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

Not that the 920 has the hype the iPhone 4 had, but a lot of people bought a several month old iPhone 4 when it finally came to Verizon. It's all about timing. When is your contract up, are you bored with your current phone, etc. The S3 is still selling like hot cakes and its half way through its life cycle.
I'm still really looking forward to it. I already have AT&T. And I think the exclusivity will only be for 6 months. As far as the weight/overall girth of the phone I'm cool with it. I hate how dainty and delicate the iPhone 5 feels. I don't wear skinny jeans. I'M NOT AFRAID.
Samsung have done amazingly well creating their own cult around the Galaxy line of handsets. It's definitely taken away sales from apple and there is similar interest around the new galaxy as there is around new iphones.
You don't know what you're talking about, have you even used a SGS3? It's incredibly smooth.
I have and I hate it. Worthless piece of crap. Like I said, I'd rather take a Lumia than a Galaxy phone. And no, that is regardless of whatever piss party Apple has against Samsung.
Microsoft did a nice job with their Mobile OS. Shame it came late. Also, S3 uses high hardware specs to make it run smooth, iPhone OS and Windows Phone? Not so much.
It's not smooth due to high specs.
To the person who said Nokia will use quad core next year, don't count on it. WP8 requires S4 chips, like WP7 required Snap dragons. The kernel can support more cores, but the OS is built around one chip only.
Windows phone is cool, but it gets boring real fast. I'm still buying a unlocked device for fun though, but it won't be a Nokia though. Probably a 8x

You are very heavily biased so there is no point in wasting my time really discussing it with you.
How am I biased? You asked if I used it, I said yes. I came to my own conclusion and that makes me biased? Lol, screw logic apparently.
If by efficient, you mean basically it was iOS 1, then I would say right you are.
Pretty dumb comment since iOS1 didnt have simple things like MMS and copy and paste. Windows OS is much better than iOS 1 was but hey, maybe one day you will actually try one of those devices and be able to contribute a real take.

Wow! Talk about being priced to move!
Lumia 920 @ $149
HTC 8X @ $99
These are their companies flagship devices.

^ let's not forget the Lumia 900 was priced at $99 and only sold 600k units to stores.
Lol, I had one and getting another one. Thanks for assuming though. Windows phone had none of those until the NoDo update. You could mms pics but not videos. It didn't have copy and paste either.
The OS is still behind, Game Center makes XBL look laughable. Even after mango the thing doesn't do real multi player gaming.

I just can't bring myself to do it. Not with the Google event just 8 days away. I don't think the windows 8 OS is enough for me. Especially not enough to last two full years on a contract. I think I would go crazy wanting something new.
Surprised Share plan so cheap. I usually don't use much data via 3g since I work at home and have wifi pretty much the whole time...
$40 a month cheaper than straight talk. Not bad indeed
But gonna have to wait for October 29th. Show me a game changer google!

I too am waiting for AT&T to put up their pre-orders. I rather not do business through Best Buy.
It says estimated arrival by 10/30- I wonder what that actually means. Everything I've heard from ATT is that this phone will drop "in November."
Also when I pre-ordered through BB it didn't give me an in-store pickup option, which I would have preferred. I will be out of town until 11/5 so on the off chance it arrives while I'm gone I'd hate to have 3 failed delivery attempts and then have to drive all the way to the DC to pick it up. But, such is life! I'm really excited to play with this thing. I even finally let go of my unlimited data and signed up for a mobile share. I rarely hit a gig a month. So I figured with my iPhone, 920, and then next year I'll add an iPad 4 to the plan, 4 gigs should be more than enough for me.
The only tough decision about ordering the 920 for me was cyan or black, but I went black. You know what they say...

Haha black is always best. Cyan (and the other colors) are great but I feel like they would get old and annoying after a while. Especially in a business environment.
