Pleasant surprises with Windows Phone 8 or Lumia 920 features

The first time I received a text message while using a bluetooth ear birth control device and it read the text to me and asked if I wanted to reply... nerdgasm

So glad I have never had an ear birth...

I saw my avatar do something in my Xbox game hub recently that I never have seen him do before. It made me smile.

Sometimes, it is just the little things.

Great live tile/group integration. Cuts out the people whose statuses you could care less about.

Yeah, that's a nice one. I made a group called "piagasa" (people I actually give a **** about).

Works well.

I didn't expect the Bluetooth voice texting to work as well as it does. I've never had a phone where the voice commands actually worked.


The great video quality was another pleasant surprise.

For the 920. It does not feel as heavy as I feared.
Sent from my Limia 920 using Foroplex

My 920 has been off the charger for 13 hours and shows remaining battery life at 91%.:grin:

For me, it pronounces my last name correct, doesn't butcher it. Maybe microsoft taught it spanish

everything! I was dreading the 920 when I heard that someone's giving it to me because I wanted an SIII so badly. I was pleasantly surprised and could never see myself going back to an android phone ever.

The screen is beautiful, I love just unlocking my phone to stare at it.

I LOVE the camera button. I use my camera quite a bit and on my old Android I had to power on the screen to get to the camera. Now I just have to press a button!

The OS looks great, it's super smooth, and I love how it's integrated into most parts of the phone. The hubs, the store, the apps all look great!

Speaking of integration, the social network integration is amazing. I was able to easily link all of my SIM contacts to their facebook and twitter accounts and the people hub brings it all together so nicely.

And there's a lot more I love about this phone and WP8

What setting were you on, is this a function of your bluetooth, which one do you have?

Predictive typing - the phone knows what you want to say

Ok I'm just going to say this once and only once. If I see ANYONE trolling or thread crapping beyond this post automatic 7 day bans will be handed out. Are we clear?

 

[jiayit]

Love the camera button.

And have I told you how much I love shaking my phone to see my Xbox avatar fall down?

I just discovered the voice commands and they work awesome.

Totally agree! I did a search standing next to a highway and a dude talking to me and it didn't miss a beat. Also, the battery is frickin awesome. I was having drain issues did a factory reset and battery life has been getting better and better (2 days with moderate use!). One more. My wife discovered the music search in bing. Very cool.

Your avatar. It scares me.
