What a horrible fate has befallen your ultra manly glossy yellow phone.

You've already proven that you got no taste, so shut up, Jon.

some of the Sony phone fans are ... STRANGE, even to the rest of us Android fans
but the Moto X peeps take the cake with their 'specs dont matter' (BUT DAT GPU THO) nonsense.
Because I hate all things Galaxy?
Sorry, I just can't agree with your pro Samsung-design stance there.
I'd also take the yellow one ;-) I also don't think we had many disagreements on design apart from the 925's edges?

Its the gaming side fanboy wars spillover. I remember when I was a Nintendo fanboy, but now the idea of swearing allegiance for one company and against another seems infantile to me.
I get that you prefer how one company does hardware or software, but it goes very far beyond that for many people. Ecosystem lockdown is also weird to me. I've bought apps on WP, android and ios. No such thing as a perfect platform for everyone. Even for me, I jump around pretty frequently. This 3 year run with WP is the longest I've been on any one platform, and I probably would've jumped ship this year if it weren't for Nokia and their fantastic hardware and software.
Seriously, I can't imagine this platform without Nokia.
WP would be dead without Nokia.
If by chance if Elop became MS's next CEO, would the MS/Nokia relationship get even stronger? Guess it would depend who would take over at Nokia as well.

Watch it be this guy so he can shitbin WP.

Not just the gpu, but more specifically the Egypt Offscreen benchmark. 1080 screen doesn't matter but wow look at that Egypt Offscreen score.
Jesus that thread...
Hahahahahahahahahaha... This is why I do not stray from this thread to other phone threads. Jesus christ.

So everything he said can be done on WP except shooting 4k video? And wth is swiping the tiles?

I'm assuming that if Elop became Microsoft's new CEO, MS would probably outright just buy or merge into Nokia so they don't have to risk them going Android. Then they just tell Elop that he is Microsoft's CEO.
Though I don't think Elop will become Microsoft's CEO. It'll likely be someone else.
Just coming up with reasons to shit on WP. Though I don't see why they feel the need to make up excuses when they have a list of problems they can pull from already.
Also the alarm sounds... uuggh.
Trying to use 4K video "so people can watch it back on their 4K TVs" gave me a chuckle. Yeah, those mass market, big sell 4K sets that everyone has...
Sometimes when my screen gets dirty I try to swipe the tiles but I lag a bit... It happens to me all the time. I get to the beginning of the tile then my hand stops and next thing I know I'm at the end without having cleaned the middle.
Jokia Lunia indeed.

Gonna ask here because the answers I'm getting from Google are inconsistent and I really don't want to risk breaking my phone.
I'm trying to find out if my Nokia 1020 is waterproof, anyone know if the phone is or isn't?

Well then, I better be careful around water!
I lost my last 2 smart phones from Water-Damage from using them to play music in the shower.Well then, I better be careful around water!
What the hell? Why would you do that?

I would have my phone sitting on some Speakers and have it play music on the counter (a good 12 feet or so from the actual showerhead, so the phone isn't in ANY direct contact with water, just the vapor (fog?) in the air from the room.) It eventually gave both of my last phones water damage (or I believe this was the problem, I don't recall ever getting those phones wet).
Don't worry, I learned my lesson.
No I haven't, I did the same thing with my 1020 today in the morning, I'll stop know that I know for sure it isn't waterproof.

Just get a Bluetooth speaker, or alternatively a Bluetooth receiver that plugs into your current receiver. I got one that has a reverse iPod dock on it, because there are so many portable iPod speakers out there, and just stream from my lumia to it.
Then you can leave your phone outside the bathroom like you're supposed to

I think the free Ringtones Pro app has all of the Nokia tones available.

If it happens again, stick it inside a bowl full of rice and let the phone rest for a couple days. Moisture will be out by then, so it should turn on.
But please, if any electronic device gets wet, remove the battery and don't try to turn it on under any circumstance. That is almost granted to kill it.

Like I told zedge, it's not a matter of opinion, this is the best smartphone camera. I don't care about Topolsky's opinion, because opinions can be wrong, and it just so happens that his opinion that the iPhone 5 takes better pictures is wrong. Under any condition and no matter who is pressing the shutter button.
This is only half true. You put the phone in a bowl of rice over night, and Asians will come and fix your phone/electronics. Everything will be good as new in the morning. True story.

Wow he actually said that? Man if that doesn't prove to people that topolsky is biased as fuck, then i don't know what does.
Little, tiny Asians come out of the rice, pretty much like Pikmins. It is true.
what phones do you have, bud?
I'm almost sure he owns some Android device, probably Samsung, and hasn't tried a WP8 device for more than 15 minutes.
No, zedge has 920 and has an 8X as well. Zedge is a good poster. I think the 920 didn't suit his furry pictures

Ah, ok. Why is he being so whiny, then? Is it because of Van's rudeness?

The comments almost slaughter the review and the phone.
S3, 920, N4.
Is there a way I can fucking stop my phone from vibrating every time a Facebook message comes in, that doesn't include a) Stop receiving Facebook chat messages and b) Turning vibration on the device off for everything?
I wouldn't like to lose the vibration for SMS, but fuck Facebook messages. That's the reason why I unistalled Facebook Messenger from my old Xperia.

I love the overall design and I used it personally. It's great.
true. whilst owners will no doubt get used to it whoever at HTC decided that was a good layout is a fucking idiot.
