Yep. And the Desire and the Desire HD and so on.
They are truly awful with supporting their phones.
To be fair to them, it seems like most OEMs are.

Even Samsung is terrible at updating their own phones with official updates.
I had to root my phone in order to update it properly. The OTA update semi-bricked it. Only installed the software and not the modem.

Obviously to generate more clicks. Like I said, it's a shithole.
not a lot has changed at HTC, though the HTC One just got 4.2.2 apparently
Which should've been on it when it launched.

thus my not a lot has changed at HTC
I really need a new phone :/
lol my bad, read that wrong. I missed the 'not a lot has changed', thought you wrote 'a lot has changed'

At least they tried.
Sorry for the double post. new pic
That just looks flat out ridiculous. Hope they make a smaller model without the crazy camera and wireless charging back in!

its called the 925...
LOL. But on AT&T with LTE support!

The 925 doesn't have wireless charging.

Meh. I don't think it looks anymore ridiculous than something like the Note, especially since its easily justified...at least for the photos. Can't wait to see comparisons.

The 920?
edit: I'm such a fool. I want that phone now. Ugh, no self control. I'll wait for comparisons and confirmation on resolution and processors, but with an upgrade just waiting for me this summer, I'll crack. I just know it. They'll probably price it aggressively on contract to really lure me.
I don't know what you expected?
After the 808 and that ridiculous "leaked render" last year, this goes beyond anything I dared to hope for.
Still looks better than 80% of the phones on the market to me. And it definitely looks better than the 925.

What are you looking for? If you want those things the 920 (which I think you have) has the exact same specs. This isn't nokia's next flagship. This is quite obviously a niche phone that will be marketed to those that aren't satisfied with today's smart phone cameras.

I could've made that post two months ago, because this is exactly what I expected.

You're so cryptic. Do you like it? Hate it? Meh?
Samsung are leaps and bounds ahead of other oems when it comes to updates now on Android. Even thier low end phones are still getting updates.
Well if its not the next flagship that's fine. I'll probably still get it.

Gonna make a thread about the leaks and supposed specs. Wish me luck!
Damn, banned for three days and we get the EOS leaks! I should get banned more...
I won't get a phone with an OLED screen. Burn in is a huge issue for me and I'm not going to use my main phone around it. There is a rumor about the EOS plus on the WPcentral comments? I hadn't heard about that before, anyone care to fill me in?

Somehow I missed this. Nice to get another free game with cheevos. And a good one at that.
This and Royal Revolt made my 920 happy today

In case anyone here is interested in Tapatalk:
I've been using the beta for a couple of days now. Apart from a few bugs, it's actually a very nice app. Looks a lot better than Foroplex, it's quick and snappy, relatively stable (unlike Foroplex). There's some important features that are missing (search within a forum for instance) and it's pretty basic for now, so lets hope those things will be added gradually over time.
The good news is that the dev is quick to fix things. I emailed him some bugs yesterday and the majority of them were fixed in an update he released overnight. That's quite encouraging, I have to say.

This is what I don't get. No one is craving for this phone, no one is waiting for it and GDR3 with 1080p and quad-core support is around the corner. Why not just push the phone back half a year, release it around January and have a unique state of the art product? Instead it's going to be just as well received as the 808, with a slightly higher ecosystem score on the Verge.

That's unlikely and would only matter when I say so. ;-)
I am definitely interested in picking up the Nokia EOS if it can pull off proper pureview, I am worried about the dual core processor doing all that pureview image magic though, there might still be a sting in the tail (aka some kind of compromise that ruins the whole thing). I don't care that it's not the prettiest or lightest as long as it's giving me way better imaging than I can get anywhere else.
And Had I looked at that forum, thought about signing up, then saw people have sigs and had terrible 2002 flashbacks of being a 16 year old on the Xbox365.com forums.

The signatures can be switched off - I've never seen them myself.

Looks like another unibody Nokia without SD card support. If ever there was a phone that needed SD card support, it's this one. Hopefully I can use that as an excuse to skip it and wait for 108p quad core phones. Unfortunately, all that will do is convince Nokia that nobody wants an awesome camera with their phone if it means a bump. I'll have to settle for a Nokia 1080p phablet.
EOS looks much nicer (well, less bad) than the 925.
Dunno, I prefer the deisgn on the 925. I wasn't so sure at the begining from the leaks, but this promotional video does present it in a better light. I guess ill see it in person just before i buy it.

Don't forget that there is a rumoured 5"+ device as well.

Both the red and the yellow really grew on me once I saw them in person. I really would like to see a green version!

A matte yellow 920 would look even better. No more cheap plastic gloss on the phone.
Matte yellow would be god tier
