250Integra Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 The only problem with jailbreaking is it voids warranty..... yeah. Other then that it's superb. I love playing Pokemon Red on my iPhone :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapefruits Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Or something that people do in order to get better apps and not be ripped off by Apple's App store. Apple's OS is so locked down that people need to jailbreak it, in order to customize their OS. Also calling people nerds is so 1990's man. By that definition, everyone is a nerd here including you and me. Just having a smartphone and logging into CDC can be considered a nerdy thing to some.

Pouria Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Nokia Lumia 920 Release Date, Price, Specs: Verizon Carrier Leaked; Why Nokia Maps, Lumia 920 Will Crush Apple iPhone 5 12 CommentsinShare Books & Review | Jessica Durham Updated: Sep 22, 2012 12:25 PM EDT (Photo : Reuters) Lumia 920 Nokia has not announced the release date of their new Lumia 920 Windows 8 flagship phone. However, new details emerged about the new smartphone. According to Tapscape , the Verizon handsets list was leaked. Like Us on Facebook According to PhoneArena, they've gotten a list of handsets that Verizon will be including in its lineup and it appears that they're getting all of the top-tier Windows 8 phones: "Verizon will be giving Windows Phone another shot by launching three WP8 smartphones. The Samsung ATIV S, the Nokia Lumia 920, and the HTC Windows Phone 8X are all listed on the leaked roadmap, with November penciled as a potential release time frame." In terms of price, Tapscape reported that the Lumia 920 will sell for just a little above $500, based on pre-order prices. "WMPoweruser reveals that Chinese online sites have begun pre-orders for the Nokia Lumia 920 and their asking prices are unbelievably low: 'Now we have reports via WeLoveWP.hk that the Nokia Lumia 920 is going on pre-order at Toaboa, China's largest online shopping site, for only 3,999 HKD (USD $512, £320). WeLoveWP confirmed from their sources that is real.' There are also great Nokia Lumia 920 bundles on offer such as one that that will throw in an additional wireless charging pad and a bluetooth headset for a mere $700." Apple has some huge competition. With their newly release iPhone 5, even though it set pre-order records and got the whole world hyped, many showed they would rather buy the Lumia 920 vs iPhone 5. A Books & Review poll showed that, with 2,901 votes, users would buy the Lumia 920. TheSamsung Galaxy Note 2, Samsung's "phablet," got 253 votes. And the iPhone5 got 147 votes. Boo. The Examiner did a "multimedia showdown" between the iPhone 5, Galaxy S3, and the Lumia 920. "The winner: It's hard to call, but it looks like the winner may be the Lumia 920," the Examiner concluded. They got this answer because of the Lumia 920's 8.7MP camera, which is said to be the most capable camera yet on a smartphone. Also, the PureView sensor has not only has optical image stabilization, but the latest generation BSI sensor. It also has a Carl Zeiss lens. The camera on the Lumia 920 is said to be an easy digital camera replacement, reported the Examiner. Apple also ran into some problems with their new maps app. Many iPhone users are not happy and are complaining and frustrated over the new app. The new maps app is a part of Apple new iOS 6 operating system, and replaced Google Maps. Apple said it was made completely in-house with data from TomTom. It is supposed to have 3D maps and turn-by-turn navigation with spoken directions, and also real-time traffic information, and ability to "fly" over an area and more. Nokia maps is a huge competitor to Apple maps, as well as Google maps. Nokia recently took a few jabs at Apple and Google on their blog Sept. 21, according to CNET . "Unlike our competitors, which are financing their location assets with advertising or licensing mapping content from third parties, we completely own, build and distribute mapping content, platform and apps," the company wrote. "In other words, we truly understand that maps and location-based apps must be accurate, provide the best quality and be accessible basically anywhere. That's been standard practice at Nokia for the past six years, and we also understand that 'pretty' isn't enough." It looks like Nokia definitely has a huge edge up against Apple maps, and it was recently revealed that many would rather buy Nokia's new flagship phone the Lumia 920 instead of the iPhone 5. The new phone is said to launch at an event Oct. 21, with a release date in November. The new Apple maps could bring more customers to Nokia. The Lumia 920 runs on Microsoft Windows Phone 8. It takes many of the physical design elements from previous generations of Lumia handsets, but improves on internal hardware and display technology. Some of the new tech specs include PureMotion HD+ 4.5 inch display (1280 x 768 resolution), Dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 processor, NFC chip, 2,000mAh battery, and Qi wireless charging. Nokia is touting the Lumia 920′s premier feature as its new camera lens, the Carl Zeiss lens. It has rounded edges and colorful covers with a PureView camera.

Pouria Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Nokia: Here's why the Lumia 920 is better than the iPhone 5 The company has taken to Facebook to tout the 920's perceived pluses over Apple's new iPhone. by Lance Whitney September 21, 2012 9:46 AM PDT Nokia counts the many ways in which it says the Lumia 920 beats the iPhone 5(Credit: Screenshot by Lance Whitney/CNET) Is the Lumia 920 better than the iPhone 5 ? Certainly, Nokia wants to convince you it is. In a new Facebook post, the Finnish phone maker breaks down the key features found in both smartphones, naturally giving the nod to the 920 in each category. And in many areas, the company does manage to make its case. The Lumia 920's screen is larger and sharper than the one on the new iPhone. The 920's 4.5-inch screen displays 1,280x768 pixels at 332 pixels per inch. The iPhone 5's 4-inch screen offers 1,136x640 pixels at 326 ppi. The PureView camera on the Lumia 920 offers 8.7-megapixels with a Carl Zeiss lens, while the iPhone 5 uses an 8-megapixel camera. But unmentioned by Nokia are the improvements in noise reduction, low-light performance, and fast photo taking in the new iPhone's camera. Both cameras offer a Panoramic mode to let you shoot a single photo covering as much as 360 degrees. Nokia gives itself points for image stabilization, but that feature is also on the iPhone 5. The 920's front-facing camera does win the pixel race, offering 1.2 megapixels compared with the iPhone 5's 720 pixels. The Lumia 920 is also more touch-sensitive. A new touch technology allows people with long fingernails or gloves to manipulate the screen. Nokia's phone comes in a wider range of colors and offers more accessories than does the iPhone 5. The winner of the maps contest is a no-brainer, especially in light of Apple's Maps snafu. The City Lens augmented reality feature found on the Lumia Maps app lets you find local businesses simply by pointing your phone in the right direction, a feature not available on the new iPhone. Nokia is also clearly taking advantage of the backlash against Apple for its Maps mistakes.

The decision isn't "by any means a blow-away verdict" and is hardly the last word. The review of the iPhone 5 was hands-on, while CNET is waiting for a review unit of the 920 to fully test. On the surface, the Lumia 920 appears to have the edge over the iPhone 5. But since the 920 isn't out yet, it's difficult to fully compare the two side by side. Nokia will reportedly launch the 920 in early November at which time the two phones can truly go head to head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
