    How do I make my expensive Note 8 do what my much cheaper Windows phone did right out of the box?

    Loved the people hub! Even though it has been a few months there are just some things my WP did better that i miss. Evolution though I guess

    How do I make my expensive Note 8 do what my much cheaper Windows phone did right out of the box?

    Hi Ken, I totally understand what you are asking. I still miss my 928 and my Icon for those reasons. From what i have been able to figure out it was/is a Windows / Nokia thing only. I am hoping since Nokia is back in to Cell phones that this ability is one of the patents they acquired. I do...

    Any Nokia Android question for old windows phone users

    Do the Nokia phones retain the text to speech function over bluetooth like the windows phones do? If you had a windows phone you will understand. I love how i was told the Note 8 would do this. Nope! I bought a Note 8 and while it is neat, and a huge step up from my Nokia Icon (930) and my...

    Decided

    When i got my Note 8 from Best Buy they applied the $300 credit as down money. Best Buy has a deal on Samsungs Dec 10th not sure what it is yet. The Samsung car accessory fast charge is much cheaper at Walmart ($16) vs Best Buy ($26)

    Contacts, calendar' birthdays, anniversaries not showing up

    So, i took the time to go through all of my old contacts and entered them in one at a time on my new Note 8 using the Samsung Contacts app. My contacts do show up on the new gmail account i had setup prior to getting the phone. I have the contacts saved to gmail not device. When i go into the...

    Unlocked Note 8 from Bestbuy on Verizon

    Late response, my apologies. So the wife and I went to Best buy and picked up 2 Notes. I figure even if nokia comes out with the 9 it won't be ready to use on Verizon right away so no big deal. Best Buy did treat the current $300 promo as money down, plus I could put down as much as I wanted...

    Unlocked Note 8 from Bestbuy on Verizon

    Excellent! Thank you, I will revisit my local Best Buy. I do wonder if I should wait for the next promotion they have on the 10th. I won't though, I'll go get it tomorrow for her. I'm tempted to get one for myself, I've been waiting for the Nokia 9.

    Unlocked Note 8 from Bestbuy on Verizon

    The issue with getting the phone with the $300 discount you only get the full $300 if you pay for 24 months. I was told that if you pay it off early you lose the amount. $300 / 24 = $12.50 a month. So if you pay it off after month one you need to pay the $287.50 that you would have gotten as the...
