So I've been up since 6:30AM with the little one and I'm at 76% battery life. Been on the phone about an hour and a half, listened to music on my commute through Bluetooth. Texting and email regularly. Little bit of on the clock Tweeting.
we've been waiting a long timeguys they've already said that were getting group mms this month. chill out lol my gawd!
they said the same when portico was around the corner so my faith isn't exactly highApparently reps at Verizon noted that the fix for it is scheduled for the next software release for Windows Phones. GDR2 is the likely software release that will have it. There were some threads that discussed this a month or two ago.

The point I'm trying to make is that the phone is average volume but sounds better
I wonder if Nokia will ever answer my call for a high end Lumia with a 4.0" screen.
620 is not a "high end" (512 ram, no xenon), but is an amazing phone
I'm sure it's a great phone, but like I said, I want a high end phone.
I used to think this as well (came from a Pre + and Pre 2 - what a jump to my 822). I have found that if the phone is thin enough, it isn't too much of a bother, and it is nice having the larger screen, though the 928 is the limit to the size of phone I'm willing to carry around. Unfortunately for you, and you may already know this, there is little to no hope getting a high end phone with a screen smaller than around 4.3-4.5". It is what it is.
So, some of you will think I'm crazy, but I went to the Verizon store last night to compare the HTC 8X and the Lumia 928. I use the phone more for audio stuff... music and audio books vs camera/video (as well as lots of other features).
- 8X Pros: I personally like the look and feel of the 8X better, and it definitely fits in my hand better. When I listened to the same mp3 file on each phone, the 928 sounded very tinny and the sound quality on the 8X was much better.
- 928 Pros: 32GB vs 16GB, longer battery life, better camera, better viewing outside?
So, I'm curious how honestabebread likes the 928 compared to the 8X. Is it really that much better than the 8X? Has anyone else owned the 8X and now have the 928? Thanks for everyone's feedback. It will really help me make my decision
did you listen via the built in speaker? (probably not).Were you listening to a stream from Nokia music?
I am also into audio and so far, this is the best sounding portable audio player I have heard. I am running it through a set of ath-m50s closed ear full size headphones and the music (from high quality (356kb) mp3s is so clear. The channel separation is amazing. The bass is clean and strong when it is supposed to be. There is none of that artificial soft bass boost which makes everything sound muddy. I am used to listening through a headphone amp and the 928 does not really need it (although I am sure it will sound even more awesome).
I have dabbled with the Nokia stream and noticed that some songs sound terrible and distorted and crackly(tinny) in the high end. Some other songs sound fine on there. You may want to give the 928 another try. Good luck. Just my 2cents.
I was listening through the built in speaker using the xbox music app on both. I should also note that I'm a long time windows mobile user, and am currently using the WM 6.5 LG Fathom. (I know... a what?!!!) I've really been looking forward to a Windows 8 phone, I was about to give up on MS.
Thanks again for the feedback. Somehow, I feel like this is a really big (2 year ) decision.
The only thing I miss is the 8X's front camera. The 928 is better in every way.
Abe, someone mentioned 8X audio playback through headphones was better than the 928. Your thoughts?
Mines on the way from Newegg, so I'm just reading all of your reactions of the phones
Yeah, the 8X's audio playback through a chord is much more punchy, but I have Bluetooth in my cars, a Big Jambox,and a set of LG Tone + headphones so I literally never plug it in.Abe, someone mentioned 8X audio playback through headphones was better than the 928. Your thoughts?
