On the font, my friend complained the title too big, like "People", "Music + Videos" on top, he says the UI very nice but the titles too big, wastes screen space. I kinda agree because in my contacts page the top half of the screen all taken over by the big title and my own profile. But i dont hate scrolling lol.

Haiz, a lot to update liao, the maps, drive...

Off topic, a bit,,, i saw the Lumia 520 at USD $184, that means most likely in M'sia only RM 600. Makes me think that anyone who buys a RM 600 android phone is an idiot... You cant get that kind of specs and lag free experience for that kind of price for Androids.

They still stole the show with the 808 last year. But i think Nokia considered that phone as a niche device for geeks, not a high end or flagship.

Not really, Because 90% of android users will tell you "Cannot jailbreak leh... canot use cracked apps leh... i dont want pay 3 ringgit for a game..."
Seriously... =.=; I never hesitate to pay for the apps i want.

I bet these people dunno cheap phones and expensive phones have different specs. All they know is the obvious hardware - screen size, camera, screen quality, amount of space, things like that. Many people who dont have knowledge in smartphones will just ask friend or shop to recommend, given the budget price. And, 80% of shop owners recommend a samsung.

I think Nokia needs 2 flagships a year, just like for HTC - One X and Butterfly; Samsung - Galaxy S3 and Note 2.
I dont like this actually, phones become outdated too fast, but it's needed to stay relevant in marketshare. But as long WP doesnt support 1080p yet Nokia cant make phablets. But they can differentiate by cameras - a slim flagship with no more than 12Mp Cam to keep it slim, and another one with giant hump - camera. Make the release of these 2 flagships 6 months apart.

In android, not evrybody likes a giant screen over 5'. In Nokia's case, they give consumers a choice of a good all-rounder flagship that is slim, or a thicker one with focus to camera.

Guys, GPS = Guna Pun Sesat... so, dun rely on it too much, sometimes road sighboards are better if you are already new the location.

IMO 920 is thick partly because the polycarbonate shell is quite thick especially the sides, and if im not mistaken all sorts of antenna are aligned along the sides of the phone. I have issues locking the GPS during rain... cludy weather still can.

Yup, location also plays a role; in Penang damn fast, locks on in mere seconds. And when im here in Kedah state (but weather isnt good) 2 minutes liao also cant lock on properly.

That is common, regarding the battery... even my older 2 nokia symbian phones also like that...
You know, the 7 bars of battery, the first 3 bars drop very slowly, but when only half is left, it drops faster than usual. If u restart the phone, the battery goes up by 20-30%, then later it will drop faster. I have no idea why, but such battery indicator problems is like a tradition in Nokia phones.

Avoid bootlegs and pasar malam headphones. Get one that cost at least in hundreds. Take note of these brands: AKG, Audio Technica, Denon, Pioneer, Sennheiser. The first 2 and last one are more commonly used with phones/mobile devices. If you care about fashion/good looks you can also check out Skullcandy.

What specific model, you'd have to do your own search online or ask around, depending what taste you have for music (whether you want balanced, bass - low and mid emphasis, or acoustically tuned headsets). There are no perfect headsets for mobile devices, audiophile class headsets that are perfect usually have too high impedance (requires amp) to be used with mobile devices and designed for home use, and too large to be portable enough.

Avoid Beats/Monster unless you only care about bass spam, and since it is celebrity stuff, you pay more and get less in audio quality.

*Edit
For me I'm a Sennheiser user. I swap between the Sennheiser HD203DJ (for bass: pop, R&B, rock, RMM 190) and HD449 (acoustic headset, RM 360) depending what songs Im listening to. The HD203's wire is ridiculously long (as expected from a DJ headset) although it is portable, and you really want to take care not to damage the wires. And i have other higher priced headphones but for home use.

Ah, calls... then better go for bluetooth ones. Jabra is pretty good, i liked Jabra Stone, very stylish but bloody expensive for something that produces mono audio ==;

For music i prefer wired; for calls i prefer wireless lol. That kind of handsfree ah, nokia outlets have or not? I dunno about your place, but my place they sell older models of Nokia brand handsfree for 90+, but not really sure if it is compatible wit windows phone.

I experienced this once, only music player and bluetooth running but the phone is always warm and battery dropped a bit faster despite data being switched off. I just restart the phone no problem ady, must be some background apps that didnt even appear in the task manager,

Nowadays flagship phone cycles down to 6 months from yearly, which kinda piss me off because phones get outdated too fast... Just like Samseng release S3 in mid year and Note 2 in year end, HTC has the One X and Butterfly...

Any recommendations for players that play FLV? I damn lazy to convert, and it takes time... I dont mind paid apps..

You know, most pr0n vids ripped from streaming sites are FLV...

Using data? Either Skype or Whatsapp (or both) at fault. Switch off data when not using.

For me, when i dont use data i always switch it off, and most stuff are manual sync including mail. If i dont use data, i can use 2 days before it reaches 20%. If occasional data usage, can last a day. I listen to music a lot, at least 3-4 hrs a day with a full size headset.

I dont use whatsapp at all so far. I installed it but didnt configure anything (Dont have an account yet). I also noticed taking lots of photos (like, 100 of them) battery also drain damn fast.

Was Asphalting for quite a while, like over an hour or longer just now and my battery plummeted 50% LOL. Surprisingly the phone is only a bit warm, not very hot.

Bcuz most people use google search. LOL

^ THIS
I accidentally press on it a lot, especially when playing games of taking photos
