I finally tried out that Lumia Icon that everyone's been talking about. They're all over the Microsoft Stores. It truly is the iPhone of the Windows Phone world. The build quality seems fantastic and the size is just perfect. It's not too jumbotastic and it's still a tad bigger than the 920. I like how sturdy and flat and thin it is.The Lumia stuff all around is very good.
When you add a contact you should be given the choice of adding it to Google
A buddy of mine just got one and he really likes it. He is new to WP as well.

Link to snap attack for Windows 8 isn't working, great. Works fine on phone.
It works now, for me anyways.

Moving the cursor around?

Drag the small point, it's one annoying downgrade imo, the old cursor was much better.

oh no the cursor is worse in 8.1? Dammit the cursor is so good in 8, one of the biggest improvements in daily usability I noticed when I switched from ios to WP8. Man, I hear more stuff I don't like about this update like every week.

I think the new cursor system is definitely worse than the old one.
It's very difficult to grab a selection of text sometimes, especially at the bottom of a box.

The balls overlap when cutting and pasting. Why not have a ball on top for one cursor and the ball on the bottom for the other?
I didn't notice a change in text highlighting. Just cursor placement.
Cursor placemant is way more fiddly, no drama here.
Agreed. It was easier before. Not really a huge deal but it's true.

Before it was like iOS and reviewers like Molly Wood bitched about not being able to move the cursor, because she was all Android and didn't know how to do it. Now, with Windows Phone 8.1, you get the true feeling of Android on your phone.
That explains it... :/
What ever happened to her? I miss Molly.

I still can't believe they took out the film roll feature in the camera app. Seriously.
And yes, Van, the memory handling in IE11 is terrible now.

well, it's only the nokia app. The Microsoft camera still has the camera roll by default..unless I'm misunderstanding something here....
6Snap Beta is out to include the new chat feature. Video calling is coming soon.

Windows Phone 8.1 camera app
Swipe left from the view finder to the last taken picture
Pinch to zoom out and nothing happens
In previous WP versions you'd get a small view of the photos you've taken and could quickly scroll through them.

I'd always heard that Nokia/Bing maps sucked in Japan, but I only checked it out today for the first time... Wow. I hope that gets fixed by the time I make my way over there.
My friend's hometown, 150k people. This is embarrassing.
WP support for Japan in general sucks. No maps, no voice/optical translation (even though Japanese would benefit more than most languages since it can be a pain to type the characters out) and of course no Japanese developed apps for the important stuff in Japan like catching a train.
Just rent a Japanese iPhone while you're there. Or actually a Japanese flip phone would probably be a better choice than WP.

1520?
That doesn't happen on mine. But the screen on mine is super sensitive. I stop scrolling and it thinks I've tapped where I lifted my finger off.
Plus, LTE performance has been abysmal lately. What's a good bandwidth tester?
