[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
So far it looks like the 800 has a serious list of drawbacks, both well-known, discussed ad nauseum like storage, lack of FFC etc., but also more obscure ones.

1. Horribly pentilish display. Since this tech is based on an optical illusion some people don't notice the problem, but it's worth testing before buying the phone.

2. The flimsy USB port cover is doomed to break or bend with time. It also makes accessories such as docks impossible. The USB port placement on the top of the device will be awkward in some scenarios such as using the phone as a satnav in the car.

3. No equalizer.

4. The camera is average. Very noisy in low light.

This is very unfortunate. It's still an awesome device but clearly not a masterpiece it promised to be.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mickfarr:
Whats this about the display? From every review I've read they've said the display is great? :confused:

Maybe its just a problem with your one?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
There aren't many reviews that talk about the USB port cover either. Yet it breaks and/or bends easily on the N9.

As for pentile, it was mentioned on GSMArena and Engadget. Like I said, it looks like not everybody notices the problem. If you think that Samsung Focus or Nexus S has a great screen you'll be fine with the 800.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
for point 1 this is the first i heard of this so i hope i dont notice it esp as from what i have read the screen is supposed to be amazing.

flimsy cover is something i did think about but i am sure they would of tsted it over and over and im sure i can claim that on warrenty if it goes. As for being on the top i think this is an advantage for sat nav, i mean yeah it looks messier but then so does any plugged in phone on your dash but, when i had my htc desire plugged in i found the lead kept falling out. Saying that my car was a shaky diesel and the usb was quite lose.

I owuld be very shocked if they didnt bring out an equalizer in the form of a software download but tbh everytime i use an equalizer on a phone it loses power and thus goes very quiet on my headphones unless i have an amp and then the amp can equalize.

what i have heard of the camera i am a little dissapointed esp with nokias past. That said it only gets negatived when compared to cameras on much more expensive handsets and gets quite good reviews on its own merits so i dont think its something i will notice.

I personally cant wait to get my Lumia but i can see that Nokia has not yet provided the jesus phone. That being said they have told us they are going to be releasing better spec phones in the USA from Q1 2012. Maybe thats just the Ace but i dont think it will be to long before you see a lumia 810 etc with ffc 32/64gb and improved camera.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
You can check it out beforehand. Just take a look at any Samsung's Super AMOLED (without the Plus) screen - Samsung Galaxy S, Nexus S, Omnia 7/Omnia W. You'll get pretty much the same experience in terms of dottiness. If you don't see any problems with those screens consider yourself lucky. I know a lot of people who don't see anything wrong.

You would think so, yes, with all the talk about "the first Windows Phone", attention to detail etc. But no, this is a failure, it's been tested on the N9. It bends easily if something gets in the way when you close it, for example. It'll immediately bend or break if you drop your phone while the cover is open. It's very flimsy. It looks great when closed, that's why they put it there. Makes me very sad actually.

Of all WP7 makers only HTC provides an equalizer. Samsung doesn't. You'll lose power if the EQ is a software one, that's why it can really be done by the OEM only, it should interact directly with the DSP driver to not kill the battery.

It is possible as a software download (HTC provided its Sound Enhancer), but so far I haven't heard not only promises from Nokia, but even mentions of the problem in the reviews.

Hope so too. I'll get the 800 regardless, I've been carrying my Mozart for almost a year now, this is way too long. :) Just hope the improvements won't come exclusively with larger screens as is the trend among the OEMs currently - they only give you decent specs if you agree to buy shovel-sized monsters.
[Windows Phone 7 General] prowede:
Nokia drive is pre-installed?
[Windows Phone 7 General] go0gle:
Yes, like all the other Nokia smartphones running Symbian Anna/Belle and MeeGo
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
Drive and Music are preinstalled, Nokia Maps requires a download from the Marketplace.
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
Anyone else pick one up in the US? What did you pay?
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
Kind of of shocked nobody has? I know the price is insane but all of the major retailers now have stock of them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
Any chance you can pop in an AT&T micro SIM? I'm dying to use one but each online store has conflicting specs for it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] CrownSeven:
I'm dying to pick one up, but right now the patient side of me is winning out. Nokia has to have something brewing for the US market soon to be released, otherwise they would have released the 800 here by now.
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
The rumored Ace? The price is what's holding me back. I just don't think it's a $650 phone. $500/550? I can see that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jtphl:
does the nokia lumia 800 has sim tool kit, call barring and band selection application / settings menu?
[Windows Phone 7 General] CrownSeven:
Ace would do just fine :)

The wife complains on a daily basis about her droid x - says she can't wait to switch over to wp7. So we're both waiting to see what Nokia has up their sleeves (see what I did there, lol).

I wouldn't be surprised if Nokia are working on an LTE device for Verizon. At least I'm hoping they are. My Focus on ATT has served me well - ATT on the other hand, thats a completely different story.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
I really thought the Nokia phone was going to be popular... the thread just fizzled...
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
Price and the fact that it hasn't come to the US yet. It'll pick up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ineedtoys:
Might also be something to do with the fact that WP7 phones aren't really meant for geeks and tweakers, they just tend to work out of the box without having to resort to places like this to make them functional, and of course the scope for customisation is also limited. That's been my experience anyway - I just tend to get on and _use_ my WP7 phone, rather than spending countless hours fiddling to get it looking "just right" like I have to with WM and Android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] glowwormccc:
Congratulations! Lumia 800 has been sold in HongKong yesterday!
[Windows Phone 7 General] BigBlue007:
Well, while that's completely correct, it wouldn't explain the not-so-much popularity of WP7 to date, because exactly the same is true for a (non-jailbroken) iPhone.

Same here. I had an iPhone from day one it was available, and I sticked to iPhones until the iPhone 4. Then, due to the Antenna Gate thing and because Apple p*ssed me of more and more with their politics, I switched over to Android.

It was fun in the beginning to have so much more ways to customize the Androids, but after having countless of different Android phones, this was beginning to P*ss me of either. You know, it's a bit like being in a huge supermarket, your wife asked you to bring some butter, and there are something like 50 different brands of butter and you cannot decide which one to take. :) Of course it's normally good to have the choice between many things, but sometimes life would simply be easier if there would only be ONE butter and you don't need to think about which one to buy. :D

What many people hate about WP7 is exactly the same thing that made iOS as popular as it is. And it's why I have turned to WP7 now. As you said, it's simply about stopping to spend useless time on customizing that thing, and start to just use it the way it's supposed to be used. Of course one could say that I could also simply "use" an Android phone, but my problem is that as long as I -know- that I can customize it, I feel the need to do it. :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] Red Grenadine:
Does the Lumia 800 lie completely flat on it's back? like when you hit the screen does it rock one way or another? The camera on the focus sticks out so the phone always tilts when placed flat. Thanks

http://discussions.nokiausa.com/t5/...ne/Lumia-800-UMTS-850Mhz-support/td-p/1236631

Can we get any other USA users to chime in? 3G?
[Windows Phone 7 General] voluptuary:
Well I use it on at&t (they think its a dumbphone, $10 unlimited data for me!) and while my phone does seem to be more picky about where it picks up 3g, meaning I see a little 'E' more than I used to, I still get 3g. I also get a hspa+ so thats nice, but the best I've ever gotten speed wise is about 3 down and 1.25 up but that's probably more my area than anything else.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
Yeah, Paul Thurott made a post yesterday that basically made it sound like the Euro version wouldn't work at all here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
And that's what concerns me. I wish we had a larger sample size to work with.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nitin88g:
How's the audio quality in calls and music with new headset. I really liked N8 headset (ear buds). Can you please compare or give short review, is it worth listening in new head set and boss effects?
[Windows Phone 7 General] lekhwani:
Does it have equalizers?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Red Grenadine:
Anyone? Beuller?
[Windows Phone 7 General] FinancialWar:
I thought Microsoft delayed the release of Windows Phone in China.
[Windows Phone 7 General] voluptuary:
it lays flat for the most part the edges are rounded so if you press on one side or the other it will tip but like if you have it on a shaky surface it doesn't wobble around anymore than an iphone 3g/3gs
[Windows Phone 7 General] Red Grenadine:
Cool, thanks. So basically if you're tapping the middle of the screen you're fine, but if you really push on the edges it'll tilt
[Fascinate General] nFiniti:
Ok Please understand I cannot stress enough about how the phone was working flawless and NOTHING CHANGED on my service. BUT what actually happened was I went from a 2.2 rom, WAP, MMS, everything working flawless because I flashed it myself and had perfect APN Settings that I found online. Non of the other APN settings work. This specific setup worked just flawless. Incoming and outgoing MMS worked like it was a Native cricket phone. And I had the files backed up into my SD Card, so I can just run APN Manager and just restore the files every time I tried a new rom.

Well I went to the new style roms for 2.3. Mainly CM7... But it was flawed for Mobile Data and WiFi so I went back.... month later things were fixed and I went back to CM7 and it was working but had rom errors. So I was working out some things and decided to clean everything. Well I screwed up... I started a format on my SD Card.... I pulled the battery quick but not before the APN Settings were deleted.

I have not been able to get MMS working since then. I just reverted back to stock and everything is working except MMS. I even just backed up a new Cricket Android Phone's APN file and edited my info into it and still no MMS. IDK What else to do.

Anyone have any info?

I remember the names of the APN Files I was using that I copied from someone online (CDMA-MMS) is one of them or something similar to that. But I cannot find anything.
[Fascinate General] Sheradrax:
If you can point me in the direction of the sons you used I will test them. I also and flashed to cricket but I've never got my mms to work. Im running a 2.2 rom. I've heard that cm7 and miui have wap and mms issues.
[Fascinate General] nFiniti:
My mms always worked till I lost that apn. I been playing with it and can not find a solution. Idk what is going on.
[Fascinate General] nFiniti:
Ok I fixed it. Just sent MMS from phone to email with no issues and quite fast.

If you install APN Manager and give me your email address I'll send you my backup. It requires NO PROXY or any sort and hardly any info on the APN. But its a modified APN from a Cricket Android Phone. The actual APN I got off of that phone didn't work very well. But I just started modifying it and things started working soo much better.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicestan:
Having a bit of an issue, flashed 1 click I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0, after which my captivate stopped going into DL mode by pressing power up and down and putting the bettery in. I downloaded terminal emulator, got into DL mode, starting to flash cognition and the process failed, the phone rebooted and now I'm stuck in the cellphone---!----computer screen. What are my options? jig?, thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Yeah, jig. Sounds like you lost your button combo.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IlluminatedOne:
Open Odin as administrator on PC, plug the USB cable PC end into one of the USB ports.

Make sure that phone is off by pulling out the battery and putting it back. Press volume up and low button, while keep them pressed, insert the USB cable's phone end into phone's port.

If you get into DL mode, flash the stock firmware. If not, you will need a jig.

Since it is soft brick, I assume you should get into DL mode with above method.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuloplori:
can be treated as dl mode. See if odin picks it up, normally it should.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicestan:
The problem is neither the computer or odin is recognizing the phone, I don't understand why flashing stock firmware killed of my capability to reboot into software DL mode. I guess its of to Jig for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
I think he has the old phone-!-computer screen. He said he just flashed Stock JF6. Looking at the file name, looks like the one click from DesignGears, which is the old bootloaders. The one that can be used as dl mode was from the I897 GB Bootloaders.

---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

Some people experience a loss of their button combo's when flashing back to stock jf6. You should be ok, once you get a jig. Did you see if adb will recognize your phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IlluminatedOne:
Did you try the method I mentioned? Phone-!-PC screen should be treated as DL mode. If your PC is not recognizing it, you might want to try another USB cable/PC/USB port. Make sure drivers are properly installed.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuloplori:
My b, was worth shot though. Haven't been on old bootloaders for ages now, didn't know that old bl phone...!...pc screen isn't working as dl mode :) (thx 4 the update or rather review)

I would reinstall my cappy drivers, restart my pc and see if that helps odin/adb to pick up the phone. If not then jig is the answer.

Dang it, got beat to it :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicestan:
Thanks for the help guys, I made a jig and got it back up!, your help is much appreciated.

Steps to install :

A) place file "latinIME_2.APK" in your sd card

B) open root explorer

C) Go to sdcard n find the place where u kept latinIME_2.apk in your sdcard

D) copy it to system>apps

E) set the permissions to rw-r--r-- by ticking the all three in "read" column and tick the first in the "write" column.

F) and then press ok and then reboot.

Hope this works for you. The only difference I saw however is that I wasn't able to find the original back in the same folder.. lol. so back it up like fnztakedown suggested if you wanted to switch back later
