Currently have Galaxy S3, considering Lumia 920 (im on at&t)

[Jed Cutler]

Please. This is my THIRD Lumia 920. Both my fiance and I got one at the same time. We had to take hers back the day after we got it as it was highly unstable, crashed constantly, wouldn't connect to WiFi, etc. Unfortunately I am beyond my grace period for returning my phone in-store so I now have to wait for the holiday to end so I can deal with Nokia directly.

I didn't get one lemon, I got two... out of three total identical devices. Leave your condescension at the door and look at this forum. There are more threads posting about issues than there are actual discussion about the phone itself.

Heck, in my thread I made regarding my phone randomly turning itself off when charging 11 of the 17 total replies are from different people experiencing the same issue (see thread: http://forums.windowscentral.com/nokia-lumia-920/210586-lumia-920-shuts-down-when-charging.html). You don't find that concerning?

Based on my experience, across three different devices, I am unable to recommend this phone. It would be negligent of me to do so based on the circumstances. One of my prior phones was a Samsung Focus which was entirely problem free. This Nokia has proven to be the complete opposite.

Both my fiance and I have issues with Bluetooth audio streaming (crackles/pops, poor sound quality overall). Mine turns off when it is plugged in to charge. Mine randomly removes songs that have been synced, even when the phone hasn't been plugged in. But yes, you're right, I'll ignore those things and still recommend this abortion of a smartphone.

I don't think there's ever a smartphone nowadays that gets released without any problems. Yes we pay alot for them and expect we get a perfect one, but it's just the way it is. It still takes time before it is problem free thats why there are OS updates, and feedback from users regrading hardware and software issues. Is it unfair, maybe. Its always a risk.

You may have had a problem free Sammy Focus before and may be able to recommend it, but I'm sure there are others who had problems with it. Maybe just give the OP caution, but not totally say don't get it.
