Mavs Donuts: Is Dallas A 'Soft' Sports Town?
DONUT 1: This is a football town. So it's queer to hear a what I would term a "baseball-like mentality'' being misapplied by apologists who see the sunny side of the Dallas Cowboys' come-from-ahead 27-24 loss Sunday night to the Jets.
"They played better than I thought they would.'' "It's early so there are going to be growing pains.'' "This was a 'schedule loss' and therefore excusable.''
Those are patient philosophies befitting the observation of a baseball team, which is allowed 162 regular-season chances at redemption and growth and excuses. (I don't mean that as a dig at the Rangers, who deserve a great deal of praise for what they've built.) But this is football. You only get 16 shots. To lose the season-opener at New York in an unprecedented fashion (never before has the Dallas franchise lost a game in which it held a 14-point fourth-quarter lead)?
That might be a philosophy applicable to next year's Mavs, too. How many times did you tell yourself, "If the Mavs could only win one title … just one! … I'd die a happy MFFL!''
Now, I bet you are ready to alter that philosophy now and move that bar. But you are free to adhere to your self-promise.
DONUT 2: In the NFL, though, one week is a season-changer. And that same bar that is being elevated for the Mavs is already dragging on the carpet for the 'Boys.
DONUT 3: Now, if the Cowboys continue along this path, maybe they will contribute to DFW becoming something other than a football town. There are this fall's Texas Rangers. There might be this year's Dallas Mavericks, and for many of us, that is sports enough. And I hear the Dallas Symphony Orchestra puts on a lovely show. (Don't giggle. If you want to see Dirk Nowitzki all dressed up, check out the DSO. He's a regular.)
DONUT 4: But if you consider yourself a contender – and in Week 1 of the NFL, every team should – you must consider yourself capable of beating a Jets team that is as all-Super-Bowl-talk/no-Super-Bowl-results as Dallas itself has now been for 16 years.
And the Cowboys are capable of beating the Jets. And most everyone else, too.
DONUT 5: It won't happen, though, if one of their supposed advantages continues to go numb above the neck every time simple execution is called for.
Quarterback Tony Romo didn't play better than you thought he would. For Romo, the days of growing pains should be a more distant memory than Jessica Simpson. And excuses? Happily, Tony didn't offer those.
"Really this game just came down to one or two plays," Romo said. "Those plays were plays that I gave them the ball … I cost us the game."
DONUT 6: One or two plays or three plays. Let's count 'em down:
* The final miscue was a zany bobbled shotgun snap with eight seconds remaining in the game and Dallas hoping for a miracle. I don't downgrade Romo for missing out on a miracle. So forget that one.
* The second-to-last dunderheaded action is the one getting the most attention, and wrongly so. With a minute to go in the game and the score tied, Romo underthrew Dez Bryant along the right sideline. But it wasn't a poor throw (or poor communication between QB and young receiver) as much as it was the Cowboys losing a mental chess match. The Jets showed man coverage, baiting Romo into throwing in the direction of the NFL's best corner, Darrelle Revis.
"Only the Lord knows what Romo was looking at,'' writes my friend Peter King of Sports Illustrated, but really, both teams' head coaches knew, too.
Dallas' Jason Garrett conceded that maybe "Tony was fooled by it a little bit.''
New York's Rex Ryan said, "We have this play called 'Jet Mike Mix' that we call. … We wanted them to think it was one-on-one, but we actually had help on top. Revis was able to undercut it and get the interception."
Why am I so accepting of an interception? Hey, they happen. Bad call, bad throw, bad route, bad protection, bad read, bad bounce … or … good defensive call, good defensive pressure, good defensive play … They happen. That's 100-Yard Chess.
However …
DONUT 7: Tony's effort in the truly inexcusable goof-up is does not involve the opponent, does not involve problem-solving, does not bow to "stuff-happens'' law.
*The Cowboys were up 24-10 after three quarters, in large part due to Romo's brilliance. He'd captained an offense that featured a new, young line, and it had survived the vaunted Jets attack. With nine minutes remaining in the game, Romo had the 'Boys at the New York 2-yard-line while protecting a 24-17 lead. A touchdown would've been lovely. But the mentality there simply must be to protect the ball well enough to get the certain field goal and the 10-point lead.
An interception in those situations is bothersome. But again, on an interception, so factors reach in like the arms of an octopus.
How about a fumble? How about one essentially unforced? How about one where a quarterback is attempting to run toward a wall of Jets defenders and has zero chance of making a play?
That's what Tony Romo did in the opener that makes all the excuses and all the acceptance so empty. It's not the shortage of miracles. It's not the occasional interception, which is going to happen when your offense is "Romo-friendly'' and geared to get from him 22-of-35 passing for 345 yards and two touchdowns.
It's the inconceivable fumble, the result of Romo playing "Old-West Gunslinger'' on a play when "Mild-Mannered School Marm'' would've been enough to win the game.
DONUT 8: In this space we've talked a great deal about BBIQ. Jason Kidd defines it. We've seen a lack of it overcome with the Mavs, too. Consider this way-under-publicized angle: How did the 2006 Mavs advance to the NBA Finals with Jason Terry at point guard and with Josh Howard also playing such a central role?
Maybe Avery Johnson deserves a tip of the cap for that.
DONUT 9: So … At what level is Tony Romo's "FBIQ''? I hear my old friend Jason Garrett say "maybe Tony will learn from this,'' but Romo is 31. He's been playing football for almost 25 years. It's not a matter of "learning,'' but rather one of "unlearning.'' I think it's become trite to say Romo's playing style intentionally emulates the Wisconsin hero he grew up idolizing. But "trite'' doesn't mean "untrue.'' And did teenage Tony not watch anybody but Brett Favre? Did the Racine TV channels not allow him to also see Aikman?
DONUT 10: Romo has the support of his locker room, as evidenced by teammate Keith Brooking's wacky assertion that "I'd take that guy over anybody in the league.'' He also has the backhanded support of Bill Parcells, who was on watch as the Cowboys coach when Romo came on the NFL scene. "His gift is his curse,'' Parcells commented on ESPN this week.
Parcells' thoughts are especially pertinent here because he spent years trying to coach Tony down from the idea that playing quarterback was supposed to be circus-like. Trying … and failing. One of Garrett's greatest tests now is attempting to do the same. If Jason – he of the high IQ in virtually every area – cannot play "wise professor'' to Romo's "prized pupil,'' then Garrett's run here will be ill-fated.
DONUT 11: I don't know if the Cowboys are "soft.'' But the analysis of this loss certainly is.
"They played better than I thought they would.'' "It's early so there are going to be growing pains.'' "This was a 'schedule loss' and therefore excusable.''
You only get 16 of these. I ain't that good at math. But I know that losing one is the equivalent of a five-game losing-streak in the NBA and a 10-game losing streak in baseball. It digs a hole.
DONUT 12:"It's disappointing to work very hard to make sure that you're put in those positions to win the game, and it's hard to swallow a game like that,'' Romo said. "I've got to be better. That's the bottom line."
I'm glad he sees that. I'm perplexed that more Cowboys observers, maybe marshmallowed by years of mediocrity, do not.
What are we turning into around here, a dang baseball town?

Rated 3.6 out of 5 by 625 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Betty This hotel was too cold. The lobby and the room (without the ability to change the temp) were both freezing. We woke with sore throats each night we stayed. The breakfast restaurant and buffet were not that great for the price. However, having in-room and lobby wifi were nice, but having to pay to print out boarding passes kind of stinks. June 8, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dorean older but served its purpose Good stay, a little older and smelled of cigerettes. June 3, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Piegee A Fine for rental car and airport access. June 3, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Virginia nice Staff -Adequate accommodations We stayed here one night before an early flight. It met our needs. It is shop worn and kind of a "no frills" hotel but was ok for 1 night. The bed was very comfortable and the restaurant within the hotel had a good dinner. The front desk staff was friendly. I like the free bottle of water, the fridge in the room and coffee and USA TODAY paper. We would stay there again for an early flight and convenient to be able to leave our car there for a week while we're away. June 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bonton great stay this hotel was close to the airport and all the staff were very friendly and helfpful. the room was clean and spacious would definately stay again next time in LA May 30, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by cloudfarm It is good if you want to be close to the airport The hotel overall is good. However, several aspects make me feeling very disappointed. 1. The floor staff cannot communicate with fluent English. We asked for an extern cover set but the floor staff does not understand what we were talking about. 2. The floor staff knocked the floor at 8am in the morning.... We did not ask for a morning call. 3. Most hotels at that area provide free parking and free brakfast. It is a little disappointed that neither is provided at this location. May 28, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by robinbirdnm Convenient, but service not so great Very convenient to LAX. We had an extremely early flight on a Monday morning, so we dropped off our rental car on Sunday night and headed to this hotel. We realized that we only had decaf coffee in the room at about 9:30 PM. I called the front desk twice and then went downstairs and still could not get a packet of real coffee. Maddening! May 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sandys great value hotel I have stayed at this hotel numerous times and will stay here again. The only reason my over view is not 5 starts is that it isn't a 5 star hotel, but for the price and value the hotel is awesome and very convenient. Parking is very expensive and that would be my only negative. The staff is awesome. May 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lynn Good location Perfect for airport convenience. Great happy hour too! May 25, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by usc13 This hotel is bright and airy Nice lobby and staff. I used the fitness center, nice equipment. Coffee bar in the morning is very good with coffee and pastry, even though I have to pay extra. May 25, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by kaibo loud and noisey room too noisey awful parking poor food this should not be a SPG hotel May 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jacksgrandpa Great place to spend the night prior to a early morning fligh! This the second time my wife and I stayed here before an early morning flight to Washington DC. The facilities are great, staff friendly, dinning room offers lots of options and 7 days free parking make this a great option for us. We live on central coast 3 hors away on a good day with little traffic which precludes an early morning flight because of time constraints. May 23, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Alice62 ok room had a smell the linens were not fresh pillows ,smelled stail the bathroom towels were so rough not happy at all May 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Piney Dorsey Class of 1968 45th Reunion Excellent value for the money. Staff were great. Buffet night of the event outstanding. Restaurant for breakfast good service, food decent, but cost of OJ high. Need to over beef or turkey sausagne May 20, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Birdie This hotel needs more attention I've enjoyed the hospitality of Four Points Sheraton at LAX several times in the past. However, this stay didn't live up to all my expectations. My room was not really ready for an occupant as the temperature in the room was 90 degrees. I was too tired from traveling to ask for a different room. I simply turned on the AC & hoped it would cool down fast. The temp in the room was never comfortable either too cold or too hot. I should have gotten another room. To add to my discomfort the coffee maker malfunctioned and only half the coffee made it into the cup the rest went all over the tray & top of the refrigerator. Disappointing & not like my other visits. The hotel is good but the staff needs to pay more attention to details. May 19, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jaydeep Worst Hotel Shuttle Service Hi Peter, I had a worst shuttle service experience with Four points at 9750 Airport Blvd. I landed in LAX airport at 9:45 PM PST on 05/16 and called your front desk and they said it is in every 15 min. Waited till 10:45 and no shuttle and then called your front desk they said it is on its way. At 11:15 PM Called them and asked them the status and your associates told me "Don't yell at us" we don't know but it will come. What a customer service!!!!! . After another 30 min took a cab and finally went to the hotel at 12:03 AM and told the fact and your associate told me "We apologies for any inconvenience" very easy to say and all issues are gone with this comment. As you manager you better look into your service. Regards, Jaydeep May 18, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by KB228 Great Hotel Near LAX This hotel has a great staff. They will go out of their way to accomodate your requests. The rooms are comfortable and there are two restaurants which serve decent food. The hotel has a shuttle to the airport every fifteen minutes. It's a great place to stay and the price is more than reasonable. May 17, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Cindy Staff is very accommodating The staff was excellent. The only areas of improvement are: the carpet in room 610 had a spot. There were no wash cloths in the bathroom and only one bar of soap. I recommend putting two bars of soap in the bathroom. May 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by screenwriter13 Exceptional Staff The hotel was modern, clean and very comfortable. The room and bathroom was clean and comfortable. The staff was exceptional. From the front desk to the maid service, the staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect, and it was. I needed a car service while in LA, I called the hotel before my trip to see if they could recommend someone. Jess took the dates and times I needed the service, found the best rates and took care of all the details. The car service he set up for me was also perfect. Dinning was very nice as well. I will stay here my next trip to LA and highly recommend. May 16, 2013

Rated 3 out of 5 by del13 staff was excellant The staff was wonderful, the room was not what I am used to from SPG. Paying for parking is annoying. I have stayed at other SPG hotels I am a huge fan and promote to anyone I talk to. Only the hotels in CA charge up to $20 a day for parking. That is a little disappointing the customers are stuck we have to pay it or leave and lose money/points for the room. May 6, 2013

Rated 4 out of 5 by Craig One night stay I am in LA for one night. The staf was good, while not super energetic or polite, they did their job. My only concern was the Lodge Net function in the room. It did not work at all. No movies no early check out, no explanation. Having said that the staff was polite and the hotel is super convenient. May 5, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Anne Not happy Everyone was friendly. The breakfast was good. The room needed major updating. Bed cover looked old, along with the furiture. Air conditioner was so loud couldn't watch TV. May 5, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Chickie50 The beer and BBQ was a great idea Thought it was great that at check in the clerk mentioned it, there was some confusion of what time the event was.... May 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by AntonChad Best Value at LAX Among the Starwood Properties the 4 Points is always slightly less expensive for a night stay. Yet it is an awesome hotel! Quiet rooms and incredible beds. A friendly bar/restaurant plus coffee in room and in the lobby. There are always plenty of newspapers available on the walk out to the airport shuttle. Everything you need for a short night at LAX. May 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by dave682 convenient to airport/area attractions lobby, bar, restaurant areas are very inviting places that eases one back to earth after a long flight. great layover location. April 30, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by metp Needs updating Location to the Airport & Rental car companies is great, The lady that checked us in was very nice and friendly, the food in Brewsters bar was very tasty, i did get my drink spilled over me by the server who was apologetic but never offered to replace the spilt one. The only issue i had with the hotel was the bathroom, when we checked in the lady told us it was a deluxe room, there was nothing deluxe about it , the room was clean but old and dated, the bath tub was stained and had been painted and the paint was chipping off, it put me off wanting to get in it. April 30, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by charlie24 Needs work The signs used to direct you to the rooms were very confusing. The bathroom needs work, paint on the ceiling above tub and show was peeling. Just not up to the standards we get at SPG' hotels. April 29, 2013

When you're away from loved ones, whether from nine to five or for days at a time, nothing can bring you close to them like seeing them in a photograph. Carry yours with you everywhere you go in a wallet photo album. Unlike the cheap plastic inserts that come with most wallets that warp and break apart, leaving your precious images tattered and stained, a wallet photo album is designed to protect your photographs no matter how many times you open and gaze upon them. As a brag book, a wallet photo album is just the thing. Don't worry about dirty fingerprints marring the shots. Show off the kids in style to everyone you meet-the flight attendant, the front desk staff, the car rental agent.
Tuck the recent pictures of Susie's piano recital into your wallet photo album and take them to the ladies luncheon to share with everyone. As a gift, the wallet photo album makes such a thoughtful gesture. Fill it full of photos from the party you attended or candids for the grandparents. They will love showing it off at the next Bridge game. We even have customers who count on wallet photo albums for business. Sales professionals fill one full of images of displays or products to better show merchandise and the possibilities for retailers. A picture is, after all, worth a thousand words.

The Bishop of Chelmsford has just announced that he has appointed me as a non-residentiary Canon of Chelmsford Cathedral, which begs the question: 'Is he planning to fire me?' Six non-residentiary Canons have been appointed and the details are published here. It is an honour and I believe it reflects the importance that Bishop John places on lay education and training for ministry in the Diocese. I used to attend Chelmsford Cathedral as a young boy while at Chelmsford Cathedral Primary School. In those days the Cathedral was a very dark, dusty, gloomy place and my memory is of miserable Thursday morning BCP Morning Prayer; it's a miracle I ever went near a church again. I was ordained in the Cathedral in 1987 and by then it had become a light, airy and attractive worship space, the old pews had gone and the only items from the old days that I remember are the rather tatty flags, now kept well out of the way. I was licensed to my present role in the Diocese in the Cathedral in 2001.
Unfortunately, I can't attend the collation and installation on August 16th so Bishop John will be licensing me in his chapel on 21st July and then the installation by the Dean will take place at Evening Prayer in the Cathedral on 24th August. My dad Sam is an honorary Canon of St. Edmundsbury Cathedral so we'll get to compare scarfs. 'What larks, eh Pip!'

DY4136/369187 Ophthalmic Glasses
These sunglasses are the perfect accessory on the beach, on the way to the office or in the city. There is only one slight drawback: all the envious looks you will attract. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of DY4136in our 2015, and 2016 DKNY range.
This frame was specially designed for genuine power women. Graceful design and expressiveness are interspersed with classical chic. The quadratic shape is a good choice, especially for softer facial features. The square glasses give more contour to a round face. The straight outer edges also give the impression that the face is longer. Plastic is a very lightweight and flexible material. This ensures a long life and a high level of comfort. You find black too boring and bright colours are not your thing? Then grey is a your perfect alternative! The colour is not only a trend and suits almost every skin type, it can also be combined with any outfit. The fact that the colour grey matches everything, also applies to sunglass lenses. They suit everything in your wardrobe and never go out of fashion. This brand of sunglasses, of course, also provides your eyes with optimum UV400 protection.
If you press the button "order with prescription lenses', our digital dispensing optician will install the lenses in the original tint or as you wish. Your dioptre values are the only thing we require from you.
The model is in stock. If you order now with the express shipping option, we can even guarantee the time of delivery. If you buy at Edel-Optics you get the best price, because "in the sale" is our standard.

Can you define these popular missing words?
The act of slapping one in the mouth with a penis after the mouth has been filled with ejaculate.
Randy's leg looks like somebody just gave it a milky slap.

It's hard not to be prejudiced against 'Austenland'
Jane Austen would spin in her nearly 200-year-old grave at the crude and broad movie made in her name.
Knowing it already has the attention of the hardcore fans of her books such as "Persuasion," "Pride and Prejudice," and "Sense and Sensibility," "Austenland" sets its sights on the mass audience — and fails both groups. »Read Full Article
Crisply executed dialogue elevates 'Understudy'
"All I see are movie stars movie stars movie stars," laments Harry, the journeyman actor in Theresa Rebeck's rollicking "The Understudy," now on stage in a fun Renaissance Theaterworks production that opened Saturday night. "It's like a disease," Harry continues. Or "maybe more like 'pathology.' Or 'ongoing cultural disaster,'" he concludes.
All true enough, if one is keeping track of the numerous Hollywood stars making fools of themselves on Broadway. But as Rebeck's title suggests, Harry is now understudying one of them: an action-movie stud named Jake, himself improbably understudying an even more famous Hollywood co-star. »Read Full Article

New rail trail construction planned in Vt.December 21,2013
ST. JOHNSBURY-The organization that oversees Vermont's snowmobile trails has initiated construction on a 15-mile stretch of the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail between St. Johnsbury and West Danville.
The Caledonian Record reports (http://bit.ly/1hqSru0) the Vermont Association of Snow Travelers' job included the installation of two recreation bridges. The first was placed over Mt. Vernon Street in St. Johnsbury and the second over a massive washout in Danville.
The actual trail construction is scheduled next summer and may take up to two years.
The snow travelers started construction this year on a second 15-mile stretch of rail trail between Morrisville and Cambridge Junction, too.
The entire rail trail will eventually stretch more than 90 miles from St. Johnsbury to Swanton.

Great Car for the price
by Jim from Connecticut | January 15, 2007
I have owned this car for over two years, it has over 175k and still runs as good as it did the day it was built. The cars amenities are not as good as the newer versions, but they do the job. This car is by far the smoothest highway driver I have ever owned.

2009 Toyota Corolla S 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
This is my second toyota corolla and i have alway loved toyota and could not see myself buying anything else. Well this car has changed that opinion and my next car will not be a toyota. This 2009 has had the whole A/C replaces, cam shaft gear, starter and the car still has problems starting. My corolla only had 56,000 miles. Total cost of repairs under warranty is over $9,000Â
. beware of the 2009 year.
JBL sound system and they way the car looks.
Toyota need to improve the build quality of the interior and also choose better suppliers for the parts of the car.
My first tow back to the dealer was at 26 km. Sadly things went downhill from there.When I complained about all the rattles and excessive number of engine repairs a Toyota official told me "you cannot compared the Corolla to the Dodge Neon -- they're not in the same class".Three years later I've come to realize they weren't joking.As an example of the corner-cutting in this car notice that Toyota chose tape rather than clamps to hold the windscreen washer hoses under the bonnet.Now just out of warranty, and at just 19,000 km, I've been told the piston rings need to be replaced.
If you remove the hard plastic centre console lid you won't hit your funny bone when changing into 2/4/reverse.
An over-drive gear would be nice.
A proper clock.
A trip-computer button located anywhere else.
A quality interior.
I am very pleased with my 09 Corolla S as of today it has 43k miles on it. It delivers on everything Toyota claims. Incredible fuel economy I commonly get over 40 MPG with mixed driving. On a trip from Sacramento CA to Los Angeles CA I averaged 45.3 MPG with the cruise set to 70 MPH and yes after driving over 370 miles I had over a half tank showing on the display. Styling is very impressive for a compact car. It gives you the feel of a much larger car while driving. Corners like a sports car with very little body roll or tire squeaks. I am the owner of a used car dealership so I drive dozens of cars on a daily basis I would recommend this car to anybody hands down!
fuel economy, styling, interior features, and comfort.
This was a tough one! I guess I'd use thicker floor mats I've placed a hole on the bottom of the driver's side mat from where my heal makes contact.
Just traded my 2009 corolla S in today for a Honda CR-V. The corolla had a clutch issue. Constantly stalling in traffic. I mentioned it to the dealer, they just insinuated that I needed more "practice with clutch". Well, 35 years is a lot. My other car has a clutch, no problem there and anyone who drove this corolla had issues also. Paid 19k. It was only worth 9k a little over a year later. Cramped, zero headroom, cheap paint job, plastic parts that snap in the cold. It did have good gas mileage tho, and I could have dealt with all of the cosmetic stuff, but the stalling out in traffic thing is just plain dangerous. Didn't want to wait for a recall and maybe become a statistic. Shame on you Toyota!
Great gas, mileage, great headlights for night driving
Use better quality materials. This corolla was made of cheap plastic parts, had cheesy paint, awful awful car. Rotten sound system, I am sorry that I bought it. Very sorry.
We love this car. I drive it to work 120 miles round trip. We drove the car from MN to Maine last summer. Car has always run great. It is not a sports car, but it is good reliable transportation.
40-50 MPG if I am careful. Good radio. Built in bluetooth for cell phone is nice.
Cover over spare tire in trunk is cardboard. Should use something better.

Nokia Lumia 920 vs Samsung Galaxy S III
0. phoneArena 03 Dec 2012, 07:21 posted on
Windows Phone 8 ushered Microsoft's mobile OS in the era of dual-core phones and HD screens that Android and iOS have been inhabiting for a while, and Nokia Lumia 920 is the handset best suited to take on those other flagships. Naturally, we are going to compare it with Android's most popular high-end, the Samsung Galaxy S III, which offers a quad- or dual-core processor, depending on the region, and a high-res AMOLED display, flaunting camera of the same resolution as the Lumia 920...
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here
64. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Whatever.. I'll just give my thoughts on Symbian.
It is the OS that had by far the most potential and was a true open source.
Had Nokia continued to develop and stick onto it fully, it is my belief that now it would be the best OS of the bunch.
Now we would have a quad core, hd, 21mpix, app wealthy, true Nokia flagship that would give any Android a run for its money.
And Android wouldn't be nearly as market dominant as now, and Nokia would probably still be fighting for the top of the smartphone hill.
That's why I will always despise their decision to sell them selves to Microsoft (Microsoft paid billions to Nokia to go fully WP btw)and kill off their best, long built effort.
109. Jillsandwich (Posts: 62; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
What is it with Android fanboys? I remember a time when iOS fanboys wouldn't shut their mouths about how good the iPhone was. Now fandroids are popping up LEFT AND RIGHT to advocate for their OS. It's not even about talking about how good it is, either. It's about forcing their opinion down other people's throats like they're right and.. everyone else is wrong. You would THINK that an OS that promotes freedom and the option to choose would give them the insight of allowing people to do the same with their devices.
Evidently, it's not so with people like you. You get butthurt whenever an Android device isn't the outright winner. Someone could say "If you want that, go Android. If you want that, go WP/IOS." But you? No. It's "ANDROID AND NOTHING ELSE."
Get over yourself, moron.
116. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
yeah mate, see this is what reasonable people say. sadly your going to be seen as the enemy on here as the fanboys have taken over. the levels of arrogance and superiority complex they have has gone overboard.
ive tried been as reasonble as i can but theres no getting through to them, if your comment is 100% praising android you will get painted red and they will gang up and slate everything non android even if no one else brought it up i.e.the iphone they love to bring that up every chance they get.
seriously your one of few reasonable people on here but they will label you hater or troll. ive been labeled so far:
google hater
android lover
android hater
apple hater
nokia fanboy
literally they have to label you to feel better. P.A iis been ruined for others not by the imaginery bias the android fanboys think exists by the reviewers but the bias from the android fanboys themsleves
120. Jillsandwich (Posts: 62; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
Yeah, it's pathetic. Funny how Android users have basically become the very thing they hate most about Apple. Sheep. And yeah, they're ALWAYS mentioning iPhone. It's like they have a permanent chip on their shoulders towards Apple or something! An inferiority complex? Weird, considering they think their phone is so much better!
And just to clarify (but I'm sure I'll be down thumbed but whatever), I was a long time Android user. It's a solid OS. Nothing wrong with it. But I went w WP because I felt it did everything I wanted it to with less fuss than Android. Ergo, I went Microsoft. Doesn't mean Android is any less great. Just means I like something else. And that's fine. WHY THE HELL do fandroids not understand that choice is a good thing when Android promotes it in the first place? So hypocritical!
Android ain't perfect. Neither is iOS or WP. Stop treating it like any of them are. And stop going into a different OS expecting the experience you'd get on another.

well lumia has both types of multitasking...
depending upon app the dev. may choose weather his app must be paused or run in background
its mixture of ios and android

No it doesn't. This is just wrong.

You do know the rest of the crowd has long moved on past the lag comments. Why don't you try and catch up, lag is dead on the new high end Android handsets.
119. Jillsandwich (Posts: 62; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
You failed when you said "high end" Android handsets. You know this, right? How many cores is Android at now? And RAM?
Yeah.. no.
43. akishakoi (Posts: 65; Member since: 06 Dec 2011)
Finally, an honest and fair comparison. Keep it up PA!
Thinking back on how that woman from CNET gives her fist impressions on the Lumia 920 compared to this PA review makes her look dumber and senseless than the first time I watched her vid.
45. kach22 (Posts: 153; Member since: 04 Nov 2011)
I find this review to be really impressive even though I am no fan of WP8.
WP8 is surely impressive and so is the Android Jelly Bean. I am not trolling but I really feel that iOS 6 haven't offered anything extraordinary compared to these. Now eagerly waiting to see what BlackBerry offers with BB10.
46. mydi.maus (unregistered)
same good phones
47. lzsbleach (Posts: 155; Member since: 20 May 2012)
Android is the more advance OS but depending on what you need and like Windows OS can have an advantage over Android. The king (GS3) has finnaly been overthrown, no smart phone has clearly taking out the GS3 other than the 920. That is impressive that the GS3 has held the number 1 spot for so long. The 920 had more time to develop over the GS3 and the water down GS3 was up against the 920 which gave the 920 an edge. Samsung has some work to do on the GS4; they need to improve what they lack.

Good comparision.......Both phones are excellent .......well done PA :)
51. SK_007 (Posts: 17; Member since: 02 Jun 2011)
@Phonearena team can you please give a comparison between One X+ and Lumia 920 coz i am torn between these two smartphones and the date when i pick one of these is very near and i don't want to regret my decision after choosing one of them.
On a side not why you guys have compared One X+ to Iphone 5 only(why not a comparison against Galaxy S3,Optimus G,Nexus 4 and Lumia 920 after all it is the current flagship of HTC).
53. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
well what do you use your phone for mainly?
are you a heavy user? also whats phones you had previously
55. SK_007 (Posts: 17; Member since: 02 Jun 2011)
Well not a heavy user but not a light user either you can say i am a moderate user,i currently have Sensation XE(before Sensation XE i had Galaxy S2,Xperia Arc).
57. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
ok so your familiar with android then, well the one x+ is a great all round phone but you wont be getting much new , not saying its a let down. the 920 would be a completely new experience for you if your looking for one again though if you enjoy lots of apps then right now you might be best with the one x+
if you want a great camera and ease of use the 920 is the one to go for.
60. SK_007 (Posts: 17; Member since: 02 Jun 2011)
Yeah you are right and that's the problem i am familiar with Android infact i am addict to Android but at the same time i am a camera freak as well that's why i this decision for me is really tough and i cannot decide which one should i choose anyway thanks for your help!!!
93. macsbac (Posts: 6; Member since: 04 Dec 2012)
Get the nexus 4. Its better than both these devices for a fraction of the cost. The camera on lumia is overrated & I explain y in a post below. The lumia 920 is bulky & ugly that didn't bother me. What I hated was the corners.
101. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
go always one who has to spread hate in an resonable conversation
the nexus 4 or the one x+...hmm the one x+ takes it. the nexus 4 is only good if your on a budget.
the fact your classing the 920 camera as overrated just shows how sore you are the nexus 4's camera is average and nothing to shout about. and the fact you hate the corners........that all you can come up with. well the nexus 4 is fragile thats much worse then corners lol
please hate elsewhere and stop ruining the resonable comments on here
118. macsbac (Posts: 6; Member since: 04 Dec 2012)
Bit hypocritical don't to think to accuse someone of spreading then then indulge in it yourself.
The thickness of 920 with 90 degree corners is just uncomfortable to hold especially I the palm of the hand. Its fair to describe this device as a tombstone & frankly I am surprised Nokia think they can get away with such an ergonomic disaster.
I have had a 4 year old playing with a nexus 4 for 2 weeks now and its been dropped and put through a ringer. Not very fragile at all, even then if I wanted a bumper it would still b more ergonomic than a lumia 920.
The lumia 920 camera has a lower aperture and is missing fantastic features such as continuous focus, HDR and even a basic burst mode. HDR allows better images in difficult contrast conditions where the lumia would need to use a flash.eg indoors but bright rooms with windows. The only type of conditions I could find that the lumia was better was dark scenes without motion. That's not the majority of mine or others photos.
A better processor, a better gpu and more, faster dual channel memory than the HTC X+ & the lumia 920. The hardware & software is just better on the nexus 4.
I have a lumia 920 & a nexus 4 & have as much right as you to comment. If you want a private forum or the ability to determine who can post then start your own instead of flaming an opinion u don't like.
132. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
''I have had a 4 year old playing with a nexus 4 for 2 weeks now and its been dropped and put through a ringer. Not very fragile at all, even then if I wanted a bumper it would still b more ergonomic than a lumia 920.''
this shows your biased and spewing bs. the nexus 4 is a fragile device, glass mate isnt made to be sturdy so please dont try it. the lumia 920 is a solid device you like all the fanboys with a stick up there ass keep banging on about weight and size as you cant find anything else. your attempt to justify this falls flat.
also the nexus 4's camera is average, nothing to shout about. there are apps to add extra's to the camera so thats sorted.
ive had it with you fanboys holding the nexus 4 up as the end of phones, its an average device at a good price not fully optimnised and prone to purple flare.
i told the guy if he's used to android the one x+ is best for him then you have to slag of the 920 shamelessy and hold the n4 up as great. you ruined a reasonable comment
thansk for been irreleveant kid
140. macsbac (Posts: 6; Member since: 04 Dec 2012)
Yet again flaming. My nexus 4 has survived the 4 year test & at least 2 drops onto a hard surface. Just because it has a glass does not make it fragile. Just as the iPhone 4 & 4S r glass front & back. On fact the lumia 920 front is made from the same glass as the nexus 4 (gorilla glass 2) making it just as fragile.
Thankfully my original all opinion on the lumia camera has been shown to b true by the camera reviews on this site. OIS sounds good in theory but has too many compromises, mainly lower aperture meaning less light or slower shutter speeds meaning blur or over saturation. The only area this produces good results is low light & still shots. U claim the nexus 4 camera is average yet in daylight & indoor conditions it out to performs the lumia 920. So that by that logic the lumia camera.is below average.
Then there is the HTC one x+ u keep talking about. The tegra 3 processor is easily bested by the quad s4 with 320 GPU. However with the memory intensive HTC sense it can only keep 1 or 2 apps running in the background b4 suspending or stopping them. Especially when using games or other memory intensive apps such as chrome. 2gb of fast dual channel memory in the nexus 4 results in dozens of apps running before suspension. The software & hardware is just better on the n4. You want HTC, don't listen to this clown get the droid DNA

Lumia all the way, baby! One must be pretty crazy to buy the Samsung thing. The man who made the comparison missed the biggest advantage of Nokia along with all the hardware stuff - it is the WP8. He should have said that WP uses twice less cpu and stll is faster than Android and many times more stable. If you are under 20 maybe you would like to change roms every day and restart respectively. I can't imagine a man with proper job to use an Android device unless he's a masochist.
67. cew18 (Posts: 1; Member since: 03 Dec 2012)
It amazes me that all these so called experts do phone reviews or comment on reviews and the main thing they can complain about is the size of the phone. I bet that nearly all people who buy a iphone or galaxy will buy a case to put it in. Generally this said case will add weight and bulk to the phone and probably make it heavier and bulkier than the Lumia 920, which by the is designed not to need a case to protect it.
Doesn't really seem like rocket science to me but it seems to be the main and only reason why people wont choose the Lumia 920 generally.
70. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
No, just no. The S3 with a plastic case is still much lighter, it's still slimmer and it's also more durable.
I just read the Gizmodo review, thinking that they must've praised it to heavens given that poll results.
Here's the review.
72. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
more durable, come on now, your just letting your fanboyism blind you on that one. even with a case the 920 will be more durable its nokia's specalty
you just keep banging on about its too heavy, isnt the note 2 pretty heavy aswell.....strage that doesnt come up much
71. gazmatic (Posts: 795; Member since: 06 Sep 2012)
I have the n900. It weighs 181grams. If that is heavy then I'm sorry. You shouldn't call yourself a man. Beetles lift more than that. This means than you're weaker than a bug!
73. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Ridiculous analogy.
There's a difference between heavy and cumbersome.
Once you try a sleek and light phone and get used to it, something significantly heavier and bulkier gets cumbersome.
It just feels old school.
Galaxy Note is huge and that is why it doesn't feel heavy, relative to size.
I've held it and it feels really well balanced and light actually.
Can you hold a 2kg laptop? Would you have problems with that?
Well and what if an ultrabook would be 2kg?
Yeah, it suddenly wouldn't fit in.
Being too heavy and cumbersome.
74. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
You are biased and acting like weight doesn't matter, only because it's about your beloved gadget.
This phone is too heavy.. just like a netbook that weighs as much as a laptop would be too heavy.
75. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
lmao you saying others are biased is laughable
your the most biased kid on here, what he said was right if you find a 920 too heavy you need help, and the note 2 doesnt distribute the weight better infact its worse, the note 2 is big so the hand has to stretch and the weight adds pressure to your already straining hand
sure you will look the other way though on this
106. gazmatic (Posts: 795; Member since: 06 Sep 2012)
i own an m17x and a m18x and i'm in the process of ordering another come summer 2013...
people always ask how I manage with the weight of my laptops but after a while you really do not notice. dont get me wrong... alienware are heavy.
my n900 on the other hand is not. it is hefty but there is no problem... i'll get my lumia friday the 7th but just adding about two quarters unto my n900 i know it wont be a problem...
if your note has a case then it is already heavier than the lumia.
my gs3 is naked but then again it is being babied. as opposed to my n900 that is scratched, dented and dinged to all hell...

said this every article ...the puremotion is an edge in refresh rate against other LCDs ...but the AMOLEDs already has a refresh rate @ 60
so they are equal ... the other thing is that SAMOLEDs has integrated touch layer be4 the new Iphone and LG screens ...they are just the first to come with LCD screen ...but been there all along with SAMOLEDs
83. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Just shows how reviewers lack the knowledge and fall for the propaganda tricks instead!
I just checked and actually the Xperia arc was the first LCD phone with integrated touch layer.
I had that phone and it really had the "printed on screen surface" look, unlike HTC sensation or LG optimus

Its not about the refresh rate, its about the response time. You can have a 60hz refresh rate and still have motion blur because your response time isn't up to par. Nokia has all but eliminated that problem by increasing the response time to at least double that of the other phones.

Come on man are you serious? How can this guy just say the GS3 "feels more familiar". Would it kill you to say that the GS3 simply has a more pleasant OS with many great features that the windows phone is simply lacking? I understand Microsoft was shooting for something different and all, but lets be honest here, the OS just feels bland and lacks a certain panache that the GS3 and iPhone both have. Don't get me wrong I give them props for trying something different, but it's just not up to par with the other big contenders.

I agree.
Hardware wise Nokia is really strong, but software loses.
It's that simple
110. Jillsandwich (Posts: 62; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
Except it doesn't. you need how many cores to have a fast OS again? You waited how many years until project butter came around so you can FINALLY say you have a smooth OS? How many times has Samsung shafted its users from OS updates? (Barring rooting and flashing your roms, but that's a loser argument).
Dude, Android isn't the be-all-end-all of OSes. It's a good OS, but it isn't for everyone.
89. Bilpocalypse (Posts: 301; Member since: 13 Oct 2012)
That may be your opinion. But there are many of us out there that think Android is bland. While there may be a myriad of extra features to the GS3, that doesn't necessarily make it more pleasant.
Panache is a French word origin that carries the connotation of a flamboyant manner and reckless courage (ripped straight from Wikipedia). Sounds to me like this word better describes WP8 than any Android device. Does it lack some features that the GS3 has? Yes. But none that I need.
90. Bilpocalypse (Posts: 301; Member since: 13 Oct 2012)
This doesn't mean I don't like the GS3, just that your comment lacks merit. Its opinion, not fact. WP8 is definitely up to par.
97. Ivan6479 (Posts: 249; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
You clearly didn't watch the video. Lol Also its very fair to say that the clunky fat Nokia has no panache what so ever. I hardly think that giving a device some decent specs and a colorful shell warrant the same type of status that the GS3 or the iPhone both have. I also find it quite amusing that you had to actually look the word up and on Wikipedia non the less. LOL
98. Ivan6479 (Posts: 249; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
By the way I'm glad to see you learned something today with your little history lesson on where the word "Panache" originated, but in the 21st century, which is the current time we live in, just in case you didn't know (thought I'd fill you in so you don't have to go to Wikepedia again) the word can also refer to style or flair or something, which the Nokia phone is just lacking compared to the GS3 or the iPhone, which are the biggest contenders on the market right now.
128. Bilpocalypse (Posts: 301; Member since: 13 Oct 2012)
lol. You are so close minded. I didn't look up panache to find out the definition, I simply used the definition to prove my point. I sell these phones on a daily basis. In my experience, to the uninitiated and unbiased customer, the Lumia turns alot more heads than the GS3 or the iPhone. I've lost count of how many people have come in wanting an GS3 (or iPhone) and ended up getting a Lumia 920.
As I said before, your comment lacks merit.
92. macsbac (Posts: 6; Member since: 04 Dec 2012)
Seriously the camera in the lumia is overrated. The gs3 beats it by some margin in daylight. OSI means u have a lower aperture as the sensor needs to b able to move within the lens. While OSI reduces blur from the camera moving it makes blur from moving objects in the scene worse. The osituation the lumia camera is better is in low light on scenes with no or little movement or strong light sources. I would also suspect the thickness of the device is due to the OSI apparatus. This camera is inferior not only to the gs3 but also the iPhone 5.

I see a lot of complaints about the lack of an ability to add a wallpaper. I must ask, how necessary is this? I mean with your widgets or my equally useful live tiles, what is going on with the staring at the background? My phone is a social device first, a media device second, and a browsing device third. It completely trumps the GS3 in all of these senses. I love casual gaming on my phone too and I can get XBL points for doing it. The browser is better unless you're visiting decade old porn sites that still use flash, the media player is smoother and more intuitive, and not even the latest version of Sense comes close to WP8's built in social aspects let alone stock or samsung's mod. Hardware wise, Lumia just embarrasses the competition though, nothing more needs to be said about that much.
99. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
"Social device first"
Fine. If Facebook is your thing..
"Media device second "
Here, there is absolutely no comparison.
The S3 has a third party music and video player (of which many are amazing )support which is a huge advantage.
Its default player has virtually all codecs supported, and is packed with options Nokia never heard of.
Finally, it has significantly larger screen and better audio output
"Browsing device third "
This is even a bigger landslide win for the galaxy.
You have plenty of amazing third party browsers to pick from!
Nokia doesn't support flash, heck it doesn't even support text reflow!(seriously, please tell me how do you use browser without text reflow??)
And again, a bigger screen does make additional difference.
You get ridiculously larger amount of games on android, even more ridiculously larger free games choice.
You get emulators, you get option to use the Galaxy s3 as a true or handheld gaming console!
Nokia doesn't trump S3 at all.
..now correct the mistakes (S3 has USB mass storage and continuous auto focus, as well as a direct OTA updates ) and take away the false points for Nokia.. math speaks for itself.
So there.. you really are totally biased.
Live wallpapers are simply a joy to look at.
When you try something like Ocean HD and find your self just soothed and enchanted and relaxed just by looking at your home screen, you will start to treasure the options android gives you.
Besides, it WOULD make a world of difference even on WP!
If you doubt, I'll send you screenshots of what I did with windows phone launcher on my S3.
Please, I bet you will never look at WP the same way again.
To think Microsoft deliberately left out such a basic and simple option is a major insult to the user if you ask me.
111. Ivan6479 (Posts: 249; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
I think the "Poecifer" must be a teeny bopper since social networking is his number 1 priority in a phone. If that's the case he may want to look into getting the Facebook phone. LOL
Also seeing how media is his second priority in a phone he may want to know that the GS3 also offers the ability to play movies through an MHL adapter to be able to fully enjoy a movie and videos in full 1080p HD, where as his precious WP doesn't. I'm not sure the kid did his research as he claims before buying his new phone, but who know's maybe he is still within the grace period where he can trade it in for a real phone (like a GS3). :)

And now back to your regularly scheduled program. Since I actually HAVE a white 920 and can tell you what it's really like, I'll monitor this thread and answer accordingly. I'll talk more about this later, but I LIKE that it is heavier as it makes me feel as though I'm holding a quality piece of equipment. No offense to other phones, but featherweight phones feel cheap to me. But that is only my humble opinion.
I understand one's commitment to their ecosystem and their phone; it is a reflection of their decision process and confirms they made the right choice - that is all. And it is perfectly fine. If it works for the individual, then they are correct in their own mind and that is perfectly fine as well. Arguing which is better is not really necessary because neither side will convince the other, and besides it only deteriorates into a side issue that the general public will skip over anyway. I should know because this is my first post and I'm usually on the other side of the fence. I skip the flaming as it never helps me further understand the real attributes of the piece of equipment.
Hence, you may ask me any question you like about the phone, but don't be surprised if I ignore some of the more negative comments.
100. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Good post.
How much do you use the phone for internet?
I'm curious about the lack of text wrapping in the browser.. isn't reading complex pages and long articles a pain?
96. Edd71 (Posts: 2; Member since: 04 Dec 2012)
I don't care what anyone says... the lumia920 feels like no other phone in ur hands. the way it nicely fits one handed... and the way it PERFECTLY fits two handed
the weight of the phone actually makes it feel more elegant, and more luxurious than the competition. all these complaints about the phone being so fat... why the negative light on it being heavier. I actually think the weight is what makes using the phone feel so nice... if u use this phone as a daily driver, then u will know what im talking about... the way the phone sits absolutely perfectly balanced in ur hands...
use one and you will understand.
102. ruukhaviser (Posts: 14; Member since: 04 Dec 2012)
Thanks, Darac. Web browsing at around 95%. I've never had a phone that had text wrapping, so it's nothing I've ever thought about. The screen resolution is so high it fully - and legibly - renders the site from edge to edge, including ads. I merely double tap on the text and it zooms right down to the paragraph's width. I *could* just read it as is, but obviously easier to zoom.
In addition, I typically use news aggregators (Weave, News360, USAToday, CNN etc) which automatically strip down the first couple paragraphs of the article. I can go directly to the site by clicking the provided link.
To be honest with you I would find text wrapping a little disconcerting as I...well...want to just see the web page and make a decision as to what part I want to zoom. I like driving stick shift cars because *I* want to tell the car's engine when to shift rather than the engine telling *me* when it's going to shift gears. I like maintaining control so I have no complaints about text wrapping. The site is rendered text-first too, so I can start reading the moment it pops up. The rest of it comes in later so it really flies when you surf. The hardware is so fast I push the back button and nearly instantaneously flash back to the aggregator.
EXCEPT: typing comments like this one can be frustrating if I had compromised eyesight. The screen resolution and screen size make up for this.
Edd71 is *exactly* right. I had a 900 and loved it, but there were indeed issues even when compared to my wife's Samsung Focus. But the 920 blows the 900 out of the water in all aspects and should really be called a 1000. The high demand and subsequent supply issues are justified. I don't think anyone thought it would have THIS much of an impact and Nokia blew the manufacturing orders. But better to be lower than make too many, I suppose.
You really need to drive it yourself, and if possible for a couple hours. Weight isn't something I even think about and it feels like a solid quality product rather than a pair of eye glasses. I'd recommend it to anyone.
107. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Oh this post is so significant.
It actually illustrates exactly why I am frustrated with wp supporters. Most of them never tried android ..at least not at its best, fully and properly.
Instead of making an educated choice they base theirs on ignorance, prejudice and bias.
You know, your reply is exactly how I would look at things, if having an L900 that worked out for me, and then upgrading to L920..and never bothering to check what else is there on offer.
If something works fine for me, does that mean I don't deserve something better?
Trust me, I'm surfing on phones for 7 years now, and there were times I was fine with opera mini 5, on a 2.2inch screen.
The point is, you think you don't need a text wrap on your browser, but once you start using it, you will never settle for less again.
You'll actually wonder how could you let a browser get away without it.
Once you try a full flash, full HTML, feature packed, monthly updated browser that has a text wrap and works much smoother than iPhone 5' stock safari (I've used it so you can trust me on this too )..you will never settle for a stock only, limited browser again.
You'll see how a mobile internet experience really should be like..a true joy to use.
You don't understand the complaints?
Well, think about this example I gave, and read my lengthy post above.
It's the same thing on all accounts.
Just because you don't know what android can give you, doesn't make a windows phone good enough for you.
I just wish all you could try out the best android experience properly and fully, before going for the WP.
If after that, and only after that, you still prefer and go for the latter, I will have on problem with and have a full respect for your decision.
And as for the windows marketplace, well you're simply wrong.
Android gets several times more new applications, per month. (I think the numbers are somewhere around 50 000:10 000 in favor of Google play )
It's just because the marketplace is so much smaller, it appears to be growing faster
108. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
..just to make myself clear..i wasn't trying to criticize you, "ruukhaviser"..you seem to truly appreciate and enjoy the phone and it seems to be the best choice for you so kudos for that.
i was just using your response to illustrate and point towards some general flaws in picking up an OS.
i have tried everything and if i chose something, it is because i've fully educated my self about choices prior to decision.
wp will work better for some people, no doubt about that - but in general i just find too many of nokia and wp fans simply to be biased and ignorant.
and they are losing because of that
125. ruukhaviser (Posts: 14; Member since: 04 Dec 2012)
Ah, no worries. I don't get offended too easily and flaming doesn't help discussions here (or at anytime); people are potentially reading these to get an idea of what they may want to purchase. You have good points and I'm not in a good position to argue with the other ecosystem. I'm just expressing my opinion on what I see regarding my own device.
I'm assuming you've driven a Windows 7.5 device for awhile to get a good feel for it, and therefore your comments are/would be certainly justified. (Just a helpful tip: make sure you test out an 8 device too so your device education is fully up to date; I don't anticipate your opinion to change, but I just want to make sure you're comparing apples to apples so your well-rounded criticism isn't picked apart by a couple people with perhaps an updated understanding of the recent changes to the OS.) Thanks for your frank discussion.
136. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Well, I'm honestly enjoying your replies so the thank is on you : )
That Nokia of yours is really in a good hands.
But to answer on my WP experience.. it was a fairly short a few occasions without even taking into consideration honestly. Now I know this sounds like a double standard on my behalf but I believe that really isn't the case.
You see I'm a phone geek, and really a power user that knew enough about windows phone to pretty much realize right away it won't work for me.
My first hand impressions about the OS are that of a tight, smooth, cohesive, stylish and maximally simplified and uniformed elegance.
And trust me, I am aware of the advantages of such approach, and the philosophy behind it. I get it. And in many ways I kind of like it.
It was exactly what I expected it would be.
For someone that doesn't need the maximum out of his gadget potential, it can be a good, efficient choice.
But it is far from meeting my needs.
It puts you under a strict, rigid guideline and scheme of functioning.
It's telling you there's only one way of doing things.
Which is just wrong way to go, if you ask me.
It doesn't give you freedom, it doesn't give you the feeling of having a true, incredibly capable and flexible portable computer that can be shaped towards you and just keep on getting better with you in command.
There, that's just my personal take on the matter.
112. Ivan6479 (Posts: 249; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
I totally agree with you "ruukhaviser". This guy sounds like the iPhone lovers back when the iPhone didn't have flash. They were all running around saying their phones didn't need flash, but Apple was quick to implement a flash soon after they had enough complaints of poor pics in low light situations. I remember my friends with iPhone were always asking me to take the pic because you could actually see my images quite well in the dark.
The think is it's hard to know what your missing when you haven't tried something yet. ;)

Hi there! It's safe to say I've been MIA most of this summer, but I promise there are a ton of new creations happening behind the scenes that I will share soon enough.
In the meantime, I would love your help with something… I have a few new things in the works and want to make sure they are the best they can be based on YOU. Take this (super short) survey HERE and you'll be entered to win a $100 gift card to my favorite art supply shop, Blick. *SURVEY NOW CLOSED* (Winner will be contacted his week! Thank you so much everyone!)

Ever since I was little, I have always loved going places. Whether it was somewhere local, or somewhere far away; it made no difference. I was curious about traveling outside of what I knew.
The first time I went to Europe, I was leaving for a semester abroad in Florence, Italy. I can't remember an ounce of fear or hesitation… I knew I wanted to go before I had taken the opportunity. The moment I stepped on the plane for Italy, I loved it. I instantly fell in love with long distance plane travel – it was such a different experience than domestic flights. A moment I'll never forget, is when I looked out my window while most of the cabin was asleep, and seeing the big dipper the brightest and closest I had ever seen it. It was dreamlike to lift the window shade and suddenly be immersed in the stars.
Fast forward to today, and I am still in love with traveling. I obsessively peer out of the window to see the stars on overnight flights (a window seat is a must). I feel lucky to be able to travel as much as I do. Not only to see the stars but to see new places and experience new things.
Of course, there are a few not so fun things that can happen when you travel, but I've learned to just have a relaxed mindset about things. You can't get too stressed when things are out of your power- to me, that is the key to happy travel. However, here are some of my favorite tips to travel smarter!
I only travel with carry-on luggage. It alleviates the possibility of your luggage being lost, it forces you to pack less, and you avoid having to wait at a baggage carousel when all you want to do is get to where you need to be.
No one ever wishes they had more to carry when traveling; so packing less is key. I keep my clothes pretty simple when I travel. Comfortable, versatile, neutral. If I can't wear a piece of clothing in more than one situation, I don't need to bring it. A simple black dress goes a long way. A great carry-on suitcase makes a huge difference too. Here are my favorites:
Rimowa Salsa Deluxe Hybrid 21″ – This one is pricey, but will last you forever. It's sturdy, thoughtful, durable, and beautiful. My favorite part is that there are expandable external pockets- which keep things extra organized. I always pair it with my Lotuff sling backpack – the best multifunction purse for travel.
Away Carry-On – This one is more affordable than the Rimowa. It is still a great case, and also includes an internal battery charger – which can be super helpful when you're stuck in the airport with a dead phone. The quality and details are not on the level of Rimowa though.
Ultra Olive Folding Bag – This one I love for a few reasons. For one, it fits a lot more than you would think since it's a soft duffle-type bag on wheels. The other thing I love is that it folds flat when not in use (which is amazing when you live in a small New York apartment!). Fits right under my bed.
Packing Cubes – I've recently started using packing cubes. They keep things extra organized. Sometimes I'll bring an empty one to pack with clothes I'll need for the next day in my purse. That way I don't have to unpack my suitcase when I'm moving locations frequently. They are also great for shoes.
Especially when I'm traveling to places with more than one currency, I like to order a little bit to start with before my trip. Bank of America allows me to preorder currency online and they ship it before my trip so that I'm ready to go. I never get very much, but sometimes it's nice to arrive to a country with a little bit of cash just in case you need it right away. Especially since some countries aren't as credit card friendly as others.
When I travel with friends, there are lots of times when we'll book different parts of the trip for each other, cover dinners under one card, etc. Instead of dealing with paying each other back in cash, well just pay each other with the SquareCash app. It's super easy and convenient when you're on the road. Just a few taps and the money is sent. My friend Valentina and I used it pretty frequently when we were in Europe the past couple of weeks.
The most annoying thing about traveling in a foreign country is not being able to use your phone as you would at home. Mainly in case of an emergency, or if you get lost. Luckily, I've come across a few tricks!
I never travel without one of these devices! They have changed the way I travel. Both companies have small devices you can order based on the countries you'll be visiting for a low cost per day (typically around $8/day). The devices allow you to have a personal wifi hotspot with unlimited data wherever you go, allowing you to use your phone as you normally would- preventing you from getting lost, and allowing you to share your travels as you go. It also gives me peace of mind if there's an emergency. My wifi device even worked in the Sahara Desert!
Another new thing I've discovered is AT&T wifi calling. They are covered under your normal plan, you just have to turn the wifi calling access on within your device. If you're connected to wifi, you can make and receive calls internationally as you normally would- without incurring any additional charges.
Okay, those are all the tips I have for now… will share art supply travel tips with you soon!
Last year, I came across this video which I found to be incredibly inspiring (I've watched it a million times) . Not only because it features the work of Glen Keane, but because it displayed how real an artist's work can be and exist within their mind. The act of imagining is pretty incredible in itself. I imagine many of the things I create in my mind to be real. To be able to visualize those imaginations on paper so that they can be seen by others is a powerful tool. But, to be able to physically portray those ideas within a 3D environment takes them to another level.
This past January, Google's Data Arts Team invited me to San Francisco to immerse myself into a virtual world where I could create art within a three dimensional space. I spent a full day with the Google team, playing with Tiltbrush for the very first time. Stepping into a giant room covered in black drapes, I was handed the headset which was attached to a long black cord. Once I had the headset on, it was like I was in another world straight away. I had stepped into a dark and serene desert landscape, surrounded by 360º of distant mountains and a subtle starry night's sky as I looked up over my head. It was a super relaxing virtual space. Everything felt calm, and very similar to how I feel when I paint late at night.
Once I had stepped into the VR world, I was handed two plastic controllers. I could see nothing around me in the real world, I was completely inside the virtual world. Once I had the plastic controllers placed in my hands, two virtual controllers appeared within my hands in the desert. There was a color palette and brush palette in my left hand, and a selector and brush tool in my right hand. They briefly explained how everything worked before I went into the virtual world, but from there they wanted me to fully experience what it's like to figure out how to use a new tool. I think it took about 2 minutes to figure it all out. It felt more natural than I ever would have thought. I immediately began experimenting with the different brushes, line weights, opacities, and other tools. Instantly hooked!
Over the next few hours, I began timed drawing exercises. 30 min sketches, 20 minute sketches, 10 minute sketches, etc. Within the VR world, my mind completely forgot about the real world around me. A scary but fascinating situation. The only thing snapping me out of the creation of my art were the occasional moments when I was tangled in the VR cording. At the end of each drawing, I would take the headset off to take a quick break or to let one of the team members go in and experience my drawing. It was the weirdest feeling to step out of the virtual world. My artwork felt very real… like I could reach out and pick it up. Each brushstroke appeared to be a three-dimensional form. As soon as I was out and back in the real world it felt as if I had lost something that was just right in front of me. Very surreal. I couldn't wait to go back in.
I also found TiltBrush to be a challenge. It made me rethink my work completely. Of course, drawing in 2D is a completely different experience than 3D. Drawing a gown on a figure meant creating brush strokes all the way around the woman, so it appeared on all sides as you walked around her. It felt a bit like I was relearning to draw… in a sculptural way.
I loved how physical Tiltbrush made the drawing process. Often, I'm stuck sitting at my drawing table all day when I'm working. In VR, to draw a star in the sky, I had to reach high in the air and physically create that star with my body. It was never something I really thought about while I was using it… it felt natural and intuitive. Unsurprisingly, by the end of 8 hours, I was incredibly exhausted when I came back to reality.
To be able to fill a world around me with my work and imagination was an incredible experience. The future should be fun…

So here we are in Week 5 of the NCAA college football season.
Where did the weeks go?
The big news in the AP Poll is that Oklahoma was ousted as the No. 1 team by LSU for the first time since they were put there in preseason.
Both teams still make our top 20 in tailgating this week, but frankly the Sooners' opponents haven't been that daunting, and this week is no exception.
There are some newcomers to the tailgating list this week, including Navy, Troy, North Carolina State, New Mexico, Illinois and Stanford.
Some of our regulars remain intact because frankly they do an extraordinary job at getting the party started.
Some exciting matchups are afoot this weekend with some make-or-break games going on in conference play, and believe me, there is a lot of conference play.

NIA takes over terror case
By Express News Service - BANGALORE
Published: 04th December 2012 08:38 AM
Last Updated: 04th December 2012 08:38 AM
The probe into the alleged plot to target politicians and journalists in Karnataka by 15 terror suspects has been handed over to the National Investigative Agency, Police Commissioner Jyothiprakash Mirji said.
They were arrested by the Central Crime Branch police recently. Speaking to reporters here on Monday, Mirji said, "The Centre had asked the state government to hand over the case to the NIA as the suspects have nationwide and international links."
"The NIA officials will take the suspects into custody only if it is required. The chargesheet in the case will be filed by the NIA officials," he said.
"Some officers in the city will be helping the NIA in the investigation and filing of the chargesheet," he added.

Multifamily housing is where commercial and residential real estate cross paths. So it should come as no surprise that the same financing problems that office- and retail-property owners struggle with are being faced by developers of rental apartments and condo buildings.
"No city has gone unscathed in the last 18 to 20 months," said New York developer Don Monti, who focuses on downtown revitalization.
But he said he believed that financing for rental properties was available to "aggressive" developers, "since rental is the last market to go and the first to come back."
When demand shrinks, as it has over the course of the current recession, there is a danger that too many units will be built. Rising unemployment remains the main cause of vacancies in the Philadelphia region.
