The Verge thinks Instagram for BB10 is already in development.

If it runs as well as the other android app they demonstrated in their video review they should just stop now..

I doubt that they have more leverage than microsoft against facebook.

I do wonder if the BB10 version of skype is better whan their win8 version

 

[Nero3000]

I got a 920, company phone and for the life of me, I cant understand some of the 'features'.
I can only ever have one skype account?? I sign in, all fine, then I want to sign out to use my personal one... no option!

no google translate (or similar) on the phone? or am i blind and cant see the real app? I see there is a variant of it, but its so slow and really doesnt work too well.

guide me WP gaf, I need some help with this thing.

Camera is pretty sweet, it has to be said.
I am coming off a iPhone4 and that device catered to all of my usage.

There is a Bing translate app in the store.

Also if you use the Bing vision search, you van point your ccamera to some text.and it will translate it for you. That's built in.

RIM still has more market share than Microsoft, so that would be an argument for BB in this case.

Anyone thinking about buying BlackBerry's BlackBerry Z10 with BlackBerry 10?

Looking at the review on the Verge the UI doesn't appeal at all and seems to lack logic really.

No, it looks nice; but it too plain for my liking.

Installing 7.8 on my 800. Let's do this.

Nah, I think I might pick up HTC's Windows Phone 8X with Windows Phone 8 to play Xbox on Windows Phone games.

It doesn't seem to work with HTC so far. Odd.

There may be some glitches in the Skulls Anywhere mode. Switching between versions creates some silly moves where people move units farther than their movement would normally allow.

Weird visual glitches on the 8S in the loading screens.

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

Man, Windows Phone 7.8 looks so good on the Start screen.

Though, I also feel that apps seem to start faster...

I'm still willing to overlook this all to support a developer willing to make a sweet WP8 game.

No, he's visiting the Windows Media Center in Redmond.

Yep it is really, beats the HTC 8S hands-down in my book. It'll do the stuff that most people want (Twitter, texts, Facebook, music, internet) as well as phones twice the price.

 

[jossueinacoma]

So I'm on my 4th 8X. Everything good so far. I downloaded the Nokia Drive app, is there no way to see a list of directions? Its just a visual of where you are going......Also, wasn't this the app that can redirect you to a better rout if there is traffic...?

 

[Frost_Ace]

Just updated my lumia800, I honestly think it looks awful but the music tile is pretty awesome. Dunno if to return to 7.5 or not.:/

You'll quickly get used to it, the new Start screen is tons better.

You will not want to. :3 I've already arranged the Start screen to my liking.

Also, I think I finally had enough with the 900's camera.

No way I would go back to the gutter. Small tiles for life. Just need to be smart with how you use your large tiles. What with the music tile? Probably better than the one on 8.

You know who else has small tiles? Everyone.

 

[Blue Ninja]

I love the new start screen. Takes some getting used to, and the medium tiles are indeed comically large, but it just looks so good.

Finally ditched my blue color scheme, too, currently using steel blue and loving it. Might also use dark red, because that looks damn sexy.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

I know, but I don't need my phone tile ( and IE, settings, marketplace, etc.) taking up 15% of my screen.

Just played with a Z10, am I right in thinking BlackBerry have just copied android?? I will say it was very smooth OS, I found it quite weird not having any sort of button along the bottom to interact with, instead having to swipe from the bottom up the screen, but the phone felt nice in the hand, not my cup of tea but I can see blackberry fans upgrading.

920

 

[kharma45]

And to think the Verge rated the 920 camera only 1 better than the BB Z10 on their scale :lol still a joke of a score.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Bought a 920 online. This has been a silly ride.

Low light performance clearly wasn't the only factor considered.

They marked it down for having accurate colours and even having the OIS which is apparently too much for consumers.

It's really very intuitive after about 10 minutes with the device (speaking as a playbook user). You'll never want to go back to the archaic button and multi tasking on android/iOS.

Still shocked no one's copied it.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

I wonder what the chances are that we will see Apollo+ running on Nokia's new devices at MWC?

 

[ElNino]

Not a good start for me in our game of Skulls, lol

Async is awesome, I want more like it. It is annoying that Carcassonne is not.

Yep, async is great for this game, even though I really don't have any idea what I'm doing yet. lol

Just kidding.

Probably depends if Apollo+ is the Spring/Summer update or something before that, or if Microsoft have learned their lesson from keeping things too close to their chest with WP8 details.

 

[MegalonJJ]

Finally, the cobalt blue option is what I've been waiting for.

Too close to the chest with WP8? WP8 simply didn't have that many new consumer features. The only feature that was leaked close to launch was the live wallpaper.

Leaks are leaks. Their intent was to keep things close to their chest, which is supposedly why there was no SDK and made publicly available until just before release.

The SDK was made publicly available just before launch, because it was late, just like the entire OS. Do you need to watch the conference again to remember how much of a disappointment it was?

In terms of consumer features, Mango brought more to the table than Apollo.

Yeah, the OS as a whole just feels a tad snappier (possible for me those are Tango updates that did that has I upgraded all the way from 8107 yesterday).
