    Wasn't the last time a royal was called George, wasn't Brittan at war with the UK AND France. I think this is a b*** slap to America and France. Change his name to Bob or else I will not watch any more shows from the BBC.

    Actually the last George was King when we fought WITH the US and France https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_VI[^] Oh and we were also fighting With the US and France during George V https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_V[^] I think you are thinking of George III https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_III_of_the_United_Kingdom[^] does look bad for the World as it seems the big wars happen under a King George

      Um. No. George VI[^] reigned 1936 - 1952, and at no time during that period was Britain at war with itself, or France. We were also not at war with the USA during that period, and indeed we fought with the USA, France and other countries against the Germans for a couple of those years. You must have heard of that war, after all John Wayne won it a couple of dozen times! :laugh:

                                Can't be fun having to live your whole life in the spotlight from the time you were conceived!! But at least his parents have plenty of experience to impart in that area..

                                  Marc Got my Lumia 920 yesterday and so far, I love it :-) I did lose some screen space though. I could show 8 full size icons in my Focus, I can only show 6 in my 920, and only the top halves of the bottom 2 icons are seen. Must be a resolution difference. Maybe the OS version is different too. BTW, I noticed what seems to be a front camera, do you know when that comes into play? Also, have you ever opened the back and taken the battery out? Thanks Marc!

                                    Congrats! The screen resolution is actually higher. However, since MS eliminated the large gutter on the right side of the screen and increased the medium tile size to take that space, that affected the vertical space. And yes, you're now on Windows Phone 8. You can now resize tiles to three sizes -- small, medium, and wide. Small is 1/4 the size of the standard (medium) tile and is great for things like email and messages that have live tiles but that don't have any content other than the number of emails or messages to show. Medium is what you're used to in a square tile and wide is what you're used to in a wide tile. To change size, tap and hold, then tap the arrow button that appears at the bottom right to cycle through the sizes. The front-facing camera allows you to Skype, shoot video, and take selfies without a mirror. :) The 920 is sealed, so you can't remove the battery. If the phone locks up, you hold down the volume down and power buttons for 10 seconds. Enjoy, and feel free to hit me up with any other questions. I'd be happy to give you an email address so you don't have to hunt down old posts of mine. :-D

                                      Thanks a lot, Marc! :-) My wife got a Samsung Galaxy S3 yesterday too. So 2 new phones to play with (assuming she'll continue letting me play with her phone)!

                                      Regards, Nish

                                        Cool. My wife has a cyan Lumia 900 (WP7). Just updated it to 7.8, so she has the same resizable tiles as WP8 does.
