    Facebook/people hub notification filter?

    Is there any way to filter the posts from Facebook users that I do not want to see in my people hub? I am able to do it on my Facebook webpage, but the filters there don't affect the people hub or Facebook beta app that I use. I'm pretty tired of all the game updates from some of my friends...

    My Rogers Lumia 920 came back from repair in working but worse condition...

    So I tried to do the factory reset through the settings, when doing so my screen froze on the "spnning gears" screen. After searching the forums and attempting hard resets etc. I was not able to get it to come out of the spinning gear screen. So, with my 920 being under warranty until October...

    Can I purchase a T-Mobile 521 from Wal-mart and unlock it right away and use it in Canada?

    I'd like to know if I can do this. My friend is going to the US this weekend and wants to pick up a couple of Lumia 521s. He wants to make sure before he buys them that they can be unlocked right away. The bands are perfect for him to use on Mobilicity here in Canada so its a great buy (if he...

    Wow.. the 520 has to be the best deal for any smartphone

    K, I was one of the first to get the Rogers Lumia 920s when it launched, I've had it since late October 2012 and I love it. But my wifes Samsung Focus (i917) is dated and she spends more time with the kids at home so I am giving her my 920 to capture those candid photos. To replace my 920 for...

    A nice review on the Surface RT...

    I thought this was appropriate and definitely a nice breath of fresh air from all the negative reviews. Just shows off how nicely and productive the Surface RT can be. Microsoft Surface RT is a great gift for college and high school students | ZDNet I Likey.

    I'm set on getting the Surface RT, but why haven't I bought it yet???!?!

    Yup, I have to order it online since I have no pop-up store or MS store near me. The 64GB Surface RT has been sitting in my shopping cart for the past 2 weeks now and I look at it everyday. Heck I've even already ordered a Zagg full body kit and the Sandisk 64GB microSDXC card off amazon.. This...

    720p vs 1080p on a 10.6" screen (Surface RT vs Pro and others with 1080p)

    So, I know I might start a huge debate here in regards to 720p vs 1080p, but I think its a good thread to start to see what everyones view is on this matter. I've seen a lot of grumbling about the 720p capability of the Surface RT being sub par compared to the iPad retina display and other...

    Which should I get? Samsung 500T or Microsoft Surface RT?

    So I've nailed it down to these 2 options. Samsung ATIV 500T 64GB; Intel Atom; Windows 8, Keyboard dock and stylus included. vs Microsoft Surface RT 64GB; Tegra 3, Windows RT, Touch Keyboard Cover. The differences between the 2 in terms of cost to me is $50 (more for the ATIV 500T). I don't...

    I want your honest opinion on the Surface RT

    So I am looking at picking up the 64GB Surface RT. I think the Hardware is beautiful and being a WP user I am wanting another MS product to nicely compliment my L920. I've seen so many mixed reviews on the Surface and Windows RT in general. Mainly lack of apps being the biggest flaw, but to me...

    Thoughts on what tablet to get???

    So I am looking at getting a tablet for my wife and myself. This will be our first tablet, my wife was given an iPad 2 this past spring from her work, but we gave it away since we are "anti-apple". Anyways, I have a pretty good PC that we use for all major things like Photoshop, Gaming etc. So...

    Apples new iPhone 5 and their "Gates"

    Well, after hearing how Tim Cook had to apologize for the fumble of the iOS6 Maps I find it hard to justify it if the Apple crowd doesn't demand more than just an apology and a "try other apps" solution from him.. Seriously? If it had been Nokia, we'd have a $100 reimbursement for this blumber...

    I don't hate Apple, but my friend is making me hate it.

    I don't get it. I have no hate for Apple products. I think they were great, I have never owned an Apple product tho, but I have use iPhones and iPads of family and friends and the experience was great. But I love my Windows Phone. And that is a problem I guess. My friend is truly an "Apple...

    Thoughts on Gun Bros?

    Just downloaded it last night, played for a while. Not sure I like the free games where you have the option to spend $ for items tho. (read on for my reason why lol) The gameplay on my Lumia 900 was pretty good, smooth, fast and fun. But on my wifes 1st gen Focus it was a little slower to load...

    My review of the Lumia 900 after owning a 710 and Focus

    All in all I am enjoying my Black Lumia 900. Before this I had a Nokia Lumia 710 developer phone, it was good, but it was just a tad small @ 3.7". Before the Lumia 710 I had a Samsung Focus. No phone is perfect, the Focus was great with its expandable memory, AMOLED screen and being in the...

    Called Rogers this morning, the tech there said they expect the update for the data issue to come out tomorrow... hope he is right. In the meantime, I was able to restore my data by cycling power a few times. Has anyone received the update yet with Rogers? He also mentioned that sometime this...
