it seems got satisfied lumia/wp8 users here, but it's really hard for me to find L720 in penang esp seberang jaya. shop either say wp8 problem or nokia problem. they don't even carry any display unit or info for wp8! all android only, haih! don't want to buy online, afraid of facing problem for warranty claim later.
do u guys really face any issue w wp8/nokia? my neighbour (hp seller) even don't want to order for me, actually plan to get 1 lenovo a706 for wife (android) and 1 lumia L720 (wp8) for myself.

could be true. But I'm sure there's still stock. I don't see 720 selling as well as I thought it would (using 720 now =) )

hi, how do u find L720, good or problematic? google info 725 only available next year, but 5" too big for me. anyway, 'satu gadget dot com' got stock, but since i fr penang still considering to get fr them. afraid problem if want to claim warranty etc.

a shop manager who try to push android/samsung phone sale to me said....
-office program in wp8 is limited time use, hv to pay for it.
-can't bluetooth any documents etc, bluetooth only for handfree pairing
-can't customize like android
-android more free app (but i m not app crazy)
-nokia no trade in value anymore
any user care to post user experience on these?

tq
ps. not sure to wait for lumia 725 or not, since 925 and 625 launched.

I don get it on the office program ... I'm a student, word, excel no problem, see note with powerpoint also no problem.
I don hv friend with WP, didnt try the bluetooth much, because the bluetooth transfer work wp to wp, to android, i think only the contact details.
less customize den android
not app craze also..
no comment on trade in value ...

well, when i tell him i want to sync w w8 laptop on words/excel doc to wp8 (lumia) he reply microsoft office in wp8 is limited time usage, maybe 3 mths free only, after that can't use anymore. i think he (and mostly other sellers) not familiar w wp8, all android supporters, haha!

as for lumia 725, it's just my guess as all 7-8 shops i went to ask all said L720 no more in market/stop selling liao, so maybe 725 coming soon??

Did you get a notification that Amber was available? For me, I searched for updates at around 3pm yesterday from settings. Managed to get the Glance screen but not the Pro Cam.

does your screen appear dimmer after the update?

i didn't get any notification, just try my luck fr setting, phone restart few times during update/installation. i need to manually update extra info+, and display (from google info) to get glance. nokia cam need to install fr store (manually)

as for ambiance, i don't really feel any difference, maybe i set to auto lighting?

the file is .xls or .xlsx?

I suspect only .xlsx can be edited

it's like that for Word, .doc cannot edit

i think is .xls. cos when i open the doc, got a notice say 'can't edit the workbook'.

so do i need to save the doc in .xlsx first?
