The contact picture complain the OP has is incorrect. I have used a picture from mu camera roll and it has full resolution

But aren't texts/MMS sent via the network? It would make sense to retrieve the MMS from the network as well.Yeah, MMS ONLY works over ATT, NO WIFI.
I normally have my phone go to WiFi when I'm home, so I wont be able to get MMS's while on WiFi.
Another step backwards IMO.
Every phone I know can be on WiFi and still get MMS
"Battery life is pretty good. Not as good as iPhone"
Wait, what?
Sounds like you do have a bad unit, mine behaves just like as the others described.So you can send a MMS Picture when connected to WiFi??
I do not think so, I tried several times then found where someone said it was a limitation.
But after reading everyones responses, maybe I just have a bad unit.
As for Headset, put your ringing on 30/30, plug in a headset and start the music and be ready to be blown out. There is no separate media volume, I even called Nokia today about this.
I'm not experiencing the bluetooth or MMS issues the OP has found. The phone reads text messages through my speakers in my car while connected to bluetooth. Haven't tried the turn by turn yet. As far as the MMS issues others seem to be having, my girlfriend went on a rampage and send me 10 pictures of pugs earlier today. Now I wish I had these problems!
Another "I switched to Lumia and here's what I don't like about it" thread.
To recieve MMS, you have to be on AT&T network, Lumia or not. Whether your WiFi is ON or OFF shouldn't matter. The message is routed through the AT&T MMS gateway. I am not aware of any phone which sends/receives MMS through any other means. If it exists, you shouldn't be calling it MMS, as MMS is part of GSM standard. Either you follow the standard, or you don't.
Bad:
1. Weird Bluetooth, can't be connected to your car and use Voice Turn By Turn.
Also no tones, text or email work when connected to BT.
2. Headset volume when listening to music is the same settings for the Ringtones, so if your ringer is set high, like 25 or higher and you plug into a headset and start your music, be prepared to blow out your ear drums. No separate media volume.
3. No Video MMS, and No Picture MMS when on WiFi. MMS ONLY works on ATT Network.
4. No 1080 video recording. Camera takes ok shots, has some strange pink spot when you look at a all white background thru the camera lens.
5. No Vibration for Text or eMail
6. Vibration has some weird rattle when it starts
7. No real multi tasking, when you leave an app, you sometimes have to restart it. Like if your using Nokia Drive, it will not run in the background. So if you get a phone call, it looses the GPS signal.
8. Phone is kinda heavy. weighs more than the iPhone 4S.
9. Limited number of Apps.
10. If you have a Contact picture set for someone, no matter where you get the picture, when that person calls you and you get a Caller ID, he picture is blurry. I've tried using the camera to take the shot, from my computer, doesn't matter.
Good:
1. Phone is basically FREE
2. The UI is fresh and better than IOS and Android.
3. Phone is nice to hold but a little heavy. Great design
4. Has LTE
5. Call quality is very good and clear.
6. Speaker is very loud and clear, no Android tin like speaker sounds.
7. Has great Mac iTunes sync software.
8. Has enough apps to get you by, no great amount but it has the ones you want.
9. Battery life is pretty good. Not as good as iPhone, but better than Android.
10. Is totally different than anything out there right now.
I really want to like this phone, I've been posting about issues I've listed above.
I don't want to return to the iPhone, but I just don't see keeping this thing.
If your new to smartphones, then nothing on my list will most likely matter.
But it seems that this phone is a step backwards in tech. Sure the UI is fresh and nice to look at but everything else is not.
IMO of course
So I can send a MMS Picture message fine to my Wifes iPhone but I can't get one from it.
I get some text link saying Get media content now, but when I click on it nothing happens. I sent a test MMS pic, but no luck.
There is not a separate volume for headset and speaker. It is one of the things the OS is missing.

Yeah man enough is enough. Moderators either need to merge these threads or delete them all together. Anyone not happy with their device, return it, be done with it and move on..

Why? OP is listing valid criticisms and doing so in a civil manner. He's listing differences from his previous platform and asking the community if he's doing something wrong or if these are limitations of the OS.
Silencing valid criticisms and turning this forum into an echo chamber isn't good for anyone.
