Yes?
Oh look, it's a boring black slab, but unlike the 20 black slabs that came before it, it's fucking huge now.

Windows Phone needs Panos.
I will take a guess and say Panos doesn't even know that WP exist.
Yes?
Wth is that thing on the side for?
The silver circle? Looks like the power button.

Retailer lists mean nothing.
Wait, that's not Sony's new 6" phone? Sorry, I must've mistake it for some other black slab. They look all the same, you know?

Lumia 920: 130.3 x 70.8 x 10.7 mm
Xperia ZL: 131.6 x 69.3 x 9.8 mm
SO FUCKING HUGE !!!
Do you even lift?

has calmed down a bit.
You really like that phone, hollow, you should probably buy it.
Its not a good argument against the beauty of Nokia's current designs, though.

Like I said, I thought it was the rumored 6" phone. Either way, it looks boring. If you like boring, buy it. I did that too and now I live a life full of regret and despair. Fucking Galaxy Nexus.
Say hi from me and tell him to drop the Pro on stage or I won't buy it.
I am so jelly right now.
You get used to the weight pretty quick. What country are you in?
It's bigger than most yeah but you'll get used to it ever so quickly, and everything else feels too light by comparison.
who's beez? Lol.
Downloading. Funny I just downloaded an app called hockey now. This one looks better though and has live tile sweet.
Beez was the Manic's alt in NHL-GAF. He shrugged a lot.
US. It would be AT&T, although 4G coverage is still 'meh' in my neck of the woods.
So the share photo to facebook option in windows phone doesn't work with facebook albums, it just shares to "Mobile Photos" or something. The facebook app seems to always error out when I try to share to other albums. Are there any photo sharing apps that work with facebook albums well?

Can't afford one
And beauty is subjectieve. I find the Xperia Z ans ZL at least as good gooding as Lumia 800/900/920.Sounds like you got owned. I think there was a bug that was fixed in Portico related to a hard reset and the only way to recover it was to flash the firmware.

Dedicated camera shutter button.
Do a soft reset. Happened to me.
Boom, Nokia Laser and Catwalk coming to Verizon.

Tried that and it didn't work, just sat at the Nokia logo.
It doesn't even get to the cogs?
Nope just sat at the Nokia logo and would go no further.

It's gone. You can fix it by following the instructions here if you want: http://wmpoweruser.com/how-to-fix-a-bricked-nokia-lumia-920/
Or you can just send it back to Nokia as is. Doesn't matter, they know about the problem. Portico fixed it.
It was going back to Nokia today anyway as it was only on loan to me for a trial period, that's why I'd chosen to do the reset from the settings menu to wipe all my data off it. It's their problem now, I'm not wasting my time fixing it.
Still beats me why they haven't got round to releasing Portico to the rest of us yet.
Looks like Wells Fargo is making a Windows Phone app.

Their apps never did anything cool like scanning checks though unfortunately

Wife and I each got a Note II the other day, my son decided he didn't want a new phone. So, I figured why not get one anyway. Picked up a Lumia 920.
I'm trying really hard to like it, I actually feel drawn to it, but it's just so underwhelming. Surely I'm missing something, there must be more to it than a tile screen and an all apps screen, right? It'll be an extra phone for me, something to play with, couldn't see using it as my primary phone. Luckily, with no sim card in it still functions as a 'Zune', which it seems to be very good at.
I like the interface, most apps maintain the feel, which is nice. It's the tiles that are bugging me. I want tiles that give me useful info; free space, etc. Best I could find was a battery live tile, which doesn't seem to really be live, doesn't update itself.
Convince me WP gaf, I wanna be on the team. I'd still put it above iphone personally.
