Yeah I had to open 3 iphones before I found one that wasnt scratched, I know others got good ones on the first try but a large number didn't, and like I said, after about 2 weeks I had little scratches all over it, and I babied the thing, the iphone 5 just left a bad impression on me
Got a tip for us?

Lol @ midget hand so let me guess your gf prolly have some really big hand to carry her inspire? HJ must be awesome from her amirite! Anyways, if my hands were midget I wouldnt be able to hold both my galaxy note 1 and 2
How people find that acceptable is beyond me. I will always take durability over form, and for something thats supposed to be premium have more issues than other top of the line smartphones and yet still be defended so vehemently...some things I will never understand.

I will not debate someone who obviously has not matured enough to have an intelligent conversation. You say its too big and heavy when you have a Note? Have you even held the Lumia? Kids these days...

wait you have an iPhone, note 1 and note 2?
Yeap not daily driver! I have all kinda phones, but iphones, and ipads are daily use.
Note> lumia! I dont think my note is heavier than my 900 and sure is slimmer!
Y brah? Note is in a different category of smartphone this is why people call it a phablet right? Last time I check a lumia is in the same category as an iphone! So compare to an iphone or in the same category that thing is just huge and heavy!

Lol no i just have my own company here overseas making apps for little kid like you that can enjoy it with his GF!

Well yes pretty heavy for the size of a 900 amirite?
Well overseas might somewhat explain it, but you have the grammar of a 15 year old cheerleader so it sure doesnt make you look like an adult.
Lol que? Not sure if cereal!
anyways move on be happy with your mini van! I was just trying to put my point of view.I can respect that, some people may think its too big. But I think it is a minority, not the majority of people. If you grew up with 80 and 90s cell phones or even like slider feature phones the weight is not an issue. That and the curved nature of the phone makes it rest in the palm easier anyway.
Why are people hating on other phones? I personally think the iPhone 5 is one of the best smart phones ever made, but I like the Lumia 920 even more. Doesn't mean we should immediately hate any other phone. That's why we have the choice to choose our own. No phone is perfect for everyone
Thank you for some reason haha. I only defend WP8 because I think it gets a lot of irrational hate for no reason, especially because I know 90% of the people who bash it have never played around with one. The iPhone 5 is a great phone, no doubt, but Ive had plenty of time with iOS and I just dont think its the best experience out there for me anymore.
You are obviously not aware that giving your child not the latest smartphone is a type of child abuse
Whatever happened to giving kids phones when they graduated high school? No reason you should have a phone when youre 10 years old.
To each his own I guess, I equate weight with quality. I like knowing my phone is in my pocket. And with all the stuff the 920 packs it makes me feel like its a well crafted phone that is maximizing its potential. Thin and light is nice to an extent, but for a phone that I hardly ever hold up to talk weight just isnt an issue.
Until the app problem gets solved, I could never even consider an OS outside of iOS or Android. Sure, Windows Phone has over 100,000 apps now, but most have been abandoned, never ported to Windows Phone in the first place, or are just nowhere near as polished as their iOS and Android counterparts. Examples: no Instagram, Jack'd, Prismatic, official Tumblr app, Fahrenheit, Letterpress, Etsy, or a proper Google Voice app. It's kind of sad really just how anemic the app selection on Windows Phone is. And for that reason alone I wouldn't even think about purchasing a Lumia 920.
It's good to hear that it isn't this monstrously heavy behemoth like the reviews have made it seem though. And I'm glad you're enjoying your new phone

Yeah, i mean if reviewers knocked off a little bit for the size it would be one thing, but some are making it into a huge deal when its merely a preference thing with the majority of users. How you can give something 3 stars when you praise everything else about it just over dimensions is a little ridiculous. But then again Im talking about trash sites like Gizmodo and Engadget so I shouldnt care too much.
As far as apps, yes, if its important to you and theres certain apps you absolutely need be it for work or whatever then I wouldnt advise it now. But for ~90% of people I think theres enough apps to where they would be able to survive just fine.
Good for you. I am an Apple fan, but I think everybody should own both an iPhone and an Android phone, and stick with what they enjoy the most. People who hate what they haven't tried are kind of dumb.
For me, I went from an iPhone, to an Android phone, then back to iPhone.
But I definitely would take the chance at owning an S3. Or the next iteration.
This is a windows phone, not Android or an iPhone. Think they should try all 3 honestly, each has its pros and cons. And If you owned like a gingerbread android I can see why you went back to iPhone, Android two years ago is nowhere near what it is now. Sure the S4 is going to be a beast of a phone.
Lol que? Not sure if cereal!
It's, like, totally cereal, fer shure.
...actually, I dunno. It could just as easily be a feminine hygiene product. It's so hard to tell when it comes to the fancy stuff.
