Welcome back, Nokia!

The smartphones are getting better, faster and more powerful. First of all, one must of course mention the iPhone. It has revolutionized the market and the other manufacturers have long used to unlock. The Samsung Galaxy has achieved this and is also very successful. And Nokia? Nokia was already written off in the past 2-3 years. At least the former world leader was totgeschrieben. Obsolete software, no innovations, the image of Subventionsabgreifern (See Bochum ...), etc. One of the situation but was aware and took the difficult step of replacing its own operating system and to focus on Windows Phone a year ago. Very brave. In addition there were other changes.

Meanwhile, the Nokia mobile phones and smartphones are among the most environmentally friendly and wiederverwertbarsten devices. See Greenpeace report etc. These details came out that employees have received in the Bochum closure a very high compensation (an average of 80,000 euros). If you consider that Samsung and Motorola have also closed their plants in Germany after they get subsidies and the employee have dismissed with much less compensation, it's been surprising is why often just called Nokia. Anyway, Nokia has made hard cuts and is still in the process to consolidate. They also have a lot of strength to invest in its new Lumias to the last I'm now. The official release I could get hold of one in white.

Here are my pros and cons medium:

+ The new operating system Windows Phone 8 is incredibly fast and beautiful. No Geruckel as unfortunately often at Android. It acts as a unified whole and is refreshingly unlike iOS or Android. On exact details of Windows Phone 8 I will not go, because there are enough reports.
+ It is loaded with wireless Charging Plates that can be bought.
+ The camera is the best ever built camera in a smartphone. In daylight, it offers top average. At dusk and at night, the camera is unbeatable and sets new standards. In addition, now is still to come out, which is to improve the visual images also again an update.
+ The video camera is equipped with an optical image stabilizer. Videos look like on a tripod filming. Unique and so far the results terrific.
+ It can be operated with gloves. Now, especially in winter very useful.
+ The Lumia 920 is one in my eyes the most beautiful smartphones on the market. For this very handy.
+ Skype is integrated into the phone. (Not yet available, Skype has announced for the next few weeks)
+ The display is so far the highest resolution available smartphone in the world. Pure Motion HD + 1280 x 768 pixels on 4.5 inches and with a PPI of 331 (higher than iPhone). Very sharp resolution in direct comparison with my HTC Titan (480x800).
+ The new Windows Phone 8 features live apps that update on the lockscreen. Weather, Facebook, Live Scores in soccer etc. updated on the lockscreen, which means you need only look at the Lockscreen and immediately having to unlock a lot of information without the phone and go to the jweilige App. This function is extremely practical.
+ Nokia Apps are a class of its own. Offline navigation at no extra charge. City Lens, you hold the phone like a camera in front of him on the screen and stores, attractions, etc. are displayed. The camera apps are also class. It may consist of several photos the best things to cut out and tinker to a photo, or you can shoot a moving picture in which, for example, move only the arm (Cinema grams). Nokia Maps is quite mature. Better than Google Maps in my opinion.
+ Processing is at the highest level. Nothing is loose or knartscht, no cleavage mass, but a massive and manageable block.
+ It is very fast and has also LTE on board and can use all the frequencies and is not limited LTE-capable as the iPhone. 5
+ Curved glass looks extremely classy by the reflections.
+ 32GB + least 7GB in the cloud.
+ HDD mode possible. Simply connect to the computer and the mobile phone is recognized immediately in the Explorer and you can drag and drop the files such as videos, photos or documents back and forth.
+ NFC capable, but do not see any benefit so far

o There is no SD card slot, but 32GB + 7GB cloud rich basically out completely
o There are a lot of apps, more than 125,000. Whether Spotify, football, Amazon, N-TV, eBay, 90elf, German railway, German Post, Screenrush, Groupon, Lieferheld, a full-fledged Office to edit Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc, etc. In some cases, there are only Apps for iOS or Android. For example Instagram.
Nevertheless, there is basically everything because there is an alternative app to any missing app developers jump now yes only propagated to the Windows Phone train on. If you consider that the average user has installed 30 such apps, it becomes relative again, that there is "only" 125,000 apps to choose from.
o It may be too hard for some people something. 185gramm are not really a problem, but the average score of the other flagships is about 140gramm.

- It has no LED light that flashes for as missed calls
- In the Phone vibration rattles a bit. This is probably due to the moving camera lens and can not be solved otherwise.
- The battery lasts a maximum of two days at intensive use (the first charge held about 31 hours), for a smartphone but very good.

Those were the pros and cons and the average aspects. Voice quality is good, but I'm here now no expert. Reception I had in the short time previously Anyway, have not noticed any particular changes. To illuminate my background, my last mobile phones were the HTC HD2, HTC Desire, Omnia 7, Iphone 4, Sensation XL, HTC Titan and now the Lumia 920. I know therefore relatively well with all major operating systems from. My last Nokia I had about 15 years ago and I could not imagine ever again to buy one. In my curiosity and the many hours of research with respect to this mobile phones, but I have to say now that I never so much a phone as the Lumia 920. These wanted meets and exceeds my expectations there. Welcome back, Nokia! The Lumia 920 you is a great, innovative and gorgeous mobile phone has succeeded and there is an absolute recommendation from me.
