I second this, i almost died when i saw the stains... not very visible but if you view it in a certain angle then you can see. Not sure what caused it though, the phone has never been to a damp place =/ but whatever it is, i've stopped using the silicon case which comes with it already because somehow, the one that i had the earpiece hole is not align properly

Cyan user here since February, bought on the 2nd day of launching -.-

should've report myself here earlier.

Nokia news release yesterday that the recent roll out on WP7.8 on certain devices and continents are for Developer's machines only and was not meant to be end-consumer release.

The final stable version of WP7.8 will be pushed out as scheduled, next year January.

but this one right, is the glass still gorilla glass?

ah, yes. the worldwide shipping excludes Malaysia. Dayum -.- thought can replace my current one with this @#$%.

true, but they never specify which country first.

if i'm not mistaken, when they launched the previous latest 7.5 firmware update, Malaysia is one of the few last countries to get it so i'm not surprised for the 7.8 that will also be the case.

whatever it is, though i'm very excited to get the new home screen because i will no longer have a very looooong home screen hahaha but other than that, the vital improvements isn't much so yeah, doesn't hurt to wait.

the new home screen from the looks of it is great because it's like having everything on one same page, sorta like what can be seen i Android and iOS however this is better because of the various sizes, giving it a not so "dead" look. then again, the iconic gap on the right side of the screen is no longer there =(

perhaps the "other features" that i'm really looking forward to try in the 7.8 firmware update is the Bluetooth transfer. That will be utmost convenient. sad thing is that, there is still no orientation lock -.- i can't even read stuffs properly when i'm in bed

no mention on the improvement of camera thought, 7.8 is more to a cosmetic upgrade than anything else =/

Funny how the Lumia is not as durable as how it was represented eh? Mine has minor cracks on the side of the glass when i dropped it from the waistline level whereas those videos posted on youtube shows even being rolled over by car, the phone remains intact -.-

Probably the one they shipped over here has poorer built quality?

Anyway, your issue. The touch screen doesn't work meaning to say it's not responding to gestures or it just doesn't power up?

In any event, if you bring your phone to a Nokia Store for repair, you can ask for a temporary phone in which you'll get the same model for temporary usage until they passed back yours. This is however subject to availability.

They don't have a spare Lumia 800 to lend huh

In any case, good luck!

Let's hope they don't come to a conclusion that whatever damage to the phone is cause by the drop =(

i don't think there's a "best browser" for the Lumia, in fact, i don't think there's any "best browser" for any smart phone for that matter.

"Best" is just a description and it varies from user to user, so as long as the browser does what you want it to do then it's a good browser.

What are you actually looking for in a browser?

by "audio...not load enough lor..." you mean the ringing tone emitted through the speaker located underneath the device?

force update, meaning to say it wasn't through Zune.

Yeah, without 3G turned on the phone could last up to 3 days (with very minimal usage).

I used to get less than 10 hours but after the latest update on the firmware, now with 3G on, moderate usage of Whatsapp, some internet browsing, rather frequent Facebooking (via the "Friends" feature) and email pushing (hourly), 1 to 2 hours talk time (on average), my phone could last me at least 14 hours now.

I'm afraid of battery being drained but not to the extend like yours having to turn 3G off.

Regarding the heating issue, mine only occurs when i browsing the internet and nothing else.

Why is the Whatsapp notification "very bad" to you? I think it's fine to me.

if i am not mistaken, turning Battery Saver on automatically cuts off certain "push notifications". I know it definitely affects emails but i believe it is also affecting Whatsapp and other data consuming processes. This accounts to the reason why Whatsapp notifications only works when you turn off Battery Saver.

can you teach me how to Dev Unlock my phone too T___T

ok! thank you very much. request already sent. pending their approval.

i am particularly impressed by the housefly shot. to be honest, i am still baffled as to how to get a good focus for macro shots especially when the object i intend to shot is small (like the housefly), the lumia 800 seems to have a hard time doing so

if you search properly from ebay, the supplier will supply you the tools together with the screen replacement.

get those with good reviews.

that's the same method that i have been using for macro shots but it does seems a little bit :stupid" at times hahaha and because of this extra steps, i sometimes tend to loose out on opportunity shots and whenever that happens, i just want to throw the phone on the concrete floor -.-
