Hi all ,
I wanted to share my experience how I purchased 820.
I wanted to upgrade my old 5800 xpress music phone , so i started looking for a decent phone.I am familiar with iOS because of iPad 3rd gen.So , initially , I wanted to get an iPhone 5 or 4S but i felt not to go down that road.Searched for many devices , Then my focus shifted towards Galaxy Note 2 until the last day but then I came across the news of 920 launch in my city.So , I went to a Nokia store but they informed me that 920s arrive in the evening and another store (not Nokia priority) said same thing.
On the same day evening , I went to the Nokia store with money equivalent to get an 920 (Unlocked)(I was so confident that 920 would impress me) , When i entered the store , They showed me 820 first and i was blown away by the size and colors popping up (Phone color is black + AMOLED blacks looked way too good at that time)I wasn't focusing much of thoughts on 820 because i was eager to see 920.Then after 2-3 minutes , They showed me 920 .It looked washed out and felt "dull" especially after seeing deep blacks on 820.I immediately wanted to go for an 820 but screen resolution held me back because being a 3rd gen iPad user , I know how good these high ppi displays are.So I used the 820 for some more time by paying extra attention to see if i can bear the low ppi but to my surprise , I really didn't find display to be pixelated at all.Display felt sharp most of the times.rarely found it to be less sharp.
Primary reason why i went to 820 is that , back in 2011 , I used S2 for a single day (Dad asked me to set his S2 and install all necessary stuff , S2 also had AMOLED screen ) and That is when , I felt that 4.3 inch is a perfect size.Due to big size of 920 , I wanted 820 even more , especially 4.3 inch form factor.820 also has replaceable shells , expandable storage and removable battery and price difference between 820 and 920 is $200 (unlocked) , I finally purchased a red one (even 5800 is a red one )
I read some threads , where some users said they went to 820 instead of 920 and 8X as well, I am just wondering if there are more users like that and also what made u go for 820 over 920 or Ativ or 8X ?
