Along the lines of something I posted in an earlier thread which now seems to have taken on a new relevance now following the L830 announcement:
The Lumia 830 has a SD400 rather than an 800 as we'd hoped, however everything else about it is perfect for me. As a non-gamer, should the SD400 be enough to put me off altogether coming from a L920? The key thing here is I'm not too interested in comparisons against SD800 devices such as the 930 which would clearly outperform it as this isn't my experience. What matters to me is how this phone will feel to use after my 920.
As I said game performance isn't generally an issue, more just the general speed of core OS and apps. I find performance on my 920 to be fine and I don't see a need for a massive improvement, however I certainly wouldn't want to upgrade to something that performed noticeably less well.
I really want to want the 830, however I need to be convinced that it's up to the job and at the moment I'm not. (I realise that we need to wait for reviews/benchmarks etc really, this is more just a prompt for discussion around the issue and perhaps to share any experience people have of similar hardware).
BTW I've been following the scene since 'Windows Phone 7 Series' days but only just registered on here the other day. Good to be involved guys! )
