This is not a full on review but V3 have had a bit of time with the Nokia Lumia 920 and have decided to share their experiences.

  • The screen is apparently great, looking much better than the HTC One X. According to Android forums/blogs, One X’s screen is batter than the SGS III’s.
  • Smoother to navigate than HTC One X, faster at loading web pages
  • Didn’t test camera but we know it eats the others already in the preliminary tests.
  • Loving the curved display. Feels more comfortable.

Overall our opening impressions of Nokia’s Lumia 920 are incredibly positive. Even though the device looks incredibly similar to the Lumia 900, even in the short time we had the device, it became increasingly clear that the 920 is a radically different handset, featuring greatly improved tech and software.

      I was going to have another rant…

      Then I read your comment and thought, yeah, that’s about all that needs to be said at this point.

      LOL.

    too slow! release already! I can’t upgrade for another year! but I like my N9 anyway! would love to see this sell well though as I want this to bring back those Apple fans who must be gutted with the ip5! what a let down :)

  3. Tech says:

    i realy want Nokia Lumia 920 Right Now LOL :p

  4. samstacle says:

    nokia power ! if this Lumia 920 don’t outsells the iJoke 5, then Nokia is in deep trouble. i bet this will :D

    • Bloob says:

      It won’t outsell it, Apple has so much mindshare it’s ridiculous. 920 should sell pretty well though.

    • I don’t think the Lumia 920 will outsell the iPhone 5, but it will close the gap.
      It does appear that Apple have run out of ideas, but they have a huge following of fans. I can see it starting to slide.

  5. yoyo says:

    I have bought the white N9 just 3 months ago for €500,-. But believe me; if this phone would have Harmatten on top of it I would instantly pay €600 to get it. It is a shame…

  6. kennibal says:

    Nokia what are you waiting for??!!! Release that Kraken!!! :P

  7. Carbontubby says:

    Dammit! Apple can release the barely upgraded iPhone 5 and have it ready for the iHorde just 3 weeks after announcing it, but Nokia announce a stunner of a device without giving a timeframe.

    People already want the Lumia 920, fake OIS video or otherwise, and it’s made the usual Apple keynote look totally humdrum. For the first time since forever, people are talking about a Nokia device being better than an iPhone… so release the damn thing!

    • dss says:

      I don’t think, they realize how many sales they miss by doing what they are doing… it used to work in the 90′s when they had no competition, not anymore..

  8. Ofentse says:

    Yeah iPhone 5 will outsell all of them but Lumia 920 will sell super good. HTC is a joke.

  9. pig_benis says:

    samsung ativ too is a joke

  10. kelonh says:

    IPhone 5 is enhancement to iPhone 4s. Lumia 920 is new phone.

  11. Sanprime says:

    The 920 will make some kind of record. . . Apple, get ready to face the king’s return. . .

  12. Jammy says:

    Nokia Please announce the launch date and price of Lumia 920 in India fast……….. And please don’t price it ridiculously like Lumia 900, which you launched with such a ridiculous price of 571$(rs.32000) that it became kind of DOA.

  13. Sanprime says:

    Let nokia release the L920 whenever they want. . . Once i buy it i’ll show it off in front of my friends who are ifans and fandroids and i would like to see the look on their face. . . Im waiting for that day. . . Let the ifans buy the icraps and the fandroids buy the samdungs. . . Im sure they’ll definitely think “I SHOULD HAVE WAITED” once they see the L920 in action.

    • Grendell says:

      Well, what more can you expect from people who spell apple with an “i”.

      • Grendell says:

        The good thing is the 920 will herald a palpable upshift in the battle for smart phone domination. I can see now how windows phone can hit top 2 – 3 provided they can keep this momentum and clean up their release events. Neither Apple or Sammy will take this lying down. And I can almost hear the big guns ranging for the next release. Either way, it’ll be a happy time to be a smart phone buyer.

  14. Emedi says:

    1. They didn’t say the screen was ‘much’ better.
    2. They said that the performance was equal to One X.

    It’s a nice phone, why twist facts?
