Trying to get used to the new interface. Have to say that the keyboards are a bit tight. The space bar key is too small and I keep hitting the comma key. All post some more thoughts soon

during the 1st week, i'm annoyed when my palm keep pressing the search button while texting

that happens even with lumia 900. if u use 1 hand texting...

Yep, same here. I'm kind of disappointed at the keyboard actually; takes up so much real estate. It is taller than an iPhone 5, but with the keyboard out, can barely see the past texts.

Finally I'm leaning towards 920 than ip5 after read the review. Didnt expected 920 can be that good!

hahah..... mayb after the release nokia gv update to hv a better keyboard?

thats I think that is altering the UI of windows phone 8 already. Nokia will not touch that

Does the Lumia 920 support HDMI?

Okay here's a quick short review after 1 day of playing with this phone (bear in mind that most of my comparisons will be based on my previous experience with an iPhone 4s)

1. The People Hub and the synchronisation with FB contacts is just awesome. I like the fact that I can see the FB news feed just by going to the People Hub and by clicking on "Me" I can see who has commented on my status updates and I can reply or "like" any of the post without going to the Facebook app.

2. The screen is awesome and especially under bright sunlight .... unbelievable.

3. The weight is a non-issue.

4. The build is just awesome.

5. The apps are okay. I believe I have most of the important apps that I use (whatsapp is the top of the list). One of my favorite apps has mentioned that they will wait till summer 2013 to see if WP8 ecosystem takes off before deciding to port to WP8, well that's one business they will lose because I can't wait till summer! SO now looking for alternative apps.

Now some of the gripes or some issues I have

1. I have had 2 random reboots so it is happening to me as well. It is reported to be occurring to 20% of the sets sold.

2. The keyboard is too high. Each keyboard key is a rectangle instead of a square which caused the keyboard screen to occupy half the space which defeats the purpose of having a gorgeous 4.5" screen. The keyboard should take only at most 1/3 of the screen space not more than half. Microsoft needs to change the size of each individual key (hint, make it a square instead of a tall rectangle)

3. Keyboard sounds .... maybe it's me but I have no idea how to mute the keyboard sound. The keyboard sound is just a tic toc sound which is lame.

4. IE10 and the back button. Apparently if you run IE10 from the live tile, the back arrow at the bottom of the phone acts as a apps switcher or it kicks you back to the previous app instead of the previous page in IE. If you ran IE from the app list, the back button works as it's suppose to i.e it navigates you back to the previous page which however brings me to my next gripe ...

5. No forward button in IE10 ... really? Sometimes I make a mistake and press the back button ... there is no way to go forward as there are no forward button ... this is a total fail. Some people say that they barely use the forward button ... well I do and I'd like to have the option of enabling it.

6. Battery sucks. It can barely last a day (well it did last till 6PM). But I found that it may be caused by NFC. I have disabled NFC (Tap+Send) because I don't see when I'll be using it and if that is the cause of my battery drain, then good riddance. I'll monitor my battery life tomorrow as I have disabled Tap+Send

7. Found that the flash comes on even when you disable flash. Apparently I have to disable Focus Assist (I think it was mentioned in one of the post here).

Overall, I'm getting used to the Lumia 920. I have to say that the phone is just excellent and if software updates are released to fix some of the gripes I have, this will be a great phone.

kuroneko, thanks for the keyboard tip. I suspect that if I disable the key press the haptic response will also disappear?

As for Focus Assist, yeah but sometimes it does mess with the photo so I'll keep it off and see how it goes.

Still annoyed about the forward button in IE10 though .... I mean they gave you a choice of choosing the address line function (Favorites, New Tabs or Refresh ... they could have added the forward button as well!)

yeah the haptic feel is gone when you switch off the keyboard sounds but then again, I did the same thing with my iPhone as well and I got used to it.

The battery level is still going down really fast. It's down to 89% after 1 hour since the last charge which is similar to the iPhone 4s when you switch on the 3G (or in this case HSPA+).

Apparently I cannot set to manual sync for my Microsoft account so I've set it to only retrieve the email daily (since that is not my main email account anyway).

Probably just need to do a couple or several full cycle battery conditioning before the battery performs optimally.

Now testing the Dolby settings with my Beats Solo HD ... the sound is great ... damn this is an awesome phone.

try to give a few of charge cycles first... that's what people said over wpcentral

yeah, probably need to do that first. It's only been 2 days heh heh heh ....

Talking about keyboard, does anyone know how I can remove the localized keyboard that was installed by default? I have Arabic (I'll probably use that once in a while) and Hindi (which I will never use).

how to remove the Hindi keyboard?

Added on December 1, 2012, 8:50 pmNever mind. Found the way to remove the keyboard. Just Press & Hold and the option to remove will appear.
