For those in the US you can now pre-order the Nokia Lumia 920 and the HTC 8X from Best Buy.

The HTC 8X looks pretty good,beats logo on the back kinda ruins it though.

Ya it does kinda ruin it, and I also don't expect the build quality of the HTC to be as good as Nokia's.

Very curious if this is true. |

I got my Lumia 920 yesterday. Gorgeous phone, fast, smooth, more than I can say for my friend's Galaxy S3.
Also, it looks like Nokia is giving out free wireless charging pads to Lumia 920 and 820 customers (both phones support Qi wireless charging). http://www.wpcentral.com/nokia-offer...-920-customers |

AT&T still aren't listing the 920 yet.
![]() I have a Nokia Lumia 900 and LG Quantum. LG Quantum hates to roam and has been discontinued for a while now.

Apart from a short period just after I bought it(bought it right after it was released), its been really stable and fluent. I've had perhaps 3 crashes in the whole year, and most of the times I cannot even remember the last time i've had to turn it on.
But the best of all, everything is just so easy to use and accomplish. The only downside imho is the fact that it doesnt get an upgrade to windows phone 8(but 7.8 should be coming soon and provide some of the updates anyway). |

You'll love the phone, I honestly can't believe how fast and fluid the UI is. The pictures are also spectacular.

I want a Lumia 920 so frikkin' bad. Or better yet a Samsung Ativ S because it's huge. I played around with a Galaxy Note and I fell in love with the size.

AT&T pre-orders are on as well. For a premium phone $99 on contract is decent.

![]() I think the Lumia 920 is at the high end in terms of what I can tolerate for size, as it is pretty big. |

Just a reminder that Windows Phone 8 phones launch Nov. 9th in the US, and Nov. 12th on Rogers in Canada
Also, I'm putting any note-worthy pics/vids from my Lumia 920 here https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=2c293...0FF4F0035!2099 |

Anyone on AT&T get a Nokia Lumia 920 or HTC 8X today?
Also, Windows Phone 8 now supports cloud backup, here's a guide to using it http://www.wpcentral.com/backing-and...indows-phone-8 |

I got my Lumia 920 in white today at the AT&T store. Haven't had a ton of time to play with it, but just from using it at work it's pretty impressive.
