Very good phone.
Would have been mine, instead of the S3, if released in Q1-Q2 or Q3 AND if it had android.

I like SIII too, and the openness of Android, but I just grew up with Nokia and I've been a loyal fan since 3310 ![smitten](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ebf69f50.gif)

I grew up with Nokia too, i was even a nokiastan back in 2009 with my 5800 Xpress Music.
But when the S1 came out, couldn't resist. Android + 4 inch screen super amoled >>>> life, and now sammy always, in my opinion, make the best phones.

What are the odds of getting one of these without a contract? I know that they're $450 without one but I read that a lot of AT&T stores aren't selling them without contracts ![Bibliotheque](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/biblio_zps23dff242.gif) and I really want it in cyan so I'm not going to buy it unlocked.
Also Abel (idk if that's your actual name) can you post a pic of the entire charging pad w/ the cord? Does it plug into a wall or USB port?

The charging pad is the cutest thing ever. It's basically a microUSB wire with a snap on adapter if you want to charge through an outlet. So you can charge it two ways
The 920 is amazing because it can also be used as a USB mass storage device, meaning you can just drag and drop files to the phone without a need for an app.

Okay so if WP8 has WhatsApp, I don't need to worry about not having iMessage for when I'm not using my iPhone 5. I can't wait to get this ![Duca](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/duca_zps480ab501.gif) it's so pretty.

Yes it does: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/st...c-054cf4569a79 But according to some reviews, they need some updating. But eventually it will come. I've had 2-5 of my apps update in the past 2 days.

Nokia reportedly preparing Lumia 920 camera software update
Quote:
Nokia's biggest selling point for the Lumia 920 is the PureView capabilities of its rear camera. While the camera excels at low-light and image stabilization, a number of users have complained that daylight photos have resulted in blurry images. Engadget reports that Nokia has been tweaking its camera software for the 920 and plans to address some of the issues in an update shortly.
A set of sample shots show some improvements with the Lumia 920 camera that Engadget claims will be delivered as part of an update that's scheduled this month. Microsoft recently started pushing a Windows Phone 8 OS update to HTC 8X devices to improve random reboots and add features such as always on Wi-Fi. Nokia's update will include these features alongside the camera improvements to improve things for Lumia 920 owners this holiday season.

From: The Verge
OMG MY PRAYERS have been answered! I was so disappointed because the daylight photos I've been taking were blurry, and I blamed the shutter speed for it.
So it turns out it's a software bug! Oh my god! ![weeps](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRLSmilies/52b0f867.gif) I'm in love with Nokia right now! ![weeps](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRLSmilies/52b0f867.gif)

Nokia CEO says 'we are planning a lot of exciting things with Verizon'
Quote:
When Nokia announced the Lumia 920 was to be an AT&T exclusive back in October, the move confused many. Although other carriers were handed variants of the Lumia 820 — the 822 on Verizon and the 810 on T-Mobile — only AT&T customers would be able to get their hands on a truly compelling, flagship Windows Phone 8 device from Nokia. Conversely, both Verizon and AT&T users can purchase HTC's flagship Windows Phone 8X handset. According to Nokia CEO Stephen Elop, that could change soon. Speaking with CNET, Elop said that he is pleased that Nokia has restarted its "relationship with Verizon," adding that the Finnish manufacturer is "planning a lot of exciting things with Verizon as well."
When pressed by CNET as to whether that meant a flagship device was on its way to America's largest carrier, Elop coyly repeated "we are planning a lot of exciting things with Verizon as well." The full interview is an interesting read for any Nokia fan, as Elop discusses the company's current position in the market, its philosophy moving forward, and its recent move into the iOS maps field.

Long queues in China for the Nokia Lumia 920, sells out in two hours
Source: WPCentral
Quote:
Good news has come out of China yet again for Nokia. Photos of a crowd gathering inside and around the Nokia Shangai store in the country has been published online that reveal a high interest in the latest flagship Windows Phone. As well as visual popularity with high numbers turning out, the handset also sold out in just two hours, according to IThome.
Nokia previously experienced a positive reception with Chinese consumers with the Lumia 800 overtaking the iPhone in marketshare. The Lumia 920 is a more powerful Windows Phone with a number of highlighted features that are not currently sported by competing hardware. The photos of interest shown aren't evidence of high sales in the country, so we're eager for sales figures to be revealed.
As mentioned above, stock has sold out in a reported two hours. As was the case in other markets, only a limited supply of Lumia 920s were most likely received by the store, which will dampen down the news slightly - but any 'sold out' report is something to cheer about while the platform remains in the slow stages of brand development.
Check out crowd numbers below, where those who were queueing up received treats from Nokia, including both snacks and bottled drink.
We recently took a look at a published Kantar report that detailed changes in marketshare for Windows Phone across a number of markets. China was included, with almost 3% being held by Microsoft in November this year. This was before Windows Phone 8 was properly launched with the announced hardware from supporting OEM partners.
We'll be interested to learn just how successful Nokia will be in China, which is arguably an important market for the company to tackle. The Lumia 920 was released on China Mobile a few weeks ago, which was joined by the Lumia 820 and Lumia 620.
