Nothing has been announced, but there will surely be 8.1 devices in the spring/summer.
I'm a AT&T customer with the 920 as well, hoping for an AT&T copy of the Icon myself (5-inch, 1080p, quad-core, 2GB of ram).

Not at all. Kellie and I can take your place. I will need you to keep me up to date though.
Not an expert but I believe it's just like the US: carriers rule there. And Nokia isn't relevant in Japan so it's hopeless unless they buy Fujitsu or something.
That's because WP8 didn't launch there. They stopped after shipping one Windows Phone 7 IIRC.

In Microsoft's world, Japan doesn't exist.

is Japan some kind of popular dish? Like tofu or kale or something
I think it's what they speak in china.
ffs
Will be an interesting read over the Christmas holidays.
I tried it but it wouldn't stream subtitles to my TV.

I use it, but:
- Even on max volume the sound is really muted compared to any desktop player
- It doesn't play flv (and the other flv player on the store is kinda sucky)
- Does not support play to with the default renderer, and the renderer that supports play to does not support subtitles.
- If you switch the render the default render gets broken and subtitles stop working too, you have to reinstall the app to fix it.
- Some mkv videos do not play on it.
- Some mkv videos take an eternity to skip to a certain timeframe.
None of these happens with VLC on desktop, so if the metro version is the same should be a nice improvement.
I've been thinking about making a WP app since WP7 launch, just never had the time or the idea. I finally got around to it Monday night, got some more coding done this afternoon (way too nice out yesterday to stay inside and code), and I have a first functional build 
This is fun when I'm not pulling my hair out

Why not just dev-unlock your phone for free using AppStudio. Then you can push your apps to your phone in Visual Studio and ignore the emulator altogether.
I'm just glad that the emulator is actually really good. I have to use the official Android emulator for an Android class at school and it makes me want to smash my laptop every Monday.
I'm using it, but sound doesn't work on one of my .mkv files.
Watching an opera without sound may be preferable to many people, but not to me.

I considered it, seems like it'd be pretty annoying to do though. I am due for a new PC anyway, mine is pretty damn old lol.
I always use the device to test my apps on. I prefer it to the emulator. all you do it choose device on the drop down box (where the choice of emulators are) and remember to have the phone connected and unlocked when you run the build.
its better to have it tested on the phone as it gives you a better understanding of issues.
You need to have a talk with the Surface Pro team.
Visual Studio with the Windows Phone emulator kills Windows update.
I'm running Visual Studio and Windows 8 through Parallels on a 13" Air, so I can't use the emulator either. So I use my 521 instead

Its not all that annoying.
In Visual Studio next to the Debug button, click the Dropdown arrow then select Device. Then Visual Studio will remember that and you wont have to set it again in the future.
Then when you click the button, make sure that your phone is plugged in via USB and unlocked and the screen isn't off, at glance, or at the lockscreen. A trick is when your entering an extended development session, go into settings and set your Screen Time out to Never (or 30 minutes if Never isn't available) that way you dont have to do the "o-shit its not unlocked" dance.

has calmed down a bit.
Will your 1520 fit inside? You'd be crazy if you didn't at least look into that.
LOL. I knew I posted this I just couldn't figure out which thread. Obviously wrong thread.
edit: side note the 1520 is ridiculously big. Can't even squat with this monstrosity in my jeans.

I was at Microsoft store today and two people were upgrading from their iPhone to Nokia 1020. I ask the guy next to me why he finally take a plunge and his answer was the apps situation seems to improve greatly especially with instagram. He did complain about beta instagram both Microsoft clerks and I at the same time tell him to get 6tag. He was like 6 what??!?
Oh and I have people at Microsoft store beat when it comes to being fanboy, they all used iPhone prior and one switch to Windows Phone after 7.5 Mango while the rest didn't get Windows Phone until 8. I told them I was all in since 7.0 without cut and paste. Though it does paint a bleak picture for Microsoft.

It's Castilian for 'Ham', isn't it?
So when do you guys think we'll see another 1020 like flagship for WP? Seems like Nokia only wants to talk about Nokia X right now, do you think they'll come out all guns blazing when the MS deal is final or will it be the end of the year before they release another Pureview iteration?
I'm asking because I've seen the 1020 for £330 and am considering picking it up as to use as internet connected camera.

I would be very surprised to see a successor to the 1020 before October or so.
I'm still very happy with mine, unless you're into gaming and need a faster processor for that or unless you absolutely can't do without a 1080p screen it's definitely worth picking up. 330 is a bit steep though, considering it's now over half a year old.

Goldfinger (Lumia 1030??) and Martini (Lumia 930) are the next two Nokia flagship phones. I would expect a similar time frame to Lumia 1020 and 1520. One is probably late summer (August), one is fall (November).
I hope to God when Microsoft takes over they are done with this carrier exclusive BS for Lumia. HTC 8X is the only thing that gives me hope because MS endorsed that phone and it hit 3 of the 4 US carriers mostly unchanged. (Verizon had to get the wireless charging exclusive).
I really hope we start seeing companies like HTC, Samsung, and LG putting WP8.1 on their flagship phones too now that there are no button requirements.

Take some of mine, I can't take a picture without the flash going. Turned it off in the Nokia camera app as well as the native one and the flash goes off everytime.

does anyone else have a problem where the dac (i'm assuming) messes up when playing music and causes the file to sound like it's a lower quality than it actually is? as if the bit rate has been reduced. it rights itself if i skip track a few times but does happen often.
is this a known problem with windows phones/lumia 920? if not, any idea if i'm covered as my phone's about 1 1/2 years old now (or however long it has been since it was released).

Not, definitely not.
Probably just OS/Software announcements at BUILD and hardware announcements sometime after. Lumia 630 is ready to go based on the amount of leaks and press shots
That happened on my 920 once or twice. A reset will usually fix it.
