You listen at 10/30? I listen at 22-24/30 on my headphones, any lower than 22 not loud enough. But i always use a full size headphone. If you think i have gone nuts with volume levels, i listen to this level of volume for many years already. But seriously, when dialing number damn loud. TOOT TOOOT TOOOT TOOT...

Nope, that is about the right price.

If u hold the phone close to your face, of course the screen will black off, proximity sensor at work. If it darkens without holding the phone close to your face/by your ear, probably the screen protector (SP) is interfering with the proximity sensor. Did this just happened recently? Did u change to a new SP?

I noticed that something related to bluetooth sometimes cause the phone to freeze temporarily - like, taking too ling to respond when i turn on/off BT, or during file transfers (where it doesnt respond). Im the impatient type so when that happens i just soft reset. Happened twice so far.

Proximity sensor is above the N and O alphabet of the Nokia logo, i dont see it being affected by dust. That's quite some distance from the front cam.

No such issue for me yet on my white one, i think matte one is more prone to blemishes.
HTC 8X also this problem, i even heard the colors of the blue and red models fading or turning darker.

Pennag Nokia stores this accessory dun have that accessory dun have one... compare Gurney Nokia store to appe store, the fruit has sh!tloaf of accesssories, Nokia store only a bit at a small corner o0o

Worse case scenario i use it to buy monster earphone liao then sell off the earphone, cant find charging stand here.

LOOOL The seberang prai mall, u referring to Megamall Pinang? There is no nokia store there, the nokia booth there is not an official store. Aeon Plaza have Nokia store i think, same row as Maxis one...

Agreed. I have 9 lenses installed already including proshot; sometimes they really do help a lot.

Im considering the 520 as a new spare phone~ Most likely will cost 599 only. 600 bucks, get duo core processor and lag free, cant find in Androidland leh

Unwilling to spend so much on a 2nd spare phone lol; Im just a college student, already spent 2k on the Lumia 920, not to mention i was one of the early birds who preordered and got it back in December. Shiok mah if become an early adopter and grab it on launch day, because many ppl will think im nuts paying high price on launch day instead of waiting price drop a bit.

720 looks a lot nicer though, and most likely will go for 999 in price... that curved glass

By the way, this better be real. It will capture more ppl who want to try this OS. I dont use Instagram so far - it provides 16 ways for you to screw up a good photo. True that the community there is big, unless it reaches the size of half a Facebook i wont join; FB is enough for me.

I only buy flagship phones nowadays, and oh, there's an important thing Lumia 720 is lacking - it only have half the RAM, cant run high tier games like Asphalt 7. Lumia 820 looked boring in terms of design.

On the camera, it was partly the reason why i bought it, but i tend to treat my phone cameras as if im a pro, i custom modified a tripod for this phone; i also had modified frames i DIYed to attach external lenses to my phones, especially the older N8, the lenses are extracted from ridiculous sources like CCTV's camera (i needed the wide aperture, most CCTV have f/1.6) for specific uses and the lenses had manual focusing like DSLR lenses.

After my exams i wanna DIY another set of frame to attach my current assortment of lenses to my L920. I also use apps like Proshot (especially the manual focus) and camerapro to push the camera to its best potential. I could say the photos are fantastic. Most of my photos are close up shots so the 'soft picture' problem is never really a problem to me. A geek with mental problem at work here.

Wah, nice... but Stupid penang Nokia stores not going to sell them anyway

Gurney Plaza is 'high class' place, this one dun have that one dun have...

Nice to know another name I have around 230 artiste folders for Jpop in my storage, not including anime & game soundtrack folder (the way i arrange is different, songs are arranged by anime/game title in that section)... but too much is never enough

I use old school method, i open my folder, step by step, go for the songs i want and i play... the reason is like what u r experiencing, everything mess up... What songs i feel like listening, just just make a playlist out of it. If i import all my songs into a player, GG... a big mess... my songs are mixed - MP3, M4A, FLAC and WAV, and some songs after i downloaded, do not have the properties keyed in properly, or the Japanese characters became messed up. This problem is less likely to happen if u go for M4A, itunes format - details are proper with album covers embedded.

The way different people call Japanese names (first-last name, or the other way round) is another issue. That would Japanese names, such as "Kana Nishino", will appear as 3 different artistes in a player if i sync everything - the 2nd form is Nishino Kana, 3rd form is the kanji/japanese writing. Cant expect me to check and edit the songs one by one when i have like over 60Gb of J-pop songs alone...

My laptop's sound card is horrid, Bass nearly non-existent, so i tend to listen to songs from my phone with a good headset.

@Ktek, yup, Japanese name follow us chinese naming - last name (surname) then first name, so the right one is Nishino Kana.

You mean the chinese characters goes screwed up, i have this problem with Japanese and Korean, and it only happens to some of them, which is weird. For example, see these 6 pics below, all of them were in Japanese words but some would appear properly, some becomes messed up (bottom row). My guess is that, the words being typewritten with different keyboards (half width or full width katakana, hiragana, etc) has an effect on it. For chinese im not so sure. Note that i do have Chinese, Japanese and Korean language installed in my phone keyboard.

Agree, though i have neither Zune or iTunes installed in my computer... Im still old school, use file manager method to drag songs into the music folder instead of using Windows Phone app; last time i use Symbian also like that, installed Nokia suite but din go and use it, drag files from My Computer > phone instead...

One more thing, some of my songs which had no album covers when i put them in, the album cover appeared mysteriously after i went online for some time. No idea if it's XBox music at work, it was kinda annoying because they put an old fart's face in one of my Japanese songs, presumably same album and song name as some other English song.
