got my case and screen protector today... when i purchased phone they gave me a blackberry pouch and iphone screen protector :\

i despise cases... if however i had a ruggedised case on my phone it would still be alive all now tho

it would also have been alive if i remembered it was wrapped in my towel and didnt throw it down

[original_lollybob]

RASC, i still think the 800 is a better phone than the 900

the 900 just looks... not as sexy.

but go for either one nowwwwwwww

these are the gprs settings... u know i called tstt for this and they said i had to come in for a tech to do it?

Dear Windows Phone: Get Your sheit Together
We love Windows Phone. It was a hugely important step forward for how people think about phones. It promised to be a true, thoughtful, original alternative to the iPhone. But it still kinda sucks.

It shouldn't be like this. Nokia's Lumia 800 and 900 Windows Phones are plum delightful hunks of hardware. And the OS is constructed so that somewhat lackluster guts aren't really an issue. And, frankly, WP is mature enough that its major flaws should be distant (bad) memories. What happened?

WP7 users download bingle maps on yr mobile must have mobile internet access also
set map source to google maps


http://codifying.wordpress.com/binglemaps/

ah doh get lost so again

[original_lollybob]

^
does it have a good map of trinidad? with street names?

cause as awesome as Nokia Maps is, trinidad is poorly mapped.

Not liking the need for data on that app tho

[gastly369]

yeh its decent enough basically its google map street view on yr phone .. it tracks you while you drive also

its this exact map http://maps.google.com/ street view and you'll get the names of most streets

and a pointer where you at on the map atm so while you drive it moves pretty accurate tbh

[M_2NR]

didnt intial reports say that there will be no tango to apollo transition (like they did for the HD2). I mean i like wp7 and some devices are pretty affordable like the focus but that is just horrid of M$ again!

[original_lollybob]

i donno...

i cant see the lumia line becoming obsolete in 8 months so...

[stev]

hey guys, not sure if it was mentioned in this thread b4 but does anyone know where i can purchase a screen for he dell venue pro locally?

[original_lollybob]

Doubt anyone gonna be stocking that here

Most u could do is ask a retailer to import for u... Of course most of them gonna ask u what kinda BB that is

U could prolly check dell authorized resellers to import it for u

[original_lollybob]

Rep says that Windows Phone 8 is for current gen phones

Waggener Edstrom person says MSFT has Windows 8 (for x86), Windows RT (for next-gen ARM), & Windows Phone 8 (for current-gen phones).

If he has a skybox he can bring it down himself and change the screen himself. Did that with a BB. Saved about $400.

I would advise that he first make sure there are vids on youtube that show you how to do it. Once you think you're able. Check Amazon and you go from there. Just make sure you buy the right screen. BB screens have different serial numbers for the same model phone, don't know if it's the same with the Dell.

Just an option to consider

^^ good..i hope it is true.
