I'm glad I got my Lumia 900 already. Sounds like they might be harder to come by this weekend.

Yeah. And after the bug, the affected phones have been taken out of stores to correct them. They will be sent back in a few days.

And this will create even more shortage.

I thought it was a software thing, meaning that once they were updated in store, it would then be resolved...? I didn't think they were actually sending stock back to Nokia...

This guy seems to be always in the news with a new phone or tablet. Albeit Android, Blackberry, Apple, Windows Phone... etc...

His a nerd with money and I expect him to be getting a new device regularly. Though it doesn't need to be reported by news outlets though.

Actually, the blackberry one is 3 years old, so maybe that doesn't count.

Was meant to add that this has already been reported in several news outlets already - that was my point.

...yay?

windows 7 fanboys love it and think it's sweet that the one of the founders of apple (who is a giant tech nerd, not an apple nerd) is buying something not apple (especially when he has nothing to do with the company any more)

Apparently Nokia and AT&T are pulling the Lumia 900

of stock shelves and returning it to Nokia to be flashed

with the new, LTE-bug free firmware.

This process will apparently take 3-5 days, meaning the

phones will only get in stock early next week.

The phone is still available online, where of course either

shipment can be delayed until fixed handsets are available,

or they can make sure only handsets free of the problem

are being sent out.

In the same way that all the Apple fanboys swoon when they hear that he's got his hands on the latest iPhone ;)

I have a Lumia 800.. why can't I be in the news?

You're doing it in the wrong order, you should've helped start a big tech company first and then bought a competitors product.

X-byte getting a Nokia Lumia 900

post-345940-0-94665600-1334437864.png

It is rumoured, that x-byte has also acquired a Lumia. It is not yet known if he will use it as his primary device or secondary. Being a Wii admirer, it is yet to be seen whether he will like the Xbox integration.

We have sent a request for further information to x-byte's representatives, and will update this article with any details that we receive.

    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Honestly that feels even more useless than it did when Win11 was first released. In 2021, the uproar was somewhat justified, but only when comparing how good we've had it since Windows 7. Prior to that, a new Windows release would often require new, or very recent hardware. Windows XP wouldn't run (in any usable way) on hardware released when it's predecessor Win98 was released (let's ignore ME). It was time to shift the goal post, and the way Microsoft did that was actually ok. People have still had another FIVE YEARS of free software support with Windows 10, and those of us who want to have used these tools to bypass the limitations, all while understanding the impacts that may have. Most laptops don't last 5 years (sadly), so now the youngest unsupported hardware is 9 years old, and apparently has another year of support with Windows 10. That's good. Meanwhile, understanding the impacts and limitations, I have my 2013 laptop running Win11 perfectly fine. The thing that's failing on it is the hardware, the 2.5" SATA cable/chip is failing and corrupting the SSDs I put in. Thankfully it has a functional M.2 sata drive that works fine!
    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By monterxz · Posted

      You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.
    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
