Just asking, will QuadCore solve this time-consuming process problem?
I thought a dedicated graphic chip will play the role more vitally, no?

oh yeah, this 2499 is 32GB? Is there any pricing on 64GB?

Dedicated chip makes it hard to update the algorithms, and everyone seems to think it's the processing that's thiking time. Hasn't anyone thought about the time taken to write the large file to the storage?

2499 memang a bit overprice

if 2.1k with camera grip then i think it's reasonable
yes..from my point of view ..lag from saving picture and initializing the apps should be more on storage bandwidth and processor power (maybe it can overcome if they clock it to higher clock speed)

yup..windows 8 cannot support full hd screen n quad core ...need to wait until 8.1 

hopefully we can see better phone in next year 

808 also lag when taking full res mode, about 1s++
Still acceptable, but many normal users may not able to accept or understand the reason.

Bila boss ? October ka ?

Ugh, while im not aiming for 1020, the price actually crush my hope of seeing more lumia in the market...

why? I find Sanyo AA battery is good though.

finish exam, come out check the pricing, 
now wait price drop. well, at least I'm in a rush to change my old nokia. why won't my nokia just die on me?? 

i think the phalet sound more attracting now after see 1020 price.
vomit blood even with out grip 2.2k still pain to own. stupid elop *@?!&?@*!?@$€¥

i think i need consider 920 better

Lol, the funniest quote of the day.
Adui, how could it leaked oh?
I mean kettle is a so low-tech/common and what lagi compare to Battery technology

If the jack up the price jus to give discount later, theyre really messing up with thier loyal customer.
Such high price surely will deter first timer, just not the price for experimental people.

Do you know where i can get the 925 at 16% off>?

christmas 25%

the price is normally price skyrocket, coz thats how every new phone by nokia price at, just wait after a month or two n drop like crazy.

besides, GDR3 only for phablet or all nokia w8 phone??

because it say GDR3 for quad core, afraid it may not support to 1020. juz like lumia 800, cant update to w8.0.

If I'm not mistaken the promise from MS was that all phones will get updates 2 years from it's original shipping date.

Thanks for the clear and detail info. Yes, if already make decision to purchase, don't look back and just enjoy your device. Whatever device will eventually drop price, if already decided to purchase and need to get it immediately then don't look back. If can wait, then just wait until "cannot wait" ahahaha.

For this 1020, I can only say:
The main target should be the predecessor, the Nokia 808 PureView Customers. They should grab these customers so that they STAY with Nokia. These customers are not WP users, does Nokia-Microsoft want the customer's to TRY and switch to Lumia series PureView?
If these customers somehow jump to another platform, Nokia just lost their customer base,... just like how they did when they switch to WP and looses a lot of their Symbian Customers (that's also one major reason why Samseng become successful; majority of their customers are from Nokia)
Now is the time they need to grab more customers into their Lumia series, in terms of Camera features, the Z1 is marketing it and the Galaxy S4 Zoom (of course this is bulky); If the customers didn't choose Lumia because of the price, Nokia-Microsoft just lost potential customers again.

Another important factor is, for those people who just 'switch' platform, say from Symbian, iOS, BB, etc. Imagine if the chosen the Android alternative because of 1020 pricing. Once they 'started' the new platform, they setup their 'accounts', they start to invest/downloads their apps and customize their Androids.
It's even harder for them to switch to WP next time, especially for those who started investing into apps/games; switching platform means their purchases all goes to waste because they have to 'start over' at WP platform.
I wonder if Nokia-Microsoft realizes this important criteria? I inform Nokia's staff before about this importance since WP7, but not sure if it reaches which level.

I'm planning to do that - Currently On Strike until I cannot tahan or until I see reasonable price drop.

You? Getting one on Pre-Order/Nokia Store on 27/09?
