You would just say "Play x Song", no need to vocally navigate that way.

Well, that screen would fit in with the voice command rumors, right?
I also think Metro is starting to look a bit unsophisticated by now. Could use a bit of finetuning in a lot of corners.

Well, I guess Xbox Music wasnt the best example because of you being able to just jump to a static content list you know about, though for something like news or food apps or whatnot where you have changing content it would work.
That would require Xbox Music getting your music info right ;-)

It fits with the rumors, but it won't necessarily look like that.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
I was about to say; why don't you flash it?
I might just end up doing that. They said they'd release it by the end of this month so hopefully by the end of the week I'll have it. If not then i'll flash this bad boy.

What's the big deal with GDR2 for ATT? They removed data sense so Nokia pro cam is the only worth while update but even that's questionable as I am thoroughly enjoying One Shot using the new Nokia camera SDK, it even offers live filters.

FM Radio and Glance Screen are also cool features.

FM Radio will* be really nice for me with my new schedule actually.
*AT&T will never deliver that update lol

Just got a white Lumia 920 for relatively cheap. The amber update and pro camera app sold me!
Coming from a galaxy s2 I'm liking it so far. Don't miss the android ecosystem yet as I will likely buy a tablet/iPad. Soon for the more intensive apps & games. Gaming on phones is naff anyway imo... Not enough real estate to work with for quality touch gaming.
What are the must have free apps for this?

I'd rather play stuff on my phone since it's in my pocket every day. There's a ton of compelling mobile games on ios and android, I currently play asphalt 8 on my iPad at the laundry mat.
the lack of apps isn't the biggest shock to me, it's the price of some of them.

It's great fun, very addictive.

Seems kind of gimmicky, but if my phone can help me find stuff and vice versa, I'm up for it.
Just hope those things are as cheap as possible. If they could get it in the >=5$/ range, a real commodity, it would be awesome. But I doubt they'll do that.

I'd pay up to 19.99 for it. A ridiculous price, but the thing is gimmicky enough for me to pay it.

O2 have had Nokia looked at the phone and they're charging me or £120 for repair. Last Nokia, MS, Lumia or whatever name they're going by now I'll be buying. I appreciate the damage is physical, but a broken AMOLED from height barley over a foot and a half is pathetic.

Nokia phones have a well deserved reputation for durability.
As sucky as it is, its all luck in terms of when a screen cracks. I dropped my 920 several times before an innocent looking fall cracked it. I've read the same complaints in the HTC one and iPhone threads where screens crack from very mild drops, then a bunch of people chime in about how indestructible their copy of the phone is. Not the answer you want to hear, but it was just bad luck and the amoled tends to be easier to crack, so avoiding devices with those or using a case may be the best bet for you.

AMOLED is just inherently fragile. There was Nexus One's that cracked just being in people's pockets. Be interesting to see if Samsung solve it with that curved Note 3.

AMOLED screens may be fragile which sucks, but in my opinion the manufacturer could be picking up the cost in certain circumstances. I'd be fine if I sent them a phone which had the glass cracked too, or some sort of chasis damage that indicated phone had taken a big knock. But when you send them a phone that looks brand new with a cracked display, just purely internal damage, it wouldn't kill them to eat the cost and generate some customer good will. As it stands, I'm now disgruntled because I'm paying about a third of the phones cost to repair an issue that came from something that barely qualifies as a fall.
Looking forward to it.
I'm so going NSA on people with this.
I understand your frustration but it just seems a case of bad luck from whatever angle it landed at when it fell. Better than what HTC had to say about the Nexus One (and it's sister the HTC Desire) when they cracked through purely from being carried around, "People sometimes forget that they [phones] don't go in pockets."
I think android has had that dot menu for a while. Its usually vertical though. Its all over stock android on my n4. I even recall it from earlier versions.
They have but WP still had it first. It didn't come to Android until ICS iirc.

I thought the three dots were part of iOS apps since the beginning.
On WP it's still ... I can't think of any instances where it's the Android style on WP.
VanMardigan

I'm going to have to agree that Nokia or your carrier should replace it for free. Maybe if you push the issue on social media with them by getting in touch with some Nokia people online.
Hmm.. you're right.

Question guys, how intense is leaving Skype on and signed in on your Windows Phone?
I may start leaving it signed in, but I'm kind of scared that my 1020 will die before the day ends.

Always worth trying that, might get it as a goodwill gesture.
Hell, email Elop
Dont think the Email Elop thing will work again until next year
...But by then it will also work on Xbox's, Surfaces and whatever else they make
Windows 8.1 will actually have some good apps then!
