How does that phone compare with the budget 620 from Nokia?

I feel like a free human Google search server sometimes.

Being budget minded I'm looking at the HTC Windows 8S

But I have heard of some problems with random rebooting and lockups with the GMail client on the Windows 8 Phones. Which is why I'm gonna wait for 8.1

One has an SD card slot, the other doesn't. Ditto removable battery... neither phone has all the features. And the 920 is pretty large physically.

Anyway let us know if you get one.

The screen looks much better on the 920 though and it was wireless, charging. There is not that much difference in price a few bucks a month so will go for the 920.

Haha, Had a quick look and there isn't a hug difference between them. 820 seems to be more available and cheaper.

Is this on their 4G network?

It's a 4G phone with a company that is only known because they can offer 4G. Do you really need to ask?

Thanks for that, I just visited the EE store at lunchtime. Played with the 920 and it is a lovely phone. EE can do a business contract 24 months first 920 free second is 50 quid, monthly cost £40 for 4GB data shared and unlimited calls, going to go for that.

Havent got the 920 yet but my Lumia 710 is pretty good. The OS is very very slick compared to Android. Apps eco system might get better over time. But the hardware is very good, very stable and battery lasts days instead of hours.

I have the 920 from EE. It's a fantastic phone though I had to reset to factory settings yesterday because of a problem with email.

It's quite large, I've got small hands so I often find I use two hands to type messages or emails. The battery life is ok, I'm charging once a day though I do use the email, wifi etc often.

The screen is very good and large enough to replace my kindle for casual reading. The OS runs smoothly, everything feels instant.

The included Nokia apps are pretty good, including the free mix music that you can listen to and download. Nokia groups music by mood, type etc and call this "mixes". A limitation is that you can only skip 6 songs within an hour.

The handset feels pretty solid, honestly I can't stop playing with the thing. I've downloaded pretty much every app that I think would be useful in some way, skype, twitter, linkedin, zite etc. All run well.

Negatives, only one, I had to reset to factory settings. I hope that it's a one off and just a blip. On the positive side everything was backed up on Skydrive.

So it's a damned good phone and if you can afford it then I recommend it.

No but I like my WP7 phone. Have you read reviews - The Register seemed to prefer the 820 over the 920 for instance?

Not used a W8 phone myself but they look very good (I'm too ingrained in iOS territory to switch), and anyone that I have spoke to has raved about the OS
