You can't make me go vagrantwade. Also I don't see how is my opinion that.
1-Nokia fake the 920 videos
2-Nokia fake the 920 pictures
3-Carrier exclusivity
4-This complete mess of a launch. (more fault of WP8 in general actually)
5-The camera not living up to the hype. (for the third time)
Also I'm getting the Nexus because it offers the best value, I was going to get a 8S but I had to be a moron to not get something better for the same price.
Not to be "fanboyish", but let us break this down.
1- Oh, so that commercial where the iPhone is perfectly scaling and rotating a map of a city (with 3d buildings no less!) is a perfect representation of the maps application for iOS 6? All commercials use "simulated images" on the phone screens because of glare and obvious filming issues, guess those are fake too.
Of course, we are also ignoring the fact that the video recording performance is probably the best out there on a mobile device. We have real world videos confirming this.
2- Seems to me like all the night pictures are an accurate reflection of the phone's capabilities. I'd like some links and proof that this is the case AND that they turned out to be a gross misinterpretation of the camera's abilities.
3- Sorry, but that's just how it goes down in the mobile industry. I remember when people cried about the iPhone only being on AT&T. Of course, HTC, Motorola, Samsung and Sony have never done anything like this before. Shame on Nokia.
4- I couldn't possibly care less about the rollout consistency. Did you expect every carrier to have WP8 devices on the same day nation wide? Continent wide? World Wide? Delusions of grandeur sir. Apple can only do it because they manufacture the only phone that has iOS. No driver support issues and all that pesky sh*t that's for nerds only.
5- Seems like a fantastic camera to me. People don't use their phones for professional photos. They use them for real life photos. I swear I've barely taken a photo with any phone over the past 4 years because unless nothing is moving, the lighting is perfect, and I don't move 1 nanometer while I press the camera button (or touch the screen), the photo always has some defect or is terrible. I want to be able to strap that biznitch to my handbars on my motorcycle and take smooth video and I want to be able to not tell people to stop moving during any sort of movement activity just to get a decent shot.
So in summary:
1 of your points is Microsoft's fault... if you can call it that when doing a worldwide launch
1 of your points is something all manufacturers do with some of their phones
3 of your points are about the "sh**ty" camera.
Yeah, the camera is bad, but the camera video is good, but the camera is still bad and did I mention that the camera is bad?
It would appear that you don't like the camera. Is that a safe guess? Or is it because you also don't like the camera?
.... see my point? You're hating... hard.
