So I received my black Lumia 920 on Saturday, locked to an EE contract, and here are some thoughts so far:
The phone and camera are lovely - probably the nicest I have ever owned. Low light camera performance is fantastic, and the flash is the best I have seen on a phone that used LED.
I haven't figured out how to extract gifs from it yet, but the gif creator is a lot of fun. (Skydrive seems to just have the photo uploaded.)
EE are crap - it's been nearly 48 hours and they stll haven't managed to activate my sim. Oddly I can make phonecalls though, but I can't even register for 'my EE' online. Rubbish.
Mac syncing is atrocious - currently the microsoft windows phone app will NOT sync music.
The vibrate function sounds like it is chewing nails.
Transfer of contacts form an iphone that used icloud was painless using the bluetooth 'transfer my contacts' app - much easier than mucking about with various cloud accounts.
Finally, the Nokia apps are great - maps in particular is better than anything that isn't google, and certainly beats apple maps into the ground. The ability to download the entire UK as well is also highly appreciated.
Does anyone know of any good guides /switcher guides for windows phone 8?
In settings, lock screen, there is a 'screen times out after' setting - is this what you meant? Although just playing around with it, you appear to be entirely correct in that it doesn't work!
EDIT:
Oh and I ordered from P4u online. There was no sticker to redeem the charger and no included speakers. Spoke to P4U and they have confirmed that I can use the nokia redemption site from the 16th for the charger, and they will apparently send me the speakers after 28 days - did anyone else actually have them arrive with the phone?
Anyone else had it?
