Hi guys!
I'm currently having a hard time deciding between the Lumia 820 and the 720...
First of all, some things I don't care for:
3G/4G connectivity. I run on a 2G network almost all the time.
Super sensitive touch. Its a;ways warm where I am, so no need for gloves
Front facing camera. I hardly do video calls except occasionally with relatives and friends of family so...the VGA of the 820 doesn't bother me
High-end, intensive gaming, like 3D graphics and whatnot. Kind of stopped playing them after my old phone (Arc S) didn't hold up well against any kind of game. Normal games like Puzzle games and Angry Birds, the less intensive kind...sometimes.
Things that matter the most to me:
Camera. I wouldn't say I'm an avid photographer, but I like to take some nice shots when I see the beautiful moments in life, and that being said I do like those shots that I take occasionally to be perfect. So camera quality is a big thing for me. (The 920's price isn't worth it though)
Samples of photos I'd like to be able to take with my new Lumia:

Battery life. My battery life on my old Arc S was horrible, charge it twice a day. And I didn't even use it that much! So the 720 will obviously have a better battery life, but will the 1650mah on the 820 last me a day?
Lag. On my previous phone...lag was EVERYWHERE. Even opening up my keyboard to reply to a message took at least two seconds. Which is why I went for the 820 at first because it is obviously better than my old 1.4ghz single core and 512 ram phone. But I was wondering: WP8 is supposedly lighter on the phone than Android, so if I get the 720, will I also have lag everywhere? If there is lag (at all), is it often or just occasional?
So...yeah. I'm basically wondering if the 6.1mp camera on the 720 is better than the 8 one of the 820? I know the aperture is 1.9 on the 720 which is great, but how about normal daylight photos? Is the 6.1mp limit going to affect anything?
And will the 512 ram and 1ghz dual cause me constant lag? Occasional (1 or twice per day) is fine. The apps I use the most are messaging, Facebook, camera and browser so...how is the experience on the 720?
I kind of am swaying to the 720 right now because of the Gorilla Glass, bigger battery and lower cost. The deciding factor now is if the RAM and CPU and the Camera are up to my expectations.
Thanks for reading!
