If the 8X and 8S were siblings, the 8XT would be their child. None of the benefits, all of their downsides.
You don't have feelings.
The SS uniforms were from a different time, though. The time when Germany could dictate design (or anything else for that matter) is over.

As an 820 user I don't overly mind the lower resolution, but why they're still putting out screens at that res in 2013 is beyond me.
WP doesn't support qHD
It seems like it also takes some from the HTC One. The HTC Boomsound, as well as the camera software allowing you to take video and pictures simultaneously.
I'm gonna send you a tear soaked tissue, maybe with some snot thrown in for good measure.
Do it before Windows Phone goes third party!
:lol

Total coincidence that we were talking about the Ativ S just a short while ago.

Samsung ATIV Beam software to send files between ATIV and Galaxy? NICE!
i dunno how Sprint/Samsung can sell something with lower specs than a GS3 for $150 though...
smaller battery, less RAM wtf?

The ram doesn't matter, the battery is puzzling, but it is user replaceable. The price should be $99, though.

It's pretty ridiculous that there are only three 720p(+) Windows Phones on the market, if you exclude the 920 variants.
Got my 620. Love It so far, but there seems to be something wrong with the screen.
I have the tiles set to crimson red, but sometimes the colors lose saturation and they fade to a pink-ish hue and everything else appears somewhat washed out. Then it goes back to normal for no apparent reason.
I tried taking screenshots of both states but they appeared identical, so the phone apparently doesn't recognize the change.
So what's going on with my screen?

By default, Nokia enables a setting that overrides the maximum brightness if it detects too much light. You can disable it from the display+touch part of system settings.
My secret plan is to unlock it and get her to give it a try for bit. She is currently using a iPhone4S. Problem is she is addicted to some games on her iPhone.

ATIV S lives in the U.S. lol
Whew, thank you! I was worried there was something wrong with my phone.
Aahhhhh!

Aahhhhh!
you should see the wall in the WP buildings. We all drew our own start screen on a piece of paper and hung them up on a wall. Really cool to see the differences between everyone. I think Tom Warran had a picture of it at some point (maybe last build?)
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
Theverge is terrible for breaking news. Their website is slow to update, even the recent articles tab. Nothing on build yet on the front page, you have to do a search for it.

Don't worry I definitely saw your tone as lighthearted. Its nice to have non windows phone users. No one prefers an echo chamber.

Are you being sarcastic?

No, why?

So boring they couldn't even afford us a release date.
It's Van.
He thinks I've never owned a Windows Phone.
At least in his world, owning a Windows phone before WP7 is not an owner.
So awesome.
HTC 8XT:
Awesome colour, not so awesome specs.

Ughh, all of the Bing team's new apps are excellent...on windows 8. When will they give us windows phone users some love?
When will they give us non-US windows phone users some love to begin with?

Stop being so greedy. They just expanded the music search to more countries yesterday, okay?

Flipboard announced for Windows 8. No news on Windows Phone, where it actually matters...
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
YOU ARE NOT AN OWNER! The platforms are so different, though, it really doesn't count if you owned WinMo6 or below.
Weird, I did a screencap when you quoted me cause I wasn't sure if you were kidding or not either. This was the homepage I was looking at:
Maybe its my work network that screws up the Verge? Engadget works fine, though.

This is actually really cool. All Samsung devices being able to exchange data would be quite clever. They should add this to their Windows 8 tablets too.

they already mentioned some sort of Sync software for Windows 8 at their recent Galaxy + ATIV event
