For some reason Windows Phone fans are more fans of Nokia than the OS itself (believe me I've read posts of people wishing failure on HTC and Samsung). When the first 8X reviews came out they were very positive but most reactions were of the "that's nice but the 920 will blow it out of the water" type.
Now some 920 reviews are out and they're also fairly positive but the general feeling I get from tech bloggers is that the 8X is overall the better phone.
Obviously from a WP ****** this is seen as a will to see Nokia/MS/WP fail but really, this is the genuine feeling I get from these people who are more in the know than us (how many of us have used these phones?).
Recently I've seen even MS evangelists expressing that feeling too: Tom Warren, Matt Miller, MJ Foley, Paul Thurrott, even our own Jay Benett called the 920 "kind of a brick" so there is definitely some truth to that.
Sure, the wireless charging and screen are nice to have but not so much that you couldn't live with the 8X. Pureview only blows away the competition in low light but is on par in other conditions so there again you could live with the 8X.
I'm curious to read Daniel's reviews because camera seems so important to him I wonder how important a factor this will be in his conclusions.
So what are your thoughts? Do you feel the 8X is really the better phone regardless of what you're actually buying (I'll probably go with the 920 for storage alone)?
