Artist background is the main feature.
Though that only works when there isn't one yet.
:lol. That's a bit much.Stay classy Nokia.
Google is making some good changes to combat this by breaking out parts of the OS and putting them on the store and in google services. The version of Android you are on is mattering less and less.
Good article here that was posted in the android thread.

Maybe that's why the little Android guy has all of his pieces on Google's lawn.
lol.. the version is 4.4. The Kit Kat fits. Plus key lime pie was kinda lame.

Ah, nice one. I'll give it another go.
Does anybody know if GDR2 fixed the bug which causes the thumbnails of skydrive albums in the photo hub to go blank?
Edit: MPAtool is no longer published according to the store. Yet there are reviews as recent as yesterday.

That's not good at all. What about the stability and optimizations (if they're any) that comes with the update.

I still can't get the Nokia Video Trimmer for my 820. Doesn't appear in the UK store from what I can see.

I was just updated today
Yes it is good. Obviously there are parts of the OS that still need to be updated. This is just takes many pieces out of that requirement.

has calmed down a bit.
Damn, there are some good ideas on the Note 3. I have a sneaking suspicion WP Blue will allow snapped app views a la Win8, but Samsung is way out in front in terms of running multiple apps at once. And on a larger screen especially, that is a cool feature to have.
That said, buying a Note 3 would require me to give up my 41mp Pureview camera, use touchwiz, and use a phone with a fake leather back. Nope, nope, and nope.

When I saw the dragging text and images from the browser to the chat app, I was legit mouth wide open.

cuz it doesn't use Zune, it uses Xbox Music.
Rebranding the Zune program to be XBox Music + Videos in an update isn't impossible. Turfing the sync app going from WP7 to 8 and disabling USB tethering is some straight fuckery.
so long as the volume buttons don't break, seems a common problem and mine look to be on the way out for a second time.
On the cover or the actual phone? As in, do you have to send it in or just change the cover?
The actual phone. There are buttons on the cover and then there ones that are attached to the motherboard, they're the ones that break http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nok...tton-got-faulty-I-can-t-increase/td-p/1867284
http://forums.wpcentral.com/nokia-lumia-620/225934-broken-volume-button.html
It has dented my love for mine a bit. Another reason for me to consider a new phone this winter. Might phone O2 and see actually if they would refund me, it would be the third time I have had to send the phone in for repairs since i got it in February so i might have a case.

What the hell are you talking about? Is that some typical MS fanboy BS to discredit Apple once again?
Didn't you read the AdAge article about Yahoo's new logo?

The world's going "flat" design, propelled by Apple's new iOS and there's nothing you can do about it!
That's one of the things that has to change and change quickly.
You announce a phone and a release date and you release it world-wide at the same time, or at least in all the major markets.
The trickle to this and that country at this and that time in limited numbers and on this and that carrier is definitely not helping their sales.

Still no luck. When I check any of the stores it says the app is no longer published.
Using the link from WPCentral I get a "This app is not available for your device message"
Maybe they took it down temporarily
America gets it first for Microsoft products. This is one of the same reasons that caused the Zune HD to fail.

money and resources.
Nokia has microsoft's money now, let's see what they do with it.
my guess, less high end phones, more low end ones.
Agreed on Zune.
But to be fair to Microsoft, they've done an excellent job with Europe when it comes to Xbox.
Everyone is taking the piss about them only releasing in 13 countries this time around, but before the Xbox 360 neither Sony nor Nintendo would have ever dreamed of releasing their consoles in Europe at the same time as in Japan and the US. Half a year behind, minimum.
Even now despite all of the ridiculous moaning on the gaming side they're still releasing it same day in most of the major European countries, unlike Sony. Not tier 3 countries like Scandinavia, of course, but still.
That's the attitude and expertise they need to bring to their phones now too. They need a good kick up the arse, quickly.

Yeah, that's the message I get on the phone store too. The published message appears on the webstore.

Which isn't really that big of a problem and more like a good solution because the gross of the sales have been of the 520, I'll be happy with a flagship and one specialized Pureview magic phone a year much in the way Samsung has only 2 true flagships a year (The S and the Note).
The 520 is a great phone for cheap, I wonder how low could they go when they try to put WP in the Asha line

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?

People joke about people thinking and writing that shit but that makes it even sadder when you see it for real. Embarrassing.

I gotta admit, I can't wait to see iOS 7 on my iPad. It's supposed to look great in motion.

Toshiba Encore is a full Win 8.1 tablet priced at $329. Lenovo and Toshiba pretty much proclaiming the death of the RT. Sad times as I thought RT app development would help grow WP development.
The way things are going, Windows Phone 9 may become straight up Windows 9. Yes, full OS in mobile form. The idea of that in a Microsoft Lumia phone makes me ill.
