Nokia Lumia 920

Any idea how much this phone is likely to be on a reasonable monthly plan with the cheaper carriers like emobile or meteor, say an 18 month contract at around 30-40 euros a month?

Not sure why but I really want one...

It's price is similar to the Galaxy S3 so what ever that costs on the contract, the 920 would probably be close to it.

Just wondering what colour everyone would get if they were getting the 920: black, grey, white, red or yellow. I think I'd go for red or yellow because I'm sick of every phone out there being black or white only

Red yellow white Black. In that order :-) red or yellow depending what it looks in real life

Love the look of the cyan but by all accounts it won't be immediately available in Europe. In that case it looks like grey for me. I think it will go well with almost any colour theme and I would prefer the matte finish to the glossy. Might change my mind when I see them in real life though!

+1, was just going to post that. Matt cyan would be the ideal I think, red and yellow are pretty nice too, but out of the likely available ones, matt grey does it most for me.

pleasant Co. · 20-10-2012 06:17PM

Matte grey was the one i had my eye on too, you've good taste

I have the Cyan lumia 800 and love the colour so I'm 99% sure my 920 will be Cyan too

Does anybody know if we will be able to buy the 920 unlocked in Ireland? When?

rickyjb · 23-10-2012 11:06AM

Anyone know for definite whether you'll be able to drag and drop files on to this, or will you need to use some ridiculous microsoft software to add music?

BostonB · 23-10-2012 11:12AM

iPhone use iTunes, Windows phone use Zune. Can't see any reason they'll change that.

No one knows cause they haven't announced it yet. They will reveal all soon

WPCentral are saying 100% yes that you can drag and drop

http://www.wpcentral.com/does-windows-phone-8-have-usb-mass-storage-support-course-it-does

Windows Phone Daily are saying the same
http://www.windowsphonedaily.com/2012/07/rumor-windows-phone-8-supports-usb-mass.html

Still we'll have to wait till the 29th to know for sure. Also its pretty much known that Zune will be replaced.

stevenmu · 23-10-2012 11:42AM

The rumour is that you'll be able to drag and drop files to the SD card if you have one installed, but like evolutionqy7 says, we don't know much/anything for sure yet.

youcancallmeal · 23-10-2012 11:44AM

I was under the impression it would be managed by the new xbox music and will similar to Zune music. Havent used Zune software in ages so not sure if they had done away with their syncing system that was similar to iTunes?

It's not that bad once you get used to it. Makes it a lot simpler tbh. Zune plays random music for me and then I just click on sync on what I like and it's in my phone.

It definitely makes handling simpler.

stevenmu · 23-10-2012 02:16PM

It's a pain for me. I rarely listen to music on my PC/laptop, so Zune exists purely for copying music over, which would be much easier if I could just pick folders and drag and drop them. I can see how Zune would be useful if you were using it anyway for listening, and building up playlists etc that you want to sync, but if you're not using it then it becomes an extra step in the process.

It's still way better than iTunes, at least it doesn't keep hijacking/moving/renaming my music, but it would be better still to just not use it.

BostonB · 23-10-2012 02:23PM

Things like iTunes and Zune are mainly useful for fixing the tag database and building up other data from your playing history. Theres usually no way of doing that with drop and drag.

There are a lot of ways of doing this via your pc/laptop with programs that don't require everything to be synced. Once your folders are correct you just drag and drop the music, simple. Or why not just have a music player that can play from folders? Zune would be a pain if that's the only way you can copy music on to your phone.

I was under the impression that you couldn't put a micro SDHC card into the 920, only the 820? Maybe I'm wrong as this would make no sense, giving the 820 more storage capacity.

If there's an SD slot on either of them, I'm sold. Only sticking with iPhone because on the 64gb on storage space.

Drag and drop generally refers to not using other programs. Though be aware being pedantic about your actually referring to USB MSC or UMS. As you can being technical about it, drag and drop things into iTunes and similar programs and many companies call that drag and drop to confuse the issue.

How else can you get historical playback and rating and other information back from the player if the data is not synced back? Thats the main reason for it.

Its a personal choice, its not right/wrong decision. Some people like all the extra features having a database and tagging give you. Some people don't.

Its already been fully confirmed the 820 will have take sd cards and 920 won't. 920 has 32gb though which will probably be enough for most people

As far as things go both the 820 and the Ativ-S should support 64GB Micro SD cards.

I always find it bizarre people still wanting masses of storage. People should be synching their phones weekly if not daily.
Use Cloud and streaming services more. I'm a heavy user and rarely go over 8-16GB in use. Although I do only keep about 6GB of music, I use spotify most of the time instead.

People like to have options. It's better to have more storage than not enough. Phone arena did a poll not too long ago. Most of phone arena readers had more than 32GB storage

Average folks would find 16 to be more than enough. I find 32GB perfect and 16 sliglimited limited

I find my internet and 3G connection just too glitchy to really enjoy streamed music.. Besides which a lot of the stuff I listen to isn't on it.

even without streaming. I connect my phone to my laptop daily and synch over any music/ photos i want but i guess option is better than nothing and given size of the likes of the 920 it must have room for it somewhere in that bulk

BostonB · 24-10-2012 05:00PM

I don't really have time for that. Even if I did it would be painfully slow for GB's of music. Besides if a €40 MP3 player or phone can have a card slot I don't see why a €400+ phone can't. Its just a means of locking down music transfer for no good reason.
