Naw, she reached for the pepper grinder from the cupboard, it fell over and onto the screen. Phone went flying. The pepper grinder is much bigger than the one pictured.

Glass is fine. LCD is not. :okay:

I think we need to stop using Nokia phones. :p

lol that sucks

the lcd may have been knocked loose i remember my cousins e72 had that happen he dropped it and the lcd wouldnt turn on so i opened it up to replace the lcd (bought a new one) and found that the cable was just knocked out

this phone is looking pretty good and definitely worth to consider.

sorry, haven't really been keeping up this thread.
when is this phone going to be released in Canada? which carriers?

dasani604 10-07-2012 01:39 AM

November, exclusively for Rogers (for now) and only in Black. I'm quite disappointed by this limitation in colour. This will be bad for Nokia in Canada. Hopefully this is like the Galaxy Nexus where it was exclusive to Bell only for a few weeks.

StylinRed 10-07-2012 02:07 AM

Well the Microsoft stores that they're putting up across canada (2 in bc; oakridge and metrotown) will likely have the lumias for sale and hopefully in all the colours

when approx are these 2 Microsoft stores going to open? this phone might be worth checking out.

bcrdukes 10-07-2012 01:18 PM

October 26 and 27 from what I've heard.

Yep Oct.26 along with the sale of the Microsoft Surface RT. Rumored pricing for the RT is around $399 (with the Pro version coming later in the year/next year for around $799). The RT version comes with Microsoft Office included, so I believe that's a steal. The Pro's specs are better but I personally can't justify paying near the price of an ultrabook for a tablet.

Pro also runs anything windows 8 runs. RT can only run apps made for RT. $400 is to much for RT when companies will be making tablets with Intel Atom CPUs for the same price.

i know its exclusive for rogers in black, but that is only for a subsidized phone right?

can i still purchase it from nokia canada unlocked and in any colour i want?

Did not know that. I guess I'll avoid RT then.

It's hard to say. As mentioned earlier, the Microsoft stores may carry coloured unlocked versions when the time comes (probably along with HTC/Samsung WP8 phones)

Not from Nokia Canada but you'll find them from 3rd party shops/websites; you can already find pre-orders like so Lumia920 Lumia820

and you might find them at the Microsoft pop-up stores, not confirmed, but at the microsoft stores in the states you were able to get the first gen lumias unlocked

blahblahblahblah

EDIT: don't listen to the above. I was at Metro today and the signs say October 26 so I think I am a head case.

dasani604 10-20-2012 10:46 PM

The Microsoft booths have a nice clean presentation for the Surface.

I played around with a dummy model of the Lumia 920 at Rogers today. I can finally be free of Samsung's obvious plastic :sweetjesus:

Although, I can't decide between waiting for a Cyan colour or going with the Black colour (seeing how all Surface tablets will be black minus the cover)

StylinRed 10-20-2012 11:36 PM

i like the grey 920 but it looks like that's going to be the rarest (no1s getting it)

I don't know if you'll be able to switch between languages but I do know there are & will be Chinese editions with the chinese language & input installed

iirc wp8 is supposed to allow downloading of language packs but it was during a time when i had very very little interest for wp

edit: yep microsoft says that WP8 will have support for over 50 languages
http://blogs.windows.com/windows_pho...s-phone-8.aspx

they don't mention how it would be delivered though

edit2: yep "Windows Phone 8 will feature downloadable keyboards for different languages, meaning devices will no longer be restricted to whatever is "baked in" to the OS."

woob 10-21-2012 02:10 PM

Omg the cyan has a matte/satin finish like the grey and black. I think ima wait for it.

Porschedog 10-22-2012 12:12 PM

Dang the Lumia looks promising... too bad my contract is not up until next year.

By then, you'll probably have more choice on colours as opposed to just black for who knows how long.

StylinRed 10-29-2012 09:31 AM
