one things, smartphone market different from pc market....if you use android now, does not mean u will use forever and most users will change phone within 1-2 years some even fast....

regarding investment of apps/games, i heard ios7 some developer will charge again the app u have brought for ios7....mean the app u bought in ios6 and below cannot use in ios7, u need to buy again for the app which newer version for ios7....

is logic to do that....developers also need to makan and support u, cannot be u buy one app for rm3 support u forever. if they don't update, another competitor will makan their customer...if keep update and support, how to earn for living...

for games lagi fast...once u brought it and play for sometimes, sure u will never play it again...do u still play the games in pc that released 2002/2003?

Make lots of sense, camera phone deliver results and should never replace the DSLR for photo assignments in terms of sharpness and raw file post-processing for big size printing works.

We can't choose 1020 because of camera, because xperia z1 is better than 1020. if we have to decide 1020, we have to love the windows ecosystem first then only the camera. hmmmmmm.. now im stepping backward from 1020 and moving toward 925.

I've bought mine from mudah.my at about RM1,000 back in few months ago, the phone was still in it's pristine stage, no sign of any wear too I asked the owner why did he wanted to sell it off after 2 weeks of usage, he said he can't adapt WP8.   (but it has now been a minor scratch on the screen since I don't apply any SP since day 1, no big deal)



For price to change, like any other smartphones (except iPhone) will face price drop (every 3 months) from my experience.

Is it worth it for current WP8 owners to upgrade to 1020? Let's see, (in my opinions)

+ You have never own a Lumia device before.
+ You want to test the superiority of ZEISS lens
+ You're going to print the photos out.

again, the only thing why I would change for 1020 would be lossless crop zoom(limited) and better bokeh, that's it.

Sure it's cool to see all those 41mp resampled photos uploaded to social networks but to be honest, nobody really cares. (Unless you have a lot of Lumia friends)

@Weirdguy, 920 is a very capable shooter itself if:

+ On a budget
+ Likely to change phone every year

Get 1020 if,

+ Taking really decent photos is your priority.
+ Decides to replace PnS/Mirrorless/DSLR with a one hand operated camera.
+ Always have to help wife carry shopping bags during travel.
