The Lumia 920 is selling out all over the world so I don't know how the AP resellers are going to get their hands on the units. If they do get some units, it will probably be pricey. I'm counting the days to get my hands on the yellow 920. I hope that I get a good unit, I've heard that some units comes with dead pixels etc so here's hoping that mine is okay .....

Ohh Ooooh. That's not good. Seems like the first batch gets dust underneath easily and I live in a dusty environment whta with sand storms and what not .... not good, not good at all.

Once I get my hands on it I'll do a short review of the things I like and what not. I hav an app called PocketMoney (Catamount Software) that I use extensively and I don't believe they have any version for the windows phone which is going to be a problem.

This app (PocketMoney) is one that tracks what you spend etc so at the end of the day you can have a look at the bank balance, credit card balance etc. I have information going back to 2007 so I hate losing all the information. It's like MS Money or Quicken for the Smartphone. Any alternatives (espcially ones that can import QIF files) will be much appreciated.

Thanks guys, I will check-out MoBudget. Hopefully they can import QIF files.

Some has reported that after 3 days, with full battery cycle etc, the battery life has improved a bit. My 4s doesn't last me a day so I'm used to charging the phone all the time. That's why I will have to buy the charging plate and the stand (one for home and one for the office). the problem is I think those accesories will come in late. I've been reading that the accesories availability is abyssimal.

Saudi is a tad cheaper than UAE prices. It will be equivalent to RM2050 (SAR2499) which for a 32GB with all the specs is just cheap. I paid SAR3650 for the 64GB iPhone 4s ....

It should be a Penta Band factory unlocked. Saudi does not allow locked phone to be sold in the country. Should get mine in 6 days .... damnnnn so long have to wait.

That is off-contract prices (before the normal 8% sales tax) and off-contract does not mean factory unlocked or sim-free. My understanding is that your relative will have to wait 6 months before he/she can call AT&T to request for the phone to be unlocked.

Here's a review from UberGizmo, notice the note regarding turning GPS off to get better battery performance.

Apparently the GPS is turned on system wide if you answer Yes to a request for location based service instead of App by App basis and also instead of turning on location service (GPS) when the app requires it.

Me very jelly jelly ........ one more week to go .....

Wow, this makes my Saudi 920 much cheaper because it's only USD666 or RM2050 ... phew ... bila la nak dapat ni. Arriving to the shores in 2 days and should clear customs by the 28th (4 more days). I asked about the charging plate, it's going to cost SAR249 or about RM195 so not too bad lah ..... they have no idea about the stand but they will carry Fatboy charging pillow ....

3 more days!!!!!!! Fuhhh gatal tangan oledi. Anyone has a good link for how to transfer my iPhone contacts to Windows Phone?

Thanks kuroneko0509. I'll check them out.

Mana ada .... Lumia 920 supports USSD daaaa

Sweet. I was googling and couldn't find any easy way. Using Google Contacts and Outlook.com does not really work. Those that use AES (Activesync Exchange) cannot merge contacts. It only works one way (i.e. from Hotmail to iPhone but not the other way around) so I cannot move my iPhoen contacts to Google/Hotmail Contacts. The only solution was to physically connect the iPhone and have iTunes syncs the contact to the computer yada yada yada .... malas nak buat.

The 16GB iPhone 5 will cost RM2290, the 32GB iPhone 5 will be 2690, the Lumia 920 has a better camera, wireless charging and better screen. If Nokia sells it for RM2200, it's a steal.

I guess I am just comparing it with the iPhone 4s that I have which cost me close to RM3K when I bought it in January. Nokia has a lot of balancing act it has to do. I do believe that if Nokia were to price it too low, then there is the perception that it is a non-quality product. It also has to satisfy its shareholders and with the current cash reserve that is probably less then when they started on the Windows Phoen bandwagon, they really can't be taking a loss (or too much loss). For a guy like me who can afford it and someone who really loves buying these gadgets, I personnaly feel that RM2050 (I am paying that amount from Nokia Saudi) is cheap as hell. The only phone that I ever bought that was cheaper than 2K is the N8 which I promptly sold after 7 months. Then again, that's me personally.

There will always be people who complains etc. If Nokia were to price it at 1500, there will be people who complains that it's too expensive and it should be priced at 1K etc, so where do you draw the line? It is selling for 700 AUD in Australia, close to 520 pounds in UK and above 700 Euros in EU countries. The cheapest price I've seen is the off contract prices from AT&T at USD450 and that is off contract and not factory unlocked. Is the Malaysian market that big that Nokia should give us an exception to price their product below what everyone else in the world is paying? I can see them doing it in China and the US but I doubt Malaysia has the same clout.

Ohhh like that ahhh .... mana aci, must compare launch prices vs. launch prices lah ....

This is consitent with HK which is around RM2250 so expect the prices in Malaysia to be around the same price point. If the device is carried by carriers, you can also expect the price to be lowered but off course there's the contract and the monthly commitment.

The exclusive carrier here (Mobily) is selling it for SAR1699 (around RM1380) for a one year contract with a minimum commitment of SAR99 (80 ringgit) per month.
