before you guys kill me I want to say that I really really really want to have a 920!
But, I'm extremely frustrated that even right now there is still no firm available dates for unlocked 920s. I have a trip to China coming in less than ten days and I really want to have a new international GSM phone before I leave. I looked at Note II many times, and the killer thing is that it's available, * right now *. I resisted the temptation many times, but last night I just found out that Newegg is running a $90 off promotion for Note II, bringing the total to $589 with free shipping no tax and heck I finally caved in...
To be frank, I believe the bad daynight shots from 920 also nudged me a little bit since I began to believe that Nokia simply does not have a first-grad sensor for its camera, although it has a super f2.0 OIS lens. The report on the short battery life concerns me a bit too, while Note II's battery has been uniformly praised for easily blasting through more than a whole day use.
Anyway, I decided that it's better to hold a Note II first so I can wait comfortably for a few months to let the dusts settle down on 920. The beauty of buying an unlocked phone is that I can sell the Note II anytime I want to the 920.
Yes, I'm almost certain I'll have the 920 eventually b/c I love WP8 and 920 is the best WP8 phone so far. One big price to my "strategic" purchases of Note II and 920 is to get my wife over them and I'm working hard on that...
