I think nokia has done a gr8 job. I like to see pure view 41mp camera but not until nokia's manages to putt it inside a slim design

Nokias looking pretty pathetic these days. Recycled N9 design....again. Watered down Pureview branding. WP8 with no differenitation. And they got caught lying about the pictures shot for the promo. Oh yeah, a winning strategy. They simply missed 'the' opportunity they had to truly break away into a truly new flagship phone design for the 'new' OS. Sad really.

A HD+ screen with over 1000 nits (it did state the 920's screen is the brightess it's ever produced), A capacitive technology that not only works with gloves off, but gloves on! Rich Recording dB levels. Integrated wireless charging based on non-proprietary Qi standards. New OIS tech for smartphones, allowing better low light performance when coupled with large aperature high quality Carl Zeiss lens. The only downside...we really do not know all of the features WP8 has to offer just yet.

I hope it's the same price the 900 was on AT&T. I only have $100 right now so I hope I'll have enough for the 920!!!!!

I'm an Apple fan, but the Windows Nokia phones look great. If only they had more apps and a little better multi-tasking, I would definitley get one. Its definitely better than the unsupported crap Android phones out there.
