Nokia Lumia 920 first impressions

Coming from a Samsung Focus running Windows Phone 7.8 background, my first impressions:

  • Faster Web browsing as pages rendered quickly.  Ditto for PDFs
  • No need to plug into computer to update operating system software as was necessary for WP7 and need for Zune
  • Larger screen is good but expected to be able to put more Live Tiles on screen, that is, 5 small tiles across rather than 4 as with Samsung Focus.  Tiles almost look too big
  • Sharpness of resolution appreciated - back to what I was used to with 4th generation iPod Touch 
  • Camera is disappointing in terms of sharpness but need to test further with latest Lumia updates 
  • Weight of phone is hefty but I think should be something manageable.  I notice when I think about the weight of my Focus in hand, even though it is an extremely light phone like the iPhone 5, it begins to feel weighty when you deliberately think about its weight
