Looking really good for WP and Nokia.
This launch might just gather ever so little more attention and customers for Lumia 920.
Same camera on iPhone 5 than on iPhone 4S, just thinner. Lumia 920 also has larger lens at 920 f/2.0 compared to f/2.4.
Lumia 920 has 35% more pixels. Even at 4.5" (compared to 4" on iPhone 5) the Lumia 920 is still has higher pixel density at 331ppi vs 326ppi on iPhone 5.
Larger aperture isn't better by default. HTC has f/2.2 in phones like the rezound, vivid, and mt4g and the 4S still outperformed them. Apple seems to have some really good post-processing built into their camera app that makes the pictures look really good.
The 900 had "OMG Carl Zeiss" lens and that turned out well. Will have to wait and see, especially how HTC and Samsung hardware stacks up since some people may only have that choice (like Arrive and Trophy on Sprint and Verizon).
I wonder what it's performance will be like with flash, since that's usually where the iPhone has been weak.
Don't think the ppi or pixel count matters the 5 has a 4" screen at almost same PPI it doesn't need more pixels, really.
I think hinging on Nokia is bad. Their phone will possibly be an exclusive (AT&T) so the other OEMs will need to be equally competitive for the platform to compete with ios5. And there is still great disparity in both ecosystem and developer support.
I think Microsoft needs some sticky features exclusive to their platform. Something like iMessage, BBM, FaceTime (which will see more use now that it's 3G/4G enabled) they need some features that force people to really advertise the platform. Everyone thinks their platform of choice is tops, but the sticky features are what really accelerate adoption and force people to evangelize.
The new ipod touch is incredible, though...
Additionally BB10 is coming soon and looking pretty good.
