I guess you have a point there.
But for those who are not into games and lots of apps, an ability to sync with window platform later (with win 8) do serve some good. I also saw some of the nokia presentation last night, and admit that while nokia provide the hardware, its the software that eventually make it practical. Assuming the window 8 can only make things better, and workable with tablet, I would assume that the first thing microsoft should do is the ability to change platform by the owner. meaning sync with tablet, or desktop and handphone in daily productivity work.
I don't play game. The reason I don't get an ipad is that ipad or other tablet does not allow user login, meaning all data I have on my tablet will have to be shared by all user. Win 8 should bypass that security concern. So its good for serious users with lots of personal data to play with.
Handphone with its limited size is never able to zoom effectively. Even with pureview I hardly zoom knowing deep down that it just dilute the resolution by doing so. So handphone camera can only be used as fixed 28mm camera with great resolution at best, much like the Fujifilm RX100 I think ?
So I think nokia this time, with the convenience of wireless charging, ability to play full Office document and sync with desktop in future, will be able to attract serious attention. I don't think they are there to fully clash head on with the younger 18-30 yr old consumers. 920 seems like aiming towards 25-45 year old executive, college crowds, and senior exe. Definitely not for 16-20 year old music listeners per se.
I am choosy towards those stuff actually. If the item attracts me, I think it would attract lots of others too. Just an opinion.
I used Windows Mobile since it's first version; Microsoft was never about controlling and limiting users. WP is totally different, but then based on WP problems and design, it seems as if the project was done by some outside company or something because there's some flaw in their DB Contact design which shouldn't happen to a company like MS which have own DB software and they even teach proper DB Design in their courses.
Anyway, WP7 is very much like iOS, where iPhone is just an iPod Touch with phone feature, WP7 is the much improved Zune Media Player with phone feature, instead if basing it on a smartphone or proper Pocket PC. Probably they wanna "follow" iPhone, since iPhone is successful....
Fuji X100 is a 35mm and using APS-C size sensor, so it's giving about 50mm focal length in 35mm format. It's totally different with fixed 28mm handphone camera. Have you tried using 808 at widest angle all the time? Notice the distortion?
Anyway, I'm sure the Lumia 820 and 920 still can zoom, just that it won't have similar 808 PureView lossess zoom technology.
With 808 PureView, it's not the 38MP or 34MP, when I'm using PureView 8MP, I can get the same true 8MP quality even I zoom to the max. That's a big difference here if you were to compare.
I'm also choosy, but it doesn't mean if it attract me it would attract others. I think we should be open and understand each person has different needs. Sometimes, even we think the product was very good, it doesn't mean everyone will like it. There're many different category of users, hence, why there is many different category of products. That's why I find it weird that Nokia once understood the need to different person and they used to come up with different product for different category of people, suddenly locked down and use only WP.

They twist and turn. Pureview now it's not the original pureview. It just uses its name. It becomes pure motion
Yup, where is the PureView technology?
It's sad Nokia has come to use this tactic. It's becoming like... erm... Apple.
I read about their micro-SD support not available in Lumia 920... My Gosh, the lame excuse, typical Apple. What's happening to Nokia?????

Which means we would expect a super phone by Nokia which has all the above features, ie. 41MP, OIS, windows for higher price ? Or maybe it can be found in Vertu brand ?
The question: Can WP support it.
