Can't believe it, not only the app, but Google also blocked just the youtube.com website now!

Wasn't working for about 20 minutes -at least, before I posted. It just would say "no videos available"

lol, really thinking about moving my Gmail account to an outlook address.

Seems like it's getting ever harder for Google to hide that they are the new Microsoft of yore.

The Verge article is going crazy. So many effing Android users trolling in there. But yeah, Google is getting depressingly childish considering how good they were a couple of years ago.

 

[derFeef]

Article tweeted with official MS account. It's ON!.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Curious to see what Google's response will be. Dat 3% market share is scary I guess.

maybe tomorrow, Outlook has been acting up since yesterday.

Hey guys, I'm interested in a windows phone.

How do these things hold up? Do they slow down really quickly like android? I can't take this google shit anymore

haven't had a problem with mu outlook domain email, hotmail has had problems though.

I feel like this can only end badly for us WP users. Not looking forward to it.

I didn't move my Gmail account, but I no longer use it as my primary personal account. Using my (old) Hotmail account with (new) Outlook alias has been fine.

Microsoft wants Youtube almost as bad as people with iPads want Office!

real talk though, why is there not a new thread on this? there's one for a damned Yahoo toolbar...

Isn't there enough anti-MS threads on Gaf already

Semi-related, I just opened outlook.com. There are 5 ad rectangles on the right sidebar. All 5 of them are currently Surface RT ads.

Their ad selling business must be doing great.

very stable. Very fast no matter the hardware.

My Samsung Focus was significantly faster by the time I replaced it with my Lumia 920 than it was when I first got it.

Me neither.


Definitely seems like Google is not being particularly open about any of this.

I've had my 920 since it came out and have yet to come across a slowdown in system performance. I've also had it survive a few falls with only a small quarter dime sized crack in the corner.

Thank you all.

I only use my phone for mp3's, browsing the web and maps so apps don't really matter to me.

Windows phone it is.

Thanks again

You'll be pleased with the phone then. Even the cheap $99 520 performs pretty brilliantly considering the price.

Any idea what phone you're going to pick up?

 

[SCHUEY F1]

My weather tile seems to be working now. I deleted a bunch of apps. If that was the problem, just need to find out, which app was causing the problem. Going to see if it keeps updating properly over the next day or so first.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Have a 920 on ATT... Just went to visit a 928 with the update. I want. Now!

Some premier partner ATT is.

Stupid question:

Do locked phones work with prepaid plans? I probably won't get a locked one, but just in case...

Presuming it's the same in the US as the rest of the world they will, it's a SIM lock only. They can't stop you going PAYG.

Good to know, thanks!

Soon™

Or not, it's AT&T so who knows.

8X update is out on AT&T, so you'd assume the Nokia phones are getting is soon.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

:lol perfect

 

[Milchjon]

Apparently Amber also added pinch to zoom for the 920.

Just in time for Youtube uploads.

 

[flippedb]

Other folder is sitting at 1 GB now. Barely 2 weeks of use.

 

[Razdek]

Can someone explain to me why the 520 isn't getting the glance screen in the Amber update? I mean it basically has the same innards as the 620 and that's getting it.

You get FM Radio, we get Glance Screen.

Anybody know why my app list has the letters on those boxes? I swear it wasn't like that yesterday.

Can't see the picture, but it happens when you have installed xx apps.

So... there are other third party apps I can use to browse Youtube on Windows Phone, right? And those apps still let me sign in, comment, upload, like, access my playlist, etc?

If so, then fuck Google I don't care if there isn't an official Youtube App.

Only 2 more weeks before I can join you guys and get my Nokia 1020! Soon as it's September I'm going straight to Sprint, canceling my service, and going straight to AT&T to get my phone!

myTube and Metrotube are great, but they don't allow upload. However Nokia has a upload app, which you can use.

Ah, ok! Didn't know that, thanks.

Also, it seems like Country Variants are many times unlocked devices who depend just on Nokia for firmware updates, none of that carrier bs.

 

[hadareud]

Some of the Amber updates are now on Navifirm (520, 928), but still nothing for the 920.

Very strange. Usually they're there weeks before they're rolled out by the carriers.

NFL Mobile is out for all WP8 devices.

Only the live streams are still Verizon exclusive.

Bummer that it's not on WP7 because my FF league uses NFL.com and this would actually have come in handy.


Citrix Receiver too.
