It's on my list of questions to ask

At the moment it only does 33.5mpx, it has scenes for night shots etc and better handling of flash and burst modes. Once I have a response back I will put up the potential list of features.

I know there are more than a few people who would purchase this app if it did RAW or even was a smoother version of the Pro app. We'll know soon enough

Seeing as this is only available in black, I was thinking about buying the coloured wireless charging covers and or camera cover.

Can anybody tell me how they impact the dimensions of the phone?

Charging cover is not much added bulk. If you get a different colour you will have the colour show on the four corners on the front face so bare it in mind. The space on the back is just flush to the camera mount, increase overall depth of about 1mm. I have mentioned it a few weeks back that the phone rocks on the camera mount when used flat on a desk. The charging cover also helps reduce that issue.

The camera grip is quite bulky, and something im not convinced yet. It does fit well, and is really comfortable to hold etc but unless you are using it nonstop for pictures I really dont see it being justified if forking out for it. It might be handy for some people for a wedding or similar event if taking pictures from early day till night to use the extra battery that the grip has, but on average use I think the phone battery will be strong enough without it.

If your getting the grip anyway, and the black phone. I suggest you try the white grip, I tried the different colour combinations and think that was the best.

Thanks for that.
What I would really like is a display in a shop somewhere to try the combinations for myself. I agree about the camera grip, I was thinking of it in terms of wedding/holiday etc... but if the extra bulk is too much than I might just leave it altogether.

Still really pissed off that it's only available in black.

I have the yellow charging cover and I usually take it off in the mornings when the phone is charged. I fend it adds a lot of girth to the phone that I don't like.
The camera grip is not meant to be used on a daily basis. As mentioned, it's great for a specific photographic purpose, but I would not leave it on at all times.

Why is the yellow not available ? All the ads for the 1020 feature the yellow handset

Black is all that's advertised.

Fits in well with what Jimmy said earlier in the thread about Irish retailers avoiding the bright coloured models.

1020 is coming to three over the next week or 10 days according to 3 Store rep - possibly with free camera grip.

any ideas on a successor (5") to the 1020? Am I right in thinking it won't be too far away?

According to voda its out of stock,i dont think its ever been in stock.

If anyone here has got a yellow one from voda previously do tell!

Still quite liking the phone.

One new issue though - my indoor flash photos are looking really oversaturated, colour wise. I've been doing a fair bit of Googling on this and it seems to be a common complaint. Have any of you figured out a setting that reduces this? I can't seem to get it quite right with the camera settings.

pleasant Co.

Yeah, so if i could get a 64gb unlocked version if this phone, that's be greeaaaat.

For the folks who have the 1020, what sort of battery life are you getting from it?

It's hard to make out from some of the reviews I've read. They seem vary from "it's alright" to "it's terrible"?

PaulieC

I sometimes get dramatic battery discharge, but it's software related. A reboot always fixes it. Otherwise I always get a full day, same as I did with 800/920

I usually get around 12 - 15 hours so it will get you home in the evening before you need to recharge. It has it's up and down days but that would generally be it.
I find Skype drains the battery so that doesn't go in my favour.

NOKIA CAMERA!
New update,notice the speed between shots.

Approx £ 440 incl delivery plus parcel motel seems like good value.

senordingdong

It does.
See the price jump when you change the colour?

pleasant Co.

See it jump a little when you pick white?

pleasant Co.

Nearly bought the black one on billpay today, nearly...but I want white and settling for black would have annoyed me down the line so will wait for the unlocked price to drop.

Each to his own of course, but I think the white one looks like a washing machine

podgeandrodge

Was thinking of this and have only just found out that there is no HDMI out (or MHL) on any Windows phones. That is a deal breaker for me unfortunately.

You know it's not though, right? :pac:

I do. The gloss white is beautiful, makes me miss my 800.

Is anybody using this on emobile with 4g?
Due an upgrade but the 1020 is marked on the website as not having 4g,the 925 is marked as 4g compatible.

If for some reason the 1020 isn't 4g with emobile is the 925 much of a step down?
Thanks
