The Verge - The Lumia 800 was a great phone without an ecosystem. The Lumia 900 made that phone bigger, without significantly improving on the software or specifications. The Lumia 920 came with a massively improved camera, and the updated Windows Phone 8, but it was too bulky for many consumers.
Few weeks ago, several Nokia Lumia 925 and Nokia Lumia 1020 users started to report a bug in their handsets that would freeze their device while trying to wake it up from sleep mode. The issue started only after the said devices were updated to Windows Phone 8.1. Microsoft has now acknowledged this issue, and promises to provide a fix soon.
Vyralize: Scientists at the University of Southampton, in collaboration with Nokia, have wirelessly charged a Nokia 925 cellphone with the man-made equivalent of a lightning bolt.
We don't know the lasting impact this would have on a battery. Fast charging is one thing but I would like people to look into developing more efficient ways tech uses the power so batteries last longer. This is interesting to see if we can use lightning as a form of getting electricity but very like usage at a consumer level
I'm confused. They say it's wireless charging, yet the phone is clearly plugged in to a charging station. O.o
The phone isn't plugged into anything :S It's being held by a clamp. The electricity that passes near it is what is charging it.
So at 0:14, and also toward the end of the video, you can clearly see a cable attached to the phone. Are they uploading something to the phone at the same time as they're doing their experiment? What else would this cable be for?
Ok I see what you mean but I'm sure they won't blatantly lie about something like that. Maybe the cable was just used to monitor the state of the hardware while it was being juiced up.
Nice and 2 amazing phones. I have the Lumia 925 and the camera is amazing but might even look to give it to my other half this weekend and get the 1020 the camera on that thing is unlike any other.
Android Waypoint: The Nokia Lumia 925 is coming to an AT&T store near you on Sept. 13. With the release of AT&T's new Next plan, you now have two purchase options. $21 per month with AT&T Next or $99.99 with a two-year agreement.
I have had my 925 for a month now and love it. The battery is the best ived used on any smart phone and the camera is un matched by any other phone apart from the 1020.
That's awesome. Sounds like a huge recommend. You like the windows phone experience?
I do for me I find Windows Phone the best OS on the market for what I do. The its missing apps thing I have not found to be true as everything I use my phone for there is an app for it. It is missing some games but im not a gamer and it seems most of the games are on the platform now.
As for the existence I have yet to have a issue with the device. The OS is always very fast and slick. Live tiles are great for getting the information you need without going into apps.
I also have xbox music pass and I have to say subscription music is for me the best way to have music as I here a song on the radio hit the search button and the music button and can then download the song. (I know others offer this) but works well with xbox music to as I have a surface and 360 too to sync music with.
The thing im most impressed with though is voice. I ride a bike to work and have a Bluetooth headset and when I get a text message ect it always works well when replying even with loud background noise.
