      Mr Smartman, 10 Sep 2012"Even though the video gives you the wrong impression,... moreSo I use 40,000 camera to shoot the video to show the OIS image quality of mobile phone, am I right? Iph5 will have real optical OIS. Companies may try and try but never win apple. Just like when they tried to win mp3 market back from ipod

        LOL! nokia = Epic fail! nearby place features = 3 years old features!
        screenshots, better chipsets, new apis, live tile ( widgets in droid) nfc, bluetooth share =1 to 3 years old features! design is terrible! and correcting fakes by lies is terrible !

          AnonD-36622, 10 Sep 2012You wish mate...I'm not a samsung fan, but they did a reall... moreLittle off topic, but please do clarify how abilities of S3 are far superior to Lumia 920? I'll give you the weight (cost of making the phone endure actual usage, without need for protective covers which only go so far), but I really doubt that would really have any negative influence on UX in real life. And we are talking about 50grams here :) (normal letter weighs the same)

          Its nice that you yourself mentioned abilities of the device and not just specs as is customary with fandroids. Its what you can do with it that matters.

          So what can you do with Lumia 920 that you cant do with S3 out of the box? 1)Wireless charging. 2) take photos and video during night time (dark shapes don't count) 3) Get steady and blur free photos and videos regardless of how shaky your hands are (OIS) 4) get actual quality audio recording regardless of how loud the environment (you can check the difference in youtube e.g 808 pureview vs S3) 5) great screen visibility even under direct sunlight from the best panel in any current mobile (332ppi, 550nits, highest resolution, fastest LCD etc.) 6) ability to use the phone with gloves on or use it with your nails (ladies will love that) 7) You get highest dataspeeds your operator can offer (Meaning LTE which is missing in Samsung outside of US, because they wanted to put those 2 extra cores there to get the power consumption up, without any real-life performance benefit) 8) FREE Nokia Maps, Drive and Transit, there is nothing available to Android that can come close to those, and the ones that are available, you have to pay 60USD extra to get one of the above (maps).

          Above listed abilities come all from Nokia side and I don't feel the need to list all the goodies WP8 itself will bring to the table.

                Nokia treats its loyal client fanbase like sh!t. First with underpowered overpriced devices, then the Nokia N97, then Nokia 5800XM, then the Nokia N8. Then not launching and releasing Nokia 808 PureView on time, then this so called camera phone with lesser features than the previous generation. Lies, lies, and more lies.

                        Thing what people dono is windows phone is super and android have lots of apps but they don't have what people want.... In the sense social network and which is more important where we all want every update and lumia is giving us the best hardware where the other smartphone have them... I love Nokia and WP for its best os which never lagged as I had galaxy note just for its screen and it sucks even after update of ICS.. Lag .... But I even have lumia 800 which have never lagged ... And I use it allot for day to day use of what I want and what I use .... Trust me windows and lumia 920 makes a lot of sense :-):-)

                            i got the s3 and i'm thinking about getting the lumia...

                            i'm very disappointed about this and i don't really understand why they did this when actual samples from the camera of the 920 are very, very good (not dslr quality, but still very good compered to some compacts and better than almost every phone (not shure that better then the n8 )... )

                                      i think the ethical thing to do is to give out to all their fans a FREE nokia lumia 920 for all our mental anguish of having our hopes dashed.

                                        in the future they will be careful not to be so amateur when trying to mislead consumers ... here in Brazil if you steal a loaf of bread for the hungry, goes to jail ... but it is rich and deceives millions of people ... okay.
