For the 925? I though it has aluminum uni-body construction. I know you can get wireless charging shell for it just like the 1020.

it's supposedly an easy mod and the phone's internals allow for it without much complexity.
it's in the wpcentral 925 forums.

I thought that was one of the rumor feature.
I hope it has different body than the Icon, that phone was not really confortable to hold. I hope it also retain Qi and compatible with At&t LTE.
App and Game data stored on SD cards
Apps on SD Cards are only allowed from ONE originating phone. If it detects that apps from another phone are installed on the SD Card, then it will ask to delete those first

I'd rather have 16gb + SD than 32gb.
That way I could finally have most of my music on my phone.

I'm disappointed that it's not a 3000 mAh battery.
Pay attention to the source of those 930 speaks. It is NextLeaks, not someone more reputable like evLeaks. The tweet with the specs also no longer exists.
They also claim that in September we'll be seeing a 1525 with 2K display and solar charging beneath the screen.
Could be possible I guess? But no proven track record.

I think I want the inevitable ATT version of the Icon, which I assume will be 6 months after the Icon was released.
Yep. That's what I want badly. Getting tired of this absurdly huge Lumia 1520.
Things I'm really curious about with 8.1 (apart from how things that have already leaked will work):
- will there be a significant upgrade to the store?
- upgrades to the built in apps like mail (will it be brought in line with W8.1?)
- UI improvements to IE11 (again, will cues be taken from W?)
- will they make it easier for alternative browsers to appear on the platform? If so, how long will it take Brot to finally code a Dolphin HD clone?
- will the settings page be updated/uncluttered?
- will there be an alternative to entering a pin to unlock the phone like a pattern (ffs!)?

The plus side of waiting so long for this update is that the developer beta I'm gonna put on my 1020 should be super stable. Also, its a toss up whether Cortana will work where I live, despite me being in the United States. If it doesn't, that will certainly take away a key platform feature and selling point for me.
If it doesn't at least work in the US and UK at launch, Microsoft should be hanging their head in shame.
I'm not saying that localisation is easy or cheap when done properly (I know for a fact that it's anything but), but for a company of Microsofts size and ambition it would very embarrassing if they didn't manage at least that.
Really they should cover all major languages and regions (English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Chinese, Russian in various countries) at launch or very shortly after and the niche languages (Scandinavian languages, Dutch, Japanese etc.) within 6 to 12 months.

The voice stuff that has been in WP since 7 still doesn't work in Dutch so I'm not going to hold my breath for Cortana. The actual TellMe service is used by almost all customer service hotlines so the tech isn't the problem. I just hope Cortana isn't region locked somehow, I use all software in English anyway so I don't mind if Cortana speaks English.
I hope the settings page is fixed and the addition I want is picture password from Win8 over pattern like Android.
Looks like I'll be getting a 1020 at this rate. I'm going to need a replacement now that the flash has died on my 920 and I'm not interested in the rumored 930 or the ginormous 1520. It's surprising how much I was usingthe flash on my phone as a flashlight. I really miss it.

I sure hope the 1030 doesn't take a year to release after the 930 like the 1020 did after the 920.
The SoC in the Lumia 1020 is like 2 years old. I can't imagine buying that phone right now unless you don't care about anything other than cameras.

82 mega pixels.
I hate logic! It's the thing that ruins all the things!
I guess I'll see how I feel about whatever Nokia announces on the 2nd (apparently they have a presser at 4pm after BUILD) But I want dat tru pureview camera!

Yeah, after the Galaxy Nexus I've become wary of buying phones that almost or more than a year old. My GF desperately wants a Lumia 1320 for reasons I still not know, but since she doesn't want to use any data on the go, I'm getting her a Toshiba Encore or Dell Venue 8 Pro. Since these tablets are still cheaper than a 1320, I thought about getting her a 620 or 820 as well, but these devices are already EOL and who knows when the support is being cut off.

For fucks sake, Nokia.
If I had known about the wireless charging mod for the 925, I probably would've bought that one, rather than a 920.
