The editors didn't like
Phone is heavy
Heavier than the Galaxy Note II
Windows Phone 8's ecosystem still feels limited
OS is locked down
Like iOS
And Android
Though a locked OS makes it safer and poses less security risks to viruses
Camera can still require some configura
Very heavy and bulky
App ecosystem remains deficient
Some issues with LTE reception
The PureView camera underperforms during the day
Resulting in soft photos with muted colors. Phone may be too big for some but the weight issue is overstated. Limited carrier availability
Bulky build and has fewer app options than other smartphones
Huge and heavy. Windows Phone has fewer and different apps from more popular platforms
A thick
Heavy build and slippery finish for some colors make the Lumia 920 harder to hold and carry
And the phone's overhyped camera doesn't have enough settings.
Windows Phone app selection lags behind the more established competition from iOS and Android
Windows Phone app selection l
Heavy
Limited WP8 apps
Lacks comprehensive photo editing options
Expensive
Heaviest smartphone on the market
Gets very hot
Battery runs down fast
AT&T LTE stinks
Size and weight of handset may be a drawback for some users
Software is still lacking some popular apps and features
It's big — time to reconsider the aversion to salads? Windows Phone still low on apps compared to iOS and Android. Camera's preview mode is weird
So images may turn out different than expected
A bit large and heavy
No removable battery
Not available on all carriers
Nokia can do much better when it comes to camera sensor imaging quality
Nokia Drive doesn't work with the Speech UI
Nokia Maps isn't as well-integrated as Bing Maps
Purchasin
App Store is embarrassing
Casing (at least the matte one) is prone to scuffs
Core apps need work
Limited availability
No micro SD
Bulky feeling
Nagging call quality issue
Image quality can't match iPhone 5 for daytime shots. Syncing large quantity of photos can be slow on Mac. Many developers slow to update apps for Windows Phone 8. Mac sync app requires OS X Lion or higher
Some might find it too heavy
Bulky build. Fewer app options than other smartphones hinder the phone's full potential.

the Lumia 920 has an excellent camera—one of the top found on any phone today, especially in low-light situations where other cameras easily fall short. Ironically it is during “normal” situations (e.g. well lit) where the Lumia 920 becomes simply medio...

Abstract: I've made no secret of the fact that I've liked Windows Phone since it reached its milestone 7.5 (Mango) release, so I was keen to see what Microsoft would deliver with Windows Phone 8. Plus, whatever the root of Nokia's recent struggles , its hardware de...

Abstract: As regulars will know, I'm a fan of Nokia's hardware design, and I've liked Microsoft's mobile OS ever since it hit 7.5 (Mango). So I decided to spend a week using the Lumia 920, Nokia's flagship Windows Phone 8 handset, as my main phone to see what the t...
Abstract: Before you even take the Nokia Lumia 920 out of the box you can tell it’s a standout device. The first Windows Phone 8 handset to hit the market, the smartphone has a distinctive look that extends past the characteristic design of the Windows Phone ope...
Abstract: The support for higher resolutions is part of a wider package of hardware upgrades that arrive with Windows Phone 8, but it is undoubtedly the most noticeable, at first glance. The higher resolution makes the UI look crisper, but the biggest benefits are...
Abstract: The Lumia 920 no doubt packs a bit of heft at 185g (6.52oz) and a thickness of 10.7mm, but it's a far cry from the complaints several pundits have issued recently. In fact, I find that its bulk actually makes it feel rock solid, like the Nokia phones we a...

Beautiful screen. Exclusive apps including free driving and transit directions. Excellent video recorder.
Huge and heavy. Windows Phone has fewer and different apps from more popular platforms
One of the first handsets shipping with Windows Phone 8, the big, beautiful Nokia Lumia 920 is the most powerful, versatile option available. But the phone itself is overgrown, and the platform has some growing to do....

It kills me to say this, because I wanted to own this instead of an iPhone 5, but no. No you shouldnt. Its too big and heavy. Its not fun to own. Its not enjoyable to use. If you want a Windows Phone, check out the very good HTC 8X. But this? No, not...
Abstract: In late March 2012, the tide seemed as though it was about to turn for Microsoft's ( MSFT ) Windows Phone platform. After a year and a half of struggling, the “first real Windows Phone” was about to launch in early April and change the smartphone landscap...
