The full list of markets mentioned for November for the Nokia Lumia 920 is Australia, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Thailand,  Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, the UK, the US and Vietnam.

Dafuq Thailand & Vietnam in the list but not Malaysia? Did they somehow confuse Vietnam with Malaysia?

I find this very useful for me and when I found WP lacking of this feature, I use TellMe (hold Windows logo to launch) to dial a number which really helps sometimes but my pronunciation must be accurate when screaming their names "call luckyhillkop office" and return "sorry, can't find that name in your contact list".

hehe maybe in wp8 it will work better since they claim to improve voice command massively.

What do u mean by smart dialing?

Like press and hold a number then it will auto dial to the person?

If that's the feature you're talking about, then it already exists. It's called tiles. You pin the "smart dial person" to start, tap, call. It's even faster than smart dial on Android where you need to bring up the keypad and press & hold.

Smart dialing? Is it like if you need to call Jonchai, instead of searching in contact, you can press 5 (JKL) 6(MNO) like that?

Why the heck is HTC given the lead role in wp8 launch? Is it because Nokia fell asleep again? The 8X is touted as the 'signature' WP8 experience. Even wpcentral is using 8X for their WP8 review.
*
Because HTC has been Microsofts partner for so many years. If you go to the website also 8X is the main phone there. That's why Microsoft has been focusing on 8X and not Lumia 920. And that's a way of Microsoft letting the manufacturers know that they don't have one favourite manufacturer even though they have special partnership with Nokia.

Because they have a bigger market in Thailand and Vietnam. Bigger country = bigger sales. Malaysia is too small so not given much priority. Most probably we will get on the second batch only. Hopefully that's before next year. smile.gif

New features put into short video. biggrin.gif

Sigh not good if have to wait for second batch. While they are delaying 920, Nexus 4 is looking like a great option for me. Price is cheap some more.

No that's speed dialing.
Not a deal breaker to me but a very useful feature, especially considering how lazy I am tongue.gif

Ah, okay. I was a little confused.

There's already an app that does that, though not natively, the app gets the work done biggrin.gif

Speed dailing is like Press 2 to call jonchai, press 3 to call rogrog

Smart dialing is like Press 2(ABC) to call either Aaron, Brandon and Cassandra, press 3(DEF) to call Dawson, Edward, Freddy. nod.gif nod.gif

Nah, I don't. It's too much hassle for me. I'd do a better job "criticizing" than reviewing biggrin.gif

They still don't fix/add full USSD functions I guess. Any idea if Digi/Maxis/Celcom will make apps for those stuff?

And Data Sense(monitor data used).. only the carriers can add it to the phone?

Data Sense is native. It monitors your outgoing bandwidth usage. It's not carrier bound, so no worries there.

You go in, set your limit, and leave it. It will prompt you when usage nears limit, that's about it.

As far as I'm concerned, USSD is in (according to Windows 8 SDK). WP8 SDK is not released until tomorrow, but if Windows 8 has it, I don't see why WP8 doesn't.

I think the app can monitor your Data usage and all, the only thing that is carrier bound is the Data compression where it compresses webpages according to your date usage. Well that's far as i read somewhere.

Yeah, sadly Microsoft are not promoting their features enough. Other reviewing websites are doing much better job. Don't do it half ass-ed Microsoft!

Can't remember now but I read somewhere that it's carrier bound. And it's more than just a data monitoring feature, it can automatically adjust your setting to save on your data usage when ur about to reach limit, like making wifi a priority for data etc.

I believe that's the part about the compression. If carrier, doesn't support, your data sense can make do without the compression, much like Nokia Counters
