks for nothing, Joe.
928 is glossy white.
I did miss this--adding, thanks.
Speaking of updates. As I mentioned earlier, the Lumia 925 comes with the latest update to the Windows Phone 8 operating system that includes a small number of improvements and upgrades. (Its similar in size to the one we delivered earlier this year, which brought new Wi-Fi and messaging improvements like the ability to text a reply to an incoming call.)
The new update, which is expected to start rolling out to existing Windows Phone 8 phones later this summer, brings back support for FM radio (we heard you!) and makes the Data Sense feature of Windows Phone 8 available for more carriers to offer. The update also makes it easier to select, download, and pin tunes in Xbox Music and improves the accuracy of song info and other metadatasomething I know music fans will appreciate. (FM Radio and Data Sense availability depend on your phone model and carrier.)
The update includes hundreds of other small quality improvements. One final one worth highlighting, as we announced earlier, is that the update also ensures Windows Phone continues to work with Google services by adding support for the companys newest sync protocolsCalDAV and CardDAV.

Data sense.
About bloody time it became available. There's still no way for me to check my data usage on EE.
Thanks for nothing, Joe.
Why is Data Sense not just built-into all phones ffs.
It's a carrier feature for some reason, much like WiFi tethering.
WiFi tethering exists in SIM free phones though too.
Not all of them.

That's a different phone, the rumored EOS. The 928 is indeed a repackaged 928, but for Verizon this time.
Speaking of the BB 10.1 update, the moment they announced it the notification light on my Z10 went off to let me know the update was available. How did they get around carrier's to do instant updates like that for all non-US devices (like how Apple does)? Honestly the coolest moment regarding a phone update (I mean having my LED flash right as they announce it).http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/14/4329688/blackberry-10-1-rolling-out-to-z10-starting-today
Even the worst competition is moving faster. At this rate the Firefox OS will have more features. It just doesn't feel like MS has the manpower assigned to the Windows Phone team that it needs to get things rolling at a steady clip. When you're playing catch up you can't move slower than the guys on top. It doesn't make any sense. They're moving as slow as Windows Mobile did and we see what happened there.
I haven't jumped ship and it's doubtful I will but I won't be surprised to see Nokia start making Android devices by next year.
Yeah every non-Nokia device feels so empty and featureless compared to Lumias. I'd wonder what would happen to Windows Phone if Nokia theoretically left to make Android phones?Microsoft would be better off letting Nokia take over development of WP, or at least outsourcing some of it.
