Happened to me with a friend on Verizon. Maybe its something on At&t's system.

Hopefully it means sprint will be getting in on the action soon too.....

Sprint already said they'd get Windows Phones in Summer.

 

[PG2G]

And neither of them will be Nokias unfortunately

Hopefully the new Verizon Lumia will find its way to T-Mobile too.

Exactly... only samsung and htc are known currently (and still don't even know which devices are coming). Hopefully if this rumor is true nokia will be putting cdma hardware into their devices which would make a sprint lumia more likely. I really want a 920 for that camera but my carrier is more important than any phone (ting which is sprint by proxy).

They are already CDMA capable, they just need to be enabled and the corresponding antennas used.

Think this is referring to a new Lumia or the 920? I'm in the UK so the Verizon part doesn't bother me but the thought of a new one hitting soon makes me slightly concerned with my planned Sunday contract upgrade purchase!

I'd imagine the 920, or a variant of it. I can't see Nokia bringing out a new phone to succeed the 920 until the autumn at earliest.

There's been rumors of an aluminum body 920 and a 20 megapixel with IOS Lumia.

BTW, ministry of sound app for wp8 has been out since December.

Steve Jobs would have never let this happen.

Is this what you're seeing?

If so just click on the link below the white box and it'll re-direct to mobile YouTube, where for me at least it plays fine.

 

[H13]

Yeah, I guess that's one way, thanks anyway for replying
I wonder if chrome will be release,to this phone..

 

[SCHUEY F1]

I would say 0% chance of that.

Edit: I think IE10 works pretty great.

It's one extra click unfortunately as it takes you through to the actual mobile site but it's never really bothered me all that much.

I got a little quirks such as no forward or return Button,hmm maybe its just me,btw UC browser which at the app store works great for an alternative browser.

Return button just use the back button, as for the forward button easiest thing to do is to use the overflow menu and use the 'recent' option.

hmm okay then
the 'loading youtube page' make the interface not so great.
why the OS just make the youtube link become a link,and not a page?

Not sure if new but Hockey Nations PP is out. Never seen it before. Pretty damn good too.

http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/hockey-nations-pp/39774f08-2e59-4786-8a3a-4e938e24de43

$3.99 is a bit steep though. What is with the inflated pricing of WP games?

While you're checking out games, Robotek is pretty great as well.

Heh, downloaded that too. Had it before on Android, really cool game.

I had to try and recover stuff from a Windows Phone 7 last week. Sucked. So it could be worse.

Still bad.

I have been trying to use the gs3 more but I just hate it. #1 I associate it with work and #2 it fucking sucks. I have come so close to breaking it... It's so lucky I didn't pay for it.

Check out Chimpact. Simple game but looks really good and fun, a bit of DK Country style to it.

Love that WP app tax.. sigh.

That's not a bad game. Might have to pick it up.

Will the calendar stuff only show on the tile or lock screen on the day of it only?

Is there a way it can show a week out?

 

[HollovVpo1nt]

I guess Topolsky finally gets his Windows Phone 8X with Android

 

[kharma45]

Why has HTC moved the home button :|

Long-press menu key will bring up task manager. I guess that's more important home in Android lololololol

 

[VanMardigan]

I get banned for a few weeks and the conversation turned to BlackBerry taking third? Lol

 

[HollovVpo1nt]

That's the only thing you noticed ?

By the way, I think I might be lucky again. The Lumia 920 I ordered got cancelled by the retailer because it was an error.. but I got a 150 euro coupon from them. Now I've found yet another 'deal'. Vodafone is selling the Lumia 820 on contract for 11 euro's a month/ free Lumia 820. Total cost of contract: 187 euros lol. Ordered 3.

 

[VanMardigan]

Did I miss anything else?

Also gotta agree with the props for next Gen reader in the previous page. Best Google Reader client I've ever used.

Also, I'm trying to figure out which of the fitness bands have a decent third party app available. Anyone her use fitbit? That's the one I think opens up their API.

Fitbit is supported by runtastic endomondo and a few more, just not on wp.
