I ordered a white one already back on 7th December. I want the wireless charging stand but it seems it's going to be hella expensive. Making your table 'charge' your phone is also a pretty neat trick but i think my table is a bit too thick to try this.

Nokia's Lumia 920 has high demand and their stocks are actually rising. LG = Lackluster Garbage. If the Nexus was by HTC or Samsung i'd have more peace of mind, but LG? When it comes to smartphones, hell no. Refrigerators, maybe. Nexus also have glass backing and i dont want an iPhone style drop/knock and break. And oh, Nexus 4 is cheap because it only has 8 or 16Gb (depending on your choice) and non-expandable storage, not to mention poor camera.

On dual core VS quad core, numbers are not everything, it's all about efficiency. If you compare HTC One X's Tegra 3 quad core VS HTC One S's Snapdragon duo core, the snapdragon duo core actually has higher benchmarks and speed than the Tegra 3 quad core. And, not to mention windows phone is a lot lighter than android as an OS.

I do admit the Nexus 4 is beautiful, but i have heard some Nexus 4 cracked just because of sudden temperature change, like, if u leave your phone in the car and maybe take it into an aircond room or place it on a cold table, sudden temperature change can crack the glass, not necessarily drops.

LG's problem is more to software, the Optimus 2X was dreadful... Since nexus is running vannila android, less likely to have software issues but i still doubt them as a brand. It is selling so well in the USA because they buy it from google store for just USD $300, half the price we pay for one here.

Im kinda bothered whether nokia stores (or any phone shops) will sell hard cases for the Lumia 920 on launch day. Since it is a new model i doubt any random phone shops do have stuff like hard cases. I want a quality one, not the pasar malam 10 bucks one lol. Havent seen any sold in local online shops yet, I have no credit card for foreign website purchase (and given christmas period, shipping might take rather long).

Would love something like this, carbon fibre texture for good grip (since Lumia 920 is glossy) but since accessories might be limited so i cant be picky i guess.

Maxis not even planning to offer the phone i suspect. I wanna stick to Maxis cuz they will be te first to start offering 4G LTE some time next year. Mos likely i will sign up a text more plan there, combine with 1Gb data and get a free galaxy mini but use the postpaid plan on my Lumia 920.

WPcentral and star paper (tech) already announced the launching is on 21st Dec. Friday. If newspaper already mentioned it i dont think there will be any changes. Most General retail stores dont know anything. You can go to any shopping mall and see a Nokia outlet there, but they are not actual Nokia Stores. Nokia stores usually have working models of all their phones on display which you try on. In penang, only the Gurney Plaza have a Nokia store, other famous malls dont have any.

Phonearena, famous for kissing Apple's @$$, actually rated the Lumia 920 9 out of 10 in their review, and was included in their best 5 phones of the year (though they still put the iPhone 5 higher rank than Lumia).

Really wish to get my phone tomorrow... Windows app marketplace is actually doing an app sale, many apps and games discounted, get them by 31st Dec before they revert back to normal price.

Im also looking for this, Nilkin red one. Where did you buy it? Lelong dun have yet, do you know any sellers here in lowyat selling it?

Recharge via USB to a computer is slow, but using AC power it takes roughly 2 - 2.5 hrs for me.
On battery life i didnt do much tests, for my case, full battery this morning, only NFC on, Wifi only used 2 hrs so far today (download apps) but when i dont use i turn it off. Music 4+ hrs, and i still have 75% battery left by 5pm. When on wifi it's only slightly warm. Im not on data plan (prepaid), roaming is off, so i guess that has something to do with battery life. But, i did plug in the phone to my laptop to transfer some stuff so this doesnt reflect the actual battery usage.

Goddamnit Microsoft needs to do something about the app store... ==; i think they should just make all the games, at least, available to all stores in all countries, but different countries will have their own unique utility apps that is unavailable to others (such as My Distress only for Malaysians)...
Even i already have a XBox account I havent bought any Xbox game yet, not a heavy gamer on a phone.

Ah, thanks. Damn, how come i didnt notice it.

When i got it from Gurney on Friday they say dun have screen protector yet.. =( Only 820 got...
Regarding scratches, if u dun put keys with your phone in 1 pocket should be no problem; the gloss back and the center aluminium piece of the camera are more prone to scratches than the screen itself.

Added on December 23, 2012, 2:30 pmDont bother to use them, i never use any earphones bundled with any phones. Most of them are average at best. Get one from a reputable brand like Audi Technica, Sennheiser, AKG, etc. I have 3 sennheiser headphones myself.

Haiz, later i go jusco see if they have the SP... i want the gloss one

For scratches, applies to every phone, not just this Lumia 920. As for the screen 920 is a bit more prone to damage because it is heavy - if it lands at the wrong angle when u drop it it might crack, provided you are unlucky enough. No idea on how frequent the screen cracks are on the 920, but i saw my friend dropping his 900 so many times out of carelessness and it survived - of course there are scratches t the corners.

Does anyone's Lumia here have those fancy zitron/avaxx and SKMM stickers defacing the rear? =.=; I really hate the bling bling stickers but cannot peel off...

Kinda regret getting white after i saw the red one look so nice. Because, initially i wanted the yellow, but it looked 'uglier' (no offense to the owners) than the promo pics. I thought it is rich banana yellow but the yellow isnt that kind of yellow, slightly on the light side, a bit of fluorescent yellow. So i decided to play safe since promo pics may not match real products, going for white instead of colors. But given a white phone will look good with any any good color cases on it, i guess im fine with it. >.<;

Mine senget one, worse, beside the aluminium strip ==;
I would have been fine with it if it is at the bottom section, so much empty space there.

Have been using mine since Friday, no reboots at all yet; I installed like 15 apps and games, including FB, Whatsapp and skype (just in case, since i dun use WA and Skype so far, so, i didnt set them up yet). Windows 8 Portico update is supposed to rectify this problem but M'sia hasnt got it yet.

Spelling check? It works well, at least for english. Im typing a lot faster overall compared to my previous phone.

My phone's keyboard has english, BM and chinese in word recommendation, can switch it on spot while typing. There's a ENG button beside the emoticon button, tap on it to change language.

So far i havent found any way to switch it off; maybe have to check the settings section, but for my case it didnt try to correct my short forms by itself, it only have the red underline for words with 'wrong spelling' and will only load suggestions if i tap on the word underlined.
