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.

I think we need to stop using Nokia phones.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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)

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."

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