Yea WP7 to WP8 not much WOW factor to even begin to brag about it.

They did delay even in US

Announce in SEPT phone only available in December. 3 months delay.

I using Note 2 i can say quite satsify with the phone overall. Not much complaint.

Battery life also WOW
Apps acceptable
Updates since i got the phone i got like 5 to 7 updates just today itself got 2 100MB updates

Just to correct you, it was announced in Sept, available in Nov, some places, end Oct (early, unofficial release), so not too bad.

Note 2 is too big for me, plus it's still too early to look for a phone now. I'll see how much technology advances in the coming months.

Battery life WOW because it has a tablet battery, huge one, given its form factor, no surprises smile.gif

Not so much on apps for me, I just want to enjoy the core experience (email, attachments, documents, reading). For heaven's sake, on WP, I can't even attach a PDF or share more than one document file through email, that alone, disappoint me to the max.

its bad some place got some place do not means its not official launch? Some even secretive launch. That is bad for marketing.

Indeed the debate is not about because its tablet battery or not for a phone there is no competition for such screen size and design.

Even android sux u can practically attached anything to email. Lets hope nokia comes out something like 808 on WP8

Yup got 4g today. Basically you need a microSIM, not a CUT SIM to Microsim to allow 4g to work. Just incase those dumb dumbs at Maxis tell you anything advice that this is what you want.
2ndly you would need portico for 4g to work. Its not that fast as well, as I think they are still testing the service here and there. The best I have gotten is 12-13mbps -,-

Maxis does mentioned that maximum speed is 75 Mbps with average speed coming to about 20-30 Mbps. Not too bad I guess with 12-13 Mbps.

Is there any major difference should I wish to change my Xbox Account Region to USA from Singapore?

I had used Singapore for my Xbox Account Region since with my Mozart. I saw these feature 'Change Xbox Account Region' at my Xbox Web Account Management.

If I had changed to USA, still possible to use Malaysia card with tweaked USA Postal Address to purchase Apps at WP Marketplace/Store?

If you are comparing to WP7, it is better and faster.

If you are comparing to Android or iOS, not fine. Still need fine-tuning.
I heard WhatsApp is releasing a major revision version for WP. Soon, don't know when.

fine-tuning in term of performance? or features?

Does all features in iOS and adroid, available in WP as well? e.g like share location.. etc

My lumia 620 has been with nokia care since 21st January. Even after escalating it, nothing has improved. Just called them and they say the part is going to come in march.

Which nokia care? My cousin's lumia 620 has been sent in to the warranty center as well. Basically her mother board has given way and they said that she should be receiving it by this week. I sent it to Nokia Ampcorp as its the easiest for me.
