Would you get rid of your Nokia 920?

I love my 920, but I'm due up for a contract renewal/new phone discount in November. With that said, there's no announced Windows Phone for AT&T that I'm interested in. The 1020 is too old, the 1520 is almost too old and definitely too big, the 830 is not a significant upgrade over the 830 (roughly the same or worse in everything except form factor and maybe processor). I'd seriously consider importing the 930 if I'd get LTE.

It's really kind of frustrating. I'd love to get something new and fancy, but literally every option requires some sort of compromise, which wasn't true two years ago when I upgraded my Samsung Focus to a Lumia 920.

I'm in the same place. I don't know what to do. I love my 920. The phone is solid. Only option for me would be 930 off contract.

I'm going to resist the siren call of the M8 and hold out until 2015 to see what Threshold has in store (and hopefully new devices that ship with it).

Someone mentioned Sony on wp... If they released a z3 running wp id seriously consider that as my upgrade in the spring. I love Nokia but there's nothing at the moment that warrants an upgrade!

I've had my 1520 for about eight months and every time I look at it, it reinforces my reason for upgrading my 920. My charge to you is try out the 1520 for a few hours and see if you want to give it back.

I'm seriously considering the Sony Z3 which looks amazing. I've waited long enough for Microsoft to bring something else out but nothing apart from the crappy 930 which is old tech from the icon.

It will be 2 years in November with my Lumia 920 and I'm still happy with the phone.

My frustration so far is that there's no proper successor to the Lumia 920 on AT&T. I would have seriously considered the 930, but it's definitely a more iterative update. The HTC One has the same internals, but slightly tweaked, but it doesn't have the AMOLED display and I'm not a fan of the design. I'm also not confident it's going to see updates as consistently as Microsoft's own phones. Look at what happened with the 8X and 8S.

I don't want to go back to Android. We've got test devices in the office like the Galaxy S5 and while the display is incredible I can't stand Samsung's implementation of Android. The Nexus 5 is better, but I can't really deal with the OS given my positive experiences with Windows Phone.

That really leaves the iPhone as the other option. Unfortunately, I think the iPhone 6 is overrated and iOS 8 isn't impressive at all. It pales in comparison to the update that came with Windows Phone 8.1. When you do stumble onto those changes it often feels like change for the sake of change, and many of those not necessarily for the better.

I was originally considering an iPhone 6 if by early next year no successor was announced for AT&T. However, I've changed my mind and decided to stick with the 920 until a real replacement comes along.
