The dust has settled, what's your assessment of the 920/820?

Wow, people are complaining that it's heavy? Have you ever owned a light phone? I own a Samsung Focus S. It's as light as a feather, and completely gives off the impression that it's a cheap, plastic, mass-produced device. Which it is. It's one of the main negatives about this phone. I take off the battery cover off this device and I'm dissapointed at how flimsy and crappy this thing is put together. The screen is nice, but there's more to it than that.

I go and pick up an iPhone 4s and it feels so, so much better due to the extra weight quality of materials. It feels like a premium device. The Samsung feels like a mass-produced Toyota Corolla whereas the iPhone feels like an AMG mercedes.

Give me a break about the weight. I've owned an iPhone, BB Bold, and Samsung Focus S. Each for 2 years. The iPhone by far felt the best despite being the heaviest. In fact, the heaviness played a large part in how solid the device feels.

WP OS is a great OS, better than any out there IMO, and I'm glad a manufacturer is finally delivering quality devices. When my contracts up I would choose a 920 over Ativ S, hands down. No question. The Ativ S is a one in a billion clone of every other Samsung phone out there. Only plus I see with the Ativ S is the removable storage.

I might be ok with the weight of the 820 (160gr), but we have to wait untill it hits the stores. The 185gr of the 920 is serious weight to drag around. I do agree that weight adds to the premium feel, to some extent. My ancient 3210 feels sturdy with 153gr, my guess is that 185gr is just too much.

I'd rather compare iPhones with Audi's. They all look the same from the front with the same "innovative" design and premium prices.

I don't have a limp wrist so I'm pretty sure I could handle the 920. I get upset more and more everyday that the 920 is on craptastic at&t.
