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

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.

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.

Don't worry it'll get added soon. Rogers has slowly been shipping Lumia 920's out and it's not even on their site Launch date for ATT is rumoured to be either Nov. 11 or 12.

I'll add you to the members list

EDIT: NM looks like a Nov. 9th release

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).

That's pretty much been my experience with my Lumia 900. Solid phone. After using the Lumia 920 for a bit it already surpasses the old Lumias.

Supposedly 7.8 is coming out before Christmas, but I guess we'll see.

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 liked my Lumia 900, but there is no comparison between it and 920. I keep draining the battery cuz I can't put it down

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.

Congratz! I wish Rogers here in Canada offered colours other than Black (really want a yellow one) but yes the phone is impressive, so I'll put up with black
