I think this depends on bank. But I noticed for my bank they add around 0.2 to the current exchange rate.

I bought this phone knowing the camera wont be that great for landscape shots (and the fact that i need the camera a lot), because 90% of photos i take are portrait/people or macro/close up shots, which the phone is pretty good at. The aperture is only f/2.0, lacking depth of field, so, the photos wont be very sharp - an increase in sharpness may be possible with software tweaks but that will increase the amount of noise.

I had no choice but to buy this phone - it felt like upgrading from an ancient device since im still on symbian (Nokia N8), and lags are beginning to creep in my device, even after a complete hard reset. I wanna buy all kinds of gadgets but as usual, no money no talk.

Im waiting for the day i can buy a Nokia phone with an awesome cam (i buy a new phone at least every 2 years, so, EOS this year is a no-go for me), a 8 inch Windows 8 tab and a mid range DSLR. I dont have a DSLR yet, the best i have is only a point and shoot Canon cam. Not to mention my cashflow is being used to maintain my hobbies in anime mechandise...

I only use Whatsapp, and boy does that app have a million glitches. i.e. poor interface, lackluster features as compared to Android/iOS's version, late notifications and so on. But I've heard that the devs are working on a major update to address all of these issues. Hopefully they'll step up the WP8 by a few notches real soon.

I see. Does it have anything to do with Battery Saver mode in Setting?

And can we close the app and it will still provide notification if any? Or we need to left it on background (press Back to see if its there on background) to enjoy the notification?

Ahhh I see. I hope so too. It is actually quite tolerable considering the age of Windows 8. But hope the rate of progress to achieve maturity of apps in term of stability is steadily progressive.

set batt saver to turn on when batt low,
if always turn on, u will never receive notification cos no app work in bg allowed when batt saver is on.

no need long press back, just exit app normally will enable notification or bg app..

whatsapp they say will update on this 14th may..
maybe we will get at 15th may lah..

Eh i posted in another L920 thread... Not sure which one is the latest? But anyway, what casings are you guys using for your L920? Been using Spigen SGP for my previous phones but don't think they have it for L920. Currently using a cheapo case from eBay, doesn't fit properly lol.

Actually no difference if u pay by Paypal & it's linked to a credit card. I do not know how Paypal calculates it if you use bank transfer. If you try that, inform us here the results biggrin.gif
