I have not had to back-out from whatsapp once I click on the notification banner. The message does not appear instantaneously (probably a half second delay) but at least it is showing. Previously, I will have to back out and sometimes quit whatsapp before the message that was shown in the notification banner appears.

just wondering, after the update, does your whatsapp notification delays? because sometimes mine delayed like 5 min, one time delayed nearly 30 mins....

Is the new version much better than the old? I still hope this new version is just a stop gap...still hoping for them to rewrite for wp8 and make use of fast resume + lock screen notification.

The app is a bit faster than before and as I mentioned, at the moment (touch wood), the notification seems to be working fine (though still a bit delayed by a half second). I also hope this is a stop gap measure to make it WP* compatible and hope that the update the UI. The huge rectangle box needs to go ....

I have an iPhone 4s and I will do a test (chat between myself heh heh) to see the notification delay. I usually switch off my 3G and when I switch it on, then I will get the notification so let me try and do the chat between 2 pohones and see about the delay.

can the apps developer make a separate app for each app?
For example, one app for WP7's platform and one for WP8.
Really hate using whatsapp on WP7, so slow! vmad.gif

I doubt they have the resources to develop 2 different App for one ecosystem.

I am contemplating changing to a WP8 phone. Since you have migrated over from Android and iOS which is also what I am using, perhaps you could advise on the pros and cons of your present toy over the previous ones. Thanks.

I got this not so much coz its WP8 but coz this version by Nokia has better build, body, character, exclusive apps and great hardware. Can't say the same for both my S3 and Iphone4.

Playing with it for a week or so, here's what i can gather:
1. Apps are more integrated. Good example is People App combines the best of whatsapp, social networking sites, emails, and phone numbers into one convenient place.

2. Nokia apps are awesome. Together with Office, its Drive and Maps are 2nd to none and even has voice navigation no less. All free! The other stuff like cinemagraph and city lens are great to have too. AFAIK, no one else in the market has this kind of bundle.

3. Nokia Music not available in Malaysia, but I understand previous nokia phones sold here have it, so just a matter of time? My UK set removes all features once detected I'm in msia, so limited to own music you upload into it. With this app fully enabled, the 920 is da bomb.

4. Nokia Pureview is not bad, but its not to say damn good. I understand a software update is coming to rectify this issue mainly for daylight shots. Low light and image stabilization capability is the best of best.

5. My Android S3 lags quite often even after upgraded to JellyBean. 920 smooth.

6. Windows apps still lacking in quality and quantity for sure but otherwise the 920 is more than functional enough for most people's needs!

7. 920 got character I reckon. Its the color options and build quality that mostly enticed me. Iphone has very outdated design now.

8. Battery life on S3 now is very bad. Dunno, but last time my korean LG batteries got pregnant by itself. So its probably due for change.

The thing to take away is that I'd prefer a great phone that serves its purpose at doing things great. Everything else that could be done better in a tablet (I have galaxy 7.7, ipad mini and ipad2) or laptop should stay that way. Its a smartphone after all and to make it a be all and end all for everything may not be practical or desirable.
After all, how much of the stuff in the phone do we actually fully utilize anyway.
