http://www.canadagsm.ca/NOKIA/Nokia-Lumia-920-LTE-Windows-8-Rogers/ has the Lumia 920 for $499. Might bite when they get all the issues sorted out.

No. Nono. Nononononononono. No.
In general, the flagship phones actually get updates because the manufacturer knows how important they are since they sold tens of millions of units. If you buy some crappy low-end phone, you better be happy with what you get because it's what you'll have forever.
You can always replace it with the newest cheap shit.
And it's not like WP updates are that important. WP8 took like, 2 years to come out.
And turning battery saver + uninstalling Nokia Drive is going great so far but I am not browsing at the moment. Work time baby.
I finally joined the club yesterday and I am not too sure if this is good or not:
This is with very heavy downloading of apps, browsing and playing games, taking photos and videos!
I think I am happy with that performance although I am not really sure.. I am going to have to give it another charge cycle to see if it improves.
However I am loving the phone oh so much. So much better than this damn thing.

620 purely for WP8, i couldn't buy a WP7 device now unless it was dirt cheap.
alright, just the wait is killing me and my iPhone is dying.
A month ago I would have gone with the 920 but the fucked up launch turned me off completely. I couldn't even get one now if I wanted to.
What about the 820?
It's too expensive for what it is imo. I could go the extra mile with just 150 more and get the superior 920.

That was my favorite Zune, I wish I have kept it. Big giant brown slap of goodness. I abandoned it when I got the first iPhone. : (
Nice, can't wait.

Will it also fix the battery drain and heat issues?
Because this is unacceptable. This is why I will never read any phone review ever. They only talk about some fucking magic polycarbonate shit and not actually use the phone. AT ALL.

has calmed down a bit.
My wife still has the brown Zune 30. Its her in car media player. She is going to cry when it breaks, we've had that thing for a long time now. Zune 30 plus Zune pass is heaven.
Day 3...
I haven't used it as much today but I think the issue was apps being open? But I did reboot multiple times yesterday...
This battery is bizarre...maybe charging it overnight helped?
But still...MS should change the back button behavior or add a real close button/swipe down to close apps because going back multiple times just to close one app is soooooo dumb.

There have been some people noting Nokia Drive being a battery hog. It's still in beta, so that might be an issue.
The battery indicator isn't necessarily accurate right away (and more than likely is not). Some people have said that the following steps helped that indicator be more accurate:
1)Drain completely till powerdown
2)Restart the device till powerdown
3)Charge it.
I have no clue whether that would actually do anything though.
Wait a week until you actually have a feel for the battery...

That freeze bug is quite entertaining. I was just talking with my friend and I noticed, that the screen didn't shut off while I was holding the phone next to my ear. When I tried to lock my phone I couldn't do it.
So, the phone in now unlocked, I can use it however I want, but I can't lock it. I can either turn it off or wait 5 minutes untill it locks itself.

Thats exactly what worked for me.
2x Let the battery fully drain until phone wont power on again
Fantastic battery life.

I went ahead and loaded it on my phone today using navifirm+ to download the update from nokia's servers..
Will report back with any changes in battery life, etc.

How did the Navifirm+ installation process go? Was it easy?

Reasonably easy.. but if I had known that the update was coming officially tomorrow, I'd have just waited.. since the process requires you to wipe when you flash it, whereas the official update process will preserve data.

So I have a Lumia 900 and did a speed test against my friend's iPhone 5 loading up a webpage (espn.com)...the iPhone absolutely smoked it. Why? I mean they're both LTE phones.
Also I thought the Lumia 900 was supposed to have a great camera on it...thing suuuucks. Especially if you're using zoom, at which point you should just forget about it.

I bought a 900 when it was new...but the damn thing is still way less than a year old.Yeah are you really talking the 900?
social media? Please explain, post link to Facebook? Is Nokia actually hosting these gifs? Details please.
Same here. The audio setting now has an auto leveling feature.
No
I didn't know the 900 was supposed to have a great camera, or that it even supported LTE speeds. Those both sound very 920 to me
Post some pics, I want to see the camera improvements.

It certainly has LTE. It does not have the OIS/LowLight benefits of the 920.

WP central has you covered.
I didn't really take pictures with my 920 before the update.
