actually heard alot of good reviews for the 820, but the thing is .. you can purchase the 920 for just 400 bucks more... I don't know.. the 920's camera makes up for that 400 for me I guess.

yup.. i always keep an eye on wp thread every 15min!!! if i misses some1 please pm me laugh.gif

although i like the slick design of 8x, man.. 4.3" is kindda small rclxub.gif always hitting error on the keyboard rclxub.gif rclxub.gif perhaps i should let this 8x for my wife.. and grab ATIV S?

battery life : 830am full > 830pm (15% remain) data connection on 24hr, 20text messages, 10 songs with bluetooth headset, checking on wp thread every 15min ~ 20min while i was outside, if compare to titan 830pm still have 30% of battery.

ATIV S might be a good alternative, but I'm just worried because it's Samsung. There are bloating issue everywhere when you use it for a long time. Android at least.

Why not Lumia 920? tongue.gif

incoming call - 20 / 1~2min
outgoing call - 10 / 1~5min

so, i believe with above average usage , battery die at 9pm is acceptable for all smartphone. if battery saver on can still tahan till 11pm.

well, my minimum requirement screen is 4.7 ~ 4.8" , i dont like 5" phone. L920 i've get a hold on the test devices, screen brightness are really sharp compare to 8x. let's wait for Samsung ATIVS then only decide.

ATIV S
Key features: 8MP Front-Facing Camera, 1.9MP Rear-Facing Camera, 4.8" HD Super AMOLED Display, Dual Core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon S4, 1GB of RAM, 16GB / 32GB of internal storage with expandable microSD slot, 2300 mAh battery, NFC.

Cheapest would be U Mobile for just RM28 per month. (The one I know at least)
Prepaid as well just topup RM30 each month and subscribe to the internet plan with the * dial number.

I don't use it but a lot of my friends use it and it seems they are quite satisfied. I'm using iValue 1 btw.
Which is RM100 each month.

I'm using drag m drop to my music folder,i can do delete single songs from songs hubs but not whole folder from album hubs. How bout others that use window desktop apps??? Can you all delete the whole album?
*
I tried the above with my L920, transfer the music via the Windows Phone app on Windows 8 PC and it will automatically create the Artist Folder and Album Folder (this is inside the Artist Folder)... then go over to the L920 Music hub, you can only have Delete function on the Song and not the Album itself...

If I delete the song either from the L920 phone itself or the Windows Phone app on desktop, I noticed that the Artist folder (this folder has no song coz I just deleted it) still remains on the phone when view using Windows Explorer... however the Artist folder is not visible on the L920 music hub nor the Windows Phone app when view what's on the phone...

I normally just goes to the Windows Explorer and delete off those empty Artist folder... reason for me to have those empty folder is because of all my Chinese songs having East Asian characters which I need to ensure all are intact when transferred into the L920 shakehead.gif

this is somehow what I noticed so far on the Music transfer on WP8 and Windows 8

Btw, Skype has a new update on Marketplace...

you can but not directly... screen capture your phone using the shortcut key (power key + windows logo key) that comes with WP8 which will then saved into your pictures folder name screenshot... go into Whatsapp and click attach function to attach the screenshot that was saved inside the screenshot folder...

Update: oops ..i think it's more on the file format in the picture ...as screenshot is taken using png format instead of jpg

i just tried change the screenshot from png to jpg using paint ..then save it back to screenshot folder ..it works

make it short ...whatsapp doesnt support png format or doesnt recognize png as a picture laugh.gif
