Just had a quick look at the 620. Kinda had my eye on the 800 but it might just be worth waiting it out till the 620.

Yeah I'd get a 620 over the 800 too. Design might not be as nice but hey, it's a WP8 device!
Noticed that with mine too yesterday with a lot of 3G browsing, happened to me just above the camera lens when held in portrait.
8X does that too.
Cheers. I think I will wait it out then. Looks like a cool little phone and just what I want. The Live/Win 8 stuff will be nice but I am not a power user for phones, so the 620 should fill my need.

As if there wasn't enough proof that Google considers Microsoft to be it's true competitor.

Do no evil, indeed.
If Microsoft was in position to drop their services from Google products, they totally would. I mean at this point, it's just a matter of time if WP is successful.

it is?
Difference being Microsoft doesn't portrait itself as some benevolent entity.
Google is a fraud.

I don't think that's obvious at all.

If this was the other way around we would have multiple threads proclaiming how shity Microsoft is.
Nope.

Nope what? That Microsoft is not shitty? I don't see anything wrong with what Google is doing. It is their services, but the do no evil thing is load of shit. They are just as greedy as the next corporation.
After using both for a while (but owning the 920), I'm extremely happy with the 920.
-Much better camera
-Better-supported nokia apps
-Twice the storage
-Half the price
-Better screen (including super sensitive touch so I can use it with gloves on, which I've already done quite a bit)
I got used to the size and weight really quickly. I wouldn't ever want to give up the advantages to the 920 for a lighter and thinner phone.
Sound good. I have a 900, so the weight shouldn't be too much of an issue.

you'll like the 920. It's a much better feeling phone than the 900 as well.

I honestly don't understand Google sometimes, but of course press will use this to bash Windows Phone some more

I suppose I must be OK with the fact that I only use Google services for YouTube and that only. Gmail is secondary and just there for YT.
I think I know where Google's priorities are... They don't want a three-horse race, don't they?

Nope, its the reason they have been going out of their way as of recently to proclaim MS and Apple in bed together. I'd say that the only reason they are putting up with Apple is because of maketshare. Google, as a business, would prefer to be the only horse in the race. Same goes for Microsoft and Apple.

Editorial: Does Windows Phone even have a chance without Google?
It depends on what Google means by:
Although I believe that If he gets it either this month or next month and sets it up, he should be fine. Worst case scenario is that he creates a MS Account and forwards all his gmail to the MS Account.

Well I've been putting off moving to my outlook.com address, looks like Google will force my hand when I get my next handset.

So I am now 1/2 done on my game. What i'm finding interesting is all of the little design decisions that have to be taken into account; especially around how the buttons need to be designed around. It's interesting, especially since I'm new to the platform as well. It's giving me a greater appreciation for how MS set up the Metro design.

Aside from the curved screen on the 920, I think the 900 feels better in the hand.
