Last time I was at the Mall with both an Apple Store and Microsoft Store, there were more people in the Microsoft Store. People were walking out of the MS store with purchases, whereas, those coming out of the Apple Store did not have purchases. Guess they just went there to play with the...

Read the same article--on my Surface RT tablet too. I was thinking the same. Two tasks: I was using that just the day before. I loved it since I was entering some physician info onto my contacts and having BOTH tasks open was wonderful. Otherwise, I would have been flipping back and forth...

Re: All Those Switching from a Windows Phone to another device (including Windows Phones), Post Here Ditto

Hmm. I'm viewing this site on my Surface RT. It does take a little longer than my laptop to load, but it does load. I have noticed on occasion that the touch screen isn't as sensitive as I'd like, and recently had a couple of times when my wireless mouse didn't work. I closed the browser and...

Happy to say I had a different experience in 2 AT&T stores I visited. Both times, the sales rep was very enthusiastic about WP. Last time I was in, I was looking at the Lumia 920 and the rep pulled out her HTC 8X and compared the 2 phones. The 920 and HTC 8x display was in he front of the...

Thinking of waiting for the next round. Not available for full upgrade yet, so I would plan to buy off contract. The only thing that holds me back from the 820 is the 8GB of internal storage. Thanks for all the great feedback though. I like how the 820 feels in my hand though.

I have Skydrive app on my ipod touch (4th generation) recently updated and on my Samsung Focus. On Ipod touch (and my brother's iPhone 4) app is read only for files. On Focus, I can edit my office documents. My brother told me this was the difference since he has an iphone.

Read the thread " Yellow Nokia Lumia 920 Really Stands Out- Especially in Public" (sorry, don't know how to link to that thread) thread. It talks about dust under FFC. It looks like Nokia addressed the problem in their recent models of the 920 (920.3 was referenced). I hope this helps.

Thanks all for your input. Call quality and camera were my two top priorities for a phone, and it looks like L920 is the way to go.

Can I still use Bing Maps on an L920 if Nokia Maps doesn't have great coverage in the area? I am guessing that it covers my area fairly well (in Seattle area) since it's a big city. I get lost very easily, and Bing Maps has helped me most of the time. I have a Garmin in my car, just in case...

Thanks. I am currently on Windows Phone (Samsung Focus) and like the ecosystem (am typing this on my Surface RT). I was mostly worried about build quality and want a phone that can produce acceptable pictures/videos for spontaneous situations (if I know I want good pictures, I bring my Sony...

Better to buy at Microsoft Store with Assure plan or just go with AT&T (off contract)?

Thank for all the input. Since you have both phones, which one is better for taking "in the moment" pictures and videos? I have two kids and sometimes, I just don't have my camera with me when those "moments" happen. Call quality is a big thing for me because I had to give up my HTC Titan...

yes, I do have LTE where I live. That is a nice feature, but I don't surf the web too much on my phone unless I am without wi-fi. I'm trying to decide how important LTE is to me. How do the cameras on the two phones compare? I likely won't be taking a lot of low light pics (and if I know I...

Trying to decide between the Lumia 920 and iphone 4s. Planning to buy off-contract. Those that have had the L920 for a while (esp. if you came from 4s) are the problems posted on the threads in the 920 forums as prevalent as they seem? I've been lurking over on iMore, and it seems 4s...
