Re: The Windows Phone Thread

Bought Lumia 520 for dad yesterday as a Father's day gift. :D
Now I am scratching head for somethings and trying to find answers for some. But since I have an experience of using Windows phone 7 before, it's not all too new for me.

If you have the moolah, nothing beats the 920.

But the range of prices that the phones you mentioned cover vary greatly. So TBH, the priciest one is most likely to be best choice for a person without budget restraints and the cheapest for the ones with the tightest budget (Here its the Lumia 620, although you might want to look at the Lumia 520 which is even cheaper at ~9.5k INR)

Also, if you are planning to buy a WP8 device, have a look at them first to see if it satisfies your needs. WP phones are very different from Android phones (The specifications between android phones and WP phones cannot be compared directly, no "free versions of paid games using cracked .apk" or no 'Temple Run 2' or 'Real racing 3')

In short, if you have any doubts, ask us. Don't jump headfirst into WP :)

Microsoft has offered several top tier developers upwards of $100,000 to bring key apps to its mobile platform, and that’s in addition to smaller incentives currently open to anyone.
For the month of June Microsoft is also offering developers of any size a cool $100 for any app that gets published to the store up to a maximum of $2,000.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

So now I am somehow part of WP age (now that my dad have Lumia 520) here's my first problem that I also put up on Windows Phone forum :

AFAIK, Windows Server 2008 R2 is mostly Windows 7 (from the kernel level). So why is it that I get an error stating that I can't instal the Windows Phone app on server edition of windows?

I really don't understand this limitation!

So doest this means that I can't use PC Suite for my newly bought Lumia 520 which have Microsoft OS on a Genuine Windows Server 2008 R2 Operating system from Microsoft?

Is there any turn around for this?

I know this is not going to help you directly, but why do you want the Windows phone app to be installed on the PC ?

Well, I don't know. Isn't it required to copy files between both devices? And if I want to access internet on phone through pc? (Without Wi-Fi, reverse tethering).

You won't need a PC suite (Old Nokia devices) or Zune (WP7) for current-gen Lumia devices.
When you connect the Phone, WP will be recognized as a mass storage device. You can transfer your files directly. But, there are limitations to the file format that you transfer to.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

What worries me that the battery entries are still supposedly 2000mAh. That is not something I wish to see with the S800.

Also I dont understand how a natively coded OS with restricted background apps like WP8 gets roughly the same battery life as a much worse (in battery terms) java based Android that lets apps run even on the background. That one has been confusing me for ages now.
Just look at the 2300mAh battery on the GS4 and how long it lasts :|

Something just isnt right.

What about reverse Tethering w/o WiFi.. is it possible with Lumia devices?

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

Am afraid, you can't.
There isn't an option in WP8, and no tools too (as like Android)
