did u do a hard reset?

Wow. Digicel going to sell the 620, 820 and 920! Good on them. Don't know why bmobile so lame. If you're a gamer I would say go with the 820 if the 920 is too expensive or big etc. Right now only the 820 and 920 have 1Gb of ram. The 620, 720 and 520 all have 512Mb of ram. Most of the newer graphic intensive games coming out on WP8 are initially coming with a 1Gb ram being a requirement. Also Microsoft do warn that some apps may not work on phones with less than 1 Gb of ram.

Well, if big companies like gameloft are optimizing their games to work with 512MB and doing it well, I don't think the 512mb would be that much of a problem. Asphalt 7 looks great on a 620 with 512mb.

my 800 fell and the screen shatter it was working fine after,i was just gonna order a screen and replace it. 3 days later battery died, put it to charge, it shows the battery thing and when its time to turn on, it sticks on nokia ....it not even recognizing on the computer....any ideas guys?

You can try downloading the firmware and flashing it manually

The king of camera smartphones has arrived



Nokia just unveiled its latest PureView creation: the Lumia 1020.

At first blush, it's impressive. The 1020 is handsome and sleek, rounded and not quite so boxy and large as some of the other Lumia phones we've seen. It's not small, though: the 41-megapixel lens coming out the back is large enough that it props the phone up off a table when it's laid down flat, and the 1020 certainly doesn't match the sleekness of the 920. The device comes in black, yellow, and white...

Microsoft buys Nokia's devices unit in a $7.2 billion bid for its mobile future

One of the most enticing "what-ifs" of recent years has come true: Microsoft has purchased Nokia's Devices and Services unit. The move unites Windows Phone 8 with its biggest hardware supporter, and gives the company an integrated solution it simply hasn't had — and has searched for with the Surface and other devices. When the deal closes in the first quarter of 2014, Microsoft will pay 3.79 billion Euros for Nokia's business, plus another 1.65 billion Euros for its portfolio of patents. (The 5.44 billion Euro total is considerably less than Microsoft paid for Skype in 2011.) 32,000 people are expected to transfer from Nokia to Microsoft, including 18,300 that are "directly involved in manufacturing."

Goodbye "Nokia"

There will never be another Nokia smartphone

The Nokia brand name, one of the most storied marks in mobile, will never grace another smartphone.

Under the terms of Microsoft's $7.2 billion acquisition of Nokia's devices and services division, the "Asha" and "Lumia" trademarks will transfer to Redmond, but the "Nokia" mark will remain property of the Finnish company, and may only be used on feature phones running the basic Series 30 and Series 40 operating systems under a 10-year license agreement. (Nokia itself is barred from using the Nokia brand on any mobile devices at all until December 31st, 2015.) That means any future Windows Phones built by the newest division of Microsoft will be Microsoft-branded — and that Nokia has said its goodbyes to a smartphone market it once helped to create.

That's a quiet exit for what was once a powerhouse of smartphone innovation. Let's take a moment by gazing at some of Nokia's wildest smartphone designs.

[mero]

No Amber for me yet either but I have the unlocked At&t 920.

From what I read, they're skipping it and just launching GDR3 sometime in October/November.
Rumour was At&t was trying hard to remove the Data Sense App which comes which it... for obvious business reasons, thats why it was kept back for so long


Btw why the hell they didn't make a 32gb 925 across the board? Such a nice phone, really can't survive with that 16GB though

as for storage.. i donno either... the 8gb on my 820is done.. OTHER storage is a pain in the arse.. GDR2 has a fix for it but guess what!?... grrrr

[fouljuice]

Last night when I checked it said it had an update but didn't say what.

Download update>install>restart but nothing look like it change.
So I checked again and another update showed up but with the build number for the GDR2.

Installed it and it updated the build number/added some features. But I keep 'checking for updates' hoping for the Amber update, but apparently you had to tap on the 'Store' icon and update everything else, through there.

Phone is unbranded/unlocked (no at&t,verizon,etc logo) but had a bmobile sim at the time.

Just update the Nokia system apps like audio, display etc. The Amber update is specific to Nokia phones therefore u don't have to update all your apps

Hi Guys

I'm thinking of getting a simple Nokia Lumia as a 2nd handset.
I've never used a Windows phone so excuse the questions.
Has anyone tried the personal hotspot feature on a Lumia 520 / 620? Does it work on Bmobile / Digicel?
How can I get the handset unlocked if I need to? What's the cost?

Thanks

the hotspot works fine on the 620 (which I recommend over the 520)

The 520 is a superb personal media player tho... It's like an iPod touch with phone capability for wayyyyy less.

Both a fairly cheap unlocked on Amazon... 150 and 200
