Criteria Comments Rating
  • Reception and call quality With the inclusion of HD Voice on the EE network, calls are great, but they're great by deafult too. great!
  • Display Looks bright and colours look accurate. great!
  • Battery life Have had a few problems optimising, but now it seems good. good
  • Camera One of the key selling factors. It takes phenomenal photos and videos. Dark environments come out looking great in photos. Video stablisation is epic. great!
  • Ease of use Windows Phone has a lot to improve on, but it's totally efficient. good
  • Design and form factor It's hard to let go of. great!
  • Portability (size / weight) Sure it's heavy, but it feels right. good
  • Media support The music and video players are clumsy. No proper YouTube app. so-so
  • Durability You can hammer in nails with the screen and smash it with a hammer. Should be good. great!
  • Ecosystem (apps, accessories, etc.) Lacking a lot of imperative and crucial apps at time of writing: Dropbox, HulloMail, Google stuff, battery/data usage monitors, browsers. so-so
Detailed review
A lot of effort has gone in to try and make the platform relevant, and it pretty much is now. The device is beautifully designed and practical to use (despite being a little heavy, it feels good).
The OS needs a lot of features and apps added.
Skype has been sabotaged on Android on purpose as the WP8 app is great.
I already have an iPhone4 and upgraded to the Lumia920 from a Galaxy Nexus. Hardware wise it is significantly better than the annoying plasticky feel of the Samsung devices and the poor button positioning. Software wise, I miss a lot of stuff from Android, but I'm hopefully it will make its way to WP8 soon enough.
