Lumia 830 or Bust

Today is the day! It's also my wife's birthday and kids' first day at school. But they don't have a forum for that, so I'll be back here later.

I am guessing but if the apps are designed for 64bit then the 64bit processor should take advantage of the extra bandwidth and run faster.

A 64-bit system is just capable of using more memory. A lot more memory. Doesn't (necessarily) make it faster though.

 

[rhamblet]

Sort of correct.

But in 90% of cases a 64bit CPU means a wider memory lane and thus faster latency/more bandwith.

So excited.. it is just less than an hour away! Hope it is SD800 not SD400.

OH no. Snapdragon 400

this phone is the biggest delusion i ever got from nokia. Beautiful, nice camera, intercambiable covers, sd card.. and same CPU of a 130€ phone. For a price that will be around 400€ (they said 330€ + taxes). Really a shame.

Yeah what a miserable fail!!!!
Gflops
Adreno 305 19-21
Adreno 225 28

Fillrate
GP/s
305: 0.8
225: 2.8
MTri/s
305: 80
225: 125

Yay slaughtered by a 2yr old phone
Bunch of no idea monkeys

I agree. There was a little too much spin on the "affordable flagship" statement. It's cheaper, yes, but look at what's given up to be cheaper. Particularly the screen resolution and processor, those are some flagship no-nos.

That 735, however, makes for a pretty interesting consideration for a secondary phone...

Did daniel rubino lied to us? or maybe he just got the wrong info

 

[Rick_Air]

Yep, just been reading the other articles and the ability to say "Hey Cortana" that the 830 wont support is a shame.
Probably go with the 930 in this case and have to make do without Glance.

 

[Shobin Drogan]

Really bad move by Nokia. May as well not released the phone at all.

As much as i appreciate all that Daniel does and shares with us here....
is nobody going to call him out on his tweet yesterday claiming he knew that it was and what it wasnt?
Was that why he put a winking smiley at the end of the tweet - meaning he didnt mean what he was tweeting?

No point just store it away next for next time there are doubts about WPDang.

Also think it's pointless. Maybe Daniel misunderstood. Maybe his sources misunderstood. Maybe his sources didn't know what they thought they knew. Journalism is not a hard science. If Daniel had all the information first hand, he'd be working at MS/Nokia and always under NDA.

This is only a problem when it occurs frequently, and it's worst when it happens deliberately in the form of click bait. That doesn't happen here at WPC. Based on his track record, Daniel definitely deserves a pass for these very infrequent hiccups.

The thing is, DR gave a pretty hard answer. He scoffed at and put down another tech site which turned out to have the correct information. I'm hoping things clear themselves up, or we get a "well guys, I'm not perfect" from WPC - it wouldn't bug me if he weren't so hard on other tech outlets all the time.

Professional Jealousy is pretty funny.
