No these days smartphone is smarter than owner why?
U buy clothes for your phone, u buy battery pack for your phone, you buy car charger for your phone, you buy apps for your phone I think you are helping the phone not the phone helping you haha.

Battery run out must find charger or power source. Your phone say thank you smart a** worker haa

Battery beep red I need food
Worker you : your wish is my command

So both ways u work for your phone in return it work for you?  Haha

ahaha dont sound that smart then haha

are you sick dude? Please see a doctor dont start a flame here before i flame back as well. I dunno why you asking everyone act not so smart? that is your claim not mine. I am  only saying the the definition of smartphone vs human usage by the definition of smartphone. I do not mention anyone name only you claim it defines everyone here.

If you are sick please see a doctor. I am not a doctor i cant help you.

dont sound that smart then does it says anyone ? Please stop making own claim because it sound like you are on purpose starting a flame.

Try google the definition of audio vs visual before creating your own assumption.

I don't know how you think, but I buy clothes for my maid, buy food for my maid, buy mattress for my maid, simply because I want her to work for me.

Same applies to your car/house/washing machine etc.

That fact is your definition dont twist its a general reply not you twist until you want condemn everyone please be clear this is my explaining not the statement twisting by you.

I see you've been welcomed by aspire2006     

Hahahahaha ... I couldn't care less actually, but the ignore list is useful. I got on his bad side when I said the price mentioned was cheap and he went ballistic as if saying that insulted something within him ... first time I've encountered such a person. I spend most of my time before this in the iPhone section and I have never .... ahhh who cares ... life is short and getting annoyed by a Note 2 troll is not worth one lick.

So Emery, are you planning to get one? Which color?

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.

umbrella???     

It works that way actually.... The device will be turned on whenever it is charging

Similar to iPhone if I'm not mistaken. Guess nowadays phones are like that? 
Or maybe you can charge first then shut it down...?

well, if you wish to completely turn off the phone while charging is not possible for all WindowsPhone, can simply turn on the flight mode.
