I had a 920 in December and it was without a doubt the nicest piece of phone hardware I've ever owned.
I had it for two weeks and it went back because of constant reboots and also because live tiles / background tasks kept breaking.
I discussed how widespread the issues were with the retailer and because they'd had other phones back with the same issues we went for a refund on the assumption that it's at least partially a firmware problem. I've gone back to using my Galaxy Nexus (which is crap in comparison).
I want to know if anyone knows if the reboots are going to be addressed any time soon? My understanding was that the portico update doesn't fix them?
I'm trying to decide whether to get another 920 but given how pricy it is in the UK I will not put up with it being flaky (wasn't fun when it crashed while I was using Nokia Drive in the car).
I really like WP but a couple of other things are putting me off going back. Firstly, if I decide Nokia's phones are no good and think about say an Ativ S I don't get decent free satnav (which I'm used to). The other problem is Google. I've used Google services for years and am not about to ditch them for Outlook.com. I know new active sync connections can still be setup for the next couple if weeks (hence reconsidering this now) but long term I'm screwed if I want my Gmail/Calendar/Contacts on WP. Does anyone know if there's been any news about any of this that might improve things.
Anyway, obviously a loaded question on a WP forum but is there any point in me getting another 920 or should I just look for a new Android phone :/
