Finally scored a red 920!

Still weeks away here :'(

MCD · « **Reply #122 on:** December 11, 2012, 02:33:19 AM »

It's OK. The more you wait, the better it will be because OS has some nasty bugs (HTC = freezing bug which just got fixed today and shit battery with the Lumia 920).

Our carrier here has a bug where text messages over 160 characters dont get split and get charged as an MMS which isn't included in our cap plans, so you pay extra.

My battery on my 920 is ace

Sucks for others out there. But I can get by on an average day and still have anywhere from 60-75% left

It dies after like...4 hours of use on 3G for me. Because the coverage around my work and home place is shit.

Mupepe · « **Reply #126 on:** December 11, 2012, 10:35:25 AM »

good lord. Yeah I'd be pissed. Mine also doesn't seem to get warm like other people have been experiencing.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #127 on:** December 13, 2012, 05:54:38 PM »

Got mine yesterday. Only issue I have is that it isn't synching some of my podcasts, and podcast support in general sucks. Otherwise it's awesome.

MCD · « **Reply #128 on:** December 13, 2012, 06:00:27 PM »

You in Australia, correct?

A nifty feature in Windows Phone 8 ( and Windows 8 ) is the ability to switch store regions by a flick of a button. Just go to settings and change local region to the US. Reverting back is possible with whatever apps installed still intact and working.

I don't follow Podcasts but the US store should be better overall.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #129 on:** December 13, 2012, 06:45:38 PM »

Yes in Australia. Tried that but it's still giving me the local store. Unless I'm doing something wrong.

MCD · « **Reply #130 on:** December 13, 2012, 06:48:46 PM »

Weird, it should work:

pilonv1 · « **Reply #131 on:** December 13, 2012, 07:00:38 PM »

That's annoying. Some in the comments are saying it doesn't work either, wonder why?

MCD · « **Reply #132 on:** December 13, 2012, 07:12:57 PM »

Hotmail account region related, perhaps? Or the language used in the phone?

pilonv1 · « **Reply #133 on:** December 13, 2012, 07:33:17 PM »

Might be hotmail. Language was English US. Could just be some of the software the local carrier has put on it.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #134 on:** December 14, 2012, 02:04:37 AM »

24hrs later and I'm still drooling over this screen. Total god-tier shit

pilonv1 · « **Reply #135 on:** December 27, 2012, 06:59:18 PM »

Been two weeks now and besides the above mentioned podcast situation and the lack of some games like Caracsonne that I play against friends I don't miss iOS at all. Taken some awesome photos as well.

Switching to this for work phone, Verizon only so 822 or 8x. Kinda torn, leaning 8x

Beezy · « **Reply #137 on:** January 03, 2013, 02:42:40 PM »

8X and lumia 920 are the only ones you should ever consider right now.

MCD · « **Reply #138 on:** January 23, 2013, 04:52:36 PM »

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #139 on:** January 24, 2013, 12:19:23 AM »

8x = 1280x720
822 = 800x480

not a tough decision, broseph

Reb · « **Reply #140 on:** January 25, 2013, 09:55:18 AM »

Thinking about the 8S for my girlfriend.
