    This was my first smartphone

    Such good memories of the Lumia 520. I could not believe for the little price how good this phone was. In fact I still tell people today that in the affordable end of the market, Windows phones are an excellent option. Mine eventually broke down and I was aware of the app disparity between...

    Your thoughts on Lumia 1020 vs the just announced Galaxy K Zoom

    Well Samsung has just announced the Galaxy K Zoom and I must admit that it looks mighty impressive to me. 10X optical zoom with a 6 core processor and sporting a slimmer overall frame than the S4 Zoom. Removable back cover too to replace the battery. And also xenon flash with a 2mp front...

    RANT-The increasing stupidity of smart phone enthusiasts

    I'm sorry, but I just have to rant and vent. I am becomingly increasingly disgusted at just how stupid and airhead grown men and women are becoming over smartphones. To me, smartphones are becoming something like followers of Justin Bieber. A teeny bopper performer for an immature audience...

    Question about PPI and battery life

    I've been reading about the OPPO Find 7 with it's quad HD display and the confirmed upcoming LG G3 that is also to have this. About 540PPI. On any article I read when I scroll down to the comments section, I always see some people lamenting about these ultra high PPI displays. Lamenting...

    The title says it all: nokia 1820 | Noreve - Haute Couture for Mobile Devices And you can see that if you type in Samsung Galaxy S5 Zoom, it also says "Coming soon"-just as the rumour mills have suggested for both this Samsung and the Lumia 1820.

    I have to be honest-love Nokia and Windows but considering LG G3

    Hi all. Well, I have made a number of threads regarding Windows OS and Nokia phones. I have just the lowly Lumia 520, but no other manufacturer gives you so much and does so well for the price. So I decide to upgrade. This is where some of my doubts started. I absolutely loved the idea of...

    Put together your dream phone! Blueskying

    If you could go into fantasy land and have any sort of phone, what would you have? That is by putting a phone together from bits and pieces from all manufacturers, including upcoming releases. This is mine. Firstly, I absolutely love the blocky look of the upcoming Lumia 930 and it's slim...

    No one has posted a thread about this-anticipated battery performance

    As the title says, no one has really given much thought about the anticipated battery performance of the upcoming L930. I am a little cautious as all the rival brands with their newly released top end phones and soon to be released phones, (perhaps except Apple), are sporting batteries 2800mAh...

    How about a radical idea for Microsoft/Windows phone-would this be feasible?

    Hi fellow WP fans. I remember an advertisement for Dell computers once where you could order a computer with specifications to your choice. They advertised the benefit of custom orders for the consumer, as opposed to just the usual shelf options. What about a radical concept for...

    Something I just realised about Nokia - see if you agree.

    I was debating with another poster on another thread regarding which Nokia phone was the "flagship" model. Then something suddenly occurred to me. I know this is really blindingly obvious and almost laughable as I state this, it's just that I never really realised it. It occurred to me how...

    Confusion about Cortana release (Australia)

    I am confused about the release of Cortana on the L930. A number of websites states that Cortana will be a feature of this phone upon release in Australia. I know that Windows 8.1 will be out of the box upon release, but is it true for Cortanta too? Or do these Australian websites have it...

    What is this feature?-"Papyrus"

    I was just browsing the specs of the Lumia 930 on Nokia's webpage and came across this under "Software and Applications": Papyrus: A natural handwriting note-taking app that you use just like paper, but with the flexibility and advantages of modern technology. With Papyrus, you can go beyond...

    Ideas for upgrading 1020 camera

    I just replied to another poster in which was suggested upgrading the camera on the Lumia 1020. Which got me thinking-what would you suggest to upgrade the camera? Considering it's the flagship of mobile phone imaging and continues to be, even will new competitor releases. I have 2 ideas...

    1020 successor-How about a more practical upgrade rather than all the blue skying?

    Well as some of you know, I had a Lumia 1020 for a whole 2 wks before returning it because of battery issues. Correction, 2 Lumia 1020's, both of them the same battery issues. A 3rd one in the store right out of the box had again the same issue. There is a lot of speculation about the 1020...

    My experience with battery depletion on the 1020-right out of the box

    Hi everyone, this is my first post on this forum. Last year I bought a Lumia 520 that made me a Windows phone fan instantly. Ever since the Lumia 1020 came out, I drooled over the 41MP camera and waited for the price to drop. 2 wks ago I bought a yellow one at a saving over $300 from the...
