HTC announced their Windows Phone 8 handsets today.

HTC 8x is the current flagship and HTC 8S is their low end handset. Nice looking phones...however the 8X resembles the Nokia Lumia!

[original_lollybob]

This review expresses exactly what I think.

[Sky]

I have a simple question that may have been answered before. Can't rummage through.
Does the win 7.5 join a homegroup well?
Looking at a Lumia 800 (ahainst the HTC one x).
Used one over the weekend at home and I love how it can use my one note stuff off skydrive (was problematic though). I love that phone and the homegroup abilities could be the deciding factor.

[original_lollybob]

By far the most useful app I've used - RapDialer

[original_lollybob]

I dont use that app for one reason

it doesnt show missed calls on the live tile

[~*SiLvA MeRa*~]

guys, just picked up a lumia 800 for the wifey, don't know if i am missing something really simple but when you are on a call and a second call comes through, i am hearing the beep indicating a second call but the screen is blank and i have no way of telling who is calling, what am i doing wrong?

[original_lollybob]

did u buy a screen guard that wasnt designed for the phone? it may be blocking the proximity sensor so the phone doesnt recognise its away from your face to light back up

[gastly369]

def your proximity sensor check if anything blocking it .

[~*SiLvA MeRa*~]

the only thing on the phone is the Nokia provided case which came with the phone, i will remove it and check if it helps later, thanks for the input guys..

Got a Lumia 800 today. Should I let the battery be drained before charging it or can i charge it now?

[original_lollybob]

Nr8... Update it to the latest version

That's critical... Then u can charge as u so desire

[NR8]

^^ Thanks. Loving this phone!

Sent from my Lumia 800 using Board Express

[trini mk5]

I love my 800, only complaint so far is that it doesnt have a close all apps button like on android with their trash can. Other than that is really great, smooth as silk, just as fast as the iphone 4s,& 5 even the s3 in certain tasks and with certain apps...i've tested it.
When the 920 drops in price i will get that.

[NR8]

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?
