    Downloading Albums from Xbox Collection...

    I apologize if this has been posted before but I couldn't quite find an answer... I added a bunch of albums from my Surface and desktop into my Xbox Music collection and I seem to be only be able to stream them or download the tracks one by one. The only work around was deleting the album from...

    Does this cause your 1520 to reboot?

    Just ordered from Singapore to Canada, you are making me worried I'm going to have the rotten luck of a bricked device BNIB lol

    Using the international version of Lumia 1520 (RM-937 ) on T-mobile USA?

    Rogers uses band 7. I do not specifically know what Bell and TELUS offer, but I am sure a Google search would give you the answer you seek on those other carriers! :)

    Temple Run 2 loading speed?

    About 20 seconds on the Lumia 920 as well. I'll test it on my 1520 tomorrow too, I just think it comes down to optimization on the platform as a whole rather than a device by device basis. :)

    For any interested Canadians..

    These very words sold me on buying the phone on eBay. I was worried Rogers would be bitchy about the nano-SIM on an import device for some weird reason lol

    Value of a Surface RT

    I was lucky enough to grab it for $200 shortly after launch from one dude who just got his girlfriend pregnant. I don't feel bad about it all. Anyways on topic, I am thinking about getting my 1520 to augment my experience, not splinter it. Big screens everywhere for me!

    BBM isn't coming to WP after all

    Oh it will in the coming years when Microsoft buys this burning corpse of a company for all their patents and shutter the company. For now, I am more than happy with KIK.

    ATT 920 - Still no updates!

    Same thing ROGERS in Canada. Pimped this phone to high heavens last winter, and now the 1020 gets updated before the 920. Good to know where priorities are with our Telcos.... GRRR!

    Selling my Surface Pro 2 to purchase a Surface 2.

    Where you worked is perspective. What the market decided for Microsoft is fact. Money doesn't lie, my man. I wasn't trying to belittle you in anyway, brother. Please don't take it as such.

    Selling my Surface Pro 2 to purchase a Surface 2.

    That's a great deal of perspective rather than fact, my friend. The reality is the Zune had its time in the market place for a number of years and failed to find traction amongst consumers, regardless of what iterations happened. Microsoft didn't bury it. Windows Phone evolved their platform and...

    Selling my Surface Pro 2 to purchase a Surface 2.

    This is the right attitude for now. He has to do what is best for him right now. That being said, how many things has Microsoft killed that made it to retail that wasn't given a chance to mature? I have a hard time thinking of anything except the Kin. RT needs more time, better marketing and of...

    Selling my Surface Pro 2 to purchase a Surface 2.

    Good call on coming to the ranks of RT. If you don't have any desire for legacy apps, you'll love what RT can do. I was in the same position last year, and "downgraded" from a pro to an Surface RT. Aside from occasionally messing around on Steam, I don't regret pocketing the extra couple...

    That moment when you pull out your 1520

    I wish my 920 was that lucky. I dropped my 920 on GRASS after leaving the bus and cracked the screen. And don't get me started on my 900 cracking after dropping from 8 inches high -- pocket to retail floor. Ugh. Heres hoping my 1520 lasts longer when it comes in the mail.

    Anyone want a phone bigger than 6 inches?

    I would go as high as 6.5". I need a big phone as I have man hands, love media and desire for people to see me with something different. A bigger 1520(1530??) in yellow is highly appealing to me. ��

    Turning off phone without using physical buttons

    Ahh this is sadly a no win situation. I'm going to have to buy a replacement housing+buttons and hope for the best. Thanks for everything guys!
