+1 on the Lumia 920. Killer specs, and WP7 is very very good, with WP8 looking even better.

Camera technology in the Lumia 920 alone makes it worth it, but it also has Pure Motion HD and a host of over excellent features, not to mention higher resolution that the competition.

Another phone I was looking at is the Nokia Lumia 920 that's a windows 8 phone. It has some pretty cool features like wireless charging, 332ppi, 8.7 megapixel camera, etc... I don't think it comes out until late October to early November. I've never used a Windows phone before but I hear this is suppose to be a pretty big improvement over previous windows phones.

Yes that phone looks really cool, I like how some critics are already comparing it to the iPhone 5 and gs3, so it must be pretty good.

It's not about hardware. It's about software.

Blackberry 10 wil be an epic fail. No money incentive to develop for it.

I don't think windows 8 will succeed either. Only one thing sells hardware and that's good software. Microsoft and blackberry will not touch Apple. Ever.

I had an s3 and the apps for the camera can't touch camera apps for iPhone. Some good ones but not good as iPhones.

Apple p0wns applications. Hands down.

1 year ago I scoffed at iPhones and Apple with my BB 9930 in my hand. Now I realize what am epic fool I was and how many years I wasted.

The iPhone is FAR from perfect. I could make a 10 minute youtube video laying out all of its shortcomings and bugs. Of which there are many. Not including the farce called iCloud. Or lack of multiple signatures. Or copying and pasting fails. Typing sucks balls but whatever.

Even with all the shortcomings, I gladly forked over $900 for the iPhone 5 today even though it's not that much of an upgrade from a 4s.

Again, though, it's just a stupid phone. Who friggen cares.

Its a great point though. The iOS just works better and smoother than anything. I bought an iPad and have used it every single day now for 2 years. Thats crazy..I dont even use a laptop anymore. I never have slowdowns or crashes..havent thought about jailbreaking the thing. I rooted my stupid droids within weeks because they come loaded with all this nonsense..and there are tons of nerdy steps you have to take.updates..oh wait you went to stock android from Sense and want new radios that have better reception? Reinstall sense,update the radios THEN resintall stock android..I guess people think that is flexibility..I think it is stupid.

I just want a phone that works the same as it did out the box. My EVO LTE rocked for 1 month and now it is a total memory muncher for no reason. Just like the last one..I should have learned..oh well..ill have an iphone 5 in October hopefully.

After some testing of my Iphone 5 and Xperia S , i have come to the conclusion that the Iphone 5 is good for 47% of the time while the Xperia S is good for the remaining 53%

Thank goodness my son uses my Windows laptop, otherwise it would get next to zero use. If I'm not on my iphone, I use my MacBook Air. I always thought all these people that liked Apple computers were just anti-Microsoft. Now I get it, they are pro-Apple. I just love the darn thing except for lack of Flash support which seems absurd on a full blown PC.

Your post is full of contradictions...

Sounds like you're trying to convince yourself that spending that $900.00 was a good investment.

Samsung. Was an iPhone user till I realized I phones for females. I hated iTunes. All the other software choices sucked ***. (I'm a server admin). My Nexus is plug and play Xfer files and I'm out quick.

Free yourself from Apple , sheep. Baaaaaaaaah!

Nexus is a good phone - for server admins who like to gear tweak.

Anyone who says a certain phone is for girls is usually a geek. Nothing personal, but normal people dont think that way. If they are sheep to you, thats fine. I can assure you it goes both ways.

I just can't stand the company that handcuffs its users over and over again, and people buy into it when simplicity is always not key.

having people just use the hardware and software without knowing what goes on is just foolish. you should always know at a glance how something works ie computers so that you can kinda troubleshoot stuff yourself without getting taken to the cleaners by GeekSquad guys and other PC repair places.

I guess I come from the experience of watching innocent consumers getting ripped off needlessly as a company takes advantage of them because they are sold and taught to deal with simplicity.

It's good to stay informed in a competitive market. Getting herded is not always the wise.
