you'll never be able to buy a device without a voice plan
I bought my last 3 smartphones without subsidy

Buying subsidized phones is for little sissies.
I've got a phone without a voice plan. They basically gave me 1.5 free months of unlimited* data too, when I bought my unsubsidized phone from them. About $39/month. They charge me per minute/per SMS if I use that stuff, though.you won't be able to "use" a phone on a network without a voice plan

*Throttled after 5 gb/month.

What carrier?
I just got me a Lumia 800 two weeks ago. Switching "down" to feature phone after years of using smart phones feels a bit strange, but other than that it has been great. Are there any decent web sites that are listing the best or most interesting apps that are available? Seems like I'm just finding some really stupid ones...

how is the 800 a 'feature phone'?
hold down the back button.Closed OS and no real multi tasking.

I'd like to see real multitasking...
Yeah, but most of the programs don't run on the background, they get suspended. I have been using Symbian and Android before, and while Lumia 800 has been better than any Symbian/Android phone I have ever seen, I'd like to see real multitasking...
maybe you'll get your wish some day. What do you really want to do with multi-tasking that it doesn't do currently? (Just wondering)

It looks like it's actually $43/month (less if I use less than 230 mb/month).
$1 USD = $7.75 HKD
There are a number of multitasking use cases that Windows Phone 7.5 doesn't support but iOS does. Wish they would have just copied Apple honestly.
I wonder how many iPhone users even know about multitasking or even use it on a regular basis. If I didn't show my wife she probably wouldn't have found it.

You don't have to use the app switcher to "use" multitasking on ios.
That's probably a coincidence. If the app is still in memory, it will always load it instantly from there regardless of where you launch it from.True, but I have noticed that sometimes if I tap an app from the homepage that was open before it will reload. But if I use the multitasking menu it won't.
There should be a small tutorial when you activate an iOS device that teaches you some of the advanced features IMO. A bit of a failure on Apple's part there.

There was one pedometer app that didn't work on background. Also, when I play Angry Birds, I'd like to check my mails sometimes, and then return to game. Now when I do that, the game always reloads and goes to the main screen when I switch back, and it's quite slow.
The pedometer app seems like a valid gripe. The Angry Birds delay is the developer's lack of using resources correctly. Quick switching should be pretty snappy in Mango.

and the dead battery symbol I presume.
Yeah I'm wondering if Angry Birds just hasn't ever been updated to a Mango app with the multitasking built in.
Okay I have a problem with my Lumia 800. It keeps randomly rebooting. Had it replaced already, got 2 new sims, and still it reboots every now and then. It's usually when I'm on the move and unlock the phone to use it, but there's no strict patterns.
Anyone know of this issue? If it's not resolved today, I'm taking it back to Vodafone and swapping for something else. Probably an SII if it's getting ICS. I really don't want to, though. Thanks gaf.
Hmm, I do have the IMDB app installed, so this could well be it. Not sure why it needs to run in the background anyway :s I have uninstalled it, and there were no other background apps, so I'll try this for a while and see what happens. If it works, then you've saved me a lot of trouble Cheers bro. [edit] Or broette...I think the IMDB app did this for me, when it was running as backgrund service. You can try disabling some background apps and see if that helps...
You'd think they would put their own OS in the spotlight instead on the iPhone.. At least it's there, on the OneNote site they talked about the Android and iOS apps without even mentioning WP. smh
Finnish Windows Phone Lead posted the "Pure" video Nokia dropped a few days ago.
Smoke screen?? Perhaps. Maybe it means nothing, hopefully it is something on the Windows Phone front.
Cant wait til Monday!

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/22/us-nokia-smartphones-idUSTRE81L0LW20120222Cheaper phones are the key for Nokia and Microsoft in their battle to win a larger share of the market, analysts say.
In addition to the new Lumia 610 Nokia will also unveil at the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona a global version of its high-end Lumia 900 phone, which AT&T is scheduled to roll out in the United States, the sources said.
Nokia is set to unveil the phones at a news conference next Monday, on February 27.
There is no OneNote "app" for Windows Phone, it's already integrated.
Sure, it's what I thought of as well, but they could at least mention it.
The Pure thing is supposed to be Nokia N8 successor and was rumored as Nokia's last Symbian phone. Microsoft tweeting the video makes it a bit weird.
I hope it's not just MS fucking with us haha
