Just wondered if anyone was considering getting rid of their 920 & getting a 1020 instead?

You mean a 925? I was not aware a 1020 was even released or being considered. No would be my answer as hardware wise the the 920 and 925 are the same except the 925's camera is actually not as good as the 920's and it for the most part is a weakened 920 in a smaller case.

I was somewhat disappointed there wasn't more evolution in the hardware, but I guess the OS restricted that.

Nope! I can't justify spending $299 upfront for what...a 3x zoom and the extra mega-pixels that come with that zoom. At normal P&S it's no different than the 92x variants. I'm leaning on the 925 which I put my hands on today. It does have the T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling app and access to the Field Test via ##3282# where you can make Automatic, 2G, 4G, and LTE network changes. The 521 can do the exact same thing. Columbus, GA does not have LTE as of this typing. We also know that HSPA+ is 3G technology and when you run the field test; it is all zeroes up and down the board when you run the 4G diagnostics, a point I have had to make at every T-Mobile kiosks that insists that HSPA+ is 4G. Today "4G" is accepted as the be all of anything that isn't "2G" or "3G". We can thank T-Mobile who got this whole "4G" thing started with HSPA; that said, their mobile data speeds are pretty darn good but thanks to marketing it's become convoluted to say the least.

The big issue for me with the 925 is the downgrading of the amount of internal memory & other than the design it doesn't seem a great deal different to the 920.
No, as I understand it, its got the same hardware except a better camera. I don't use the camera on my phone that much to warrant the camera sticking out (and not being able to lie my phone flat on its back- which I do quite often when using it)

It is a US only offer from purchasing your device at the Microsoft Store. So its not an AT&T offer, but simply a benefit you get from getting your device at the Microsoft Store in the US.

Unfortunately in the US, buying the phone for full price does not give you an automatic unlock. You are still completely bound by the terms and conditions of the carrier you bought the phone from. Its an AT&T exclusive, which means AT&T probably won't unlock it until they decide otherwise.

It's not as portly as the 920 which is a bit of a bonus in my view.
My oldest Son and I each got new 1020's, got the Wife a 920. The 1020 besides have a game changing camera (and app, that will come to the 920 with the next update) is thinner, lighter, and has a better screen. They also use Matte colors instead of the Gloss of the 800/900 series. (not a plus, just different.)
To say the 1020 is ugly is silly, from the front they look exactly the same. From the top, bottom, sides the 1020 is slimmer. The back does have that large camera, but it has a 6 element F2.2 Zeiss lens, a LED for focus help and video, a Xenon flash for pics (more natural lighting) so its the most functional back in a mobile phone yet.
I wasn't going to before but I'd actually like to sell my 920 to get a 1020. Really wanna play with that camera. (Don't have an upgrade available though as I used it to get a Galaxy s4 that I traded a guy for his Surface Pro)

I would really like a titan, as right now I sold my galaxy s2 and I am using a samsung focus. The thing is everything I'm reading seems to be bad, should I just wait for the titan 2? I mean I don't care about LTE, or the 16mp cam. So I could get the titan for $370 off contract and I have the money from the GS2... Should I steer clear? I think the antenna issue has been solved or helped by just lifting the pins, If I understand correctly, so there that.

My contract with Verizon expired and I bought the HTC Titan over the weekend, I won't use AT&T since they are EXPENSIVE compared to some other GSM carriers around here... Having only Edge doesn't bother me since I'm surrounded by Wifi all day. But yea and i heard paper clips work magic.
It's your personal Choice... Titan II will be more expensive and it has a plastic(ithink) back so it would have better reception and LTE... Even who knows what kind of issues that phone would have.
If you can get it off contract that has a return policy atlease 2weeks that should be enough time to see what it has wrong.

Not all Titans have the antenna issues. If you don't care about LTE and 16MP cam, then I think rather than throwing away money for Titan2, you will be better off getting the Titan 1. It's much cheaper than Titan 2 and as far as sturdiness goes, the Titan 2 has a light weight plasticy cover (very unlike HTC!) whereas Titan has metallic back, sturdy look. Titan will be upgradable to Windows Phone 8 as far as the news and rumours stand true - so all in all win win.

The Titan would be a great phone, but I guess I am one of the unlucky ones. I dont have reception issues but the call quallity anoyes me as well as the random reboots I have everyday. I have decided to cancel my upgrade with a wait and see attitude of what problems the Titan 2 has, or Lumia 900.

I think they've had the most rubbish stock of Titan! I hope Nokia Lumia 900 is a different story with those guys!
yes at&t...
Looking to make the switch from Android (Atrix 2) over to Windows and really like the Titan. Does anyone know or have one that they would like to sale or trade?
I know that Microsoft stores have them for free but I am not located anywhere close to a MS Store .
PM me.
Thanks.
How much are you willing to pay?
i will probably be selling mine once the nokia lumia 900 comes out. i have an at&t model. i unlocked it too, so its running on t-mobile right now.

Lumia 900 will surely be much better than current Lumia phones. It's the spearhead for WP and The top notch phone that is Apollo-ready too!
For me the polycarbonate i.e. plastic feel is the only make or break deal. I feel HTC's metallic body is SO stready. When I hold a lumia it makes me feel like those LG phones back in the days (viewty etc). So the feel and looks will mainly lure you towards the deal. Plus remember - if you are after LTE Lumia 900 is capable of it, but not Titan. Titan 2 is capable but again platic back cover.

Go for Lumia 900! I just got Lumia 800 last week and I love it!
The screen size difference is 0.4 inches but the AMOLED with ClearDark display beats the S-LCD and it feels so pleasant to use. On top of that you get the Nokia's OEM exclusive softwares and constant updates.
However, I think the extra is just £60 more if that. Unless you can get your hands on some cheap HTC Titan. Also, this is a pure speculation but Lumia 900 might have better chances of upgrading to Windows phone 8 in next 6-8 months.
I chose the Titan as I love the HUGE display. Only got it on Wednesday and I love it. As for the Super LCD vs Amoled, the Amoled will have richer colours but some say they are too rich and saturated. I put my Titan next to my HD2 which has a standard LCD screen and the difference was night and day. SLCD is very impressive and probably just as good as amoled without the potential problems of amoled screens (burn in).
As for software support, HTC have their own apps in the app store including Locations which is a GPS Sat Nav with downloadable maps for offline navigation, spoken instructions etc. In a recent Youtube comparison, the user preferred Locations Sat Nav to Nokia Drive.
If this matters to you, Titan has a removable battery (good for spares). Nokia's battery is built in and non removable.
Good price now for sim free £285 on Amazon UK
http://www.amazon.co.uk/HTC-TITAN-Free-Windows-Smartphone/dp/B005JC48OI
One final point, the Nokia Lumia 900 is virtually the same size as the Titan and yet the Titan has a bigger screen.
It is totally your call. Go to a Carphone Warehouse and check out the Titan hands on.
Hello all,
My Lumia 800 has began to develop a screen issue. Just wanted to see if anyone else has had a similar experience.
I've been noticing that when my screen displays red or blue on medium and low brightness settings, there are lines that run across the screen. They seem like discolored pixels.
I'll post pictures once my roommate gets back. I have to borrow his computer to use his SD card reader. I put Windows 8 on my Vaio Z and the SD card reader won't work anymore...
[UPDATE] Photos
Anyone know if this is normal for AMOLED screens?
Probably your unit has some issues...I only get a similar issue (not as apparent tho) when on a white screen, and this is due to the pentile matrix, but those colours should should be fine on AMOLEDs. I also just tried an orange wallpaper and I don't get any lines whatsoever. The only behaviour I'd call normal on AMOLED panels will have to be the spots of light you see on a black screen and the whites looking dirt from time to time , but I've never seen one doing that. Maybe you should sent it for repair.

Darn. Unfortunately, I live in the United States and my phone (Puerto Rico Variant) is not covered under warranty as far as I know. Is there an international warranty? Mine is unlocked and unbranded.
I can perform the repair myself by ordering a screen off Amazon ($120).
Or this can be an excuse to jump to a Lumia 920

Well, switching to the 920 is probably the best option however replacing a screen on a 800 is easy as pie. I did it for a friend of mine a while ago and it took like 5 minutes, you just gotta be a little careful not to mark the case in the process.

There's a screen on sale on Amazon for about $120. Are there other places to get it for cheaper? Thanks!
A quick update...
I contacted Amazon and told them that my 8-month old phone was defective. To my surprise, they are giving me a full refund ($600)!!!
I've never seen customer service like this before. I must've gotten real lucky this time. I don't know how or why, but they offered me a full refund. I felt bad at first and told them I'd be happy with just $200 credit, but they couldn't do that for whatever reason.
Anyway, my Lumia 800 is sad now and it's going home in a box. I'm going to use the refund to buy a 920, but I'm having a hard time parting with the 800...Maybe I'll get another 800 once the price comes down as a souvenir.

Hmmm that's not very good longevity for the Amoled screen then. I returned the phone and got $500 back (after a $110 restocking fee). I'm back to using my HTC HD2 and I miss my Lumia's responsiveness.

You know, I wasn't sure that the 920 or Windows Phone 8 in general had anything that would make me drop $200 that I could spend on a tablet or something. Even thought the 920 camera is often and the Nokia people show their WP users way more love than HTC, my Titan is way better than "good enough."
But then rumors were that the 920 was going to actually sell for $150. Then it actually went on sale at $99. Now Walmart is selling it for $49. Then, in literally the last two days, my Titan has been getting sluggish for the first time ever. Now you're reminding me that my call quality is so bad that the phone aspects of the Titan are borderline useless.
Sold.
