Whatsapp for Windows 8 (ver 2.8.10) has been released. Just go to whatsapp.com and the link will open the Store and you can install/update. Just seems like a temporary fix and not the full fledge rebuild of the app for Windows Phone 8 .... ohh well.

Why so long? Anybody got insider news?

Waiting for the news as well....
Need it on Maxis.

Hopefully they learn lesson well from the disastrous ip5 launch.

Was not affected but pity others only

what happen actually?

Lol. Maybe I should utilize it too, haven't tried it before tough. Ahaha.
Yeap, pre-ordered mine about a week back. Was actually looking forward to the matt grey / cyan
but apparently msia wouldn't be bringing them in. Bummer. So had to go with the white.
Wanted a change as I've been using android all the way & I'm not a big fan of apple. (No disrespect intended, apple's a cool brand). To be honest, I'm an apple virgin. Hahaha. So how's lumia 920 going for you so far?
You do own one right? I'm guessing yellow?

Yes, yellow color with a white wireless plate charger (long story). The phone has been quite good other than the battery life being on the sucky side. One day it will last the whole day and another it can't even last till 2PM. This morning I dropped it from 5 feet or so ... stupid stupid me and the polycarbonate sheel seems to take the impact well but there is a little dent (not very visible unless you really check it). My iPhone would have shattered the glass back at least if it fell from that height. The phone got really warm today and I suspect because I downloaded an app called Facebook Touch and I'm guessing the app is not optimize for WP8 yet, the battery went down from full charge to 87% in 30 minutes. Everytime the phone gets warm, you'll know that one app is really going haywire.

As for Apps, I am quite happy with the phone. I have most of my iOS apps in there or something that does the same thing as my iOS apps. The screen is just beautiful, the text are not washed out and if you're long in the tooth like me, then the ability to set the contrast (the text becomes super clear) is a godsend. The camera is outstanding and I've been using the Nokia Creative Studio to fix the daylight softness issue (1/3 or 1/4 adjustment on the slider should do the trick). I'm pretty sure that Nokia will come up with a fix soon (and that's probably why Portico is still not released yet for Nokia phones compared to HTC).

I didn't notice the weight probably because the iPhone 4s is only 40 grams lighter and I do put the mophie juice pack on it from time to time which makes the 4s a damn brick. Some of my friends has mentioned that the phone is slippery but I didn't feel it's that slippery, in fact I'm quite used to it. Maybe I have spiderman fingers.

I use Whatsapp and Skype a lot and Skype is rock solid, the implementation is better than the iOS. Whatsapp on the other hand is okay. The UI is not so good as the iOS and Android version, if you attached a photo, it just puts the thumbnail in the same rectangular box as the text which makes it look really weird and you really can't make out what the photo looks like because it makes it look really small. But it's okay lah .... it does its purpose but I really hope the revamp the entire UI for WP8. The annoying sound that comes even if you are using the phone to listen to music is still there so they need to get rid of that because that's a WP7 legacy.

I wish the sound management is better. I used my iPhone a lot in the car and the device can tell if I am using my Beats (thus it will slide the volume automatically to my headphone settings) and it will slide it to the max when I'm using it in the car auxilarry connection etc. WP8 can't even control the ringing volume vs the music volume which is absurd to say the least.

Anyway, overall I like the phone. The icon based UI is getting old. Let me know if you want to know anything else.

nokia lumia 920 wireless charging pad is fuking expensive -.-

I bought a Lumia 900 at RM999.00 for my kid in the recent PC Fair with bag, pouch and umbrella as free gift, well they clear stock....after trying out the phone, very nicely build and solid, but, to my opinion, Noikia and WP is no 3 in the phone and OS war now, pricing the 920 at RM1999.00 is too far fetch as far as marketing is concern ( don't flame, jz my opinion), it shld priced it lower to grab the market share from IOS AND Samsung, then slowly go up the market share ladder. RM1500.00 compete against S3 alike will be more strategic.

As such, now I know the pricing, the high price has just help me to decide between Note2 and 920, sorry, Nokia, at least I support u with 900 modal, but I skip this one. Good luck.

How much is it in Malaysia?

Malaysia price still dunno yet but amazon also sell $80++usd
convert to RM also about RM200++
i think i will just purchase nokia lumia920 when nokia announced without the wireless charging pad.

I bought it for SAR245 (around RM190 I think).

share some pictures from your lumia 920 la bang !

What are you doing in the Saudi ? O & G ?

I will try but the other day I tried uploading some photos and the forum could not accept it. Maybe because the file is 3MB? I've put a couple in my Flickr account so you can check that out.

The office blocks any upload to the net so have to do it at home and when I get home I'm usually busy with the kids' activities etc. We'll see.

As for what I am doing in Saudi, well check out the O&G Thread in the Jobs section and you'll know lah heh heh heh.

Price is just right for what features it has. For me it's probably number one which tops the iPhone 5 and S3.
From how it is now, Nokia is already losing tons of money, no need for them to lose more.

It is relatively new/less popular technology, thus the hefty price tag.

It will eventually get cheaper after China successfully cloning it it getting more popular and more competition from other brands.

BTW, I don't see those ifags/samfags complaining that their casing/covers/SP that cost hundreds pricy?
