I do get the feeling there are a lot of iOS people - paid or otherwise - who post derogatory remarks on forums. Usually its the weight, quality, blah blah blah.
I have had my 920 for a week.
Pro's:
Screen is fantastic - I mean jaw dropping. Best mobile phone screen I have seen
Weight - yes weight. It is the perfect weight for a mobile phone. It reeks quality and in NO way feels too heavy to carry around. I much prefer it to cheap feeling phones.
OS - very fluid and fast and by FAR the most modern and sexy looking OS on the market. I cant stop playing with it (ooh matron!)
Call quality - outstanding clarity
Signal - I am getting clear and strong signal in areas where my iphone4 used to lose signal completely (same network)
Integration - Microsoft account works very well and syncs everything easily, SkyDrive integration is excellent. To coin a phrase "it just works" <whistle>
Browsing - Lightning quick browsing experience.
Camera - stunning quality... cant believe the low light pics are so good
Office - brilliant... I can actually build spreadsheets on a mobile - wow
Voice texting - brilliant , I have a 2 hour commute to work and can send and receive texts easily through Bluetooth and voice commands
Video - very watchable as a movie screen. Image is stable and crisp.
Music sound - the sound when Dolby is turned on and through headphones is fantastic - it feels as though the music is playing inside you head, like the whole song is just part of what you are thinking.
Cons:
Battery - only just 24 hrs, but any heavy browsing and it will drain quickly.. I am hoping that this is sorted with an update
Apps - still quite a few major apps missing (though plenty to be getting on with)... this is less of a con and more of a 'wait for the store to grow' issue
Accessories - finding there is short supply of accessories in the UK - again that will change.
Overall the best phone I have ever owned by a country mile and I will never go back to iOS. That operating system is ugly, buggy, and a pain in the ass!
