It happens to be the opinion of several "experts" who write articles and review phones, not my opinion per se. Though I agree, due to the evidence of it all. The 920 simply has more and better features.

Doesnt seem like an expert any more than I am, to be honest, but thats beside the point.
Look, dont get mad and upset, Im just saying that this "expert" is flat out wrong, as evident by facts and the opinions of other "experts". Saying the 8X is the best windows phone 8 device is like saying that Saab makes the best cars. They just dont.
Just because he wrote it in an article, does not make it so.
In the article linked he even gets the MP of the 920 wrong.
He also doesnt even consider the Ativ S when doing this "ultimate smartphone guide", which is strange but not overly so. I can see that, as its a bit later in launch.
Here is his argument for why the 8X is SO much better than the Nokia that it cancels out wireless charging, nokia music, nokia camera apps, the pureview camera, the build quality, etcetera:
"i dont like that its big".
Thats it.
Wow, that sounds real scientific. Now THATS an opinion, and a ridicolous one at that.
Ill concede that the 8X has a better grip, it really does. However, the 920 is far from the icecube-slippery anvilweighted doomsdaydevice he seems to pawn it off as, as most users will attest.
The fact that he has some special way of holding a device that he feels is more comfortable with the 8X does not a good argument make.
If you use something for a while, you get into a habit. His habit clearly has evolved a grip that is inconsistent with the 920. Others will handle the phone differently and not have any issues with either phone, or have issue with the 8Xs body when it comes to handling.
So the argument is this:
All nokia drive, nokia music, the pureview camera, the bigger internal memory, the wireless charging, all the nokia exclusive camera extras
vs
"i hold my pinky just so, and i feel like i might drop the 920 under certain conditions, thus the 8x is the best WP8 device".
That doesnt hold up in any court.
PS: yes Im kinda bored, dont take it all so seriously, 8X is a nice phone and I do hope it sells well
