Hi All!
Finally jumped onto the Lumia 920 bandwagon yesterday. I haven't disposed off of my iPhone 5 so now have the best of both worlds at my disposal. I actually had to purchase a WP device for development purposes (somewhat covered by my office) and ended up getting the Lumia 920 instead of the HTC 8x or Lumia 820 given that I got it at an extremely reasonable price.
I'm not completely new to the windows world - I've been an avid user of Windows Mobile as well as Windows Phone 7/7.5 in the past, so am kind of familiar with the operating system to a large extent. So i've kinda settled in comfortably already. It troubles me a bit, the lack of application availability, but then again, every platform has its weaknesses and sooner or later MS will get most of everything that's anything useful added to the marketplace.
Anyhow... Two things I need advise on;
Looking forward to enjoying the best of both worlds!!!

Anyhow... Two things I need advise on;
- Should I get a cover for the Lumia 920? It's the gorgeous yellow variant that I got and I'd hate to cover it up as it looks frickin' awesome as is! However, after just one day's usage, and very careful handling, I somehow did manage to get a very slight bump on one of the edges of the device - probably when I placed it onto the desk or something. Cover or no cover? I actually did find a few covers here in the local market (Pakistan!!) and I didn't personally like 'em too much. Perhaps I might be able to find something worth getting online...
- Any Pakistani on this forum? Know of any good Navigation software that has Pakistan maps on the Windows Phone? Nokia Maps doesn't have much to it for us here unfortunately...
- Best Camera Apps!! Which ones? Already downloaded Camera 360 and ProShot. On the iPhone I am addicted to the KitCam app (which is kinda discontinued now).
- How to download apps that aren't available in my marketplace? There are some applications that I wanted to install which weren't available for Pakistan! Any way to get around that?
Looking forward to enjoying the best of both worlds!!!
