It's fun to see how everyone considers the 1520, gets it and ditches it again.

Bandwagoners!
Yeah, it's not been mentioned.

Have they mentioned if there will also be a limit on how many apps are able to run the new background tasks (for non-Silverlight apps)? Or now that tasks are more specific and intensive tasks are only run when plugged in there will be no limit at all?

I wonder if I would think the 1520 was too big if I hadn't put on like 20 pounds myself in the past few years. Phone for fatties? But it works for me. Fits in every pocket even with a bulky wallet case, I can type and use it one handed, and talking on it looks fine. Guess I have a big head.

Will this be the case for anywhere it is sold, or exclusive to a specific retailer?

Oh one thing that is still disappointing about the 1520 and now about WP8.1 is that they didn't announce new bigger tile sizes, so apparently I'm still going to be stuck with this home screen that looks like a Japanese website from 2008.

Yeah I was just hoping that these new phones would have a chance at coming to Sprint
le sigh, now I just need to move an 8 line, 16 year long Sprint contract to a new carrier...
yeah, not happening. fml.

Dammit, I want a new phone already. Sucks that Apple and Nokia have moved to Fall for their flagships. Also disappointed with the S5 and M8, I'm not tempted by either flagship.

Wait until you can use anime chicks as background for your tiles!

Hatsune Miku here I come!!!!
Nah, I just don't like it. Using a phone with one hand is more important to me that I realized (for example, sitting on the bus holding a coffee in my other hand)

Yeah, Japan used Geocities layouts until just recently. I started working with a big Japanese company on their English-language website in 2008, and it was so damn hard to convince them that they needed to change absolutely everything.

Any feature they can.
Premiere WP carrier...blocks features, doesn't allow phones with Qi, has zero 5inch quad core phones to Verizon's two.

Does anyone want stickers that look similar to this:
I've got ~50 or so of them. They're about 2inches by 7 inches, guesstimate.

I'm actually looking for something else, that is still Windows Phone 7 Series related, though.
Can I annoy you a bit more?

I'm down if you're up for international shipping.

Honestly, I think one of the killer features of Cortana is going to be that we can use her with just text if we dont feel like talking in public. That should be pretty cool.
This does sound pretty awesome. I've always been impressed by the contextual interpretation of Siri, but I despise actually talking to make use of such funcionality. Cortana seems to have this issue covered, though

I'll jump in on it, if you dont mind shipping to Ontario. Those stickers look awesome.

anyone that wants one can shoot me a pm with their info. They're small enough that international shipping isn't prohibitive.

I just got one... Why is everyone ditching it? Came from a 920.
So I turned my 625's brightness above low and onto auto (was getting 3-4 days battery on low-medium usage and thought a higher brightness would make the experience outside nicer) and noticed both the medium and high brightness settings have major light bleeding on the bottom right corner. This is kind of annoying. The quality of the LCD is definitely worse than the 520.
People don't like the size? That's what I'm getting out of it.

Semi OT, but
I accidentally'd an Xbox one, and wow, I'm really impressed. For weirdos like me that actually like windows 8.1, use windows phone, use one drive, subscribe to Xbox music and live in the US...the machine brings all those together.
Skype with the in laws was amazing, they were raving about the quality and being able to see all the kids. The tv integration is great and I was watching an NBA game while the kids spoke to their grandparents. Xbox music brought over my collection, and played videos when a song I own has one available, which is smart. Gaming....I'm not much of a gamer anymore, so I don't care. I'm selling the titanfall code to recoup some of the cost of the console. I'll buy some games in the fall when I'm done with school.
Two things that need to improve: the out of box experience still sucks. Huge downloads for everything. Also, I need more apps and 3d blu ray support so I can sell my ps3.
I want even tighter integration with windows phone, like the ability to share my screen on the console.

Plex just announced they are making an app. Universal Apps will be enabled later in a dashboard update so after that, hopefully the number of apps won't be an issue.
EDIT: Announce is a bit wrong, a dev on the forum said they were given the go ahead by MS.

Have you sold the code yet? Hire much do you want for it?
