The Official Nokia Lumia 920 Thread

Its not left out, itll be like other models where you can buy a compatible cover and use it.

Like I said all rumours etc, but if Nokia are wanting to take on the poeple going on about weight and thickness, its an obvious one to remove.

Not according to Apple.

Apple can't change anything, everything has to be compatible with the current set of apps on the store, so iOS7 will be the same boring old icon crap that iOS6 is. I also suspect they're stuck with the laughable long-phone dimensions because there's so many docks, chargers, and add-ons that the public backlash would be fierce if made it wider, so I'm thinking they can't even FIT wireless charging in the phone. But they did make a new AWESOME cable for £40 apparently, and it's MUCH better than wireless charging. :rolleyes:

Quick one, is there a way to reduce how long the notifications show for at the top of the screen? They seem to sit there forever...annoying when your gf sends you 7 whatsapp messages in one go

Thanks!
Jake

Nope, not that I know of.

Looks like a good day for WP8, Foursquare has now been released. However, there is a rumour going around that Instagram could launch with the Lumia 928 official release.

There's been a massive app surge recently I've noticed. Some really 'important' (subjective) ones jumping on board

The Lumia 928, is going to be a Verizon only. I believe the Lumia 925 is the international model.

However, we will find out more from the 14th.

Cheers mate. Been waiting for a good looking aluminum lumia so fingers crossed. Anyone here used both a 920 and an iphone 5, any thoughts?

Is there a website or something where I can see the latest apps for the WP8 and Win8RT stores?

Glaucus · 9 May 2013 at 21:31

For win8/rt you can use http://metrostorescanner.com/
For wp8 just use the MS store.

There's also http://microsoft-news.com/category/apps/ but it doesn't tell much of the story. It doesn't even show all the massive name apps.

You can swipe them off to the right to get rid of them. Slightly annoying still but gets rid of them quicker.

Im still amazed at just how well the OIS works on mine when filming stuff, its just nice having no handshake in vids, even for all the stupid family stuff.

So is the 928 a refresh or successor? The specs seem awfully similar to the 920. I miss not having a xenon flash

Nether. I dont think, as its bespoke techincally for Verizon. The 920 successor should be due later on in the year.

Yeh this, Nokia have a big conference in london on tuesday morning and are web casting from it I expect to see the 920 successor there.

doodah · 10 May 2013 at 16:37

Oh right - makes sense. Thought they had taken an HTC/Sony pill.

Brenn47 · 11 May 2013 at 15:10

Hey, HTC has just invented Live Tiles ..... oh, sorry, Blink Feed.

cu3ed · 11 May 2013 at 17:32

I wonder what Apple will call theirs?

Blink feed lol.

Brenn47 · 11 May 2013 at 17:35

I thought M$ had patented the hell out of Live Tiles?

RSR · 11 May 2013 at 20:10

Here comes the legal cases... LOL

IOS7 is rumored to have taken its design cues from WP, which if true is just irony.

Brenn47 · 12 May 2013 at 00:05

But Apple and Microsoft have a 'No copying' agreement.

And the HTC One Blink Feed is a carbon copy of Windows Phone, no matter what HTC think.
