IMO, the Nokia Lumia 920 is the first truly worthy adversary to the iPhone! (Pics)

That's because these new W8 phones don't look like they've been designed and put together in a high school shop class. (I'm not talking quality here)
It is a nice looking phone, but I was a little taken back by how similar it looks to the Lumia 920. I guess I shouldn't be surprised though. For me personally, I'll pass on it. Still going to get the Lumia.
I think a lot of people who were on the edge about the Lumia will instead get the HTC because it is slimmer. I feel like 16g without expansion was a big mistake though.
HTC / MS may be banking on SkyDrive to help mitigate the small storage space. I suspect WP8 is also noticeably smaller (size-wise) than other mobile OS as well, so maybe that helps too.
I've always said that if there was one thing Apple needed to do differently to stay ahead of the curve it's make a yellow iPhone. /sarcasm
Because having more color options is a bad thing? It's not like yellow is the only available color bud.
This.
Though I might give them a chance again and have it as my 2nd mobile phone that is, if am rich as I find their mobile OS very different vs. iOS.
No they look like they were designed in kindergarten class.
j/kI like the design of both phones but they're too big and bulky for my tastes. Will be interesting to see how they do. I'd be nice to see Samsung get some competition.
Haha good comment. I don't find the S2 as gay as such. Its a very unreliable and unstable phone in my opinion. My phone spent over a month being repaired then eventually replaced, still does strange things like randomly restarting itself freezing and sudden drop in battery.
XDA-Developers is your friend
AOSP based Jelly Bean ROM's should take care of your issues pretty well.
The very strong selling point for me would be full car navigation and off line maps (for 110 countries). As far as I know only Nokia has off line maps.
I took my iPhone 5 back in order to try the Lumia 920 and maybe the S3 (again). Or maybe the next Nexus. Hell I don't know but I just want the options because the iPhone 5 didn't do it for me.

They look like a copy to be honest. Also they don't have any stand out features like wireless charging etc
I dont think they are a copy. Looks like they are just using the colors of the windows logo on their phones. Other than colors, they dont look like the Nokia's imo.
Also, i for one dont care about wireless charging. It isnt anything i need or consider a great feature. Apple had that going on a couple or few years ago in which you had to buy the pads to set the devices on and you dont hear anything about it now.
I respect your opinion but the unibody polycarbonate design as well as the bright colors that HTC hasn't done before (as far as I know) make these look very very similar to the lumia. I will try them both I guess before making my decision between android, windows phone and iOS. iOS is in last place right now as I just returned my iPhone 5.
It may be what Windows wanted. Either way i like the color choices but HTC still dont have a MicroSD slot in the 8X so that is out for me.
I'm sorry to dissapoint you.

I think the 820 does which so far is said coming to T Mobile. If not, im not getting a Windows phone unless i get the Samsung. Im more interested in the new Nexus anyways
After reading the link, the 920 comes with 32gb. I was figuring it came with 16. 32 is the minimum id buy without a micro sd slot. So it is still in the running if it comes to T Mobile. Still more interested in the new Nexus coming out
The Nokia Lumia 920 is 10.7mm thick which is way too thick. Nokia calls this their flagship, high-end smartphone. Yet it's over 1 mm thicker than the iPhone 4/4S which is 2 year old design. Not to mention the glossy coating (yuck) and colors (yellow, red). While I like the WP8 UI and I really like Nokia's engineering, they need to slim down a little. Also, their camera tech is about the only thing that's significantly improved versus their older Lumia devices. Yes, the CPU/GPU is better but that's not really that exciting. I'm going to pass on this, the horrid color choices and glossy coating are the big turn-offs.
Wow it a whole mm thicker? How will we ever hold it?
BTW, that is just a smidge thinner than the first Gen iPhone and over a mm thinner than the iP3 & 3GS. Those two were 12.3 mm thick.
Did you own either of those?
I dont get the infactuation with thinness.
Everyone in here always said the iPhone felt solid because of its weight, well now it is very light and some reviewers say it feels cheap but im sure everyone in here will say it feels solid as a rock.
