I would choose Nokia again in the future but the Lumia 920? **** no. Already got burned twice, never again.

Well thankfully I'm not stuck with TouchWiz, I use Nova Launcher which looks pretty amazing and I don't have to be rooted for it. I have the 4G international version of the S3 which comes with a quad core processor and 2gb of RAM which is twice what I had with the lumia. No lagging whatsoever...

Well I haven't visited this thread in over 2 weeks. That's mainly because I've been hanging around Android Central. Yes, I'm sad to say that after 13 years of using no other phone brand except Nokia, I've finally jumped ship and switched to a 4G Samsung Galaxy S3. I just couldn't justify sinking...

You can't.

Then you need to focus your thoughts on a notification center. There's enough of us asking for it and Microsoft has already admitted that they had planned on including a notification center for WP8 but they ran out of time before release, so I believe it's coming. Microsoft admits it 'ran out...

30% to 50% in an hour is way over the top. I drain mine *upto* 20% an hour watching videos and even I think it's poor performance. If you haven't let your battery completely discharge yet, I'd say try that. I've read up about it and a lot of sources say completely discharging lithium-based...

If you can't swipe smoothly and the glass is "catching" on your hands, like it's too grippy, that usually means both the phone and your hands are too "sterilized". Human skin produces a natural oil that makes it smooth to the touch, which helps with "gliding" through smooth surfaces when...

I don't quite understand what you're wanting. It's a "lock" screen meaning it's a brief splash screen when the phone is locked (as in not in use). The notifications available on the lock screen are very minimal (off the top of my head it's just weather / battery status in addition to normal...

From my experience it's much more oleophobic than the previous Lumia 900/800. Just swipe it across your shirt and you'll see the smudges go away instantly. If it's really smudgey it might've built up over time, I'd try a little bit of windex using a microfiber cloth to clean it up and it should...

<=== My first 920 is right there on my avatar (white) My second 920 is pictured here (yellow) ===> http://forums.windowscentral.com/windows-phone-8/201935-18.htm People have better things to do than troll competing platform forums.

I say start transitioning yourself to 2-handed operation. Every "big" phone has some sort of similar problem nowadays. I for one absolutely hate the lock button placement on the iPhone 5 where it's right up the top of the device. I have to stretch my index finger just to reach it, so I just use...

Sideswiping is the main way of navigating inside the Metro UI. Any apps following the Metro design language will also be utilizing side swipes as the main means of navigation. Almost every element of the phone also has additional options hidden under long presses. For example in your People hub...

I can see where you're coming from if you've just switched to Nokia. Newer users will be more forgiving of the superficial defects, I mean really, what's a little creak and squeek on a plastic phone, it's to be expected of any manufacturer. But not so for Nokia, most of us long-time fans have...

I can't say for certain since I stuck with a Blue/Red theme. The brighter colours match better. If you want a better idea check out this thread: http://forums.windowscentral.com/windows-phone-8/201935-18.htm

Would you be able to provide pictures of that? I'm very interested to see what the shiny spots look like. I also read someone talk about them but I couldn't imagine it in my head. I used a matte cyan 900 for a month, unprotected and was fairly rough with it but the matte never had any signs of...
