    The "app gap" between WP8 and Android/iOS isn't as big as you might think...

    I use radio streaming apps because the area I live in doesn't have a radio station of the type of music that I enjoy. Also, spotify allows you to build custom playlists such as an "80's" playlist of only single songs that you add to that playlist. So, you can go through and pick the top 100 or...

    Nope, it's been pulled and from what I've read they will have a new version available early this next year that's comparable for wp8.

    Man I like this phone. I just miss spotify. I'm trying Xbox music but it doesn't have a good way to add a single song to an existing playlist that I can find. :( From what ihear tho, spotify will come soon.

    Ok...quick question....

    It did update them all, but I have since added a few contacts that I had a phone number for to Facebook. Now I want the people hub to update those contacts with their Facebook info. That's the part I can't figure out. How to get the phone to update those contacts.

    Ok...quick question....

    So I finally got my 810 last night...sweet! When I set up my account it pulled in all my Facebook contacts pics and info, again sweet! So I added in my contacts that I don't have on Facebook and then proceeded to add a few of them on Facebook. So here's the question, how do I get the people hub...

    Lumia 810 or 820 or 822 ???

    I can tell you that the Houston, Tx area is almost completely refarmed or modernized as we call it. Dallas is in the process as well as several other cities across the US. But Houston is the closest to being finished. :)

    Ordered From Microsoft Store Online

    I'm thankful to be working for such a company..the discount I get on my service is amazing and makes my bill next to nothing. I worked for AT&T for almost six years and the discount they gave employees was almost nothing. My mom who works for a small hospital in Arkansas got more of a discount...

    Ordered From Microsoft Store Online

    I didn't get it at their cost....I get a sizable discount off their cost. It actually depends how long you have worked for them on how much discount you get. Some people who have worked there for several years get two phones a year for free. I'm not one of thos though.

    Ordered From Microsoft Store Online

    I bought mine outright without a contract and paid 225$. But then I work for T-mobile and that's one of my perks. :) That is not the tmobile cost as I get a sizable discount from the tmobile cost for being an employee. The size of the discount depends on how many years you have worked for them.

    Thinking of returning my 8x for a 810

    I went to the store yesterday honestly with the intention of getting the 8x...after comparing the 810 and 8X side by side...the screen even tho lower res on the 810 blew away the 8X screen and made it look dull and washed out. I was VERY surprised.. and after reading all the reboot and light...

    The 8x had a rubberized texture and felt fine, the 810 was more of a hard plastic but seemed more durable and less scratch resistent. I can't really comment on the weight of each since they had them in the anti-theft claws of doom. :)

    So I went into the tmobile store today to compare the 8x (which I was leaning towards) and the 810...I walked out of the store, came home and ordered the 810. I held the two side by side and here is why I bought the 810. While 8x is a nicer looking phone, surprisingly the 810s screen is by FAR...
