Anyone have their 920/8x in hand?

So, the wife and I went to AT&T this morning to check out the phones. They didn't have the 8x out yet, they said it was still in the back getting prepared for display.

I asked to see the 920 without being on the cord, and she brought a black one (said it was the only color in stock) and it actually felt heavier than the one on the cord. Not that it was overly heavy. The reviewers went overboard on the weight IMO..

The weight was roughlt the same as my atrix with the Otterbox commuter series.
I didn't get to play with the OS enough, and they didn't have the phone fully set up so I couldn't even access the internet or app store with it.

The lady I spoke to was very nice and when we said we think we might wait for Black Friday she said that was probably a wise choice...
I asked her about the wireless charging pad, and the info was on the printout next to the phone, but they didn't have any in stock. The manager said that black was the color of the charger, but mumbled something about being able to specify an order for a different color pad if we wanted, I think.

I really did want to see the 8x as well, but with 2 small kids running around and an impatient wife in a crowded phone store, my time was up. I hope to be able to go back alone another day, but we will just have to see.

Anyone have one in hand, or get to play with one they care to share the info about?

Unfortunately, I didn't even get to try that out either....which I really wanted to. Shame huh?

I plan to go to the other AT&T store to find out more about the feel and use of it.

Awesome info! Thank you much for posting. I have to agree with you on the weight and quality thing though. My wife, (been on iphone since iphone 3) said that the 920, while heavier, was actually more comfortable to hold and use, especially up to your ear.

I have read so many reviews on this phone so they are kind of washing together. I think WPCENTRAL posted the most detailed and accurate review so far. They mentioned the day time camera shots and such as you did. They said Nokia has acknowledged the short comings in the normal light situations and there should be a firmware update to fix this.

The app deal, I agree. Most apps are never used anyway, the main ones should be there, if not now then shortly they will be.

The haptic feedback....I read a review in the last few days (one of many) so I can't remember which one it was. I think either there is a hidden option to turn that on, or it is going to be in an update from Windows, as is the update to have a notifications bar put into the OS.

Between all these reviews and all my school work, I am kind DUHHH!! So, forgive me on the lack of details.




The 1g of RAM, if on an Android phone, I too would be concerned, but not on iphone or W8P. These OS' are much better optimized and more smooth in comparison to ICS or JB.
As far as swipe, I haven't read, nor experienced anything about that, but my experience is limited. The wife strongly suggested we wait until Black Friday to pick up ours..

I know you didn't ask, but BB10 is supposed to have tons of swipe features. It has the same specs as the Optimus G and is a greatly optimized OS as well. One of the more secure ones too. Even with BB7, I still haven't seen an email interface as good as BB's. Check out crackberry.com.

As a consumer, I really am excited about all the advancements and competition we are seeing in the mobile market right now.
