Poll: iphone 5 vs SGSIII vs Lumia 920

jimmy_t

So there has been a lot of hype about the iphone 5 and lumia 920 in the last few weeks and today I noticed what I can only imagine is a heavily distorted poll on wired.com so I think we should have a poll to see what the boardsies think...

it would also be interesting to know if you do think the 920 is as big a winner as the wired poll says it is and why?

Poll closes at 16-12-2012 at 17:21, do we really need to wait months? Wouldn't a week or 2 be fine

can you not view the results until it closes? I'll just set the poll to always show? I thought you could view it after you voted...

I would have just waited for a day or two. This thread will be long forgotten in 2 weeks time.

Poll is viewable now at any time

A Cyan Nokia Lumia 920 for me.

I'm not a fan of Windows phones but Nokia does make great hardware.
Toss-up between that and the ip5

Currently own a Samsung Galaxy 2. It's a great phone but my head would be turned by the Nokia if it lives up to the hype. Absolutely no interest in the iphone.

Am I the only one who noticed the weight of the Nokia?

No why? I think I'll be able to manage lifting the extra 2oz :P

Nearly 7 ounces is a savage weight for a phone well above average. You'll notice it swinging in your pocket.

Lets be honest 7 ounces is not a savage weight, if you have a problem with an extra 2oz the phone is not for you. I'd be suprised if your keys or your wallet doesn't weigh more than 7oz. Also most people put on covers that would make their current phone bigger and heavier than 7oz. If anything it would be the size that some people would have a problem with.

My Rolex weighs more than the phone! :pac:

I use a play and that's on the heavy end of phones, The Nokia is even heavier. It's going to feel like a brick compared to the iphone5.

Yellow or Red 920 for me please.

Yellow, cyan or white Lumia 920 for me. Windows Phone beats Android and iOS already, with WP8 it will be brilliant.

I think windows phone is aesthetically my favourite of the three but it has a long way to go before I'd consider it. I like iPhone hardware but until I can use widgets and settings toggles and change the keyboard etc I could never switch to that platform. Android is, in my opinion at least, the most versatile OS so I'm gonna stick with my s3 for the foreseeable future

At this stage I'd need to have my hands on all three to make a decision.

Everything from the interface to the specs is now too close to decide on the basis of past form or user reviews.

The Lumia wins out on looks as far as I can see, but I have my doubts that a Windows OS can work at the same level of smoothness and intuitiveness as iOS.

A cyan 920 for me I reckon, although I'll probably wait for the early reviews first.

Yes Cyan does seem to exist http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/17/3347780/nokia-lumia-920-cyan-color-teaser-video

Currently an iPhone 4 user, former android and symbian.
Always liked the look of windows phone and I think desktop windows 8 will drive some more app development for it.
The iOS app ecosystem is hard to beat but I'll still have an iPad.

I've a GS3 But my next is the lumia 920 for sure.

Mother of god the iPhone is taking a hammering, it will be interesting to see if the Nokia really is that popular, I'm finding it hard to believe but time will tell.

Alanstrainor

920 for me, undecided on colour!

IPhone 4s user, thinking about moving to the Lumia.

Would love a 920 Cant wait until they come out.

The Nokia is way heavier but for me its a good trade off if the camera is really that good. The wireless charging probably adds to the weight, but is another pretty cool feature. I think thats why the iPhone is losing out: there's no killer feature or gimmick.

The Galaxy S3 has wireless charging, it's just the docking pad hasn't been released yet

Doh. Was thinking about the Lumia til I read that it's 32gb with no memory card slot. I'll stick with my 64gb 4S for now - just have too much music.

Yeah but it's worth it when you have Nokia's Mix Radio service. The best music streaming service around since it's available without any sign-in, curated by music professionals. Also allows you to download four genre stations to the phone for offline listening.
