Lumia 920 won many awards already, but the fandroids knows nothing one... Many people curious after see i buy Lumia 920, an dthe first thing 90% of them ask "what is screen size ah?". That means 4.5, 4.7 and 4.8 probably is of not much difference, because those 4.7, 4.8 inch screen ones are simply because the phone is longer; S3's width in dimensions are the same as 920... Or to be more exact, only 0.1mm difference. For me i remember the screen size of almost every flagship phones. Those who knows it still tell me "but cannot get cracked apps..." instead of "no instagram".

On an unrelated note, Galaxy S4 announced liao.
The good news: It's BORING. Just another spec bump

Bad news for u - I expect the next Lumia, maybe named Lumia 930 or 950 PureView to have similar design again - and yes, bezels trimmed, but im sure Nokia will come up with more innovations; heard they are working on putting solar cells into the screen and putting hydrophobic nano coating for waterproof. S4's design is another repeat just like iPhone repeating itself (but i still complain because design is lousy), but the main issue isnt the design, but many of the new features are all gimmicks that are not really practical.

It's only a quad core processor, but has 8 cores - 4 + 4, different architecture; 4 low powered cores and 4 high powered ones. They phone will switch around what cores to use depending on what task - light or heavy, and only up to 4 cores will run. You want to root it with custom rom and make it run all 8 cores also can, as long u dont mind a 2 hour battery life and the phone potentially turning to a microwave oven. I suspect it doesnt have LTE? Because US version use Snapdragon 600 just for the sake of the LTE chip on board.

Our core i5 and i7 processors have more extra cores but they are not used most of the time as well.

Typical shop assistants, i feel like slapping them sometimes... They treat us consumers like idiots when some of us really do our research and if i prefer this model, that is my problem. Or is Samsung paying u if u sell their phones more? Im actually surprised they recommend Blackberry Z10 over Lumia 920. If im not a businessman i see no reasons to get BB Z10 which is inferior to L920 in hardware (sorry, if anyone here is a BB fan). Not to mention BB OS lacks even more apps than windows phone.

High 5. I also have no problems, no reboots, got it back in December. The display settings will be unlocked in Portico.

All it took for me to learn about 90% of windows phone 8 is to watch engadget's video on WP8 review last time before i buy L920. In contrast, some newer version of android have features that i either dont realise or dunno how to use; Android a lot more complex...

I turn off speed reminders, since im a speed demon lol; 110kmh is too slow for me. Driving slow is like wasting time to me. My phone did still warn me when i went too high though, 170k...

I have heard this before, but not in all devices, which is weird; some cases are due to portico update, not hardware issue

LOOOL i didnt even notice the sensor holes difference; i only noticed the bottom bezel, or the screen and the center button's distance is lesser.

Oh, wait, i think Apple will also sue Samsung for spelling the 4S backwards,

I see new updates here new updates there in online articles, but so far i got very few only, those by Nokia like Display + Touch... Yea, Nokia does a good job with upfates, but Nokia Malaysia eill most likely tell you to wait 3 months more with a troll smile...

Only SMS and mail cannot custom; im using custom sound for alarm - my own songs. Same rule apply as ringtone - 30secs length at 1MB max - the tracks in the ringtone folder will appear alongside those already included when u want to change tone for alarm.

Huh? Mine detected it almost immediately with QR code scanner.
Seems like i only get to see 'share' button, that means mine are all up to date (but i dun have portico yet)?

"and that will wipe all ur data...so need to backup ur data before update..."

That is the problem My free Sonic CD will be GONE
And, my apps are all purchased over different regions, some i get from US store, some from Malaysia one (That maybank app, MyDistress, and a few more only for us Malaysians). Getting all the apps back is another hassle - every time i change region i have to restart the phone.

I guess i would rather wait for OTA update; later have to waste time redownload Mirror's Edge, Asphalt 7, etc... big files. Dont even know if my game progress will be gone.

Walao, i try turn on data the whole day, just to test the battery life and battery drain like a boss... Still enuf to last a day though. Bluetooth and NFC is also on though; lazy to plug cable when i do small file transfers.

So hardcore

Even in online sites like Engadget, gsmarena and Phonearena, the hardcore android fagg0ts are becoming worse than iFans... They harass anyone who doesnt buy Android. gsmarena is even more epic fail, want to bash people but people cant even understand the croken english...

Lumias are widely used in Europe and Russia, that's what my friend studying there said. The L920, not so much yet. 5 out of 10 budget and midrange phones are Lumia there - because of carriers. Most people who sig up a plan to get a free phone there, usually Lumias are being offered. In Malaysia i still have people asking me "Huh? Lumia runs Windows ah?" Imagine how much i can make them go "WTF?" by telling them it runs Windows 8 (without the word 'phone' ). These ppl with no knowledge thinks it is as powerful as the desktop version, only lesser apps.

It is, in Russia especially. 610, 710, 800 (cheap by now) and now 620 is common.


In UK and USA most people are tied to carriers; in USA, unlocking a carrier-locked phone can be illegal. No way, i prefer paying higher for a phone than paying only 200 bucks with no freedom for 2 years.

It is super easy to me IF my apps wont be gone; damn headache is apps gone, i have to go m'sia, USA and s'pore regions to get back my apps one by one; some games file size damn big, and my free Sonic CD will be gone.

Ya, thats true. My game progresses... and i mind app reinstall because of the hassle - have to restart the phone everytime i change region... and have to repeat that 3 times just to reinstall the shitload of apps i have...

Asphalt 7 where can fast fast finish ah, yes, can, but have to spend $$ like a boss to proceed faster by levelling up and gaining stars, freemium style. No thx.
