I was in the same boat. So now I just need to choose a Color...
Hard to say at this point without direct comparison tests.
However the specs are seemingly better on the 920:
- 8.7 mp vs 8.0 (though we all know MP doesn't really matter)
- 2.0 aperture vs
- OIS vs none
Other than that, they both have LED flash, autofocus, 1080p recording @ 30fps. Both of their FFC are 1.2 mp @ 720p and 30 fps.

freshair missed the Floating lens tech.
iPhone is f2.4 not 2.2.
That was OIS
The iPhone's aperture is 2.4, and given that is essentialy the same as the 4S camera (Apple themselves said so) you should see this kind of diference in night shots:
Lumia 920
iPhone 4S/likely 5 too

Yeah, I'm just gonna go ahead and assume that the Lumia 920 will have a better camera.
Damn, these pics taken by the iPhone5 look incredible. I hope that the 920 can stack up, because if they look better... holy crap.
The best way to gauge the quality of the iphone camera is by the pictures people take of themselves in the mirror.
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
Besides beating the iPhone 5 on camera, pixel density, resolution, and wireless charging, the Lumia will have the best touchscreen on a smartphone. Faster refresh and the crazy touch tech that you can use a glove with.
Does the 5 even have NFC? If not, pile that up on the list above.
Get ready for two months of Apple folks touting how important weight and thickness are. Gotta win on something.

Lol, yeah it is missing NFC.
But you have to hand it to Apple, if you have girl hands the iPhone is a good choice.
e: Yeah, those pics are pretty good considering how fucked up the firmware on the 900 ended up being.
Yeah, my point is that with the right light conditions (as I am sure those 900 and iPhone 5 pics had) any capable smartphone could take good to very good day photos, so is 99% sure that the 920 will take good day photos, where it is unmatched is in low light conditions
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
Daylight shots are gimmes for today's smartphones. I hate the camera on my Focus S, but give it some daylight and the results are pretty awesome.
Even the Lumia 900 can match those photos:
Seriously, how do people take pictures with dof? because I can't seem to be able to do it. Is there something special or setting that you have to set or something?
Three's company. I seriously thought Apple would at least knock something out of the park, where they...changed everything. Again. But everything they brought to the table was more or less catch up to what's already there. It honestly felt like a Windows Phone press conference for the past two years.
Also, kinda like the idea of a decent little picture to post for anyone switching. Needs to be a little funny. Already a bunch of soon to be ex-iPhoners are making switch announcement posts in the Nokia press conf. thread. Talking with family and friends today, a ton of them are saying they'd love to switch, but just can't because of the app investment they've already put in. Huge testament to Apple, that ecosystem has quite a pull.

use the touchscreen to manually set the focus. you might be more lucky with that for dof compared to the camera button
It's coldfoot, nothing surprising.
so no active tile thing invention from apple?
....if only some company would think of that. I can't wait until Apple invents it, coins it with a novel name, and runs ads showing everyone how awesome the feature is.
Hey guys, I was thinking about jumping back on Windows now that my contract is up for renewal. I just wanted to know if it supported texting in Arabic yet. My Android will type and show Arabic but it won't connect the letters so it's annoying to read.
I really dislike iOS, so I'm hoping they aren't the only ones supporting the language.
Also did they ever add in custom ring tones and all that other stuff that was missing at launch?

Well they invented a bunch of ther stuff today. Extra row of tiles, panorama, Facebook integration, console graphics, and earbuds that direct sound INTO the ear. Let's give credit where credit is due.
Here's some Arabic info, don't know if it is exactly what you are looking for.

Custom ringtones are currently present.
Wait for the Windows Phone 8 devices, they should land in less than two months.
It was all good until Nokia released a phone that is more attractive to many than the new iPhone. Now you all will have to be the 'enemy' too. GL with that.
I seriously enjoyed the ridiculous downplaying of NFC, Wireless charging, and the great great touchscreen enhancements Nokia made. All of a sudden all those advancements became 'trivial stuff noone cares about'.
It's all about thinness, weight, and app selection now. The list is getting smaller at least. First registry complaint I've heard though.
It is better.
You definitely have to give the nod to the iphone when it comes to ecosystem and I'm guessing the CPU and GPU of the 5 are better than the S4 in the 920, but the 920 has a bigger and better screen, better touch capabilities, better camera (and a hardware button!), NFC, inductive charge, and a modern OS that truly belongs on a widescreen device.

It doesn't seem to have affected the tech blogs views at all from what I have seen. They all seem to think the device is the bee's knees.
Really? WTF is wrong with them haha
Lol, it does look like a nice device though.

You have to understand what we're dealing with here. Someone made a thread about how innovative the new iPhone's charger/accessory port is...and he was serious.
That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
I read the A6 is only getting 2x the performance over the A5 in the 4s. How does that compare to the S4? I thought that the S4 was over 2x as fast as the A5...
Only? 2x is pretty good man haha. Isn't that about the normal delta between each generation? It should be roughly equivalent to the S4 (perhaps slightly better). The A6 GPU kicks the crap out of the S4 though haha.
The CPU in the 5 isn't. It is a dual core underclocked A9. Wikipedia says it is only 800 Mhz. If that is our case, our 1.5 GHz S4 probably does kick the crap out of It (roughly double the clock and more efficient). The GPU more than makes up for it though.
The CPU and GPU on the 5 is better than anything right now except the PS Vita (which is basically the same), so even if its only 2X the performance of the A5 it is still better than current competition but not by a huge margin.
