Thanks for your message - I get what youre saying, though the lighter (25% reduction) chassis, better AMOLED screen, better battery life & GDR2 out the box are quite appealing.

This is not a good time to upgrade. I would suggest that you stick with Lumia 920 for now and wait for the next WP8 devices which will feature 1080p screens and quad core processors. They should definitely be launched by end of this year and with Nokia, you can expect a good camera.

Well it IS your call in the end, but selling a phone to buy almost the exact same one is crazy if you as me :s :wacko: :/

Yeah prob is a nutty move, but I want a lighter phone really that I am happy to stick with till the end of my contract Q4 next year. I use my phone loads and the 920 weight is rather noticeable as I use it so much more than I did.

 Thanks for your message - I wouldn't buy expensive 1080p quad core right away due to cost (still in ?40/month contract) so L925 is a little step up that I feel I could use/enjoy until later in 2014 when the next WP tech jump has been tried, tested & improved upon.  Plus next year I'll prob go sim only & buy new device outright after this contract & L925 will be worth more to sell @ that point.

Apart from hairline scratches on the screen that were not in the item description on eBay, I'm really pleased with the 925 - it feels so much nicer to hold than my Lumia 920.  Loving GDR2 & the few extras it has over GDR1. definitely a worthy upgrade.  Low level light shots are I think a significant improvement on 925 camera.  All I gotta do now is sell my 920.

Not trying to hijack your thread or anything but I have to agree the 925 is a nice phone. Moved away from Sprint recently to T-Mobile and grabbed the 925, BEST. DECISION. EVER. My only complaint is the lack of microSD support. That and the apparent lack of cases for it everywhere. Either way, good decision. Hope you enjoy it as much as I am enjoying it, my favorite feature is the FM Radio which I couldn't do on my last phone (GS3). :/

 

Also you should also contact your seller to get a partial ($20-$30 maybe) refund on the selling cost as it wasn't 100% to the description. Doesn't hurt to try. Worst he can say is no. ;)

I wish the 925 was to when 8X came out because I would have gotten that but the 920 is about the same thing. Should have waited for the windows phone 8.1 or 9 phones to come out. That's what I'm going to do with my X8.

      Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
