Good luck with your 8x when they stop supporting your phone a week after you bought it (unless you like the Android version of support (they release another phone).
You obviously do not / have not owned a Trophy. The support has been excellent... always in the first couple phones to get new updates like Mango.
I have to agree that the design of the 8x really appeals more to me than the 920. I prefer my screens to be of manageable size (not huge), and while it's true that it is almost as thick as the 920 at it's thickest point, people need to remember that it's more about volume than the thickest point. When you slide it into your pocket it will be a much easier fit, because the tapered edges reduce the circumference of the phone. It really is a big deal.
Unfortunately, I really wish it had 32GB, and the Nokia exclusive apps really call to me. Mainly Drive+ and the other mapping related apps... and of course City Lens! I'm not too fussed about OIS, but low light and capture speed are very important to me. I have not been able to find anyone with a review that actually shows how fast the 8x takes photos... if it's faster than the 920 due to the processor that will actually hold a lot of weight with me.
However, as has been mentioned by others, Nokia pretty much made my choice for me by not managing to get it on Verizon. I would love to know where the blame lies for this... it's just a silly situation. So effectively I only have one choice, and it is not Nokia. I'm just glad the 8x turned out as well as it did.
