If it's just a 920/928 in a "better" (slimmer/lighter) body, I will be disappointed, but it's also kinda what I'm expected. Will be surprised by a spec bump.
I hear you. It doesn't look like we are getting anything great tonight so when I wake up I get to read another underhanded verge article. But I guess that was going to matter no matter what, right?

Official "More than your eyes can see" ad for next Lumia.
So...is it:
1. Even better low light performance?
2. Even higher MP camera?
3. Something else?
920 can already get more light than my eyes in some situations, sooo...

WP team still running out of time for a simple notification system.

Media attention for Nokia and Windows Phone.
This is going to backfire. When you fly to London you expect more than a device with the same specs as your flagship from 6 months ago that got slimmer.

Aside from the Verge, the press has been positive. It was a waste for me, but if you're a t mobile user or a person who wanted a slimmer 920 this will fit the bill.
Now that the 920 variants are out of the way, we can focus on the next gen flagships for Nokia. Lets see what they got. I suspect we will hear something late summer/early fall, right after MS does a conference about Windows Phone Blue.

So I'm assuming the lack of a 920 variant on Sprint is the carrier's fault, right? So glad I'm not with Sprint, they've had the crappiest phone selection for years.
I think I like the design of the 925 over the 928, but maybe only because I'm stuck with Verizon. God they have the worst carrier logo in the game. Hopefully the 928 will last me through the contract period. As it is I can't wait another 5 months right now.
I should just be able to go buy one on Thursday from a Verizon store, right? Anyone have experience with what time they get stock? White or black will be a decision after I can see them both in person.
I haven't bought something tech from a physical store in years, seems weird. lol

I'm on Sprint, and I'm so sad over this.
If I buy I 928 from Verizon off contract, can I use it with Sprint? Both Sprint and Verizon use CMDA or something, no? I really want a Windows Phone with Sprint.
I really want a nokia lumia but I am on sprint by proxy (ting). Even when they do finally get some wp hardware its not going to be nokia and all I am really interested in these days is a nokia lumia.
Gotta sell all those iPhones.

Really dissapointed by the 925
I lost my 920 a couple months back and decided to wait for this announcement in the hope that the 925 would be an upgrade, I wasn't expecting much but I wasn't actually expecting it to be WORSE.
Its uglier than a 920 and actually has worse memory?!
My only complaint with the 920 was that 32gb just isn't enough for me. At a minimum I was expecting the 925 to have 32gb plus micro sd slot to take me up to 64gb.... instead we get 16gb?! What the fuck.
The weight and size of the 920 was actually an advantage for me. It felt strong, sturdy, high quality. The 925 is everything I didn't want...
The only positive I can think of is that the 920 will hopefully come down in price when the 925 hits?
If I don't see a tempting enough drop in price I may jump ship to Android rather than double dip....

If I were you, I'd get a 520 off contract and ride it out until the EOS or whatever next gen Lumia is out this Fall.

*NSFW* This was my tumblr live tile earlier: http://pikchurimages.s3.amazonaws.com/pic_aaFT_l.jpg *NSFW*
I've since had to make the app a small tile. Unbelievable.

Your Joe Belfiore-like tile arrangement is much more shocking.
Why do people do this? It looks so bad.

What are you guys talking about?
How does Joe arrange his tiles that is offensive?

Your tiny little tiles that are sorted around the big tile in the middle. Hated it when I saw it during the reveal. It's basically the reason I tripped balls and raged, when Joe announced the new tile size.
I feel like I'm being sucked into a k-hole.

This is def an option... I do miss my 920 though.
I suppose I can always sell on the 920 later if something better comes along...

Oh.....but I like it. :'(
I use that arrangement for games because it allows me to surround the Xbox hub tile with the games I play the most. It makes sense with the way I use the phone.

I also have it like that, basically since the beginning, might change it though.

So there was talk of "Lumia Color Profile" coming to Nokia. Any ideas whatever happened to that? I picked up an 820 recently and I'm liking everything about it other than the colours. They seem really, over saturated, I guess. It would be nice to tone them down. The colours of the 620 display were much more pleasing.

Nope, got an 820. Any issues I had with the 620 haven't surfaced with the 820, though I still love the 620. Like I said, the only gripe I have is the colours. I know some people give the low resolution a bad rap, but I can live with it. If that colour profile feature were to pop up though I'm sure that could sort it. Though as you say, I think I remember now that it was exclusive to 920s.

It's the Amoled screen. They are always saturated. I am now prefer LCD.
Starting to come around to the look of the 925
Yeah manufacturers set them up to be more saturated, but if Nokia releases that colour profile thing for the 820 you'll be able to correct it somewhat. Might be worth firing off an email to them and see what they say.

looks nice. hopefully to canada
The back is fine (and is a reminder of how nice a matte white 920 would've looked). The aluminum edges aren't.
Edit: Just had a look at Nokoa's FB page. Full of Android begging.

Yeah, that milky matte white is gorgeous. A TRUE SHAME.
