    The new lumia 920 is a sweet phone other then the fact it's on the windows network. That's the only reason i wouldn't buy one. Stick with an Android phone, especially Samsung or htc.

    I used a test model of the Lumia before it was released and was blown away by it. It really is the fastest phone you will ever see, but....as others have mentioned, it uses Windows which has the following limitations 1. Their ap "store" is very limited compared to Android, and fewer aps are free (imaging that). 2. There is no removable media card which for some is a big deal, others not, just something to think about. 3. Windows has been always known as more of a "techy" system, not so user friendly. I did not find this with the Lumia so much, but it is definitely different. 4. It is a Nokia. I love Nokia, best phones in the world (or at least Sweden), problem is, they are going the route of Blackberry and might not be around if a few years if they keep going down the road they are going now, so there may not be support for your phone in the future. No one phone is right for everyone, otherwise they would only make 1. I would just get it at the store if they have a buyers remorse policy that doesn't have a huge restocking fee, try it out, and if you don't like it, take it back.

    My boss just got one and when you talk to her on it, your voice echoes. Almost like she has it on speakerphone but she doesnt.

    She called IT and they said they had a few people who got upgraded to those phones have the same problem. The other people had to call the customer help number to resolve it. They tried that with my boss's but it didnt work. She cant even talk on it.

    If she just got it and is in her buyers remorse period, return it and get a better phone.
