I honestly don't know what to think. In January when I decided to retire my one year old HTC Titan which I loved dearly for the bigger and better WP8 experience I was excited. I wanted the Lumia 920 because people were raving about its great specs, design and trusty Nokia quality. Well I have since fallen in love with WP8 but I didn't fall in love with the 920, not the one I had anyway. I got it from a 3rd party seller on Amazon because at the time they themselves weren't stocking them. I had to pay ?535 which is ridiculous now thinking of it. However it had build quality problems, a faulty vibrator and headphone jack. I loved many things about it like the audio enhancements, exclusive apps and design.
So after sending that back I got a HTC 8X. Again, I loved the unique design and somewhat good build quality. I didn't appreciate the mushy buttons but I was prepared to put up with it, until one day at college Ii had the "sim card error" message, immediately telling me something was wrong. The problem persisted after numerous factory resets, something I never had to do on any windows phone 7 handset.
So I sent that one back for a Samsung ATIV S. As cringy as that sounds it gave me the least amount of trouble, up until two weeks ago when I found black blotchy patches on the screen when there is a black background. There is also a big problem with the SD card reader which others are complaining about, something a software update may fix but this is Samsung we are talking about, there support for WP8 is lacking to say the very least. So after umming and arring and looking at amazon and finding they now stock the 920 in white over 100 pounds cheaper at 449.99 I ordered it.
Have I done the right thing here ? I hope I have :-/
