Lumia 920 to be the next leader ?

Against all odds....

Whichever way you slice it or dice it, Nokia has gone from being a basket case to being directly compared with Apple about 18 months. This is some achievement in itself.

Meanwhile Apple has simply stopped innovating. Every iPhone since the original has simply included the latest technology advances that OTHER companies have made. There's been nothing, zero, zilch, nada from Apple itself. This is not sustainable.

Meanwhile Nokia have started to throw their engineering and innovation weight around. Pureview is a good example of something Nokia can do that is beyond the engineering or design capacity of Apple. And Microsoft have an OS than now makes Apple look so very old and tired.

I expect Apple to continue along the same path of gradual evolution, since I don't believe the company has the R&D skill or will to push new boundaries. Meanwhile I can't imagine what Nokia phones will look like in another 18 months.

Lack of 4G did, though.

So the Focus Flash outsold the L900? it had LTE.

My point is while weight might be a factor to some it isn't as big a factor as some have made it out to be.

The Focus Flash did NOT have LTE.

The Focus 2 does, but it's a low-end handset.

And "we outsold the Focus Flash" is not exactly a point to brag to analysts about, considering that the product received next to no marketing/promotion from Sammy or the carrier in question.

I stand corrected. You're right it is the Focus 2 not the Focus Flash with LTE but it doesn't alter my point which had to do with the weight of a phone. My first post was in reply to Smoledman's comment about the 920's weight being a huge knock against it.

I went from a Focus S to a Lumia 900 and while the 900 was heavier it became a non issue after a couple days.

Well I am seeing a lot of international carriers putting the 920 at their line up. One carrier was CDMA. I think T-mobile Germany or China Mobile. and the 920 is going on that carrier. wouldn't that mean the 920 is going to Verizon too?

China uses a variant of TDMA thats local for China and will have a variant of that with LTE its not supposed to be compatible with VZN or Sprint. So no not necessarily. It would be grreat if the 920 or 922 was pushed on all networks at the same time, but thats up to carriers making agreement with Nokia, or whomever. Its a free market capitalism world cant force a horse to a specific watertrough or force him/her to drink.
