Best of the Best

Phone owned for less than a month

Weight
Lighter and more comfortable than my HTC Rezound with extended battery. Galaxy S3 is significantly lighter, but I do enjoy the feel of a solid phone. I also understand that technology built into the phone - particularly wireless charging - adds extra weight to the phone.

Apps
There are solid apps on the app store now, but I am missing some of my favorite apps. Also, there are apps I would rather use on a browser but, unfortunately, going to these websites brings a very dated mobile version of the site. I came across this issue with Facebook, all Google sites, Twitch, BB&T, and American Express. Sites need is a simple tweak to their HTML to correct. iOS and Android are given the more up-to-date websites.
My biggest loss is Google Music. I literally use it every day and there is no option on Windows Phone for it. The web app only works for 1 song and then stops if screen is locked. I’d imagine Google Apps coming to Windows Phone in the near future though.
All of the built in apps all work great and are beautiful compared to Android and iPhone equivalents. Particularly the email and texting apps. Pro tip: if you are having trouble syncing your company Outlook with your phone it probably has something to do with the settings on the server. Google inheriting permissions.

Battery
It is lasting me all day with average continuous use. My Android would be dead half way through the day even with the extended battery. (Under similar brightness settings, 4g, push notification settings, and carelessness about apps that are running in background). As far as wireless charging goes: it is great. Its not a gimmick; It is something you get used to very quickly.

Syncing with Desktop
Windows 8: Download “Windows Phone” app from Windows Store. Very smooth process.
Apple Mountain Lion: Download “Windows Phone” app from App Store. Name your phone. Syncing can’t get any easier. The best part is that I didn't have to format the phone for Windows or Mac. Works on both right out of the box.

Predictive Text/ Spell Check
Never felt like I was wrestling the keyboard like on my Android (even with the most popular, highly rated custom keyboard for the play store). The larger size and extra sensitive screen makes it better than what I've used from Android and iPhone in my opinion. Especially with the smaller screen iPhone 5 provides.

Overall
I have a amazing experience without having to dump money into cases, extended batteries, and apps that some people could deem as necessary to buy. Everything “just works”. Apps blend together seamlessly, and a luxurious experience. Everyone who sees my phone is captivated by it.

My Nokia Lumia 920 (I've had it for 10 days)

Phone owned for less than a month

Great phone! I switched from the iPhone 3GS when my AT&T contract was up and it was between the Nokia and the Galaxy III. I decided to get the Nokia and I'm verty glad I did. I'm a "Windows guy", so the OS fits in with my server and PC's at home and work. Battery life is great, camera is fantastic, especially in low light conditions, the screen is beautiful and LTE is fast and reliable!!! It's a big phone, but the screen is great for Internet use and watching movies/videos. I use a holster (yeah, I'm not cool), so the weight doesn't bother me at all. Windows 8 OS is very responsive and intuitive. What better phone is there, especially for $100 with a wireless charger?

Nokia 920

Phone owned for less than a month

Phone is NICE and a wonderful improvement from the last one. However, I'm still NOT happy with the lack of apps available to me. Let's step it up quickly!!!!!
Also it vibrates very hard and it sounds as if some thing is loose. You shouldn't HEAR the vibration you should FEEL it! Otherwise NICE phone! Camera is AWESOME!

Love it!

Phone owned for less than a month

Just upgraded from a Nokia N8-00, since symbian is half-dead, and I'm sure glad I did. The screen is AMAZING. Swiping through the tiles is fluid and free of hickups and the live tiles are a nicely added feature. Haven't had any problems with browsing the web - WiFi/LTE works great. Was able to plug into the computer with no problems and copy mp3s to the phone and pictures with just using "My Computer." This is my first Windows phone and there was basically zero learning curve.

Meh

Phone owned for less than a month

Been using this phone for work and all i can say is meh.

Its not a bad phone, much more in line with the offerings of Android and iOS than previous attempts.

The app store is lacking, UI is lively, but I'd say its closer to iOS than Android in terms of customization.

Its built like a tank, but unfortunately probably weighs as much.
Not a bad phone, but im not too big on camera's on phones so the main selling point is really moot for me.

Safe to say Nokia, or even Windows Phone 8, isnt for me.

My First Windows Phone and the best phone I've ever had

Phone owned for less than a month

This phone is truly amazing. It has the best of everything and is super fast. I am not the heaviest of users and average two to two and a half days of battery life. I can't enough about the camera. This camera blows my mind. It takes amazing photos in any condition, and the screen is a thing of beauty. Also, I am coming from a HTC Inspire 4G to this phone, and I get two to three bars of reception more with this phone than the HTC. The calls themselves are also much much clearer than on my previous phone. I recommend this phone to anyone that wants an absolutely amazing experience with a smartphone.

Best phone ever

Phone owned for less than a month

i've tried a lot of phones before, but with Lumia 920, it's a whole new experience!
when you hold it in your hand, you can feel the quality unlike all the other phones!
and with the available color collection, each one can determine his/her style not to mention the offered colors by the OS for the livetiles.
i love it.

Nice phone

Phone owned for less than a month

Just traded my iPhone 4 for this never going back to ios unless they change big time. Apps integrate with the phones main apps, meaning I can download new photo apps and don't have to crowd my start menu because it will be in the camera's "lenses". Battery lasted 8 hours on very very heavy usage meaning (didn't let it fall asleep had a lot of apps open). Can download maps(use off line/ don't need to wait for it to load). Nokia' city view lens works better then expected. So much faster then my iphone 4 apps run noticeably faster. OS design is so much better. Only suggestion is to lower the brightness more and to show newly downloaded apps somehow. The lowest setting seems as bright as my iPhone 4 brightest setting. Most major apps are all there but some apps are missing but there is obviously going to be a lot coming considering new PC's are now touchscreen too

Its Super fast and fluent

Phone owned for less than a month

I have had this phone for two days. It is so fast i have not seen it freeze yet but if you are a person that text a lot it might take a little bit longer, it takes time to type. THis phone is amazing. THe reason that i gave the camera a 9 is because it is not as good as it could be. i bet in a week or two there will be a up date to make the picture quality better its not the camera is the system.
