rdio still no good even after the newest update?

No, not really. I have a 920 and whether I have the app in online mode or offline mode with playlists already synced, I'll get buffering pauses while playing songs. Sometimes it will play 8-10 songs in a row fine but then it will either out right crash or stop to buffer. This is with synced playlists, not even sure what it would do if they weren't synced.
I hope Spotify managed to produce a decent app. To me this doesn't seem like it should be that hard to do...

Great article. Pretty much echoing what we have been saying for years.

Support is there, but it isn't mandatory anymore, which is why manufacturers are ignoging it this time around.

Yes, the S4 SoC has the tuner, but no software support afaik

I live without an FM tuner if they just release a new phone so I can replaced my tired HTC Arrive. The phone has massive signal degradation now where I'm almost always at one bar (everywhere) with most calls abruptly ending as the phone cannot maintain a good signal. Oddly enough the battery sensor is apparently broken. This weekend I got the battery low indicator and switched in my wife's battery which was about 80+ percent. I got the same low battery warning when it was switched into my phone but when I got into settings it said 80+ percent battery life.
If not for having so many lies tied up in my plan, my discount and unlimited data I would probably have left a while ago. Sprint is making me rethink all this now.
You can probably just post them here

I'm on a Dutch forum discussing the availibility and prices of the Lumia 920, which is basically a gathering of people who ordered the 920. There are some people who orderen the 920 in november and are still waiting for confirmation on a shipping date. Because of the huge list of people who ordered in december/november, the webshops will complete their orders first and then start working on orders that are made in January. They're basically shipping out phones chronological order of ordering date. This sucks because:
- A lot of people ordered in December/November
- A lot of people ordered in January
Basically, the people who ordered in January have to wait for the people who ordered earlier to get their phones, and after that it's their turn. The problem is that the people who ordered first don't have their phones yet and the shipping date is postponed yet again. If they have to wait longer, that means people who ordered recently have to wait even longer.
People may get their phones early/mid februari. Almost all of them are concidering cancelling their orders and wait for what CES has to offer.. Cause the Xperia Z won't launch far from the date they actually get their Lumia 920's, for about the same price.
Major fuckup by Nokia if you ask me. They announced their phone early september and launch it around CES...

I kinda lol'd.
Ah ok, my phone time and date randomly changed this morning, and I was receiving texts and could see the little notification at the top but when I went into the thread it wasn't there. I set my time and date back to normal and everything seems fine now but just want to know what caused it. That and I didn't get the texts that were suppose to come through.
lol, anything but with my Lumia!
I've never heard of anything like that happening. It might be an issue with the carrier, I believe the that date/time is typically provided by the carrier.

Guess that confirms brand new devices from (at least) HTC and Samsung come this Summer. Obviously Nokia will have some too, can't wait for MWC

The Verge has written a surprisingly positive hands-on article on the Microsoft Surface Pro. Kind of makes me want a Microsoft designed phone.
By using a google and/or a microsoft account for your contacts.

4.4 million Lumias is pretty disappointing, considering they already sold 4 million during Q2 2012.
Weren't they manufacturing these things at a slow pace?

I guess they want to control their losses.

Nokia can't afford to take on the risk of ramping up manufacturing too quickly, one under performing quarter could kill them
Not so sure. I have always appreciated Nokia hardware, but the fact is I would never have bought one in the last 5 years, until now, thanks to their software and OS of choice.
I know I am putting a point across based entirely on my own personal experiences, but I can't be the only one.

Were the new Lumias on sale the entire Quarter?

Considering that I have been waiting for my 920 a month now there could be some major supply issues...

I am reserving judgment until Nokia actually releases the final report.
Well I have my microsoft account connected to both. Is there anything I need to do to sync it up? I've added phone numbers and pictures to contacts on my phone and they aren't showing up on windows 8's app.
Also, I can't seem to connect to xbox live when starting up wordament. Any idea of what I need to do?
EDIT: Nevermind on Wordament. Restarting the phone fixed it.
That's nice, I wonder how many of those were WP8 sets
2.4 million were wp8 devices, 2 million wp7 devices.

I'd laugh so hard. I don't see how Microsoft wouldn't be the laughing stock on the market.
This would truly be a landmark moment. The last time RIM beats anyone else to the punch.
samsung just announced an 8-core mobile cpu. so much for WP catching up.
