I am legit thinking that this could start the turn of the tide!
lol
The premier partner decides to show up a year and a half late to the dance.
waste of money.
To be fair it's also because Nokia is finally showing back up in NA, and trying to in a big way. I'm not sure if this will actually work, but it's got to be better than now the platform is normally treated in stored by employees.
Back from the MS Store. They accepted my old winmo phone and now I'm reserved for a free titan. Wait time was really long, but hey, it's a free phone.

I want a very simple "this place sucks" location based service. No login, no profiles, no place names, no comments. Whenever you're somewhere and you hate it, you just hit a button, and it uses the GPS data. Other people within a certain radius can see it on a map, maybe with a timestamp. The only bonus is a lot of statistics/graphics, like "worst place in the world", "shittiest hour of the week", etc.
That way you can vent easily when you maybe didn't have a choice but to go to the opera with your grandma or something like that, and also warn others, without all the registration hassle of other platforms like Foursquare or Qype.
haha this actually appeals to me ! xD although as part time bedroom programmer I'm making no promises
Put in a this place rocks button as well.

you're welcome
you can even pin it to the... err.. home thing.
my girl is totally in love with her new lumia. she had tears coming from her eyes when she unpacked it.
also now i am jealous because I got to set it up and featured I "made up" just appeared when I looked for them. this phone is the bees knees.
I have a HTC Touch Pro 2. Do you think they'd accept it? What store did you go to and what phone did you turn in?
If I were any other company than Nokia, I wouldn't even concider WP. The Titan 2 is completely overshadowed by the L900 while it's the better phone imo. WPcentral is nokia central and so is any other wp site..
Two days before the Windows Phone challenge at the Microsoft Stores was set to end, Microsoft has now extended the deal to April 8th, albeit with a change.
Because customer demand has been so high and because customers have pretty much been coming in just to LOSE and get a phone (they dont care about the challenge), the stores will no longer be doing the challenge and instead, if you bring in any old smartphone and recycle it at the store, they will give you from $50 to $300 in credit towards a new Windows Phone, free of cost, contract and activation. The reason theyre doing the credit instead of giving you the phone right away is because many (if not all?) stores are literally out of stock of phones at the moment, and they will be slowly fulfilling the phones as they get new stock.
This is the perfect opportunity to get the Radar, Lumia 710, and Focus Flash for free (those phones are under $300), or a nice $300 discount on all of the other phones at the store.
FYI: Microsoft Stores are also taking pre-orders for the Lumia 900

$300 off that Lumia 800 bundle would actually make it a decent deal.

Great Move by MS. It also IMO is a great sign that people really want to take advantage of these deal even beyond just getting one to sell.
Isn't that bundle online only since the 800 isn't really out in the US?
Also with the coupon deal above is that to buy these phones off contract or could you still use it to buy a phone on contract with a subsidized price? It's confusing to me.
So my wife's sister works for AT&T and just texted me today that they gave her a Lumia 900 as her work phone. Apparently they gave them to all store employees who wanted one and apparently everyone did. She used to be a huge windows phone hater even with me constantly harping on her to have an open mind and try it. She admitted that she always told people to buy something else (android) but now shes in love and it seems the phone is super super hot with the employees.
Very smart move on Microsoft/AT&T's part. Enthusiastic employees will almost guarantee much much better sales for WP.
On a side note. I called the Microsoft store today where I bought my Titan from. Since mine is still defective and HTC are being fucktards about fixing it (muffled voice issue), the guy in the store said he'd exchange it for another or a different phone which means... I'm getting a Lumia. I haven't been this excited in a while.

remb. pics or it didn't happen.
I think I'm going to pick up a black one next Sunday..
I am pretty sure the 800 is available in store but they only have black and pink. But at this point I would just use the 300 toward Lumia 900 off contract.
If the deal has been around for a while as people claim then they just essentially scrap the challenge and swap in existing promo ... either way that challenge was poorly thought out but I guess it serve the purpose of getting people attention and PR (good or bad) so may be it's does work for Microsoft.
I wonder how much they would give me for my old iPhone 3GS and iPhone 1 ...
