Just for fun, I knocked up this paper template in Photoshop.
Print out on A4 glossy paper and cut out the tabs and fold and stick to make your very own dummy Lumia 920. Gives you a good idea of size and thickness.
Print at 100% for true dimensions.
I am totally going to try this. Thanks!
Wow pretty cool.

which app you use for print?
opened in Photoshop (v12.1) but 100% not right scale...
also tried printer photo app look attached screens to see how is opened
Strange I uploaded it at 100%. Open in Photoshop and go to Image, Image Size and change Document Size to Width=17.39cm and Height=17.11cm and that will make it 100%
Here is the mockup.
Haha solid- here's my new Lumia next to the HD7
Brilliant!
Its about the same size as a HTC Titan but smaller screen.
Hit thanks if you likey likey

Obviously the release date is getting closer and so reviewers will start to put up their thoughts. Here's a fuller description at Pocket-lint:

Looks good, though I would have liked a bit more detail on the note taking functions. Also, they say that the pen only works in two of the apps - I'd love to know if there's a way to mark up PDF documents.
I found this one and it mentioned the us version being red and black!

Well, the one that Best Buy is taking pre-orders on now here in the U.S. is white. Don't know where that red and black bit comes from.
The Flyer if fine for note taking and the palm detection on screen works fine, but some times you can reat the palm on the control "buttons" at the bottom.
For high volume of note taking I think the Flyer would be easier to use if it had a matt surface. I am look at using a matt screen protector.
Does anyone know if the "notes" application allows you to insert PDF files (as to annotate them MS one note style) into the notebook and sync that with the evernote cloud?
Hey all,
I have "Chromed" the Cover of my Titan and have made some pics during the procedure.
The whole process took me 2:20 hours and I must admit that I like the result but check it out!!
I used 400, 240, 120, and 40 gr Paper, to make the finish I used the 40, the others you can choose what you like most, 400 gr takes longer to remove the color but is more accurate and soft to the cover, I used after 1 hour to take only 240 and 120 because it took too long...
The first picture left shows all materials I had used, don't forget to stick the plastic pieces and the buttons!!!!
The pictures are in an chronological order from left to right so first starts left and the final result is on the right.
hey that looks real good, found a chip on the cover so might have to perform this at some points, what are the numbers you quote is that the type of paper
It is abrasive paper which is used dry to take things like colours from surfaces away you can find it in any store which sells construction articles

Ok but it will be in the next 2 days cause I have to study, I will do it as soon as I get time
Looks like an iPhone 2G now haha
well done!
That being said, i'm glad mine doesnt look like that
When I've done this, I didn't compared to an iphone , I am very glad that I have an Windows phone which is -at my opinion a lot better then Ios ^^.
I did it because I don't like black, so it's at least partly gone.

Looks nice until now
You like the finish of the 40 grit? Seems like it might look pretty nice with 1500 grit, then some polish to bring it to a mirror like finish.

I dont lik the mirror-finish, I did it to my HD2 and after some time it wasn't so mirror-like as it was in the begining.
maybe it's a language thing but this is called polishing not chroming
you can't chrome anything without literally dipping it in chrome.
I'd love to see a white case for the titan. Do you think, that this is possible?
you could polish it to give a shiny feel to it.. check out the sensation forums they did something similar also
just saw you dont like it lol
Hehehe, nice work , also u can paint your HTC ))

I'm making a template for my Prime to make my own Skin to protect the tablet. I have included the template in this post. I will also make a template for the backside of the dock later on.
I just tried the template with a piece of 3M DiNoc and everything seems to align pretty well. I couldnt check the speaker holes because when i heated the DiNoc the holes closed again. I will make some pictures tomorrow in the morning with daylight.
Do note that it is still work in progress. If you like it press thanks
Sample pictures of tablet skin added.
Outstanding! Thank You!
Thanks! Keep it up!
It would be nice to see a template that has a cut out where the dock is at the bottom (because of the people saying it doesn't fit well with the protectors)

The dots on the template should be pretty much aligned. I made small holes with a pin but due too the nature of 3M DiNoc the holes "closed" again when i heated the material.
Hey JCreations, thanks a lot for putting this out here. Quick question: when you print this template what are your page size and margins?
thanks for the template, I modified it for the speaker and used with a clear vinyl i had at job...

Just print the png included in the rar as is, it should be just right.
@2fastkuztoms: Great to see it worked out for you. Could you by any chance see if the speakerholes are aligned correctly if you still have some clear vinyl?
I will be making the other templates shortly, so keep an eye out for this topic =)

I would try to check that.
here is the template I modified. Credit goes to JCreations.
So for those who have cracked their polycarbonate housing, badly scratched it or simply got tired of the old colour there is a way you can replace the housing yourself and it's a lot easier than it sounds and will cost you about 70 GBP if you are in the UK.
WARNING! I spoke to Nokia about it and this obviously voids your warranty so only do it if you don't care I did it myself and it worked, if you break something along the way I will not be responsible! Perform this at your own risk!
That being said the actuall process is very very easy and anyone with a screwdriver, a bit of common sense and a spare half an hour will be able to do this.
So first of all you need to order the spare parts. If you are changing the colour you'll need to order three: the housing, usb cover/flap, sim tray. If you replace with the same colour you dont need a new sim tray as you can use the old one. You also dont need to buy the USB cover as the old one can be taken off and put on the new body(however this requires you pulling it off with quite a bit of force which could result in breaking it or making it fit less firmly in future so i suggest that you do buy the new USB door either way) The process of placing a new one on is way easier than taking it off.
I ordered my parts off ebay from "Headlane Ltd"
here is the link for the cyan battery cover:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-N...ps=63&clkid=6717331277486914548#ht_1577wt_854
Search for other parts simply changing the colour in the name or just type " lumia 800 sim tray" or "lumia 800 Usb door"
Anyway once you've ordered the needed items it's time to watch a youtube giude.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YS9azQLWNAI
Now this is a FULL-FULL guide on how to completely tear the device apart. If you are only changing the housing then watch the first couple of minutes and the last ones.
Basically you only need these steps:
1. Taking off the screen
2. Taking off the battery cover
3. Taking out the battery
4. Taking out the motherboard
The rest (flash, side buttons, headphone jack, speaker, various antennas etc) stay in the old body and will be supplied in the new one so dont take them out. Although the middle of this video talks about how to do that. But i'll repeat again:
if you are just replacing the housing you dont touch those, it will be supplied in the new one. Basically you'll be able to see it when comparing what your new housing looks like to the one you just took off your phone. When they look the same, stop, FF to the end of the video where its being put back together and start doing that.
I did this myself in less than 20 minutes having watched the video prior to process. I wanted to change my black housing to cyan and did just that.
I've uploaded two images, one is work in progress and the other is finished work!
I'm in a bit of a hurry now otherwise i would make it more detailed, so if there are any questions post them! Plus the video is very very good at explaining this so thumbs up for the maker!
UPDATE:
Just wanted to add a couple of things now that i have a bit more time:
1.If you are changing the housing cover only whether it's to the same or different colour the relevant part of the video is up to 4:47 and from 14:27.
2.The things that come supplied with the new housing and therefore should be left in the old one are:
Speaker at the bottom
3g/gsm antenna next to the speaker
Wi-fi + BT antenna on the left
Heaphone jack
Camera flash (not the camera)
Side buttons
Small magnet that holds the USB cover in place
3.I used my thumbnail to remove the screen and in the whole process left absolutely no scratches/dents on the case or screen. It wasnt too hard to do.
4.In the video, the maker talks about the screw thats under the usb door telling us to leave it in at first as it wouldn't come out, mine fell out straight away when i flipped the case so be careful! Don't lose it! Put it back in when you re-attach the screen.
5.I found taking out the top left part of the screen quite hard using my thumbnail, so i used a screwdriver to push out the metal ring under the usb door (the one in which the screw was in). It's kind of common sense when you see it.
6.I also found it a bit harder than described in the video to take out the metal battery cover after unscrewing 6 screws. Maybe i was being too careful but within two minutes i managed to find the right pressure point and it snapped out easily.
7.Be very careful unscrewing the screws. I almost messed it up on the top right out of the six that hold the metal cover. It was in very tight and i twisted the head a bit withought the actual screw moving and it started to look very bad. Solved it by using a larger T6 screwdriver. Others were fine with T5 just dont rush.
8.I didnt use a magnetic screwdriver and theres no need at all.
my second picture work done!
Nice work! Thanks for sharing

you're right) i changed mine only because i wanted a cyan since a had a cyan N9. And i must say that i have made the right choice! I actually ended up with better build quality than i had on the N9 even though i did the lumia myself (the screen fits tighter, nothing squeaks etc.)
about the white, i havent yet seen a white housing for sale anywhere.. Perhaps its too early because i havent noticed any other coloured housing covers until recently..on ebay at least.. Anyway if someone finds one share the link!
I was looking at the same seller on eBay. Been searching for a white housing as well no luck yet.

truth be told I was actually disappointed in how the white one looked when I saw it in phones4u yesterday. I think the white and the black are best suited for the minimalistic design of the n9. However I see cyan and magenta look cooler on the lumia even though before, I also thought the white would look awesome. That's just my opinion but I do advise you to go and check it out first
Mmm thanks might have a look first then.

Is there any way to buy a housing in the US? The only one on eBay seems shady as it's listed as for an 800 but there's no camera button on the side.

That one definitely does not look OEM. Aside from the missing camera button, the flash is much closer to the lens few a few mm.

Well the camera button can only be seen (or could) on the right one, but thats the housing for N9 look at the flash placement(two golden squares). The one on the right is supposed to be lumia's because the flash is in the right place but yes it's too close. Looks like this seller doesn't know what he's doing.
I dont know anything about US parts sorry. Does Headlane not ship to US? Or would that be too expensive?
Nah, you can see enough of the left item to see it's missing the shutter button.

either way the flash is in a different place on those two so they cant be the same case. so i would definitely not get whats on this picture. The seller might be selling actual parts just not know much aout them)

Judging by the photo, it doesn't look like an OEM N9 nor Lumia 800. The N9 has the flash to the side of the lens and the Lumia 800 has the flash several mm above the lens. This is a cheap knock off.
The one on the right has the flash on the side of the lens, the one on the left doesn't.
It's just a mish-mash of crap
ok guys like i said before, the one on the right is the one for the N9, i have one and i know.. it also looks very legit (for the n9) at least it looks the same watch:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSJtUbnM46E
esp (2:33)
The one on the left is... i dont know wtf that is.. but the seller doesnt know what he is doing so i wouldnt buy from him.
Agreed. Looks dodgy. Headlane have there own eBay site and stock all the housings. Just emailed them asking when to expect the white to be stocked ;-)

Funnily enough, a week ago when I found this auction the pictures of the housing were clearly a Lumia 900, with the flash on the side. The pictures changed to what they are now a few days ago so.... definitely shady.
Yeah, the problem with Headlane is they don't ship to the US at all. They don't even come up in the search on the US site.

Hi
Windows phone 7.8/8 with various tile size looks good but it doesn't fit well in smaller screen like 3.7" in Lumia 800.
I have tested some WP8 simulator app also. But today I thought of downloading an image of wp7.8/8 start screen to
see how it will look in this screen size.
Then I zoomed the image a bit so it fits the screen till edges without leaving any space on left & right sides. I was surprised
as I felt it more natural to look at & elegant too. I don't know if Microsoft &Nokia can do that or not , but I personally feel that
In today's world where all manufacturer are running after making larger screen , it would be better to utilize more screen space
claverly .
