So, there is indeed no options to manually check for updates...

That is what im doing for the apps i use frequently, and i rely on WPcentral, and their forums and also here to get to know newer versions of apps. But i only update those like Proshot, FB, etc frequently, the rest, just let the phone update it should it detects a newer version.

Should be different, not too sure; but despite my phone switch on auto check i still manually check.

Disadvantage? 185g weight. xD

Samsung doesnt give an eff about windows phone; from last august till now, how many months already, and they just announced and released only ONE windows 8 phone (I wouldnt count that ATIV Odyssey since it is a USA-only model), what kind of sick joke is that. Because other people make one, they also make one (WP8 phone), even if it sells only 10,000 or 20,000 units worldwide they dont care. I do have a feeling that Samsung might screw with android as well if their Tizen OS becomes successful. They dont care about WP, and even openly criticized windows RT. They didnt want WP to be a competitor to their own Tizen phones. I do have the feeling where Samsung will abandon WP, following LG and Dell. Android will not be that dominant today without Samsung (and those cheap China knockoffs).

I think that's possible, i have tried shaking my phone violently a bit while the phone is taking photo with only the stock camera, and the movement blurs are actually nice. The only issue is how you put that potential to good use.

Wah, that car running on NOS ahh

Da heck, why would a 2600mAh battery needs up to 4 hours to charge? My 920 needs 2 and half hours only to fully charge for a 2000mAh battery. Im starting to wonder how long it takes for future lumia devices which have larger batteries to charge wirelessly.

Because Lumia 928 is coming soon LOL. I dont expect any big changes though, the real big change is the Lumia 950 this year end (if you take the Nokia N95 as a good omen), it might be quite successful. There are 2 rumors recently, one about the 950 having both OIS and oversampling (around 20-21MP), and the second one was Sony making a cybershot and walkman phone of 20MP also. Given the Sony cybershot phone might be real, i wish Nokia do something to stuff in an epic camera into the next Lumia.

To be honest i dont want Sony to win If ony wins then the fagdroids' attitude will become worse thinking android has everything in the smartphone world from powerful processors to fantastic hardware.

But, if it's under 5 inch i dont see a need for 1080p, but like u said, it's a trend, and a stupid one... most windows 7 laptops still running 768p or 900p. I personally think Lumia 950 this october will be around 4.7-4.8' but dimensions same as Lumia 920, they trim down the bezels. Lumia 928 is just a 920 variant with aluminium build, i dont see it will have many upgrades.

If there were no limitations set by microsoft and im designing phones in Nokia, i'd come up with a phone between 5-5.5' and slap in 2560 X 1600 screen, 3Gb RAM, Snapdragon 800, 4000mAh battery and 128Gb memory then tell the Android world out there "SUCK THIS!!". Ok, it's going to cost like a bomb.

I wonder if it is possible to add in this feature to windows phones, you know, in a PC, under right click > properties > personalisation you can change screen resolution (although everyone uses the maximum, and it only changes when u run an old software/game than runs on lower res). If that is applied to phones, the auto resolution change when an app runs should solve many app incompatibility problems.

Im not using data, my bluetooth and NFC is 24hrs on, wifi, i use it a few hours each day. A few texts, not much calls, and hours of music. Lasts 2 days. I think my usage is under moderate. Battery drain is quite significant when i play game for, like, 1 hour, when i use data over long periods, or take too many photos with te camera, but again, i havent updated my phone to portico which improves battery life. Buying a new model now has portico preinstalled.


GPS = Guna Pun Sesat, be careful oh. Im from Penang but last weekend i went down to Cheras and i see my car 'floating' beside the the main road even im driving on the main road, and 'flies' across a few streets (my location dot is like, 5mm off beside the road im on, on the screen) when i went up an overhead bridge. Sky was really cloudy and it heavy rained after 30 mins, wondered if it was some kind of interference, i had to be careful not to make the wrong turn. KL's roads quite confusing, 1 wrong turn have to make a big U turn, or masuk highway, then headache liao.

Lumia 928 leaks. Doesnt look nice to me. Happy that my phone will look sexy to me for at least a year xD

I didnt know Wikipedia had an app for WP.
Proshot is still better.

Wiki is winning probably bcuz it is a free app in the first place... People who dont buy apps dont know how good proshot is.

Ya, green screen i kena once before also, but after i restart no problem liao. I took like 50-60 shots in less than 15 mins with proshot.

So, Windows on PC = blue screen, Windows on phone = green screen huh

Lumia 820 dropped even faster, my friend bought at 1599, now 11XX can get liao LOL. If Lumia 820 is RM 11XX, and Lumia 720 is at RM 999, then Lumia 820 is more worth it, 1 Gb of RAM.

Lumia 820 was never that popular; As for Lumia 920, i think that's because a new Lumia is coming out in May. The Lumia 928 might be for USA but there might be an international variant as Lumia 930. We sont know. Just like last year Lumia 900 was made specially to cater the USA market (But it was on AT&T's GSM network instead of Verizon's CDMA) but we still get it later after 2 months. 930 should be just a slight change compared to 920 (and 900, 920, 930 are all similar in some way), just like the old N90, N91, N93 were slight upgrades. N95 = radical change compared to N93. So, we can expect Lumia 950 this year end to be awesome. Well, i dunno if i should be comparing this way lol...

iPhone Facts: Lower spec than other flagship phones, no new groundbreaking features, but higher price then all of them.

Apple's profit margins are insane, among the highest out of all phone manufacturers. The manufacture cost of a single iPhone 5 is less than RM 700. Consumers are still foolishly paying over 3 times the amount, even inclding marketing costs and everything, an iPhone's initial cost is less than RM 1000.
