Nokia’s Lumia 920 is exactly what you think it is, and it is the overall best Windows Phone 8
handset on the market today. But that accolade comes with a couple of
caveats, including a size and heft that many will find off-putting. But
you get used to it, and the pros absolutely outweigh the cons.
Light at the end of the tunnel or the tunnel of light at the end.
Nokia is near the point where it couldn't care less - as long as the
dark days are finally over for a company, which used to drive an entire
industry forward.
Nokia must hardly be enjoying life after Symbian and it shows. The fact is that the Finns have nothing but Ashas and the most basic of S30 phones between the last Windows Phone flagship and the next. The PureView 808 was a flash of brilliance - like the N9 before it - but just that. And a dwindling army of fans still holds on to the memory of a Nokia that was as prolific as it was talented.
A touchscreen that can be operated with gloves sounds exciting enough, but Nokia claims there's more to the new Lumia screen. There are promises of excellent brightness and outdoor visibility, as well as increased responsiveness and smoother scrolling.
