I don't know which Engadget you're reading but the one I read is more then fair to WP7 platform. Just today they posted reviews for Focus S and 800 and both were well-balanced. Gizmodo, on the other hand.. Don't get me started on those Apple shills :mad:
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
I don't think its any question that they would recommend windows phone. Even some of the mods on engadget that were pretty anti windows found a lot of good in the OS since Mango

dang it is hard to type with one eye =/
[Windows Phone 7 General] JustinTV773:
go read the review of the titan and you'll see what I'm referring to.

[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
besides indicating the screen is too big for the dpi and resolution what else do you want? It's just an opinion. Aren't we getting too insane over this?
[Windows Phone 7 General] AnyMal:
Having handled Titan myself I completely agree with Engadget.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
I was listening to a This Is My Next podcast a week ago where they were talking about how streaming radio services like Spotify etc. have this problem where you can't just buy a song when it's not available for streaming and make a playlist with both purchased and online tracks. One of them then said, "wait, doesn't Zune have that?". Nobody was sure, but they ended up suggesting that it doesn't let you purchase individual songs so it's the same crap as every other similar service.

And in their latest podcast they were speculating about what Apple might do for TV, and suggesting that they should cut deals with Comcasts etc., so that Apple TV could be your set top box. Nobody even mentioned the XBox deal announced by Microsoft.

And then in one of their podcasts they were talking about Windows and totally weren't sure what's there. "Who uses Windows?", one of them said. That one was ludicrous.

So it's not like they are biased, they totally don't know anything about tech outside of what they use. :) Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. Or ignorance, in this case.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Flipping XDA app lost my post... again!

I'm going to defend The Verge and Engadget here. They're feeling on Microsoft is that it's a company that always comes up with these great ideas but don't deliver on them. Or if they do, they do it too late. I can agree with that.

They have good examples of that. Zune (the service, not the device) had it been released on all platforms and territories would be owning the music streaming space now and I'm not too sure people would have cared about Spotify and the likes. They also talk about how Microsoft and Bill Gates had that vision 10 years ago that tablets would be big and about how they got there first, long before anyone else. Today Apple owns the space and Microsoft is only hoping to make a splash with Windows 8.

There is also Live anywhere which was announced like 5 years ago and is still not there. Apple is close to that with the way their devices communicate or the fact that you can buy an app once and use it on different products. Microsoft again thought about it first and let others deliver before them. There are surely other examples.

So yeah their attitude with Microsoft is "fine, we'll see when we get there, which can be in ages". That applies to Mango, they were very excited about it back in February but then it still wasn't coming out by the summer and they got bored of it.

They do love Windows Phone a lot on both outlets but feel like as an OS trying to catch up it's taking too long to mature, especially with a mammoth like Microsoft behind it. Their prime example is gaming, the Xbox 360 is killing it in the gaming industry, yet after a year gaming on Windows Phone is overall ridiculous. That should be the one area of the OS that's top notch.

I don't have inside scoops, just a subscriber to their podcasts :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
They were actually quite enthusiastic about Mango. And no, what you're saying isn't really an excuse. If they criticized it it would be ok. They just didn't know. And not just about Zune, even Windows (you know, that dominant desktop OS).
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
The Verge is an unknown quantity right now but I cannot believe as an Android and Windows Phone owner that you think Engadget is fair. Anything that compete in the Apple space they unfairly review.

Example: Did you read the camera shootout between the iPhone 4S and the GS2 and some other phones? Go check it out and then read the top rated comments. In the original article, all of the N9's sample pics were horribly blurry, yet they did not even mention it. So the blind lovers of Engadget start ripping on the mighty N9. Then some logical people that owned N9s and saw pics from places not called Engadget called them out on it. Next thing they issue an update to the article saying it would seem the sample unit may be faulty. So many things came out of that.

You can smell Engadget's agenda over the internet. Now I do not know if they are in Apple's pocket, or they are riding the hot hand (Apple's ridiculous success means a big audience for them if they are biased towards Apple) but that is the spin zone. So, I am not claiming they are out to get Microsoft, it is more like they are pro Apple.

Some off topic points about XBox. XBox Total sales / years is less than PS3 total sales / years. Also you are forgetting the RROD fiasco. They changed that thing so many times it was insane. I own an Xbox 360 and play it nearly everyday, but that should never be used as the poster child for success. Modding is still rampant, new releases leak like crazy (I am sure you know someone playing MW3 as we speak), and the system is less versatile than the PS3 (why can't I surf the net on my XB360?) Sony is a blumbling drunkard as a company, but luckily MS cannot get its act together.

I do not know if MS is afraid of an antitrust suit, or they have to work within certain guidelines, but they need to have a ubiquitous set of technologies. They are in the 3 major areas (PC, Mobile, Gaming) yet the systems are completely different.

Imagine if you could pop a game made for a PC into your Xbox 360! Surf the net, check emails, and have social networking integrated.

Imagine if you could install programs made for PC on your Windows Phone!

This should be their goal.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Wow I criticise Microsoft and nicksti agree, I can see a storm coming.

On the gaming side (totally off-topic) PS3 and 360 sales are about the same worldwide but attach rate on 360 is like 2-3 times what it is on PS3 so Microsoft is definitely more successful and that's despite the early RROD issues (that are gone) and piracy (which still exists but they've made advancement on this front).

I don't want my console to be a PC so I'm fine that it doesn't have a browser (browsing on a PS3 is awful anyway). And letting you play a PC game on your console is silly, they're a business, not a charity. Not to mention optimisation issues, PC evole much faster than consoles. What they could do though now that they have Windows Phone is let you see through your 360 what you're doing on the phone. Basically come up with Airplay for their products. That's a good way to go around browsing the net for instance.

They are totally clueless regarding what to do with Xbox Live next. You can play CarneyVale: Showtime on all 3 platforms yet they're 3 different games with 3 different saves, 3 different sets of achievements and this is a digital game! You should be able to buy it once and play it anywhere. They know that, that was the idea behind Live Anywhere. But it's been years and in the meantime Apple has already partly delivered on this promise. There really is something wrong with that company.
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
Anyone using one in the US?
[Windows Phone 7 General] NGAHUN:
+1 :-) Nokia Lumia beautiful
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
One more question:

Does Lumia offer more accent colours than other WP7 devices?
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
There is that Fujitsu Phone that was shown off in pink (they call it magenta), then a yellow.

Just googled it. Here is the link.

I have no idea about Fujitsu phones and I am not a fan of how it looks, but it is waterproof.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
how much you wanna bet there are tamper and water indicators inside ?

nothing is water-proof, only resistant.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
I have the feeling these are the same colours which are available on WP7 just boosted in pictures but I may be terribly wrong.

I would like dark grey tiles or black ones. Strange they didn't offer these, such obvious colours.
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
Tell that to the Moto Razr.
[Windows Phone 7 General] weijoon:
If you see the unveil event of the Toshiba-Fujitsu Windows Phone, you will notice that all 3 models are put in the aquarium when they are unveiled.

And, If you manage to get the user manual of it, you will get the warning of which part of the phone you need to close it tight and properly to ensure that the water is blocked from getting into the phone.

So, it is water-proof for me.

On the other hands, no electric/electronic device are water proof. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] epidemike:
Wow you are an asshat... so you tell me that DOA Symbian N9 has a better ecosystem than the the Lumia 800?

The problem with The Verge's review is it is flawed. Just the fact that the Lumia 800 is a WP7 device puts it heads and shoulders in front of the N9.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
OEMs and Carriers can actually add custom colors. I believe the blue that is on the Lumia 800 is actually custom.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
the colour of the tiles also exactly matches the colour of the case
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoobysnacks:
n9 is meego, not Symbian...

Meego is actually awesome
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
What a stupid post.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Has anyone else seen that French campaign? How deceiving for people going to their carrier thinking they will get a FFC.

[YOUTUBE]98fVEcCpyzk[/YOUTUBE]
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
okay now you're reaching like dhalsim...:p

and that's pretty far...I mean granted its your opinion but geez that's a reach
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
I'm honestly not trying to troll. If you've never heard of the exact Lumia 800 specs (i.e the general public) and see that you'll definitely think it has a FFC.

I don't see how this is reaching far.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
It does give the impression that you can have video chat/calls on the phone. A bit deceiving.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Zloy Pryanik:
cool device, I hope nokia will be the best windows phone OS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
not really, stupid they said symbian but the point is valid. wp7 has been rapidly building a good ecosystem. It also has some very fancy cos platform features comming with both xbox and windows 8. also they should be able to easy cross apps from phone to windows 8 giving devs an eco system of billions smashing ios and android there. This is something meego had no chance of building, it was late and had no real chance past a few techies who had an interest in seeing something new. It would never have made it and the only reason it has love right now is because it died before it got started. Nokia with MS have a real chance to back each other to amazing levels of success.

You should also note they will bring phones thick and fast not like htc and samsung who make a couple then wait a year. the lumia is the surface of what is comming.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Make a couple and wait a year. Are you only talking about WP7 devices?

There's only so many ways you cab repackage the hardware.

But HTC had like 5 1st Gen WP7 devices or something.
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoobysnacks:
yeah and they released android phones like people change their underwear lol
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Yes but there are infinite ways to differentiate the handsets on they platform, contrary to wp due to hardware requirements.
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoobysnacks:
Yeah but that isn't necessarily a good thing.

There are a lot of crap android phones that run horribly and never see any updates

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
WTF really one more gb, I am getting more and more confuse and frustrated, specially there is no changelog here. We only can assume that Latest version is rocking and touch screen is more responsive :p

I remember golden days when new user came and ask which one to flash then we recommend without doubt kb3 without hesitation.

Now kph, kpm and so on. One more thing make me angry I nothing feel too great when I switch to kpm from kph. Ya China version has recording feature but I wish any version get video gtalk.

Which is the best version out there will take time to decide.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:

I wonder if they fixed Wifi issue in this. MISLEDZ SHALL CHECK DENENENENENENEN! TO THE BATCAVE

@Prze I love your constant updates, I thought it was going to be time before they released another GB one. I guess this was to fix the issues some had on XXKPM I mean, it makes sense, after M is N LOL
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
I am pretty sure that this version just updated version of xxkpm with notification & wifi problem solved.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alex88510:

To be frank I didn't have either of them before... and so not now also.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
We need CF-ROOT or at least CWM for this version. Has anyone tested KPM CF-Root on this?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AdrenalineX:
we can request skin for CF_ROOT xxkpn

also ganeshbiyer as he ported skin's CF-ROOT to DXKP9
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] frankbel:
Using a CF-ROOT made for another ROM can cause brick or issues, so it is non sense to use it. We must wait for the appropriate CF-ROOT.

-Wifi: OK

-Notifications: OK

-Battery use: I will tell tomorrow.

-Speed: not different than in KPM

Hope it helps.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vndlsm:

push mail sync fix?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] :
Downloading! Thanks TO Samsung, I downloaded nearly 3 gb of data because of them and 60 GB of data from other sources!

---------- Post added at 09:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 AM ----------

I dont think so. Whatsapp, is not givig me push notifications on sleep mod?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fengjia1313:
Thank report
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
So I flashed this from XXKPH with CFRoot for XXKPH and it was direct. Funny part was phone booted up normally and everything. With everything intact O_o WiFI works for sure only due to XXKPH but it drops aswell, I think this is due to the normalboot from XXKPH being used. So I flashed to surprise version and that worked too surprisingly. But the phone reboots and there is WiFi error. Now to test with code's release.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
Push notifications have not been fixed :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fengjia1313:
Do not understand

Also exists?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] luiseteyo:
I don't have that problem. I have push notifications, but I already had them on KPM. I had notificacion problem with KPH
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fengjia1313:
xxkph you have this problem ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chinmay_7d:
so many varies opinions.. dunno whether to flash or stay wid kpm.

newaz.. when i flashed kpm over kpe, all my apps were intact.. will it be same if i flash kpn over kpm.

i guess i should retain my apps... since this one also has a single tar file like kpm.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Unknown_2517:
excuse me but can anyone tell me what is wifi issue & Push notification?

Because i want to check my phone for this problems.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Shaglok:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
Guys,

Ganesh has ported CF-ROOT for kpn, available below:

http://www.multiupload.com/T3KWAGGYY5

This needs to be tested and thank ganesh for his efforts

---------- Post added at 03:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------

All those having push notifications issue, do the following:

Just write "echo 0 > /sys/power/enable_off_mode" without quotes in the terminal emulator or adb and press enter. In this way the phone are prevented to go into deep sleep. Check if push notifications issue appears or not?

OR

install https://market.android.com/details?id=otis8.softlocker from market.. It doesnt allow the device to deep sleep; hence notifications issue shouldnt occur. Kindly test
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] poolakkal Suresh:
Shall be glad to test this once i root. But dude this may eat up battery:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
Yes..this will as compared to deep sleep but if notification issue is fixed, we can use setCPU to control frequency

Kindly copy and paste as mentioned
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fengjia1313:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jasspreet:
