Still, compared to Galaxy Nexus, the camera of this phone is much smoother movement and shakeless, and easily accessible. In Nexus I have to enter to Camera and then click Video. No shortcut??!!

Hmmm, let me see windows ce, pocket pc, windows mobile, windows phone 7 and 8 (12 years). If you go with Microsoft then you will be under there thumb. Stuck in a closed platform. Will hardly update there os on there phones. Less features, and customization then android. Now android has a number of phones with better hardware than any windows phone (other then the camera on the Nokia 920) but there are some android phones with 12-13 mp cameras.

I finally just watched these videos…he was entirely comparing the camera – hello, it’s a PHONE!!! WTF?

I was really looking forward to WP8, got the HTC 8x, had to return it due to a PDF issue (use them for work) and got the Lumia 822…two days later returned that and settled my new phone fever with a Droid RAZR Maxx HD (to replace my RAZR Maxx)…

WP8 was super fast and in a lot of respects superior to Android and iPhone. The “ecosystem” was on par with iOS, much better than android, but it was too locked down, lacked the overall capabilities of Android, and of course, lacked app choices. And the big one that solidified my decision to ditch it? BING! If MS would allow people to switch the default search from Bing to (heck anything else, Yahoo for gods sake!) they would have a much better chance of success with WP8, but as long as it’s heavily locked down to Bing, IMHO it will be one of the major contributing factors to WP8′s failure.

I just wish my Android phone was as smooth and lag free as WP8 was, I mean, really smooth and really lag free. Too bad other than completely hands free texting (Hello? Google?) that was one of the only real impressive things about WP8.

Pretty much my exact thoughts.

Wrong. 920 defeats it all around, better/bigger screen, better camera, cheaper (50 dollars for me at bb (price matched walmart)), and better os (just playing, ill call them equal). The RAZR M while a good phone is definetely not better them the L920.

Another thing, the GS2 is almost a two year old device, yet it is still compitent. Age is only a number.

SGSIII user here, I think the 920 camera is hands down better from playing around with one briefly. Texting/facepage/twitter is very quick and easy to see and get to I can see the appeal for a lot of people.

unfortunately for them I pretty much have my 5DIII with me all the time and that camera is a little better than the 920. I don’t use any social networking and love doing things with my phone that most people will never do (ex.Tasker, custom skins)

Windows phone isn’t for me, maybe the surface pro will be though.

You’re David and you’re a sucker dad if you bought into that windows phone hype.

FYI just because you have a brand new Rezound doesn’t mean the Rezound is brand new.

Yeah, 1 commercial out of dozens. What about this one, which is brand new. He uses a video game to break through a wall. That’s real life usage right there.

omg this windows phone blows away my Droid 1 from November 2009, pff, I’d hope the new windows phones could blow away 2-3 year old phones or it would make a horrible commercial.

Now that Microsoft and Apple have teamed up against Android, they won’t be going to show how badass the windows phone is against an iPhone. Google”MS and Apple lobbyist” have joined forces to do what ever they can to stop Google by lobbying our representitives.
