so this has been getting a lot of attention


Nokia has released data files allowing anyone with a 3D printer to print their own case backs for the Lumia 820, thought it was pretty neat

BBC News - Nokia backs 3D printing for mobile phone cases






Everything you need to know about the Lumia 820 and 3D printing – Nokia Conversations : the official Nokia blog

I guess the better question is:

Where can I get a Lumia 920 without a contract? Some stores either won't sell it to me, or don't have it in stock, or are asking $700+

a rogers store? then unlock it thru one of the many websites (that can do it finally) still going to cost around $700 after taxes etc

update the firmware thru rogers before you do



that or you can go to MobileDNA in richmond think they want $750 for it though and they've got the White model

wtf.... -_- reply timeouts aplenty lately



so rumor is there will be a new Lumia unveiled at MWC that will have an aluminum body and have a sensor similar to the 808 pureview and perhaps OIS in one maybe

for a release later this year

maybe it'll look similar to this that was leaked early last year



except verge says it'll have square edges

the phone is supposedly codenamed "EOS" which is believed to be the same device as "Catwalk" (although i doubt that)

Nokia EOS: the first real PureView Windows Phone is coming this year | The Verge

Has anyone with a Lumia 920 (RM-821) successfully connected to Rogers LTE network?
Rogers supposedly has the 2600mhz LTE band, which my 920 has, but I cant get LTE. I can only use 4G speeds right now (its not slow, but more speed is always good :P). Is 2600mhz not launched in VanCity yet?

I think you have to have an LTE SIM, no? (Sorry, not sure how this works.)

Yes, I have the LTE microSIM.

In my access points list, it shows Rogers LTE active, but its still not showing the LTE icon on top left.

Yes, it is already on the highest setting, 4G.

Does your phone say LTE under "Highest connection speed"?

just get a unbranded one off ebay. don't even have to worry about all the stupid rogers crap that's on the phone and it comes unlocked already.. chances are it'll cost you a lot less.
