So I decided to give the Lumia 920 a try instead of upgrading to the iphone 5. The 19.99 deal amazon had running with their 30 day return policy, what the heck! I did a little homework before I made the switch to see what apps they have and/or suitable alternatives and figured I should be alright.
Pros:
The modern UI is what I believe the future of mobile will look like, MS hit a home run with live tiles, sooner or later Apple & Android will have to implement something similar.
The design of the black nokia is sexy as **** and blows away the black iphone 5 imho.
Nokia and MS stock apps are gorgeous and pleasant to use.
Camera is great especially taking videos.
Love the ability to customize the way I want
Cons:
Mail just sucks, this was a surprise. No alternatives
The twitter apps pale is comparison to whats available on ios.
I knew Flipboard wasn't available, but was told a good alternative is Weave. Unfortunately this isn't the case for me.
I use Readability a lot and could not find a good alternative. There's an app called read it later, but it doesn't have the option to change from the black back round, so I don't even bother with it.
So that's it for now, I really wanted to like this device and make the transition away from ios, but in every situation while i'm in my house I just reach for my iPad. My Lumia just sits there and gets very little use if I have my iPad nearby. Still not sure if i'm going to return it or not.
