Its shit like this that is not doing the platform any favors.

It's so true. It's one of the most frustrating things to see advertisements for apps that have a Windows Phone version, but don't even advertise it, instead focusing on iOS and Android.

I can only hope that over time, as the platform keeps growing, this will happen less and less.

Hopefully some more will get announced soon. Surprised that the Lumia 810 or the HTC 8X never came to Telus.

Edit: Apparently Koodo is going to release a WP8 device soon. Probably the 8S or 810 I imagine.

Nokia Loves Us and we Love Nokia. Hopefully they succeed in surviving, and if not get bought up by MS so they can continue making awesome stuff.

I love reading "added WP8 support" in apps changelog. Wish all apps get updated because everything is fluid and fast in WP8.

I hope they don't get bought by Microsoft ...

Reading on Windows Phone Central about Xbox games for Windows Phone it is just plain depressing. I am sure all the internal fighting they are gearing all the Xbox Games for Xbox Surface, Xbox Loop and 720. And in Microsoft fashion none of the games will be compatible with their own existing platform. If the games for Xbox Surface is not compatible with Windows 8 and Xbox Next, I am out of Microsoft eco system.

 

[MarkusRJR]

Oh man Koodo (my carrier) is getting a WP8 device. I was thinking of purchasing an unlocked device but fuck that. Koodo always sells its devices really cheap.

Anyone have any idea what they'll be getting? I hope it's the Lumia 620.

Also, I probably asked that before but there's PayPal support for purchasing apps off the WP8 app store right?

 

[Frustrated_me]

Well well well: Rogers expanding Lumia 920 selection with more colours:

Haha WOW.

"Taking feedback into account" they now introduce more colors? How about go fuck yourself Rogers.

Took them only months to respond.


Edit: :lol still no cyan, good god this fucking company.

 

[Lucifon]

sounds like an Xbox live relaunch on all mobile/tablet platforms.

I think that's pretty likely. Expect to see some big changes for xbox live with the new console which will no doubt all hook in to W8 and WP8. Microsoft seem focused on pushing the '8' ecosystem as a whole.

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

I must be doing too much portrait web browsing, given that there is now a patch of lighter-than-the-rest at the portrait address bar area when I'm browsing in landscape. AMOLED burn-in?

Hey, at least that demonstrates how good the browser is, even with just IE9.

Well, at least they're not Sprint. All we have is a "by summer 2013".

That's what RIM thought.

Nokia has released another game, Flight Control Rocket. 3 games in 1 day, nice job Nokia.

edit: do not want that HTC.

 

[Ragus]

Facebook Touch Pro has been updated. Now it runs much faster and is really full screen.

As a Lumia 920 owner, I wish these were timed exclusives. Having segregation in the Windows Store is not a good thing.

Yeah that would be nice, but at least Nokia is bring their game. Also the game is pretty fun, much better than the vanilla Flight Control.

Facebook Touch Pro? Isn't that just touch.facebook.com?

 

[kharma45]

Pretty sure it is, most of those Facebook 'apps' were when I looked at then.

Is there an app solution for Google Messenger on WP8? Does Gmail display properly in IE10?

I want to try out WP8 but Google's commitment to shitting on MSFT sorta sours me from moving to WP from Android.

Too late for the new BB10 devices.

Is it Google Talk? There should be something called MetroTalk in the marketplace.

Use the built-in client for Gmail. Better do so before the end of the month, as EAS's going to get its plug pulled for consumers.

Where is the bb10 OT?

You're in it.

 

[jagowar]

I just hope they hurry up and announce what devices we will get.... I was hoping for the 920 but that doesn't look likely seeing as its only samsung/htc.

Yes Google Talk.

I'm on Verizon so no 920 yet

 

[thundr51]

Any recommendations for games that play nicely with touch controls?

So only tried Super punch out. Looking for more games myself.

 

[brotkasten]

Where is the bb10 OT?

Maybe I should make one.

Well they are right, if MS won't put in the effort to do the port which is supposedly easy to do then there's no incentive for others to do the same. Hopefully we hear more of their plans soon for their gaming on the platform as we get closer to the next XBOX unveiling.

 

[MCD]

BTW guys, grab the two free Disney games for today only:

Where's My Water: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/where-my-water/15e6bf4d-b1ea-4b21-9301-fbf27fa00c2a

Oh, cool. Glad I didn't buy either earlier this week.

 

[killer rin]

Hey, is there a lockscreen app that will slidescroll through an album or a series of selected albums on my phone/skydrive?

 

[Anton Sugar]

NextGen Reader got a WP8 update and it is GLORIOUS.

I believe Paper Shuffle lets you do this?

 

[derFeef]

It really is something else, so damn fast and tidy.

 

[kharma45]

Yeah that NextGen Reader update is brilliant.

 

[derFeef]

I use NextGen for W8 also but the mobile version is now so much better.
However, I would love to have an option that if I want to read an article it opens it in my mobilizer of choice in the first place, and not that I have to press an extra button for that.

 

[MCD]

I really need Weave in Windows 8.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

The new version of Fuse is quite good.

 

[Quikies83]

One of my lady friends is having trouble sending me texts -- she can receive mine but I'm not getting hers. We've deleted each others contacts and re-added but still no luck. I've been having to resort to facebook messaging while I'm not able to actually use the phone but despite having my notifications on (facebook account) - I do not receive messages when someone sends me a facebook message.
Anyone have any idea of something else we could try?
She is using a HTC Desire on C-Spire while I'm using my Lumia 920 on ATT

Maybe she's just not that into you.
