Nokia Lumia 920

According to their FB page, they're just making an Irish market announcement about the 920 in December. Just an announcement, no mention of launching.

I'd say it'll be the new year before we see it here, particularly on the networks.

The 920 went on sale in the USA today.

I pre-ordered one from AT&T and it should be at home when I get back this afternoon. Black matte finish. I get sweaty palms so i figured it would be better than the glossy colours.

How did you order it from At&T do you live in America?

I've ordered from Cyberport, the missus had trouble with the zip code while trying to order, but I found leaving that part blank worked fine for me...

Sorry yes. It arrived yesterday.

and after charging and activation I spent a good eight hours messing with it (only used about half a charge too).

After the iphone4 its Huge. And I'm still getting used to the size. I have big hands so it fits well. The case is really nice and solid, its shaped like a huge 4th gen ipod nano. The weight is fine. Its heavy but no heavier than the iphone in a bulky case.

Windows8 is fun. I really like it. But I really like change so it could just be an initial excitement at the huge difference. We'll see after a month or two. There is a huge increase in speed over the iphone. Speed of the device and connection speed. The 4g has been as fast as our home wifi.

So far I've been able to replicate about 75% of the apps I had on the iphone, and thats going to change fast now win8 is finally out.

:pac:

how the browser and camera m8?i would better like to hear from hands on fellow man, then reviewers.

The browser is adequate. Internet Explorer. My first impression were that it was clunky, a third of the screen was taken with menus. But to be honest I've only spent about 20mins max with it. On the other hand I didnt want to spend much more time with it. I've assumed that other browsers would be available in the app store but I havent seen any yet.

Same with the camera. I took a couple of shots in my low lit apartment to see the low light qualities that are being pushed. And it looked fantastic. Really good. But again only spent about 20mins with it.

Pics are auto saved to a folder. If you've set up "cloud drive" i think they get auto saved there as well which is good because you can then load them up on your PC without having to sync.

I installed the PC "windows phone" software. Iw as expecting something similar to itunes but its much more basic at this point. It seems more like a way of sync'ing with your PC rather than a control panel for the phone. That's okay though its still early days.

The "bing" (search) button works pretty well. I dont quite see the point though.

I tried CIty Lens yesterday in a quite built up area of seattle and it was pretty useless. Although I have a feeling there's some more set up I need to do.

GPS seems really good/accurate. Maps are Great. You can download maps to use offline too. No street view but I'd take them any day over google maps.

There's still a lot of features I still have no idea about. I only sent my first text this morning and it worked well. Nice actually, the win8 graphics are just more pleasant (i think) than the iOS.

I have three co-workers who I've promised playtime with the device tomorrow so I wanted to keep installing private stuff to a minimum until i've showed it around.

No. PC.

What about the Free charging pad on Friday?? I was disappointed that I didnt get one with the phone. Whats the deal about friday?

Early adopters with AT&T get a free charging pad as an incentive, but they aren't shipping them yet:

Finally got my order through from Cyberport...

Are they really charging €600+ for it or am I wrong? AT&T are no-commitment for $450, I'm thinking an early Christmas present

Was on to AT&T and the deal is you order it no-commitment and pick a plan, then once you get the phone, before you activate it you cancel with them and they send out the unlock codes. No fee. So $450 and walk away.

I was only chancing my arm with her to be fair, I said I'd be traveling with work so if I was to get it I'd need to be able to swap between networks. She said once I do like I said above I'd be fine using it abroad on GSM networks. I didn't get to go to any store today, gonna go tomorrow and suss it out a bit better, maybe go to the Microsoft store altogether too. I'm heading back home on Saturday so I'm kinda caught for time.
