That, sir, is a good idea. (Don't know why that didn't occur to me to try.) My 1020 is an international model from HK so I've never had LTE anyway. Honestly the screen is the biggest reason I want it - larger and crisper (without being the ridiculously sized 1520). In reading the forums, it...

I'm traveling in Europe at the moment so it's a lot easier for me to get my hands on a 930. I'm just about to pull the trigger but one thing is stopping me: Glance. I actually do...glance...at my screen a lot. Thank god the 930 at least has double tap to wake, or I'd really be hesitating. I'm...

I used to use Google+. Then I got a Windows Phone. I no longer use Google+. The main problem is that since there isn't a write API, no 3rd party app can really be of much use. Google won't ever develop one and the mobile site is terrible. (If you refresh the page, the content changes. If you...

In my experience, the number one barrier preventing people using Android from switching to Windows Phone has nothing to do with the OS itself... That is, it's the usual story: Lack of apps, Google Apps in particular. Whether or not it's actually true in specific cases, perception is reality...

I know I shouldn't have had expectations of winning anything, but I was number 8 in line on Saturday and the first 7 ALL won. Then I lost. I arrived this morning (Sunday) very early and was 2nd in line. I lost. Idk...just feels...not random.

I'd recommend either Podcast Lounge or Podcast Critter to get you through these trying times.

Yep, definitely have it "allowed" to run in the background and I'm definitely on wifi, both at home and at work. Don't know what's going on, but after twice getting to my car in the lot outside of work just to find nothing downloaded and having to stream instead (on a capped plan), I've now...

Well there is a version of the 1320 that has LTE on 1800MHz (see Nokia Lumia 1320 - Full phone specifications). As for the 625, GSMArena lists only one model and that model has LTE on 1800MHz (see: Nokia Lumia 625 - Full phone specifications). So, you'll need to find the RM - 994 version of the...

The best I've found is IM+. It's not ideal, but frankly there's not really much choice. Unfortunately Google has switched to a proprietary chat system with Hangouts so IM+ (and other 3rd party Google Hangouts apps) are not able to utilize all the new features. That is, you cannot group chat...

Well Daniel says yes, so I'll go with that. See the last paragraph in the WPC article about this model. (here: Are you on T-Mobile US and want a Nokia Lumia 1520? You have options | Windows Phone Central) "Being able to run the Lumia 1520 at LTE speeds on T-Mobile (or even AT&T) with 32 GB of...

Apologies if this has already been discussed (did a search & didn't find anything)... Anyway, I had been using Podcast Critter and was relatively happy (in comparison with the other Podcatchers on WP) but decided to give the new native Podcast app a spin when I installed 8.1 preview. I've been...

Re: 1520 or 1020? Not sure how much this will help but... I have a 1020 at the moment and held the 1520 for the first time over the weekend. OMFG that thing is enormous. I briefly owned a Note 3 at one point and the 1520 makes that thing look "mini". Incidentally, I also held an Icon for the...

Yeah I don't bother with the sweepstakes... Mostly use my points to pay for my Skype and Hulu subscriptions :)

To be fair, buying most smartphones in the US as unlocked and unbranded is typically not a walk in the park. I actually wanted the yellow 1020, so I got it from Expansys. Negri has other colors, but after waiting 3+ weeks for some shipping delay they were having, I cancelled and bought from...

I live and work in the San Francisco Bay Area...sooooo no. Mostly iPhones and some Android phones.
