I was looking at the Lumia 920 HEAVILY over the last month or so...the phone was really peeking my interest and i was really liking what i was reading. My friend got his on release day, and brought it in for me to mess with for a few hours. The phone has a beautiful screen, and you can tell the camera is a heavy weight amongst inferior competition...but the phone felt so heavy, bulky and Windows 8 OS just isn't for me. I felt like i was having to search all over just for basic functionality...the tile system was cool for about 5min. but then became kind of boring to be honest (and a little annoying because it felt like the apps were having to double load for the tile and then to open it to use).
In the end, when i handed his phone back to him, i picked up my iPhone 5 and couldn't be happier with it. That Lumia 920 was about as close as anything was going to come to competition for me, and it just wasn't up to snuff. I like where it was going, it's certainly on the level more so than ANY other Windows based phone before, but it's got some work to do before it's a front runner.
I had the HTC 8X for less than 24 hours. Beautiful device and all. But once you get past the metro look, which is gorgeous by the way, I was definitely bored of it.
