The Windows Phone ecosystem is about to get a whole lot more diverse with the introduction of Windows Phone 8 and a bunch of new screen sizes. Luckily, the Internet is here to help with a handy size comparison chart to help you navigate the new options...

Samsung ATIV is cool with the big screen but the look is generic to android handsets.
Nokia is just too big and heavy!
The HTC 8X however is the phone for me, awesome looks, awesome build quality but the screen is a tad small...well that's bearable :)

I think the Nokia Lumia 820 is better looking than the Nokia Lumia 920. it is sad that the Nokia lumia 820 has the same dual core CPU and 1 GiG of ram as the Lumia 920 has but the put lower resolution screen on it I know nokia did that to lower it's cost but wow folks had they given the Nokia Lumia 820 a 4.3 inch High def screen like the HTC 8x has wow Nokia would have had the 2 top Windows 8 smart phones on the marlet place instead of one. OH well there's next year

True, but there has to be more pricing differentiation between them. From the looks of it, the 820 could be priced around $50-100 on contract, and the 920 at $200. Higher-def screen on the 820 might have pushed it in the $150 range.
That said, there are hints of more Lumia phones to follow, entry- and mid-level, and Nokia has a good history of filling in gaps and offering something to suit almost any budget.

I LOVE the Lumia 920 but why is there so much bezel down there at the buttons? Couldn't they have made it with the bezel of the ATIV? Great phone nonetheless. I'm completely undecided between L920 and ATIV S...

you should get the Lumia 920... much more features than the Ativ S
Ativ S is just like a typical Windows Phone... nothing special..

I understand that there is a trend for larger sized screens. However there are many people out there who want flagship or near flagship specs with a 3.5-4" sized screen. Can't we have both guys? there is room for 5" monsters and 4" ones with similar specs?? Why does smaller screen have to equal low-mid range with android and wp8?

I'm of the opinion that users should be able to choose phones like we do laptops. Screen size & resolution, processor, RAM, other peripherals, OS, etc. So if I would, theoretically, want a Snapdragon S4 Pro with a gig of RAM in the body the size of a Galaxy Note 2 with a higher-res screen running WP8 with Nokia's software and hardware perks, I could, as much as I might want an OMAP5 in a 3.7" IPS screened with 2 gigs of RAM running ICS with a body no thicker than a Droid RAZR. It's highly unlikely, given the disposability of phones, but it's a nice idea, in theory.

It's color galore!
I actually like the HTC 8S look best. Maybe due the similar look to Sony devices that I like.
And I just realized that Lumia 920 is thinner than Lumia 800! I'm definitely getting it (given the price is not too expensive)
