distracted from distraction by distraction
My iPhone 5 is falling apart and I'd like to go back to Windows phone for a bit -- I really miss my old HTC Titan and also had an 8X for a while. Love the interface and don't care much about apps, do want a decent camera. The Lumia 640 looks pretty good; I like the specs on the 640 XL but it might be too big. It isn't clear yet when either will be available in the US. The UK pre-order price for the 640 converts to about $250 USD. At the same time, I can get an unlocked Lumia 830 on Amazon right now for around $300. I know the chipset is dated but overall the specs appear adequate. The design also seems like a step up.

Would I be better off waiting for the 640 to drop, or buying the 830 now? Or something else?

I wonder if I turn on my HTC 8X if it'll work.
I recently got a 2020 iPhone SE with an Apple silicone case and the hand feel instantly reminded me of my old HTC 8X, just a bit chunkier.

This conversation made me go looking for old WP ring tones, I found them on the official SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/nokia-design-team/tracks
Nice find, these are great! When I switched to iPhone I found a set of WP 7.5 sounds ripped from an HTC phone and I keep using them today. Some of these Microsoft ones will be a good change of pace.
