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.

    • 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

    • OpenClaw now has native mobile apps on iOS and Android

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      OpenClaw now has native mobile apps on iOS and Android by Karthik Mudaliar OpenClaw, the viral open-source personal AI agent, now has its own mobile app, available on both Android and iOS. Users can pair the app with an existing OpenClaw gateway and can start using new mobile-native features that are now available on the app. The app supports all the existing features you'd already have seen on OpenClaw's TUI, as well as some more, such as real-time and background Talk mode, action approvals, sharing from iOS, and optional access to device capabilities such as camera, screen, location, photos, contacts, calendar, and reminders. These features are available on both the Android and iOS versions of the app. What's important with these apps is that they don't run OpenClaw on your phone, but are actually just companion apps that require a running OpenClaw Gateway on an existing device, on macOS, Linux, or Windows via WSL2. To pair the app with your existing OpenClaw gateway, users need to run the command "/pair qr" on the TUI or existing chat interface, which brings up a QR code. Users can then scan this QR code to pair it up with the mobile app. There's also an option to manually pair the app by entering the host and a port. Previously, OpenClaw had been available on phones via WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, and others. Now, with a native mobile app, the interface is much cleaner and more focused on just the OpenClaw, of course, with the added support for camera, screen, location, and more. It's important to note that OpenClaw comes with its own security warnings. There's always a chance of prompt injection with these tools, so users are recommended to double-check authentication, tool policy, sandboxing, and execution approvals rather than prompts alone. For users well-versed with the AI harness, a native mobile app makes it easier to approve an automation, share a link, use voice, or let an agent react to phone-side context.
    • Google pitches Spanner as one database for all AI agents with these new featues

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Google pitches Spanner as one database for all AI agents with these new featues by Karthik Mudaliar Google Cloud is introducing new features within Spanner, its distributed database, as a place where enterprises should keep their data, using which AI agents could make smarter and better decisions. In a detailed blog post, Google highlighted quite a few features coming to Spanner, including relational data, graph relationships, vector search, key-value access, full-text search, and operational analytics together in one database architecture. Google says that today's systems aren't well-made for AI agents. There could be data that is present in one system, search indexes in another, embeddings in a vector database, and relationship data in a graph database. This fragmentation isn't great for AI agents to do their jobs because they don't have access to all of this data in one place. This is where Google is positioning Spanner as a solution. Spanner is already a globally distributed relational database with strong consistency, and Google wants its customers to see it as a broader data layer for AI applications. The company introduced something called Spanner Graph, along with integrated vector search, full-text search, a Cassandra-compatible key-value endpoint, and a columnar engine for analytical queries on operational data. Google also added that its ScaNN-powered vector search can support indexes with more than 10 billion vectors, while the columnar engine can make some analytical scans up to 200 times faster. All of this isn't just exclusive to the Google Cloud Platform, and there's support for multi-cloud as well. This comes via Spanner Omni, which Google says is a downloadable, containerized version of Spanner that can run on Kubernetes and in environments outside Google Cloud, including Microsoft Azure and AWS, and even on-premises infrastructure as well as edge deployments. Google says that customers who are interested in the full-featured edition should contact the company, and there's no word on commercial availability or separate pricing. Those interested can read the full blog by Google Cloud, which details these features individually.
