    Pros: - BEST touchscreen on ANY smartphone
    - BEST Camera of ANY smartphone
    - Windows 8 Phone OS
    - Cool and gorgous design (specially the colored ones)
    - Wireless Charging
    - Nokia Maps
    - Nokia Drive
    - Office 365

    Cons: - Not really a con, but Apps are not as much as others due to being a new OS, but even after a week, more Apps are added!

    Summary: This phone just ROCKS! Best available phone, and A STEAL (if you're in US with AT&T)! Seriously...

    I was very much intrigued by Lumia 900, but I knew a new OS is coming and its camera and display was just a bit behind iPhone 4S, so waited... This one, OH BOY, is it simply GORGOUS, and TRUMPS any phone out there! There's simply NO competition, NONE!

    Display: HIGHEST resolution, HIGHEST Pixel density, and HIGHEST refresh rate vs. iPhone5/Galaxy S3

    Touchscreen: Most sensetive on the market, I used gloves last night and worked just perfect

    Camera: BEST camera on the market by A MILE, OMG, I took some pics at a club last night, it was ridicolous! Like seriously people were gathering around me to see how in the world I took amazing pics like that in a dark nightclub. It literally SHAMED my buddy's iPhone 5 and 4S pics, not even close!

    Windows 8 Phone OS: This is seriously the best mobile OS out there, with no competition. I was an iPhone user, and before that BB user, never found Android exciting, its simply a flawed and free OS to gain marketshare. Windows 8 OS is cool, gorgous, super smooth, has live tiles that gives you info before launching an App (can quickly glance what's going on), email client is amazing, the Music client is simply gorgous, and it is SUPER EASY to use.

    Apps: I have NO IDEA what CNet and other reviewers are complaining about! Yes, ofcourse it doesn't have as many Apps as iPhone/Android, it's a FREAKING NEW PLATFORM, DUH! How many Apps did we have at launch of iPhone or Android? I actually think there's more than enough useful apps as launch and they've done an amazing job so far and it will only grow in time. You just need to search around and find replacement for your favorite Apps and I haven't had any issues. One cool thing is you can *try* most apps without paying, and then if it works for you can pay and get the full version. It's fantastic!

    Maps: Nokia owns Navteq that is the BIGGEST supplier of maps to all GPS and navigation tools out there (for instance Garmin). So, you KNOW they got this right. It actually has more countries covered than Google Maps. It is very smooth, is very accurate (unlike Apple Maps that are simply inaccurate), and is fast! I find it hard to pick between Nokia Maps and Google Maps, it's a toss-up, and both TRUMP Apple maps.

    Nokia Drive: This is turn-by-turn navigation and CAN WORK OFFLINE! This feature alone is worth getting this phone. Imagine traveling to Europe and like to rent a car and drive around... you can simply download the maps for countries you visit, turn Data off (not to pay extra roaming costs), and use this as your GPS. FANTASTIC!

    Call Quality/Data: Nothing to complain, it's simply Nokia quality for calls (best in the market), and data speeds are FAST under LTE.

    Browser: IE10 is awesome. I love that website entry is at bottom of screen vs. top, so it's easy to use. Website just show-up PERFECT, and with the great resolution, screen size, and WIDER screen than iPhone 5/GS3, you just have MORE ON THE SCREEN, hence a better experience. I actually think websites show up better on this 4.5 vs. 4.8 on GS3 due to the wider aspect ratio.

    Wireless charging: WHY not all phones come like this is just beyond me?! It's sooo cool. Simply place it on the plate and have it charged, if it rings, pick up with no unplugging required, cables dangling, etc... Another innovation on this phone!

    Build Quality: 10/10, it just feels solid, is made of Poly Carbonate which is used for most expensive gadgets, it has curved glass and curved body and it's just a premium device, at a totally different league vs. GS3, and IMO even better built than iPhone5.

    WEIGHT/SIZE: There's so much BS about this phone's size and weight that just infiurates me. CNet claims this is heavy? ARE YOU SERIOUS?! This weighs as much as 2 clices of Ham and I never noticed the weight until I READ the review... People add metal/huge protective cases to their phone and add weight all the time. The size is just like GS3, and it does weigh a tiny bit more, but it's ABSOLUTELY NOT AN ISSUE, it's simply non-sense to say that's a downside.

    Cool factor: 10/10. This is ONE COOL PHONE and DIFFERENT! I wish I could get the Cyan or other colors, but in Canada we only get Black for now. If you got a choice, get a non-black color, it will totally stand out!

    Overall: I have NEVER owned another phone that has WOWed me as much and has done so many things as well as this phone. I literally pick it up multiple times an hr just to feel the awesome quality. It is the best internet experience with the gorgous display, the camera is simply untouchable at night, and if you are a younger user who takes pictures at night a lot, YOU MUST OWN this. The phone is different than all slabs in the market, and if you're in US, it's an incredible deal with AT&T.

    If you wanna BE DIFFERENT, BE COOL, OWN a Lumia! Bottom line!

    UPDATE: @CNET, How is this product user rating is 4.5 stars, where 93% (28 out of 30) of people have given it 5-stars and even if averaged out it's 4.83 stars? It is definitely closer to 5 than 4.5... another BIAS at Cnet?

    If you are on AT&T, the choise is clear. Price on the 920 is absolutely ridiculous $99... Black Friday Sale in the US pegs it at only 50 bucks!

    - super-sensitive touch screen
    - readable screen in bright sunlight
    - optical image stabilization and PureView algorithms in the camera
    - Exclusive Nokia Apps
    - Wireless charging (though rumor is the Verizon 8X will have this)

    Both have great screens as far as pixel density goes. Both have the same snappy dual-core CPU. The camera on the 8X is no slouch either, and their front-facing camera does edge out the 920's front camera. But the big deal-breaker for me is non-expandable 16GB storage on the 8X. OUCH. The 920 isn't expandable either, but at least you get a roomy 32GB.

    nice review!

    I was able to special order the cyan and it oozes cool.

    And just think... this is just the beginning of WP8. There will be even more improvements as time goes by.

    As far as Audio, It's probably a tossup between the 920 and the 8X. The 8X has Beats Audio and a built-in amp. The 920 has Dolby Audio I think.... Both sound great, and matter more on your headphones (as others have said). I am eying those nice Monster headphones on the Nokia accessories website. I think the 8X might have the edge because of that built in amp... but honestly, I think the advantage is a small one. The 920 wins hands down when you add up the full package of features.

    I will say the 8X is a great looking phone, and people who are not on AT&T have a lovely option for jumping on the WP8 fun through that device. The California Blue on the 8X is lovely. And while they are roughly the same height, the shape and smaller width of the 8X is nice for people who want a smaller feeling phone.

    @Osa007, the music sounds perfect to me. I have no idea HOW Cnet rated the same chipset sound (HTC has the same chipset) better? To me, for any portable music device, earphones make the BIGGEST difference and I got a nice Seinheiser that sounds just perfect!

    I really wouldn't put too much weight behind Cnet reviews anymore, they are at best biased, and at worst, incompetent.

    What does music sound like. Based on CNET review HTC 8X sounded better.
