AFAIK nokia or MS wont do it unless you have a phone with screen larger than 4.5'
On smaller screens the tiles will be too small !!

sent either from my Nokia Lumia 820 or HTC Desire HD

currently, no. but technically it's possible, as soon as there's an interop (or full unlock), or some other possibility to edit the registry.

It's not the physical size of the screen that's the trigger for the increased tile count, it's the resolution.

You get the extra tile space on screens that have a resolution of at least 1080p (full HD).

Not really. If so, you'd have small tiles that are even smaller than those on the 620!

Screen size really is the trigger. The 1320 has a 720p resolution.

It's a registry entry change and the Lumia's are locked down... The change has to come in an update from Nokia.

It's possible on any phone running GDR3, but MS only "activates" it on phones with 5" and more. Joe Belfiore tweeted that.. So you can enable it on any phone with registry access, which is only publicly available for the Ativ S. So yes, there's still a chance we can see it coming on other phones.. But the chinese video could be faked or with a non-retail device, so don't get overly excited :p
