Yes, Suman is absolutely right. Stephen Elop has all the way acting as if he is a Microsoft employee and using all Nokia resources just to boot WP marketshare/ecosystem. He is robbing Nokia like anything. Nobody can imagine how much loss Nokia made under his leadership. Unfortunately, Finnish people are not able to understand still. I don’t know the reason.

Even if WP8 becomes successful, how can it gaurantee that Nokia will be in profits? WP8 success is divided into 50% by Microsoft, and remaining 50% by all OEMs ( Nokia / HTC / Samsung , etc ). That means, even if WP8 is a huge success, Nokia will get hardly 20% of that success. Fortunately, WP8 is a junk, wall-tiled OS which nobody cares and wants. So, Nokia is not going to survive long. It has already started selling its assets like vertu, head-office, high layoffs, etc. Die Nokia under Elop, you are worth that only!

Lumia 920 is a great piece of hardware but where it fails is the OS. Windows Phone 8 OS will make it a dumb phone. If it comes with Android, then Nokia will be a huge profits! But, the dirty Microsoft-virus Stephen Elop will never allow Nokia to product Android phones. His only interest is boosting WP marketshare at any cost, even if it calls for using entire Nokia resources.

@jerry, dont try to explain tech details about wp7.5 when you dont know anything about it. wp7.5 an wp8 have a technology thats called thombstoning. if you switch an application the other application is thombstoned, it does not keep on running and draining your battery, thats by design. if you dont have that you will have to “hack” it like the One X does, after a couple of seconds the background application is closed and when you switch to it again then its started again.

PS. Don’t know if I made it clear, but the Lumia 900 won’t run ANY mms programs properly. The software platform closes all applications that are minimized, and closes all apps (except music player) when the screen goes to sleep. Sooo, a “smart” phone that doesn’t work because it’s trying to make it’s battery last longer. And no, you can’t change this setting, because there are precious few settings to choose from in the first place and that was one MS thought people just didn’t need/want.

The 920 does not stand a chance against the S3 – not even close.
I think that Nokia was shot in the foot by Microsoft, so the only people interested in the latest Windows phone would be those who are completely unaware of all the problems MS pushed out the door with Win7 and Mango. MS and Nokia delivered a phone that can’t run Skype (owned by MS), won’t run applications in the background natively, and that has an Office platform with less functionality than the third-party Office app for the BlackBerry. I own the Lumia 900, and can say that my old BB beats it in so many departments that it’s embarrassing.
If you want Microsofts attempt at making their own iPhone, consider the Lumia. Just lower your expectations first.

I think Nokia Lumia 920 is a great looking device and it has a lot of color chices and the display is beautiful. I am not a very big fan of Windows mobile platform but the Nokia Lumia 920 is sure going to be different. So that’s my choice.
