I found a picture of the Black update that's we're going to get in the next few months, it's go a daily pedometer on the Glance screen. I really like that idea. :)

Having a lot of problems getting this phone unlocked.

Problem was I bought it from Phones4U 'sim-free' though it was locked to EE. I never put an EE SIM card into the phone, I just went straight with a Virgin card. Obviously Virgin say they can't provide the unlock code, and EE are being shady about it.
One guy told me because it's never had an EE card in it, it won't be registered, so I bought an EE PAYG card and activated that on the phone, however the guy I spoke to tonight says they might not be able to unlock it because it was never directly bought from an EE shop.

Should I just cough up the money and get a code from one of these sites, or give EE their 20 days to 'see' if they can unlock my phone?

Also, would there be any use trying to get into contact with Nokia?
 
I bought it knowing fine well that the device would be locked, I'm not complaining about that, it's more the fact neither company are willing/able to provide the unlock code!

I think the 920 'sim-free' was an exception as it was during the time EE had exclusivity on it, so I don't think it was allowed to be sold unlocked.

Well, I rang up EE and managed to get past their horrible automated phone system! I spoke to a lovely lady called Jo who apologised that the 20 days had passed and gave me £25 off my bill and removed the cost of the unlock code. She said that the person who does the unlock codes is not in over the weekend, but it's been raised and I should get the code on Monday. She also gave me her email address so that if I've not got the code my lunchtime Tuesday I can contact her and she can chase it up.
So, decent response from EE so far, just have to see what Monday brings.

Well, it was all too good to be true. Nothing turned up on Monday and I tried to contact the EE representative I talked to by email but got no response. I've just rung up EE to get my PAC and stated my displeasure about not received the unlock code. The guy gave me the PAC and said he was going to re-contact the other representative about the unlock code, so I may receive it yet.
Although, if it doesn't turn up at the start of next week I'll have to look for a 3rd party unlocker. I've seen people mentioning fonefunshop in the thread, has the experience been good with them?

i lost my interest in black update im really curious to know what features will we get from 8.1 :p
oh by the way Julie Larson-Green said in the future they won't have three windows versions

We have the Windows Phone OS. We have Windows RT and we have full Windows. We're not going to have three. We do think there's a world where there is a more mobile operating system that doesn't have the risks to battery life, or the risks to security. But, it also comes at the cost of flexibility. So we believe in that vision and that direction and we're continuing down that path.

I applied for my unlock code from fonefunshop midday on Monday and it has just come through. I was getting tempted by the £200 offer from Tesco's cyber deals, but I'm happy again now.
 
Anyone else notice HERE Drive+ has turned to balls with route finding just recently, mines has stopped being able to find the quickest route, sometimes hours slower, it will suggest u-turns for miles and miles before it agreeing the route is quickest.

Used to be great, think it is since they added the live traffic.
 
Still find here drive great.
Its the public tranport one what ever its called, used to work perfectly. Now it says it cant find anything. Hopfully itll be udated soon.
