First WP Phone ever, The Lumia 920: Experience

[Haseeb Rehman]

Well I just bought a new Windows Phone the lumia 920. I absolutely love the amazing screen quality. MIND BLOWING. My previous phone was iPhone 5. I noticed some better performances on the internet browser too.
The design? I like it. Yeah it'd quite great. Gets a little warm after some wifi usage from top right corner, though.
Battery life seems pretty wow-ish too. I'm loving the windows phone experience.
No lags or anything. Smooth as a charm. Better than any android phone out there (Except the HTC One, maybe).
Anyways I'm quite liking the new experience and hope that Nokia and windows won't disappoint me.

Just an FYI. That is the processor you feel up there (not the battery, that put my mind at ease a little, haha). Anytime you use something that is pretty computationally draining (some games, GPS... sustained browsing) you will feel that heat up there.

The top is to the left, that copper part is the heat sync.

I've been using my L920 since Jan 2013 and I checked now the number of apps installed.

I just learned that I have more than 165 apps which includes a number Xbox titles & others games, Here suite, social & communication apps, readers, media content (NBA live, Netflix, Discovery..), Music streams etc. Still I never experienced any lags. The user experience is consistent even with hundred of apps.

I cant say the same for my Samsung Galaxy Note though.

Hey, I just noticed that whenever I charge my phone the charging signal keeps blinking. Is it normal or my charging USB cable is not well? Please reply.

Yeah completely normal, nothing to be concerned about!!

Thank you.

Welcome aboard! I switched to WP with a new Lumia 920 around 3 weeks ago and love it so far. Only minor complaints would be a bad battery drain on two different occasions, which I think was related to an app. Not using that app for now to see if it happens again. Could be e-mail sync issues too. Other than that I love the phone and no regrets on the super deal I got to get it.

Good luck and enjoy!! :smile:

Welcome aboard! The platform sure isn't perfect (what is), but it keeps improving and it already is really amazing. Even with the shortcomings I couldn't realistically consider switching to an Android-phone or an iPhone anymore.

glad you got on this boat as well.. I moved from blackberry and I couldn't be happier, the phone is fast, smooth and never lags.. and wp8 is a relative new OS, just imagine what will come (improvements and updates) from microsoft/nokia..

I had to choose a phone that would stay with me for years, I choose and and couldn't be happier, 920 =)

You can add me to the 920 club as of this week. Really like the phone design and Windows Phone 8 seems great so far. Really digging the UI experience. My camera isn't working consistently so I may need to exchange but I will get another 920.

Welcome! If you have any problems, just ask us here over at the forums.

As for me, I'm saving up for the 920 successor. Have fun with your phone!

Thanks all of you. You guys are really helpful and nice. Well, I have been having a problem finding a good ebook reader. I tried Freda and Coffee Reader but they won't open the ePub file of The lord of the rings (Complete set) of 6.8mb. Both of them get stuck on the loading sign and won't open the book. Any suggestions? I'm using Adobe reader to read the LOTR in Pdf format but it's really uncomfortable to read from there.

There are some beautiful apps out there Haseeb. You think your phone is nice now, wait until you get into "discovery" mode. You made a great choice.
