RP-TCN120 | Panasonic

The MRP is slightly on the higher side so buy from eBay using Discount Coupon. Also, that Rs. 400 model is no more listed in the Philips site.

Thanks for the links. Checking it out.

^ Wow. That's great.
It seems "Other" problem is resolved on high-end lumias. Lets see on low-ends..

Zune is not detecting my phone, but windows7 show it as 'Windows phone' in explorer.
Any ideas for Zune? BTW, my zune is of recent version.

Zune isn't needed. Drag and drop, or that Windows Phone app both should work.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

In WP8, software updates are OTA(over the air). You don't need a PC anymore. Just download the update on the phone itself and it will be installed.

The phone handles it itself, OTA (is that what its called ?)

settings > phone update > check for updates.

You do need a wifi connection though (If the update is large enough I think)

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

^ Thank you both. My friend (L710) updated his WP to WP7.8 via Zune. Hence, the confusion..

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

Update: Contrary to what someone here said (Gearbox ?) I find my battery discarging at a slightly faster rate with the new update. (~5% per hour with wifi on, no battery saver and my regular use of ~3 messges per hour or so and some 3 news apps running in the background. Earlier this was about 3-4% per hour) Could be just some rogue process since I didnt really do any manual reset after the update. Will keep you guys posted.

Update 2: False alarm. Nothing to worry. 7 hours of data on all the time (including some 5-10 minutes of map, some 15 minutes of browsing and all my usual sync, wifi on but not connected, 20-25 pics, 1 hr of music) and battery down to 52% from 100. Thats very reasonable IMO

Roommate has a 520, which was gifted by me and a few friends. I'm on Android, but by the looks of it, I'll probably move to WP eventually.

l520.

first sightings of windows phone 8.1. adduplex also reports “quite a few phones running windows phone 8.1,” the upcoming next version of windows phone. These are mostly nokia p4301 test devices, but there are also some htc 8x and lumia 920s in there too. Adduplex reports the build numbers as being in the 8.10.12072 to 8.10.12079.0 range. By comparison, my windows phone 8-based lumia 920 is running build 8.0.10211.204.

Yes, the WP 8.1

As an aside, I visited the marketplace today. So many new apps and by so many I am talking only about good looking apps, not those run off the mill app-for-the-sake-of-it apps.

Downloaded some 5-6 to try them out.
One being a nice looking app for The Hindu. Then there are some apps which wont interest everyone : Astronomy hub, Football matchcentre, Grapher calculator, gym pocketguide, Topgear
