Seriously? It doesn't look much different than the sensation

has calmed down a bit.
Sometimes color makes all the difference. I think the 800/900 look pretty ordinary in black, but dat Cyan makes it the best looking phone yet.
The white One X is a good looking phone.

I feel like the polycarbonate on the One X is a little too cheap feeling as opposed to the 900, but that's just personal opinion. It's leagues better than anything I've felt from Samsung.
DITTO about VanMard's comment. The white One X is the only good looking design out of the two One X's.

You're absolute nuts if you think the white One X isn't hot shit.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
It's one single build piece on the back made of polycarb. This makes sort of a unibody phone with the screen just sort of floating there. The only downside is there is no removable battery or sd card slot.
I hate to say this as taboo as it is, but what The Verge video review to get a good look at how different the phone really is.
Is it really taboo? I guess it probably is lol.
This post on the forums made me laugh. I may or may have not posted it,
Power users will always have to charge phones everyday. Unless it's the Droid Razr Maxx, but that phone is fucking dumb anyways.
Is this your first smartphone?

Hey be happy it's once per day and not twice like many android phones at my work, they always tether to charge cable.

Yeah, that's pretty much every smartphone on the market...not that I approve of it.
With an extended battery, my Trophy will sometimes make it through two whole days. I tend to not use it that much, because it makes the phone unwieldy.
Whoever figures it out and patents it, BILLIONS. It's almost to a point where I'd consider trading 3 more hours of battery life for high end features. Wait, that's a dumb phone. Coincidentally, noticed this article today. Doubt it'll turn out into anything viable in the market for many years, but hey, breakthroughs are cool.

just don't wear jeans with it...
the same thing happened with the HTC hero, even the HTC leather case stained it, the hero you couldn't wipe it off not sure that's the case with the One

It must be a polycarbonate thing. My wife's 900 stained with one of the cases at&t was selling. Good thing we noticed it at the store and returned the case.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I'm thinking this as well. Makes me wonder if despite wanting a color if I should just be lame and get black for my next phone if it's going to be polycarb.
Quite impressed by this guy from PocketNow, probably one of the must unbiased and objective reviews I've seen on YouTube for a good while

really a great review, even though you said it was unbiased I am still surprised
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
Nokia, MS, and AT&T missed out on an opportunity to capitalize on the 900's momentum by not having the Magenta Lumia 900 out for tomorrow. My wife's co-workers are all talking about her phone, and one of them is due for a contract renewal. She would've jumped all over a pink 900.

Does anyone here still use the marketplace to find apps?
I never did, strictly blogs/word of mouth
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
I click on it when the live tile tells me there are updates, does that count? Looking at how Google totally reinvented their market makes me jealous. It went from being worse than ours, and now I love the layout and how fun it is to browse Google Play. It was my understanding that with Mango, MS could update the Marketplace app without needing to do a firmware upgrade, but they haven't updated any of their core apps the way Google does, which is a missed opportunity. I wish I had the Nokia market, that's a lot more fun to browse at least.
On another topic: Is there a Gooroovester-like app for Amazon music? I'm uploading my music to Google Play now, but since I buy my music from Amazon, I'd just rather load my stuff to their ecosystem.
Mad props Michael Fisher (reviewer). That's how to compare two ecosystems with a high degree of understanding.
Huh, how does something like that happen? Did he ever login to Facebook on your phone?
No idea. They are also showing up as notifications in the Facebook app.
Wow, that is a fantastic video. And the 900 camera is really, really, not good, lol. My s.o. cannot take a decent photo with that thing. She doesn't seem to be doing anything wrong either.
Agree. Unless the lighting is natural lighting I cannot get a decent picture to save my life. Example: I was trying to take pictures of my HTC Titan for Ebay with my 900. Horrid pictures so I had to resort to my old 5MP Sony camera (which my Titan was better than)
This guy makes great videos, very fair and balanced.
Nope, I'm a complete and utter newbie to any sort of programming. But after spending a few short hours with Visual Studio, it doesn't seem too bad. The thing is, I'm dabbling with some app thingy that's only for me and a few friends. There's no chance of ever getting it approved, but I'd like to see it on a real device...
You can definitely test apps on your actual phone.
you still need to pay the $99 fee which is nonsense. This is my #1 complaint against WP, the development should be open and accessible (like Windows) without being forced to go through Microsoft.
What does the 99 give you?

i think it was like xbox live but for devs.
I'm not familiar with Xbox live.
Yeah I've tried the web portal, but unfortunately it's not usable for me. The volume is defaulted low and I can't get it to adjust properly on a consistent basis. Not to mention the UI is crap on a small screen as well.
Too bad there aren't any apps. If I wasn't so lazy I'd try to make one. Ehhh ... maybe when I have some free time.
It gives you developer access to your phone (ie. you can side load apps on the phone) and the ability to publish your apps in the Marketplace.
Lifetime or yearly to publish?
Pretty sure it's yearly.
Also, I believe a developer account also allows you to run and publish games on the 360. As far as I know there isn't a separate Windows Phone-only account. For an Xbox dev account it seems like a pretty good deal (even if no one buys Indie games on the Xbox), but for just Win Phone I think it could be cheaper (although it is in line with what Apple charges I believe).
Oh that's not bad then, I thought it basically amounted to being able to side load.
That's where I think MS could do better in allowing us to side load onto to the phone without requiring a registered developers account (Chevron was doing that though).
