Suggestion for new phone spec to list
Whether a phone uses mini/micro/nano SIM cards. That's really useful, especially for people looking to just swap SIM cards between phones.
Re: Well played Samsung...
I don't care HOW durable and water proof that thing is, I'm still not using my phone for underwater photography or getting it in the water on purpose... bad juju-ma-gumbo...
Re: google play 299 bucks
Because it's white :lol:
Re: still no iphone
I'll look at cnet or engadget when I want some specific bit of news, but usually I just look through Phonescoop while I'm working. When I was training for my job, Phonescoop was their recommendation for a site to use to get phone specs and compare phones, and I'll say it's the best site I've found for US phones. The only information I wish they gave extra was whether a phone uses a regular SIM or microSIM.
I also ...
Re: still no iphone
It was a policy that no iPhones were allowed on prepaid... last year. Now they're allowed on GoPhone service, but before yesterday they only worked with talk/text, no data. Now they work with talk, text and data.
The only phones not supported on prepaid now are BlackBerrys, and (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that's because BlackBerry services are optimized for each specific network and don't work well when transferring from network to network, even if it's just postpaid ...
Then again
Thieves can always just unlock the phone and sell it to someone in another country.
I noticed that before. And this really sucks for one reason...
The main reasoning I always gave behind the upgrade fee was that it replaced the administrative fee.
Stop tacking on fees!
A terabyte?
Why not just say unlimited storage?
Had a few people already asking about switching because of this
I wonder how many of those customers are happy about the switch?
I think it'll be interesting to see how this turns out.

Or rather, I'd like to hear what Google has to say.
If Google made a YouTube app for W8...
Then maybe Microsoft wouldn't have to make their own?
Re: Not available for Verizon, of couse...
Of course, Verizon only allows phones made specifically for their network on their service. Even if it was CDMA capable and had LTE in their frequency, and even if it was unlocked for that, they still wouldn't let you use it.
$24.22 for 1 GB of data, $64.31 for 3 GB of data, $5.28 for 1,000 text messages...?
Those are oddly specific numbers.
Re: What a shame
Data plans and smartphones are where the money's at. The carriers sell data plans that cost more, the software developers sell apps and other mobile content (TV/movie/music subscriptions, etc.), and where they're making extra money, the hardware manufacturers will make more money by charging more for the phones and getting it.
Re: How is this different from the 920?
Thanks, I was thinking it was just a slight variation.
How is this different from the 920?

Re: Close but not quite
Maybe some people who are "in the know" about cell phones and their history. Personally, most people I've talked to about it have said things like "I heard Windows 8 sucked" or "I tried Windows 8 and didn't like it", referring to the desktop/laptop version. Sure, Windows Mobile is what put Windows behind the curve so to speak, but I doubt it's on the average consumers' mind now.
Windows 8 on Nokia hardware DOES rock.
8)
There's room in the market for more than Android and iPhones. There are only two things holding Windows 8 back: a lack of apps, and the bad taste most people have from trying Windows 8 on a desktop/laptop first. It's an amazing smartphone OS, though, and the more people who use it, the more apps that will be developed.
Re: Will it have an SD card slot?
Yes, expandable by up to 64 GB.
Re: Finally!
Yeah, seriously. Not upgrading my desktop or laptop. On the phones, though... Windows 7 ain't so good there. Microsoft tried, and failed, to make one OS for all devices.
Re: Terrible Credit
"At least $100" is pretty good, especially since it takes any phone made within the last 3 years. If you have a two-to-three year old phone that's not an iPhone, chances are you'd get less than $100 for it anywhere else...
Re: Finally!
It's really bad for desktops and regular laptops, I'll give you that. Most people have their first Windows 8 experience on one of those and it spoils the rest of it for them. It's really a system best used with smartphones or tablets. You definitely need a touch screen to make the most of it.
But oh well. I just sit here, twiddling my thumbs and exclaiming with joy with every new major app release announced.
(Though I do ...
Re: Finally!
I've used iOS, Android, and now Windows 8. It's just as capable as the other two operating systems, and I'd say I like it the best of the three (even though I'm open-minded enough to say I like all three).
Finally!
A serviceable Facebook app for my Lumia 920!
$639.99?
I have a feeling that pricing is loosely based on the cost of the iPhone 5 16 GB ($649.99).
Re: Ugh
I've gotten so many complaints over the Status/ChaCha. I feel bad for anyone who bought one.
We'll see how this one goes...
Compared to the Rugby II?
I don't know if you've used it, but would you say it's a step up or down from the Rugby II (since it's still available and half the price)?
Re: Hopefully Microsoft doesn't follow Apple's lead
I mentioned why it's not ideal. Consumer choice is the big one--if you want an iOS device, you HAVE to go through Apple to get the hardware. If you want a Windows device, you can go with Nokia, HTC, Samsung... The main pull of Android is the ultimate choice you get.
Re: Best Camera Quality Phones
The Nokia Lumia 920 is an amazing camera phone, especially with low-light photos.

Re: Hopefully Microsoft doesn't follow Apple's lead
I think that's what they were doing with the "Windows Phone 8X by HTC".
Re: Hopefully Microsoft doesn't follow Apple's lead
I'm not against them making their own phones, but rather against them making their own phones then kicking their existing hardware partners (Nokia, HTC, Samsung) to the curb. I don't think they could afford to do that though, so it shouldn't be an issue.
Hopefully Microsoft doesn't follow Apple's lead
One company making both the software and hardware and not licensing that software out at all isn't ideal. That's great for making the hardware and software work better together, but not so good for innovation and consumer choice.
Re: Puerto Rico. . .
AT&T has over 50% of the island covered in LTE. Doesn't look like Verizon has any real coverage, though. Just some 1x, no LTE.
Sidenote... you'd think they'd make it easier to find their coverage map and work it. It's a pain to just scroll around on it.
Re: U.S. Cellular
OK, just making sure. Hey, do you know when Nokia's going on stage to announce the new Lumias? :)
Re: phone calls from a tablet
The Galaxy Note works just perfectly by that reasoning, whether you're serious or not :lol:
Re: Correct procedure to de-escalate a customer.
srs bro, step off.
If no US carriers are supporting this yet
why is it listed under US Cellular on the MWC page?
phone calls from a tablet
really seems ridiculous. who would use that function? video calls through Skype are one thing, but carrying this around as a replacement phone?
"Unfortunately, Verizon is carrying on with its Droid nonsense."
Made me smile :)
