Just out of curiosity, would placement affect its accuracy?

I stopped by a Verizon store the other day and checked one out. It's a really nice phone. If it had the equivalent of SensorCore I'd consider replacing my Icon with it...so frustrating being dependent on VZW to upgrade firmware. It should be the customer's prerogative. If *somehow* the device...

Late to the party, but will confirm that your decision to go with REST is the right direction. BTW, both json2csharp - generate c# classes from json and Visual Studio offer ways to generate C# classes from JSON.

A major issue where I live is that only Verizon has decent coverage. AT&T is okay in some places. T-Mobile is non-existent. We also have to consider our multi-phone plan. So it isn't like I can easily, affordably maintain another phone for development testing. It took Verizon so long to come out...

This is great. WPCentral has been, well, central to sustaining my apps (FN8, 7-Minute Workout and Ballistica - Search results for "stonetip, inc" | Windows Phone (United States).) and is my number one source for Windows Phone news. I'm also willing to help other developers with UI/UX issues and...

Done.

Seems like someone could get mugged while looking at the notifications. Better to be heads up and aware.

I can't wait any longer...need to get SensorCore into a new app. I got an Icon so I could test this stuff. I'll just have to do the backup/NSRT route tonight.

Looks like I'll have to bite the bullet, back up what I can and go the NSRT route.

I'd like to point out a couple things: The Android market that Windows Phone is really competing with is that portion with phones using GMS (Google Mobile Services), which is roughly analogous to the iOS market. I don't know what that percentage is, but let's say it might be 60% of all Android...

I have 620s and a 920. The form factor of the 620 is nice sometimes, but for overall usability (typing + reading) the 920 is better for me. I'm looking forward to the 929/Icon as soon as Verizon can pull their corporate heads out and release it. Having the resolution of the 1520 in a ~920-sized...

There are two places I know of near Yellowstone where AT&T will work: Gardiner, MT (North Entrance) and two miles up the road to Lulu Pass east of Cooke City, MT (near the NE Entrance). The latter is only because there is a gap in the mountains that provides a line of sight to a tower 10 miles...

I probably won't get one right away even though I've been waiting for a while to get a Windows Phone on Verizon. Mainly because I still have several months on an AT&T contract. But their service where I live (Montana) and places that I visit like Yellowstone is nowhere near as good as Verizon's...

I want to get a Lumia 900...current contract w/AT&T runs through Aug. though. May wait 'til then...and Apollo? But I do want a gyroscope now! Got to use an 800 for a bit...really nice build and Nokia Drive, etc. Although testament to original WP7 OS specs, my Focus still seems to perform just as...
