I'm pretty sure that's on purpose because it has to actually have a list of bad words you can't add. So I don't expect it to change.
I think I managed to sneak one in, don't remember what it was though.

Excellent stuff. You know I was joking.
Though I find it odd that there doesn't seem to be access to the dictionary anywhere, I've searched and searched and nobody on the Google (sorry, Bing) knows either.
There's no such thing as bad words, just bad use of words. For instance, if someone tries to steal your suitcase at the airport, you tell them to fuck off. Loudly. You don't say "go away". You say "fuck off" and off they fuck. And trust me, John Terry is not a count.
I don't have a problem with no swear-words being in the dictionary, but there should be an option to add them or at the very least the auto-correct should not auto-correct them anymore after a while (like on WP, where over time the swear words are added).
It's not just swear words either, it's all sorts of stuff W8.1 won't let you add to the dictionary that makes no sense and the auto-correct is so bloody strict, you can't get around it (not even by clicking away or highlighting something else in the meantime).
I laughed.
How would I know there is a Facebook Beta app available that is more recent and works better than the only official Facebook app that is available on the(my) marketplace?

I also wonder about this very situation myself sometimes.

Speaking of "the only official Facebook app", how the fuck can the Store team let shit like this happen?

This is absolutely embarrassing.
don't forget that the 1020 is the 64GB variant.

If nokia doesn't come out with a 1020 equivalent next year for Verizon i'm going to shave my head and go crazy.
Or maybe I'll just stop working and cry at my desk for a month.
EDIT: looks like MS is definitely finishing up the NOK deal http://www.theverge.com/2013/12/4/5175116/microsoft-nokia-european-comission-approval
Yeah, but those who don't will download one of the many unofficial(scam?) apps because the official one is messed up. Good stuff MS!
EU Approves. US Approves. Done deal

Nokia N97-mini like Hardware QWERTY.
I would sacrifice my 920 and jump to Android for hardware QWERTY.
Now with the MS deal, there won't be hardware QWERTY from "Nokia".

I posted this in the Nokia thread, but they suggested posting it here.
On my 1020 I've been having this problem for months where it likes to go into voice control with that BEEP BEEP noise while it's in my pocket and I'm walking and then every few steps it goes BEEP BEEP until I take it out of my pocket and cancel the listening mode. Or sometimes when I take it out of my pocket after that it's on the bing search screen.
I have no idea how that can be happening since the phone is locked and screen off when it goes in my pocket and it seems like to activate the voice control it would have to double tap the screen, slide the screen up to the home screen and then hold down the home button for a few seconds which uh, just sliding around in an empty pocket does not seem like that should be happening...at least not frequently (happens every few days).
fwiw I have the camera case accessory on at all times and that might be affecting it since the case makes it a little more glitchy with some stuff like battery indicator and the ability to power off.
I kind of wonder if I just got a bum phone. It's a nice phone but the glitches (and Spotify is so glitchy and bad at remembering what you're playing) are making me thinking about changing brands again in another 1.5 years (came from iphone series)

Damn right. I'd also love to see what Nokia and Microsoft could come up with using VaporMG. Surface Phone would be sick!
Do you have super sensitive touch on? Sometimes when I don't turn my phone off I think it's sensitive enough for my leg to activate stuff through my pocket. I'd try turning off double tap to wake and/or super sensitive touch selectively to see if anything changes.
Spotify is kinda shit and has been forever. You might want to take a look at alternatives (like Xbox Music). Although I guess that won't be of much help if you're already paying for Spotify.
Personally, I've stopped using anything but Nokia Mix Radio anyway. The Offline Mix feature is awesome, and while it doesn't let me select certain titles, my mixes are good enough so it doesn't bother me. And I don't pay anything. The quality is meh, so I'm considering paying the 3.99 per month, but it's good enough for me at the moment. Plus I'm always discovering new stuff via those mixes.

Could be lint in the earpiece, an accessibility setting, or a rogue app. Do what kharma suggested and mess around with the lock screen settings.
Can you explain what is glitchy about the camera grip? I haven't had any issues, but then again I don't use it unless I'm hiking.
Also, the mint app is nice and looks great. When a dev does a metro app properly, it looks far better than the same app on other platforms.

Vscocam for WP pls
Nah, that's for easy to use camera phones like say the iPhone only.
So is XBL integration a huge selling factor for you guys when it comes to games? Looking at the WPCentral forums, it's shocking to see how some refuse to buy any game that isn't live enabled.
Trying this out for the first time and while it's great so far, I find it odd how the app recognizes I have pending transactions but won't factor them into my available cash amount.

Not at all. What's the point besides achievements that I don't care about?

Maybe try disabling the option in the settings that enables you to go to search from the lockscreen by holding down the button
Search Button>>...>>Settings>>Allow Search button from lockscreen
Yeah, I got it when it came out. Love the interface and camera is great during the daylight (night pictures or low light are still as terrible as all phone cameras).
The main thing (maybe the only thing) is the battery indicator. Like I'll have my phone (in the camera accessory) say it's draining really fast and think it's at like <20% remaining when I've barely used it and go into safe battery saver mode. Then I reset the phone and the battery indicator jumps to 80% and drains correctly. Doesn't happen all the time, but happens regularly.

Wonder how the Nokia 2520 is selling
Lets not kid ourselves. Its destined to have horrible sales.
That's pretty much my opinion of the features but some of these people refuse to purchase any game that lacks support. IMO this does more harm than good for the platform.

Used Waze this week. What an awful experience. Low bitrate for the voice navigation, limited vocabulary, and has a few bugs.
Here drive is sooooo much more refined.
To think Waze was one of the apps android fans were pimping.

I love Here more than any of the other nav apps I've used across devices.
it's cool to get achievements for Sudoku, but leader boards and challenges are fun on my iPad. Seems like devs are moving away from Xbox integration anyways, with the headaches it brings.
Kind of weak that a company that releases a game console and did so well with Live and xbla cant do more with gaming on their mobile platform. I actually like playing mobile games though.

they were doing fine with WP7. Weekly "Xbox" releases, then with WP8 it all went to shit. I'm still bitter about losing DodonPachi.
Yeah, but the directions are like 10x better than Here. Here doesn't even factor traffic into determining your route, which is the entire point of Waze IMO.

true but I found the voice navi response very late. For example, it will tell me to make a left after I've already past an intersection. I gotta keep my eyes on my phone screen to keep waze honest.
They should sell off the WP and Xbox division, like, seriously.

I just want to say, I love Mint on both Windows Phone and Windows 8 metro. I can officially ditch both Check and Nexus 7.
I'm hesitant about putting my bank info on there...
what makes you think it is less secure than the bank itself?

I've never heard of the app outside of this thread and thought I'd check it out. Off the bat it asks for my bank login info.
