i got mine unlocked red 920 (the first few in the UK when it came out!) for £549 I believe or around that.
why would you sell it? idiot
TBH iam getting bored with it i get like that with phones and windows phone hasnt grown on me as much as i thought.
Microsoft really needs to sortout the notifications the toast pop up will appear for a few seconds then disappear with no indication that there was a message there.
Biggest killer for me is that whatsapp on windows is a disgrace freezes slow , tells you there is a message when you go to read it its not there. It`s not just whats app i have tried every other client as well they are all the same which makes me think its a windows related problem....
Think i will try the BB z10 or q10 next ..... at least you get your messages with BB lol
You're making out that it's WPs fault that Whatsapp doesn't work very well for you. I'm pretty sure that's down to the developer of the app.
It won't be for everyone though so I'm not going to try and persuade you otherwise.

Mines doing its first reset now, having been an adroid guy for ages and dropping custom ROM's on there I've decided as its had a few updates to do a full wipe, its been going for just over half an hour so far with the spinny cogs, how long is this meant to take :lol:
As for the guy above moaning about WP, I get it, I think, personally I prefer Android but I wouldnt say there is anything wrong with WP/N920, its a bloody good phone and WP is OK, I have no doubt it'll improve more over time, they do need to get some decent app dev's on board tho as the number of apps is what lets it down, down to the point that I would actually put it below iOS as at least there are shed loads of apps on iOS where there arent on WP :/

Near an hour, still got the cogs..
I would say do a hard reset but I don't want to bork your phone...

Well its been going since about 8:45, and it still cogging now :lol:...

Ok, just hard rest, now I get the dead battery icon and it switches off, plugged in for a while, see what happens..
Battery was on 97% when I started the reset process...

What issues are you having with Nokia Drive? I works perfectly well for me.
Soldato
Mines now jumped back into life, and guess what...
cogs... :facepalm:
cogs... :facepalm:
What's wrong with Drive? I think it's fantastic!
EDIT:
Try this;
- Hold vol down and power until phone switches off
- As soon as it vibrates hold volume down
- Should get ! on screen
- Input key sequence 'vol up, vol down, power key, vol down'
- Phone should reset. See if that works.
EDIT #2: Thought I better clear up that the above reset will clear all data and restore the phone. If you just want to do a hard reset (without wiping data) then you press and hold power + vol down.

Like i said its not Just whats app but every other messaging service on WP8 is the same people complaining that they get messages and there not there etc once they to go the app. slow opening freezing etc
I tried it etc and as you say not for everyone , the live tiles have grown old on me to rather quickly amazingly.
They should never have got rid off zune as the app for music sync etc as it was far better than what we have now ....

I was aiming for a full reset anyways so no worries about losing everything, phones back now, just reinstalling all my apps, I didnt get the ! bit, it rebooted a few times, said nokia, rebooted, nokia, reboot and so on, then I got the battery icon again, plugged it in rebooted now working, weird..
Well basically, it looks really nice (love its layout), its smooth/etc, however its ability to plan/recalculate a route is about on par with a satnav from 2007. I know its free but so was Navfree and its planning abilities were vastly superior.
An example is that to get from North Wales to Colchester is very simple, you drive east along the A55 until it becomes the M56, then turn onto the southbound M6, follow it until it becomes the M1, then clockwise around the M25 and up the A12. Google can tell you this with ease as can pretty much any satnav made in the last 5 years.
However Drive insists on taking more scenic routes whatever setting I use and to top it off If I don't follow its detours it often fails to recalculate, I.E I missed a turn off into the void it wanted on the M6 and it actually told me it couldn't find a rout between there and my destination O.o
Strange. Glad it's sorted though.
