The WP7.5 is useless at this point, to be honest, so not sure what you'd do with it dingo. As someone who regularly trolls about iPhone, you clearly have no idea what quality of apps means if you'd like to get a WP. Laughing

WP8 at least has the advantage of native C++ development, which might bring some meat to the apps, but meh. Even Android is better than this.

My first con is that it does not support MKV files, and usb on the go but can live without but fucking Zune software is piece of shit. I have never seen more terrible software, even Itunes is better then this crap.

I will be selling Nokia Lumia 800 and going to pick up either SG II or Galaxy Nexus.

And apps are fucking total shit as well, i mean seriously WP market is filled with useless apps.

I might try WP8 when it comes out but I doubt I will get another windows phone.

I didn't base my likeness of Lumia 920 on OS, I like it purely because it looks awesome, and specs are awesome.

Frankly I'd be happy if it had android on it, but W8 might not be such a bad phone OS.

Oh and, I said that he mails it to me if he doesn't want it, because I don't have a smartphone, so any smartphone is better than none Wink

Totally off-topic here but get the SGS2, much more power under the hood compared to the Nexus. I find the Nexus a little too big to hold in a pocket as well. Also, the video card is similar to the one on the SGS1 (it's the same one, actually).

Also, why the hell is Nokia still trying this hard?

I can understand the hardware is on par with the int version of HTC One X and SGS3, and the display is the most advanced for the time being. But still, WINDOWS freakin' phone. Should have went with Android when they had the chance.

I think last time I read is that, there were only 10k keys sold to root your phone, some kind of agreement between microsoft and guys who made it

I ordered my Lumia 920 two days ago, will give it a chance. The specs look awesome, especially the camera. I was a little worried about the size, but I tried the device at a store on monday and it looked and felt great in my hand. Very high build quality. Also the touchscreen is amazingly responsive.

Windows Phone 8 is getting great reviews, except for the app offering, but I hope that'll change soon since apps can be developed for 8, RT, Phone 8 at the same time.

Hopefully it'll be at my doorstep soon Wink

Uber smooth, no slowdowns or whatsoever. Everything launches faster that on any Android or iOS device I've had including Iphone 5. Skype isn't available right now but should be any day now. What I miss is only Dropbox and Teamviewer. Camera starts instantly with a long press even if phone is locked just like in Xperia Arc/Acro S. I really love it.

Nope, with a 2000mah battery its two days with push mail enabled and an hour or two of voice calls and an hour or two of wifi surfing. Which sure is better than Iphone 5 and/or S3, for example, but still not as good as Moto Razr Maxx or Samsung Note II but they got 3000+mah batteries.

Still I love it more and more with each day. Mostly because of design, build quality, touch responsiveness (I dare to say it's better than apple's) and WP8 which is so fast and smooth as if it was a gameboy emulator on a quad-core PC.
