Actually, you can use your own email address (not necessarily hotmail or outlook) to be your Microsoft ID. I don't have a Hotmail account and I actually use my yahoo email as my Microsoft ID on my Lumia 820. But if you have Hotmail, it's better for the seamless integration. I can also link my Gmail account to my Microsoft ID to receive emails from Gmail.

But Gmail Calendar doesn't seem to sync very well. But it's ok, as I don't use much of it.

I think it's a normal usb to mini usb cable since I used my Samsung usb cable without problem. Any IT or camera shop should have one.

i saw Daiso also selling, but not sure whether reliable or suitable or not.

You cannot change covers for the Lumia 720. Those wireless charging covers for Lumia 720 are just clip-on types to the back shell of the unit. For the same reason, the battery is not removable.

dis is science liao... dull black is a bad reflector of light, deswai it absorbs and retains heat better.

How often do you expose your hp to sunlight? If not often, colours do not matter in this case.
Heat moves from one place to another in 3 ways: conduction, convection, radiation.

The heat issue that affect our Lumias are generated from the motherboard and reach the casing/cover through mostly conduction. Colour has no effect on conduction or convection. They only affect heat transfer through radiation (eg, sunlight). Among all colours, black retains most heat from sunlight while white reflects most heat from sunlight.

So unless you use your phone mostly in the sun, your point is not valid. Time to dig up the Physics book... biggrin.gif

Dull black is a bad reflector of light. wat tahi not valid? That is why it absorbs and as opposed to reflecting it like what white would do. The fact that I included light was to make him understand why black works that way.

Oh geez, stop nitpicking  to increase your e-penor la.

Ok, ok, your statement is actually valid in itself. But, in the context of heat retention when using the Lumia, it makes no difference whether you use black or white colours.

but how about the heat dissipation ? i think it works the same right , brighter colour material dissipate heat faster than black i think .

Heat dissipation through the air or liquid is convection. Colours don't affect convection.

But the characteristics or probably the colour of the material do right ? well i`m no mechanical major.. lolz

Different colours exist because they absorb and reflect light in different ways. Red appears red because it absorbs all visible colours but only reflect red. So without light, colours have no meaning. For the same reason, colours only affect heat transfer when the heat source is visible light, in other words, radiation. Conduction and convection will not be affected by colours.
Ok, it's becoming out-of-topic. Let's move on and continue with 620 talk... smile.gif

Not sure if WD40 will work. Worth a try...
