The styling of those tiles looks absolutely cheesy. It's like they tried to make it appeal to little kids or something.
Awesome hardware. Positively corny OS.

IMO, the Nokia Lumia 920 is the first truly worthy adversary to the iPhone! (Pics)

Nokia has always been making great phones when it comes to build quality and finesse of the final product. Nokia have been the best built phones in market aside from Apple's. WP8 looks like a great OS and unlike previous WP flagships, the 920 actually has good hardware to go with the excellent WP software. The only thing lacking is a good app ecosystem which is a major deal killer, but I guess Metro will get more popular with the release of Win 8 later this month, so there's a good chance we'll see a lot more WP8 apps, but Nokia/Microsoft still have their work cut out for them if they want to compete with Apple or Samsung
Grrrr.....
Well I guess I will not be getting the Lumia 920 as it is going to be an AT&T exclusive. I think that Nokia is making a big mistake not making this phone available on Verizon immediately.

Nokia has a spotty CDMA record so I'm not surprised. I think it's a mistake though
Can Nokia really afford to play the exclusivity game in the U.S? They've left it wide open for HTC and Samsung to clean up on all other carriers when it comes to Windows Phone.
Yeah, this seems like a terrible, terrible idea. I just don't understand how this could have happened? This is Nokia's last chance. If the 920/820 don't sell well... they're gone. Would have put money down that it wasn't going to be an exclusive. Oh well.
No, apple has been working with its screen partners to bring the first in-cell multitiouch screens to the market. They've been developing the technology for years now, in the labs since 2007 at least:

Using the circuitry that is already there behind the screen (meaning those responsible for making the screen work) to detect multi-touch capacitive input? That's genius engineering.
I am not a fan of the tiles either, but the problem is if they copy anybody they'll end up getting sued. Nobody else has live tile.
The Nokia 900 I had was not a comfortable phone to hold onto or have in your pocket. It's wide, heavy, thick and clunky with sharp edges. For that reason alone I think a lot of people pass on it. The 920 doesn't solve any of that.
I have a big hand, so it fits my hand nicely, but the Lumia 900 is a little too tight for my jeans. But don't trust my words. You should go check it out when they release the 920 in November
As a huge Lumia fan.....
Maybe. But a flat back, like on on the iPhone 4 has one HUGE advantage:
I can put it on a table, type, and it doesn't wobble.
This advantage counts more then whatever feeling can get while holding it.

I'm not sure if this is the 820 variant (just leaked model codenamed "Atlas"), but I certainly hope not. If this is what Nokia thinks they can pass off on the Verizon masses as their return to the US market, they have already failed.
Its the same BS with carriers wanting their own look and name and Nokia is caving. I loved it when Samsung told them no and made the GS3 the same for all.
T-Mobile is getting the 810 which is almost the same as the 820 but TMo has no LTE. The 810 at least looks good.

The HTC won't have the Nokia Drive car navigation included. A strong buy point for me.
Fair point. There are smaller Lumias too, Lumia 820 i.e.
thats verizone phone looks disgusting
Mhm, the 820 looks a little boring. The 822 looks ugly, wouldn't buy it. Pity they don't go on with the Lumia 800 design.
