| Nokia Lumia 920 with PureView leaks |
| By Thom Holwerda on 2012-08-31 11:37:39 |
| Where can I order? "Nokia's new flagship Windows Phone 8 device has been leaked today, revealed as the Lumia 920. Posted to Twitter by Evleaks, the Lumia 920 appears to include a PureView camera that the company has been hinting at in recent weeks. Codenamed the Phi, Nokia's Lumia 920 is said to include a 4.5-inch display and will likely be available in a number of colors judging by the leaked image." Yes miss, the red one please. No, no need to wrap it, don't need bag - I'll have ripped open the box before I go through the door. |

> It's not about the pixel count but about the sensor size and optics and those need to be trimmed preety badly. It was the same with N8 and N9. N9 had 3/4 pixel count of n8 but the quality was in a different league. I wonder how many people there actually are that would rather have a bulkier phone in exchange for better optics and therefore better image quality. All the manufacturers these days seem to focus on making as slim phones as ever possible and the general populace seems to be perfectly happy with that, but if the phones were bulkier the extra space could be used for larger battery, better optics, more storage and so on. |

| do some preemptive work on that micro usb port. That will break if you don't properly fix it right away. |

The bulk of course got nothing to do with the number of pixels but rather the size of the sensor, optics and cooling. Edited 2012-09-01 15:14 UTC |

Even if it's good? Android only feels half-open anyway considering most manufacturers screw it up. Open-source against the manufacturers, rather closed and lacking cool hacks against the consumer. The has probably improved somewhat lately and even if (close to) all the phones except Nexus ones are closed by design at least you can open them yourself. Somewhat. Edited 2012-09-01 15:21 UTC |

Well, I really wanted the Nokia N8 due solely to the fine optics, and especially the xenon flash bulb, but by the time I was ready to get a smartphone (and switch providers, too) it had become too hard to find locally. That phone has quite a bit of extra bulge to support the optics. |

The TV thing is a mischarcterization of the ruling. Samsungs devices infringed on a totality of the design of the iPhone from the shape, to the icons, to the colors, to the design of the box. As a whole the products infringed, not individually. Did the Jury make mistakes? Of course. The verdict form and subject matter was complicated (in fact an article on OSNews even pointed it out) but can it be taken care of by a Judge or on appeal? Of course. We're talking a few million in the scheme of a billion dollars, so it isn't like there was a grand conspiracy. This villainization of the Jury is disgusting. |

I'm not touching WinPhone or iOS, no matter if they are good or not. I simply don't like the companies behind them. Unfortunately, that means even if Android get's ported to Nokia phones, I'll still be very hesitant to buying one even if just to replace WinPhone with Android. This because I don't like giving Microsoft (or Apple) my money. |

> This villainization of the Jury is disgusting. What villainization? Saying that they were not enlightened enough to make a competent ruling on the subject matter does not in any way or form make them villains. |
