Are Nokia apps any use in Canada? - Nokia Lumia 920

So there's this idea that getting a Nokia branded phone is a little better than getting some other phone like HTC. But for those of us in Canada, are these Nokia apps any use anyway? Nokia transit doesn't work in my city, we can't use Nokia music, turn by turn driving directions are there by Nokia maps on other phones too. So are Nokia phones really any better?

What's your android history?

Just wondering how long you guys have been with Android and what your previous devices were. How many paid apps have you purchased?
I'm just wondering because I was recently going through my market and realized I have 27 paid apps! A lot of people think that the iPhone app store is better because of numbers but how many times have iPhone users asked "can I get that on my phone?" When have you ever heard vice versa? I know they are usually better visually and are better quality apps but I like our immature android... he's growing everyday. I personally think android marketplace is the bees knees because its more intimate, you can email devs for specific bugs and requests. You have emulators... mp3 downloads I mean you name it we got it. I refer to it as the android black market. Anyways what is your android history?

Android or phones? Pre android, i had an lg flip phone that i hated. Next was the big thing for girly girls, the hot pink moto razr. Then palm centro. Started with at&ts first android, backflip. Then tried flipside (locked bootloader and no development) but quickly moved to atrix. Loved it so much, i got a second one for playing with. Was thinking of going to the atrix hd, but I dont do non removable batteries. So once moto screwed the atrix , I said im done. Samsung skyrocket is my current phone and I'll never go locked bootloader again. Have no clue how many paid apps, but quite a few. However, I have hacked quite a few more then I've owned. Those include epic 4g touch, captivate, and have an lg quantum that I cant seem to find any development for. :what:

No SD-card for 920, however on the cheaper 820 there is a sd-card slot.
EDIT:
From WMPoweruser:
Winfuture.de reports the Nokia Lumia 920 will be released in Germany in mid-October and will retail for 600 Euro ($758, £476).
The Austrian art magazine ‘Future Zone‘ reported that Nokia wants to deliver the Lumia 920 from the middle of October in Germany. They expect the handset to initially launch only in a few countries, much like the roll-out of the Nokia Lumia 800, before being available everywhere.
The handset will be introduced first in Germany, France, Britain, Italy and Russia, before becomes available in late October in Poland. The Scandinavian countries, Portugal and Spain will receive the handset a short time later.
The Nokia Lumia 820 will follow 2 weeks later in the same markets and will retail for around 450 Euro ($568, £357).
Of note is that the Samsung Galaxy S III 16 GB without LTE is 580 Euro, making the 32 GB LTE Nokia Lumia 920 very price competitive.
A cheaper version of the Lumia 920 without LTE will also be available.

I really liked the look of the 820.
WAIT, WHAT ? No Skype integrated ??

920 has no microSD and you can't remove the battery

They said it already during the Windows Phone Summit 2 months back. They won't be integrating Skype into the OS. They will allow any VoIP App to fully integrate itself with WP8's Dialer and allow it to run in the background (which includes Skype but won't force Skype on everyone's handset (which would lead to problems with carriers)).
Does anyone think the specs might be wrong? I was disappointed when the 920 didn't list AWS support, but then when I saw that the 820 also didn't list it I became a bit suspicious since many are saying the 820 is destined for TMobile US.
The Nokia 920 its too heavy and big for a 4.5" display, 130.3 x 70.8 x x10.7 mm and 185g.
It's a shame because the rest of the hardware (camera, screen, built materials, etc) and the nokia software, are great.
The Ativ S by comparation with a 4.8" display has 137.2 x 70.5 x 8.7 mm and 135g.
Sturdier shell, bigger camera compartment (you need room for the camera assembly to move for the optical stabilization to be able to work), the extra Hardware for wireless charging and due to the improved touch technology by Synaptics I guess they need more room for the screen as well (I'm pretty sure it's not on-cell technology as with Samsung's SuperAMOLED).
er , someone say lunch?
oh. launch.
yawn.

That 920 would of been cool if it only had the SD slot.... Oh, well, HTC's is on the 19th, maybe they will have something to blow away the 920. Over all besides the lack of the newest Windows Phone 8 standard missing (MicroSD), the 920 is a great phone

Some people are hard to please the L900 was 127.8 x 68.5 x 11.5 mm and 160 g.
Considering all the new tec in this phone it is only 25g heaver and slightly thinner.
Wish Nokia went with Android instead. Looks to be a decent handset but I won't go near it with it having Windows.

try it out first? yeah I'm an android fan too, but mostly for the apps not the actual OS :S I'm growing a bit tired of the icons business... but what I didn't like about the windows phone was the app list either :S I preferred android's screen/icons over the app list.
Kind of want just the metro UI as homescreen and android's app drawer lol.
back to topic, yeah, try out the windows phone, I'll stop by store when it's out. Nothing to say I'll buy it, but this phone is one that I'll make a stop in to at least get hands on with
Prices are 450 Euro for Lumia 820 and 600 Euro for Lumia 920. Worth or not ?

This phone will definitely be subsidized under contract with phone companies (speaking of US)
As for AT&T USA, I'm thinking this phone should sell for $100-$200.

"price competitive" (which requires signing a 2 year contract AND possible etf's) isn't good enough to entice folks already comfortable with their respective platforms.
the s3 has a very good reputation. the 920 has..... what?

[Q] Titan Antenna Problems

Hi every body.
i am interested to buy a Titan (new and unlocked) in China the model name is X310e is the 3G (No 4G) i have read about the problems with the call and the HTC say is the antenna problem.
i read this problem is only for the American Version but i dont know if they are talking about the TITAN II.
I am really interested in this smartphone, can someone tell me is this problem with the antenna is in all titans model or only in the American Model.
tank you and have a nice day.
All Titans in general will have the antenna issue due to the phones schematics on how the antenna was designed. Since the whole casing shell acts as the antenna, it uses conducting points, which over time can get loose and weaken the signal. Another fact is that sometimes, even just holding the phone itself can reduce signal because your hand acts as a barrier between the signal and the antenna. I live in an area with plenty of signal, other phones get around 4-5 bars (Nokia Lumia 800, Samsung Omnia W, HTC Trophy), but my Titan gets barely like 0-1, 2 if I'm lucky. This also raises the problem of calls being dropped (and calls being muffled/quiet is another problem of the Titan). I love my Titan, but despite these issues, I can live for another 4 or 5 months until they release the 2nd gen WP8 devices.

Thank you for the information.
It means is a serious antenna issue then, the Titan is almost the half price than two weeks ago.
But this make me think more about if buy or not.
I want to buy the HTC 8S, but i lost my phone (Nokia N9) a few days ago and the 8S is no in China yet, i found the Titan is very good option and has a good price also.

Then it depends if you want to get it. It's a great phone but all these faults isn't making the phone any nicer. It's not also a developers point, unlike its predecessors HD7 and HD2 which are quite popular for making custom Roms. I heard china is getting a Lumia 920 soon on contract for free, I'm not sure on which network tho but that, I can recommend getting.
I want to buy a Windows phone to start to develop WP7 apps and WP8 also, i am begineer in mobile development but i want to start to do it and get some money.
BUt i need to use the phone every day, i dont make too much calls only messages and whatsapp.
the Lumia 920 is a great option, but is too expensive for me and with plans are free but the expensive plan for 2 years, i never use a mobile for more than 1 year, i always brake or sale it (i always be boring usin the same mobile every day)

Unlocked New Nexus 7?

So I know that it won't be released on July 30th like the Wi-Fi only model, but I am curious as to how to actually obtain the 4G/3G/whatever service. I know you buy the device from the Google Play Store, but does it come with a SIM card that you just go to T-Mobile or VZW or AT&T website to activate? How does that process actually work?
I've owned many tablets, but they are all Wi-Fi only. This will be my first tablet with Data.
While I'm here, my main use of this is for mostly media(ie Google Play Music, YouTube, Pandora, etc) but also Navigation via Google Maps, is it a good device for Navigation in the car? Do you recommend a certain dock/mount for the car?
I know it's a lot to ask, but I very much appreciate any information you have
When you purchase a tab, it doesn't include a SIM card, you need to purchase one from a dealer (of your favorite carrier).
Any dock for car should be fine (provided that it supports 7'' tabs), of course, there are specially-designed docks for the Nexus 7, but again, any of them should work.
So who would you recommend for that? VZW? AT&T? Or T-Mobile?
I have VZW now but they are expensive.

Lumia 925 forum????

I've seen the 900, 920, and 1020. Did I did I blow past it or is there not one? If not, can we set one up?

like xda has ever cared about windows phone...i wish there was a Lumia 925 forum as well, however there is no Lumia 928 forum either. I think they expect us to just use the Lumia 920 forum... Xda is definitely one of the worst windows phone resources available.

I ended up a while back having to create a thread in here because there was no separate forum. Even though I suspect because of its design it might well outsell both the 920 & the 1020.
ye
there must be a thread section for LUMIA 925
\which is better in all aspects than 920
and even more sold in 6 months
Besides the amoled screen it offers not much extras compared to the 920. It offers only half the storage capability and the price is higher than the 920. The build quality of the 920 is also sturdier and more compact imho.
This site used to be "window phone only" and it's now it's very much "android only". It's used to have a forum for every HTC window phone. It's sad to see the site convert 100% to android and not much about what it started out long ago.
