For nokia to release this month, is to directly compete with iphone 5 which confirmed to be launching in mid-Dec.

January 2013 onwards wud b a more likely and logical expectation imo.

Which nokia.store is.selling d.charging plate? Need a red one to march my red 920.

Galaxy S3? Done it. Iphone? Done that.

Lumia 920? Lovin' this

I got this not so much coz its WP8 but coz this version by Nokia has better build, body, character, exclusive apps and great hardware. Can't say the same for both my S3 and Iphone4.

Playing with it for a week or so, here's what i can gather:
1. Apps are more integrated. Good example is People App combines the best of whatsapp, social networking sites, emails, and phone numbers into one convenient place.

2. Nokia apps are awesome. Together with Office, its Drive and Maps are 2nd to none and even has voice navigation no less. All free! The other stuff like cinemagraph and city lens are great to have too. AFAIK, no one else in the market has this kind of bundle.

3. Nokia Music not available in Malaysia, but I understand previous nokia phones sold here have it, so just a matter of time? My UK set removes all features once detected I'm in msia, so limited to own music you upload into it. With this app fully enabled, the 920 is da bomb.

4. Nokia Pureview is not bad, but its not to say damn good. I understand a software update is coming to rectify this issue mainly for daylight shots. Low light and image stabilization capability is the best of best.

5. My Android S3 lags quite often even after upgraded to JellyBean. 920 smooth.

6. Windows apps still lacking in quality and quantity for sure but otherwise the 920 is more than functional enough for most people's needs!

7. 920 got character I reckon. Its the color options and build quality that mostly enticed me. Iphone has very outdated design now.

8. Battery life on S3 now is very bad. Dunno, but last time my korean LG batteries got pregnant by itself. So its probably due for change.

The thing to take away is that I'd prefer a great phone that serves its purpose at doing things great. Everything else that could be done better in a tablet (I have galaxy 7.7, ipad mini and ipad2) or laptop should stay that way. Its a smartphone after all and to make it a be all and end all for everything may not be practical or desirable.
After all, how much of the stuff in the phone do we actually fully utilize anyway.

It takes elements of other social apps like facebook, hotmail and whatsapp, and combines it together with your phonebook into one seamless profile.

To answer your prev question, there is one feature of People hub that requires another WP8 to communicate, which is the Rooms/Group section. Like whatsapp but built specifically for windows 8 phone users only.

Finally managed to update to portico. Will check out the so called improvements later.

Nope. Nokia care.

Let me re-phrase that.. its Nokia Care Suite for PC

Few items I noticed:
1. Mobile network now shows MY MAXIS instead of 50212 (for UK sets)
2. New setting - WIFI keep on after lock
3. New setting - increased readability in sunlight
4. New setting - Brightness auto dim with Battery Saver
5. People app functions better.. at least can see comments when viewing photos.
6. 4G option now selectable. Previously limited to 2G and 3G

Will test camera in daylight and battery tomm and see if any diff.

Yep.

Battery life looks very promising even after surfing, FB, taking and editing photos.

Camera....looks like still need to use creative studio to enhance d photos but not so soft anymore.

Brightness issue not noticeable. It's fixable anyway.

No random restarts so far.

I'm using Belgium ROM on my UK set and I got 4g option now. Stock UK ROM limited to 2g n 3g.

Yep

Yes and CNN too. But all speculation. If din update...do this

Switch off nfc
Auto brightness on
High sensitivity off
Block nokia drive in background.
Battery saver on

Mainly target at nokia firmware.
