    The Carphone Warehouse & Windows 8 Pro Upgrade Offer

    I finally got my code too. I had a missed call from them today, phoned them back and luckly the information was on my account, so he was easily able to give me the code rather than having me explain the whole thing and getting a random answer back. Anyone still waiting, make sure they know you...

    I've not heard from them. I'll give them a ring if I don't heard by tomorrow morning.

    Where are all these back plates?

    Anyone from the UK found anywhere that sells these yet? Amazon had their release for 28/11 but has changed to shipping from 1-3 months.

    At least our stories are beginning to match up now, with our best hope being this SMS.

    The Carphone Warehouse & Windows 8 Pro Upgrade Offer

    I've just been to store. Lucky got the manager, he didn't seem to know anything about the unique code, after looking it up discovered it should have been on the box, and that I'd have to email customer services about it. I explained I had already emailed and called, without getting anywhere, so...

    It's ridiculous. One excuse after another. There's nothing in the terms about any of this rubbish. I'm going into store tomorrow and try again. I'll report back.

    There should have been a sticker on the box, containing the unique code. You have to wait 14 days after purchase before claiming

    I didn't get anything with mine either. I emailed them, waited 3 days without a reply. So called them. She didn't know what I was on about but. Then when she found out I had it delivered to store told me I'd have to go there to sort it out. This sounded like she was just trying to get rid of...

    Anyone preordered from Clove or Unlocked-Mobiles?

    I feel for you, having such a hard time getting hold of this phone. I picked up my white 820 on Monday, it's lovely. I defiantly recommend it over the black, but you can always buy the white charge shell, if you're going to have a long wait for the white over the black.

    IE10 on WP8 - font looks blocky

    Yes, I think it's more standard webfonts like Arial and Verdana that look bad. Google fonts/ font-face seem much better. These fonts seem much thicker on my 820 than my iPhone, resulting in having to zoom in to stand any chance of reading it if they are on the small side.

    IE10 on WP8 - font looks blocky

    Hello, I just got the 820 and loving it apart from having to use IE10 on it. The fonts looks pretty bad, blocky and I need to zoom in to read it. I'm coming from iOS and I'm a Mac user so I'm use to nice rendering fonts in webkit browsers (mostly Chrome.) I saw some negative comments towards...

    New member looking to switch from iOS

    Thank you all for the kind welcomes. I can already see after a short time that this fourm has a great friendly community. Microsoft have really taken me by surprise with Windows phone 8. It looks modern and the transitions are really beautifully crafted. MS are the only ones pushing it. Apple...
