Holy crap that was just beyond awesome of Mr. Gates to do that, bless him indeed!

Bill Gates is what you would call an honorable aristocrat among a den of thieves. Virtually every business man in old money has their hands covered in blood, but not him. He's a giver, and that's something I can respect. :)

Typing this post up from my new Lumia 520.. the screen is a little sensitive to the touch though..
And here's what T&I looks like from it: Spoiler:
|
That looks nice, Zach! I hope you continue to enjoy your new phone. :)
|
I think Zach started a trend. T&I from my new iPad Mini (sorry Mac):

You actually figured out how to take a screenshot? :)

I'm just glad I have an actual smartphone now and not some feature phone. Hoping soon though to get it activated with a micro SIM card, and possibly a micro SD card for it as well so I can have expanding storage.
|
Speaking of sensitive touchscreens, you might want to poke around in the Settings. There's an option for super-sensitive touch. Try messing around with that.

I haven't read any manuals yet on the phone XD but it seems that I cannot have the phone turned off while charging.. I've tried turning it on while charging and it just turns on instead of showing a charging screen.

I don't really find much use for off-mode charging, to be honest. Things charge pretty fast on my old-as-heck Lumia 900. |
I managed to get the phone all activated today and they used the SIM card that came with it and just transferred my number and the contacts onto the phone. Probably going to cut out a micro SIM-to-mini SIM card adapter in case I have to go back to my Razr should something happen to the 520.

Sometimes I really wish I could just go out and get a Nokia Lumia 520. The problem seems to be essentially trading significantly better performance and expandable storage for worse everything else.
I think I'm not ready to give up the 4.3" AMOLED display, the dual-LED flash, or the 8 MP shooter. Or the front-facing camera. Yet. |
Which phone do you have again? IIRC it was limited to Windows Phone 7..
Performance shouldn't be too much of a problem for me. Browsing in IE on my phone is very smooth and so is Skype. |
It's a Nokia Lumia 900 - the "old flagship", which at this point is... well, yeah. Technically speaking, the phone is only two generations old - I think it was competing with the likes of Samsung Galaxy S II and Apple iPhone 4S.
I think I have more problems with IE9 Mobile being usable but very ugly if the website wasn't made with Windows Phone 7 in mind (namely, no web font support) and/or when the mobile website likes to re-layout the entire page. Even though the Trident engine, Chakra scripting engine, and Direct2D renderer are really fast, especially on a CPU-constrained environment, you can only do so much given limited resources. |
Correction, it came out the same month as the SIII, so its actually a generation old.

Which is why I had trouble classifying things. Pre2010 it was easy defining a generation, just use MWC in February as the pre-launch month, with March the launch period for every year.
|
My phone is definitely a last year's phone as it launched in November 2012 on my carrier and I got it in January 2013. It's still a solid phone and I like it a lot. It's a Galaxy Note II.
|
One should treat the Nokia Lumia 900 as a bigger version of the Nokia Lumia 800 for the most part.
