butterfly farm^^

point and shoot dont expect  it give u "godlike" photo 

Some night test shot with manual control without post-processing (ISO100, 1/2s, shutter delay, -3EV)



Auto mode handheld in car with windows closed (no choice its raining  )

glad it was helpful to you..but do explore and experiment with the manual shutter speed for start, a killer feature (for a smartphone) to do all kinda cool photography stuffs with your 1020 

i'm also a heavy google users, activesync works fine so far via outlook account.
but if photography is not your primary use or priority, i think it is better to get an Android like the upcoming Nexus 5. your google apps experience will not be as good with WP (eg. missing Google Analytics app, etc)

get 1020 if you treasure hires photos for your library and wanted to tryout a new OS, fatigue with years of  iOS/Android like me 

I am previously an iOS user and I was bored also with the same OS.
I was using iPhone 4 before upgrading to 920.
The announcement of iPhone 5 was super disappointing and I was like.. What phone should I get next....
Then I tested Android when the first Nexus 7 comes out, I don't really like it that much..sorry.
Ecosystem and all is good as iOS, but the lagginess and bloating in a long run is a big turn off for me.
Then I was like maybe Samsung S4 but damn.. Apple to Samsung? You got to be kidding me.
Still Android and yes lagginess even on Jellybean.. WP never came my mind until I know that 920 camera is awesome.
The smothness and no lag at all of the OS is great and apps was a concern for me, but all the essential apps is already there, all that I need except no instagram, so I just jump to WP. Quite satisfied and glad I made the jump.

Those who don't like Android and love iOS should make the jump, but those who love Android and hate iOS, i'm not so sure haha. Plus if Google services is that important to you might wanna check Microsoft offering they have substitute for each google service like Drive=Skydrive, Outlook=Gmail, Skype=Google Talk, Nokia or Bing Map=Google Map and others.

Whatsapp is already available in WP for a long time. As for FB chat, WP has intergrated FB chat which works together with SMS on WP. Chat are instant and you can set status online or offline. You can also check notifications, status update and check in in WP on Fb without downloading FB app. Just some of my opinions
