Thanks!
Just got the free version and it seems great. 9 euros seems a bit much for the paid version though. Hopefully it goes on sale sometime.

Seconded! Best news reader IMO.
Hah, yeah. They got it right in the browser. Shit I'd actually like it if the interface for background apps looked the same as it does for the tabs in IE.

Uh, guys.......you gotta try this. This is frickin' magic.
I wonder if I can get a friend with an iPhone or Android to pull up the web site on their phone, scan the code on their phone and then proceed to control their phone using mine. HA!

As far as I can tell, all you can do is re-size the picture, no? I don't see a way to show off multiple pictures, just to beam one photo. It would be great if I could then proceed to run a slideshow on the person's screen like you can do with DLNA. Edit: Nevermind, once you beam the first pic, you can then scroll through the other pics in the collection. Pretty neat. They should add a way to back out and then show just the pics you want. As it is, you can only go in sequential order once you beam the first pic.
That's pretty damn cool.

The best part about the magic photo sharing app is that it's getting ported to 7.5 by the end of the year. Mmm hmm...
Oh, and it also stealth-confirms that 7.8 is next year for Nokias, too.

I just tried it on a co workers Note 2. Works. And it was hilarious, especially not telling him what I was doing. New favorite thing to show off now.
lol, I like how you already have a second request ready once you found out Nokia have foreseen the first one *Insert Louie CK gif*
I love what Nokia is doing with the camera apps. Might be worth getting the Lumia 920 just for taking pictures

Red and black look really good together...but I want different color for my desk charger. First world problem surely.
Oh, can't find that picture beamer on marketplace :-

You know when Samsung has "made it" when they attract the kind of hate that Apple is famous for.
I'd love to, but I can't see it in the marketplace
EDIT: Oh, I have it.

I used wpcentral link in their article and it take me to download section on marketplace. Doesn't work on desktop web search because app is limit to Lumia.I'd love to, but I can't see it in the marketplace
Pretty much. S3 is not cheap garbage. It may not be unibody hard shell like a Lumia but it is in no way cheap garbage.

They are all made of polycarbonate. I never understood why the Lumia's polycarbonate was some special mythical bulletproof plastic but the Samsung's polycarbonate was cheap garbage. Either people don't know that the plastic is the same, or they are confusing the chintzy glossy plastic appearance the Samsungs have with the actual build quality, and the Samsung devices are known for being durable in real-world uses. I've thrown my old Galaxy Nexus across a room before against a wall and nothing happened to it.

saw a video about myths in halo 4 and they proved that if you get a nokia lumia 920 ordinance drop to hit a mantis it will blow up the mantis so that is a pretty strong phone

You are right it is the cheap plastic chrome and fake brush aluminum front that make the S3 look like garbage. Only the back cover I think is polycarbonate plastic.
They'll probably fix it soon enough. Not something I'd return a phone over. Even if it takes lets say a month that's still a short time compared to how long people use a phone. You could try to get by with other messaging services for the time being. Like Facebook chat, Skype, GroupMe, SMS, ... (or carry an old phone running whatsapp over Wifi)
I wonder if an app like Whatsapp could make use of the new Windows Phone 8 features. It's not a VoIP app like Skype, but that level of integration (always on, integrated into contacts) would be nice. (with Skype you can go to a contact and directly message them using Skype)

Nokia dark magic.
Now try it on someone else's phone. Pretty cool. Say something like, "assuming control". Really cool little app.
It works with any phone? I'm confused.
yeah. Just tell them to pull up photobeamer.com on their phone, scan the QR code on their browser, and then proceed to swipe through your photo album on their phone. Crazy sounding just typing that.

Hey, does anyone know if you can do NFC Transactions using the wallet in Canada? I have the 920 and am with Rogers, but when I open up the hub I can't see the fast cards section or see any mention of it in the settings.
... do I need a specific Sim Card or something to enable it?

Oh I get it. I thought you meant others could beam there photos to the site too.
What you're talking about sounds really awesome too though. Cool way to show people photos.
Can they actually swipe from their phone ... or do you have to swipe on yours (like with the site)? If it's the former ... holy shit that's nuts.
You swipe on yours, moves on theirs.
Ahhh okay. That's still awesome.
I was going to say, if they could swipe on theirs ... I'd start to wonder if antiquegamer was onto something with his Nokia dark magic theory
yeah I barely watch tv and I have seen 3 or 4 or them. And then of course Windows 8 ads are every 5 seconds.

I've only seen one Windows Phone ad on TV in my life. And it's Nokia.

It is, but I don't have cable TV. For 7 bucks I can watch a lot of shows and then shut it off during summer month. :/

I think I said my stuff a but too early.
I just saw a taxi with an HTC 8X plastered on one side... And the One X on the other.

Is the photobeamer app region exclusive? I can't seem to find it at the apps store. I have the 920. I don't really know how to install it manually. Please help ^__^;;;

Slow store rollout. It's not instantaneous.
Also, PhotoBeamer is coming to the 710, 800, and 900, too, before 31 December, 2012.

Did you scan the tag at the Nokia site that was linked earlier?

I wonder how much free space you guys leave on your phone.
Me, I try to keep at least 4 GB of free space (enough to record a video as far as the file system allows) + reserved space.

It wasn't in the North American region when I got it either.
I used the direct link from withing the WPCentral app. To be honest, that's where I get a lot of my apps from.

And news on Photobeamer for Android? I feel like I'm missing out.
Does Nokia make an Android phone? Get that and join the fun.

I don't know. They started making iOS phones, an Android version might not be too far off.
