At last, I got my Nokia Lumia 920. Matte black, partly because I got it for cheap (plus wireless charger FOC). Mind that I'm in Europe currently laugh.gif

For those using cases, do remove it at least once every fortnight and clean the phone before those blemish start to appear. This is quite a problem on my N9 before, and it sure happening again. I'm guessing its due to the sweat and humidity which causing all those smudges.

You can remove it by using eraser, just rub it off, but you cant remove it completely. The stain is seriously one of my biggest pet peeve about matte polycarbonate body, but as long as you clean it properly, this wont be a major problem.

Thanks for the tip

any idea if it will happen to glossy surface as well?

As far as I know from using my white glossy Lumia 900 with case (Nokia official silicon case), there is no such problem.
But need to be careful for micro scratches on the glossy surface.

Personally, I'm using yellow hard case (Rock case) for my 920.

I usually take photos of my figures~ This shot below (first photo is from cam directly, 2nd photo is after some photoshop for better composition/colors and brighten up a bit since i used low ISO), at a sports complex in my campus using the stock camera, not proshot. I suppress the noise by using only ISO 100. No flash, no zooming. Exposure & Color balance auto. And, i didnt use tripod, used my hands only, tap on screen to focus. The figure's full height is around 21cm.

One thing i noticed that, if i wanted to focus on the face, i musnt tap on the face, i had to tap on the forehead (bit higher) or tap the chin/neck area ( a bit lower) for maximum sharpness on the face. In short, dont focus on the face directly, go up or down a bit (the focal length changes by millimeters since the figure's face is not a flat surface).

Must have been something to do with the focal length adjustment by the camera (the camera's software algorithm seems to have the tendency of avoiding over-sharpening images which is odd, by not fully focusing on the spot you prefer, by readjusting the focal length difference by a few mm). I suspect it is trying to suppress or minimize noise. This concept worked on my other trials shooting photos of other objects, it's kinda stupid to me really.

On a completely unrelated note, damn that Racing Miku figure is nice! I only have 2012 Snow Miku Nendo, and waiting for my 2013 Snow Miku nendo.

Lumias are widely used in Europe and Russia, that's what my friend studying there said. The L920, not so much yet. 5 out of 10 budget and midrange phones are Lumia there - because of carriers. Most people who sig up a plan to get a free phone there, usually Lumias are being offered. In Malaysia i still have people asking me "Huh? Lumia runs Windows ah?"  doh.gif  Imagine how much i can make them go "WTF?" by telling them it runs Windows 8 (without the word 'phone'  brows.gif ). These ppl with no knowledge thinks it is as powerful as the desktop version, only lesser apps.

5 out of 10 budget phone...  rclxub.gif  I found it hard to believe. So far budget lumia phones are 610 & 620 only? 710 also maybe...
I don't think Lumia is that famous anyway.
You are looking for jailbreak on WP8 and install pirated apps, which are not possible at the moment. And discussing pirating is prohibited in the forum too.  sweat.gif

I'm currently studying in Dublin, Ireland and I can see that Lumia starting to gain traction around here. But its not the newer ones. Mostly its the old Lumia 800, which can be found here for only 130 Euro from carriers.

Not to mention, carrier is big here, the notion of sim free phones are unusual, unlike Malaysia.

No, its HTC Titan, not running on WP8. AFAIK, only WP8 devices have access to Here maps, drive etc.

Correct me if I'm wrong tho
