PhantomNZ: Has anyone here flashed their 920 to the unbranded country variant at all? 1232.2109.1242.1001 RM-821_CV_AU_VAR244486_12421_002_Black_V1_colour I admit I'm a bit of a coward - what does the unbranded version do over the one that comes from Telecom?

Probably nothing, but I was just wondering. I got mine from Dubai and it has middle east firmware on it so I have more reason to do it than most here.

kawaii: Kopkiwi: kawaii: Just bought one 2 hours ago from Harvey Norman in Lower Hutt - last one on the shelf and I threw it on the 15 months interest free. Beautiful phone, great experience - a little hick up during the setup/configuration process but great none the less. It appears that Microsoft has finally 'gotten it' with their partnering up with Nokia. Please don't tempt me. I can't afford to move away from Andriod lol It definitely worth it. If you want a phone with all the drama of updates and broken applications due to version fragmentation then Windows Phone 8 a definite improvement over Windows Phone 7. I've upgraded from a Lumia 900 to Lumia 920 - it is definitely worth it.

It should probably be "without" in that sentence.

OK, here's one... If you go into a contact (People hub), and that contact has an address, and you click it to "map" it - on my phone, Nokia Maps does NOT open up, the old Map (per WP7/7.5) opens up. Which is good! - because the data is way more up-to-date. Possibly better resolution too? So the old Maps is on your phone - but they've obviously hidden the app (or somethin' like that). Cheers, Duncan.

Hmmm. Not for me. The maps are certainly Nokia Maps.

kawaii: robax: I set the new phone up, charged it up, then left it sitting on my desk overnight. This morning it required a soft reset to bring it back... yikes! It hasn't happened again since, but I'll see what happens tonight and decide what to do tomorrow. Had it occur once during the setup process but hasn't occurred since so fingers crossed that everything is ok. It seems to have survived the night, so yeah, hopefully it's not a bung one again. I'm counting on the announced early December patch to deal with minor reset issues, but the previous phone was just so bad it was unusable.

Badboy2303: As per Bring back native Maps on Nokia Windows Phones Thanks... Interesting that someone would prefer Bing Maps when Nokia/NAVTEQ is the push now. The Nokia HERE framework has everything needed to be adopted by other manufacturers and platform/application developers.

What's missing for me are things that are more obscure such as decent music/sequencer/synth apps and also all the cool 3D games we see on IOS/Android. We have Armed and Harvest, but we've had them for nearly 2 years. Rob Excellent post, thanks for the effort!
