I'd love to be able to to recommend Move,, as it's kinda fun. But the in app purchases are outrageously pricey, and I haven't found a way yet to earn hints elsewhere in the game. That kinda kills the motivation.
Also, Nokia finally announced that bluetooth headset thingy. http://www.wpcentral.com/nokia-officially-announces-bh-121-bluetooth-headset
At 39, I might take a look.

has anybody played chaos rings? Is it worth the 10$?
Added Facebook into lifelogger. Turns out that skydrive shouldn't be used as a dynamic source of information. The 'slowness' in downloading thumbnails previously in lifeLogger was (in part) due to SkyDrive's scenarios for usage. When I hooked in facebook, boom, photos and status updates were retrieved incredibly quickly and I was on my way in the app. Means I'll be heading into Certification pretty soon. Still some bug-fixes to be had, and some animations to tidy up. I'm also going to look at flickr integration as well, because if it's as easy as facebook was....it shouldn't take too long to add in. If anyone used my previous beta.....sorry. The current version is very nice

Kinda disappointed with these reports on the 1520's camera. Luckily, it sounds like a firmware issue, but you'd think Nokia would have this down by now.
Spartan Assault will be out on Xbone later in December
Sadly just missed the Red Stripe deal, but I think it's still cheaper to buy it on WP first and get the discount.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
I actually did pick it up on the red stripe deal, it was too good to pass up at $2.99. I'll see what it looks like on the XB1 before biting though.

It's weird, because there always seems to be some weird camera issue at the release of a new Nokia phone. They pretty much all needed a firmware update or two to fix something.

It got pushed back six months. We probably have to wait until MWC for info, if not later.

He likes his job more than you guys. I don't blame him.

Is it bad that I want a 1520? I don't even think the size would bother me, its the camera and lack of OS modifications for large screen devices, outside of the start screen, that are holding me back.
It's a lovely device and I've been one of its apologists, but it's not worth it. The three columns and inability to really use it one-handed for messaging and surfing makes it kinda useless. And unlike the camera of the 1020, nothing about it is a real difference maker if you already own a WP8 phone.
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
3 columns is awesome, what the heck are you on? I use my phone two handed anyway, and I use text prediction and voice typing liberally, I won't have any issues day to day with this. Too bad about the camera, and the fact that the built in apps aren't optimized for the screen size.
Because you and I are alike and its a shiny new toy.

Ordered a Lumia 925 last week, hopefully I can pick it up soon. (Upgrading from an 800) Just found out Nokia Netherlands is giving away a €20 voucher for apps if you register a 925 or 1020 in the next 3 months http://www.nokia.com/nl-nl/world-of-apps/ perfect timing

The Galaxy Note 3 sold 10 million units in 2 months.
I wonder what sales Nokia are expecting for the 1520. It's probably going to do as bad as the 1020.

My son loves it but then again he's 16. I was watching him play the other day and it looks like it would be fun.

Nokia Conversations said:
It supports anything, basically. As long as the Bluetooth device has the right profiles, it should be able to make use of it.
There was no preview. GDR3 is official
You know what I mean. If I didn't do the dev preview I wouldn't have it yet.
edit: must be bug fixes
Minion Rush is now available.

Touting your console as a gaming device never worked for the media.
It's fun!
Also, looking forward to Angry Birds Go tomorrow.
More games than I can play right now.
Yep. I have mostly been playing Sims FreePlay, which just got an update.
Threadworthy:
IT'S HAPPENING!!!
I don't totally understand why they'd fork it though.
Oh God, the schadenfreude when this phone far outsells the Lumias....

Can't possibly be happening.

When does that exclusivity contract expire? If its after the deal closes then this product is as good as dead. If its before the contract expires, then this thing could potentially make it to market.
Imagine them selling an Android device, it being a moderate hit, and MS killing any possible successor.
Oh, the debates will feed phone-GAF for years.
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
Eww, a low end android phone from Nokia. I want a 1020 equivalent with bleeding edge internals, give me something to think about. Might be the only way to get me to buy an android phone.
It sounds like everyone on GDR3 Dev Preview got a couple updates

we all knew MS buying Nokia's handset division was to prevent Nokia from producing an Android phone but seeing the actual phone... Wow, I'm sure MS looked at the Normandy as the beginning of the end of their mobile efforts.
