*sigh*I don't need to hold a 920 in my hands for 8 week to know that, when everyone that hold the phone says is heavy, and the pictures I can look with my same eyes.

Ok tell something.
Is it or is it not a Fact that the Lumia 920 is heavier than it's direct competition.
Are the day photos not blurry?

We don't really stop to think about the rest of the world.
Nokia's reputation in many other parts of the world is still intact. There would be less opposition in trying one of Nokia's new phones in many other countries.Is Nokia doing well somewhere? Where is this?
Welp, since the fire is already hot, might as well throw some more coals on it. Here's BGR review of the 920. Another "bias" site calling it heavy.
Nokia Lumia 920 review: Windows Phone 8??s white knight falls short | BGR
"Once you get past the fact that the Lumia 920 weighs about as much as a small tractor-trailer and is nearly as thick as a tree trunk, this phone is as solid as they come."
They might be exaggerating a tad eh.
And for sure, they love them some Apple products on BGR, that's for sure. Not sure that means they can't give an honest review. *shrugs*
That's very well written, I enjoyed his 8X review as well.thanks for sharing that.

The app selection is not as good as other OS. But I don't see how you can keep knocking a phone or a OEM for that.They also claim that:
-camera strip is aluminium (no mention of ceramic)
-it has only BT 2.1
-Nokia music plays "stations" for free (no further explanation)
-That you can't use a microusb wire to charge it only wireless charging so they mark wireless charging as a minus (ridiculous)
Also they pretty much imply that the last time Nokia made a great camera was in 2007 with N82 while in real life there really hasn't been a period in phones when Nokia didn't have the best camera in the industry. No mention of the N8 or 808, actually they claim iphone5 has the best camera today. (to save their faces they added the next sentance)
"Nokia was once the undisputed leader when it came to smartphone cameras. There wasn’t even really any competition. I remember the first time I examined pictures taken by the xenon flash-equipped Nokia N82 and thinking to myself, there’s no way camera phones will ever get better than this.
Of course, that clearly ended up being a Charles Duell moment for me because cameras on smartphones have gotten exponentially better since 2007 when the N82 launched. Now, in 2012, the camera on Apple’s iPhone 5 is often the standard by which other smartphones are measured. While Apple’s camera may or may not be the best in the business, Nokia’s new Lumia phone definitely gives it a run for its money."
Is there really competition for 808 today?
Bias all the way. Am I biased? Maybe.
edit. I don't see the point of mentioning the weight and size on 5(?) different occasions. Also I don't understand the title since they gave it a good review besides the size and apps. Actually the apps was the only legitimate downside they argued.

- What's ceramic on the phone? I didn't think he was being negative about the CZ strip
Not negative but it was yet another factual error:
"Another hi-tech material, and one that is making its first ever appearance within the range on the Nokia Lumia 920 is the ceramic zirconium camera detailing and side keys. This material is both scratch and wear resistance, which further drives Nokia focus on durability and strength.
This ceramic replaces the aluminium camera detailing and side keys in the Nokia Lumia 900. "
In the BGR review they say:
"The back of the phone carries only an aluminum plate bearing Carl Zeiss Tessar branding, the rear-facing camera and a dual-LED flash. And the camera, as it turns out, is a perfect lead into the next section of this review."
It's important since lots of people were complaining about that aluminium scratching.
It's just too heavy. Inexcusably heavy. Way, way too heavy to recommend to anyone.
the HTC Titan was big, and it was pretty great. The 920 is bloated, cumbersome. Anyone's first response will be "Ugh, God, this thing is heavy."
It's a visceral, instant repulsion, and it doesn't get any less heavy, as if through some polycarbonate osmosis. It's just as galling every time you take it out of your pocket—stretched within a micron of its life—and that isn't the kind of feeling you want to have with an object you're going to be using all day every day.
the 920 is a design failure all by itself. Everything good about it is nullified by its obesity.
