You guys now what I loved about that latest Nokia commercial at the wedding? How they mocked all these gimmicky features other products have. I hope the next one mocks the hand wave controls.

They weren't making fun of the features. Nokia has had NFC on their WP phones since last November and they had the android guys doing the touch to share. WP has had text to speech since the beginning and the commercial showed someone yelling at siri. It was about the "herd" mentality, not the features.

Bigger tiles on the phone would be pretty bad, it would literally take up half the screen lol. Maybe tolerable for 1080p/large screen displays though
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
That was the rumor, though, wasn't it? That the extra row and perhaps bigger tile would be reserved for the 1080p phablets releasing this fall.

Is the Lumia 925 here very fast or is it just me?

36 month support lifecycle and business features on the way: http://blogs.windows.com/windows_phone/b/windowsphone/archive/2013/07/10/making-windows-phone-an-even-better-choice-for-business.aspx
I hope he means that the features will be available to all phones as an update. "Feature pack" sounds like something that could be sold seperately (somehow...).

The start-screen innovation that they are teasing (and I've seen) hasn't been speculated at all yet, and I highly doubt it will.
and that's the last I feel like I could possibly say about this. No acknowledgements or dismissals
Nokia's Feature Packs always come as free updates.
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
Anyone able to grab the Here updates from Nokia? It keeps saying that it's not available on my phone, wtf?
They've pulled them because of installation problems.

Will I be able to enjoy the full update if I buy Lumia 1020?
Why do I even bother asking?

You guys are thinking too short-term. We're playing the long-route on this. You won't see it until 2020 at the earliest. We'll reveal it now, so that Apple and Android have it by next year though.
I love it when you spill the honest beans.
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
So it's bigger than a 920, but lighter. 1GB more of RAM (I wonder if that will help in other areas of the OS, like the browser). Same speed processor as the 920, maybe its the same exact one. Same battery size. Better FFC than the 920. Better rear camera than any phone ever made.......ever. No SD support. Wireless charging is an extra accessory, let's see how much that costs. The camera grip seems very interesting, if it can serve as a case and because it boosts the battery life. $70 is crazy though.

I'm out.
Lost my Lumia 920 4 months ago and have been waiting for a suitable replacement...
925 certainly wasn't it, and now this isn't it either.
I can't wait any longer. Moving to Android.

Plenty of good options there. Say hi in the Android thread!

What now, haters? What now?!
VanMardigan

It really is indefensible of them to not include SD storage. Baffling. When you use some of the lenses, like cinemagraph for example, you can only view the effect on the phone unless you share it, so its not like you will immediately want to transfer all your photos to the PC and erase them from the phone.
I don't know, I don't think that 32 GB is too restrictive to do all of that.
Not that SD support wouldn't be nice to have, it would, especially if you also use it as your music player.
To be fair though, I do and I have around 9 gig of free space on my 920 anyway (not that I've synced all my music, but still a decent amount). Obviously the pictures will be bigger here, but I still have around 200 pictures on my phone and all of them in full res.
There was rumours of a 64 GB version yesterday btw, that would definitely help.

Especially when the much cheaper Lumia 720 has the same unibody design and an SD card slot. I don't know what's up with that.
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
I have less than 3gb left on my 920, and I've already removed games I don't play and I delete pictures I don't like. Games and video podcasts are the biggest offenders. If I had 32gb for just games and apps, and could stick my photos, music (not a ton), and podcasts on an SD, that's what I want.
Yeah, I don't have many games on mine, that helps a lot of course.
Just checked, and it's not 9 gb free, but just under 8.
Still don't know where the 2.3 GB of other comes from, it's continuously growing.
edit: well over 300 pictures btw. I think I'd be fine even with a 41 MP sensor.

For me it is a mix of temp files (about 1 gig that won't go away) and app data (another gig), assuming those both count into 'Other' here. I'm sitting at 2.5 gig Other
It will probably end up a carrier exclusive though.

"It's kind of amazing that Nokia keeps introducing very familiar pocket camera tech manual controls, image stabilization, scene modes as ultra-innovative in a phone. Justified, but consumers have had access to this tech in their point and shoots for a long time. -NP"
