I wanted to like the Nokia Lumia 920. I really did! I just couldn't lift it up to use it. It's almost 200 grams! Can you believe they made a phone that heavy!? No mere mortal can wield that! Like anyone but Arthur with Excalibur or anyone but Thor with Mjolnir, I put my full weight behind trying to lift the massive Lumia 920 to no avail. It was as if the phone was one of the mythical weapons listed above and I, unfortunately, was not the one selected to be it's wielder.
I might be extra annoyed by the weight of the Nokia Lumia 920 because I burned my mouth this morning slurping my coffee through a straw. AGAIN! Alas, the full mug of coffee - ALMOST 600 GRAMS! - is just ridiculously heavy; almost 3 TIMES heavier than the already-impossible-to-lift Lumia 920. Adding to my grumpiness, I'm starting to smell pretty funky as the larger-than-life shampoo bottle (a scale crushing 1000 grams - I KNOW!) simply cannot be hoisted from it's permanent resting spot. I know now that I should have just trusted my first instinct and opted for the travel size instead.
Hopefully, you understand with the morning I have had when coming to review the Nokia Lumia 920, I had already expended almost all of my strength just getting ready for the day and going to work. Of course, the phone I had to review was the Lumia 920. Of all the phones on all of the days, it had to be this phone today.
Unfortunately, I cannot complete the review. I can't tell you how great it feels in the hand, how smooth the OS is, none of that. The Lumia 920 just sits there on the table, menacingly; mocking me with it's gorgeous looks and seemingly laws-of-physics-denying weight. But maybe, just maybe a hero will rise - a man of renown; a man destined to wield this device like the heroes of legend. Unfortunately, as my greasy hair and burnt mouth can attest to, I am not that man.
