I would say you should really have reviewed the nokia 920 against the iphone you are comparing it to or the HTC 8x which is far cheaper than the iphone
I would say the advantages (920) are :
1. fast, modern, stable OS (ios really looking very tired)
2. great build quality and funky modern looks
3. fabulous low light camera (best around by far)
4. hardware image stabilisation gives great video shots without the video judder smartphone video usually has
5. the inbuilt nokia apps are some of the best on any platform .. free nokia music is supers as is free nokia maps and drive ... with google pulling the plug on its maps for ios nokia maps is a great alternative ios doesnt have
7. decent battery life on full pelt compared to the iphone5 etc
disadvantages
1. its heavy
2. unless you have big hands its pretty bulky (necesary for the hardware camera image stabilization mechanism to fit in the funky plastic body)
3. like the iphone and many android smartphone(not the Sammy Galaxy S3/4) , you cant replace the battery
4. there are a handfull of key apps not on windows phone yet that are on ios/android
5. no vpn on windows phone YET - come on MS this makes it useless for business or using the wifi in public wifi hotspots
note I.R.O the size having a large screen is far better for using office (fr better than the iphone for example) but the downside is you cant exactly tuck it in your jeans pocket
I'm due an upgrade soon
And I can't decide which phone to get. I love Microsoft Office and I'm fairly nostalgic about Nokia and I wanted a big screen although I was thinking of Samsung Galaxy Note II for the size of the screen. So now I've got another phone to throw into the mix....
make sure you check yourself out in the mirror calling with the Note 2 first its huge ! .. i know a lot of older business ppl that carry this around as well as a phone purely becuase its a huge screen and their eyes are getting old !
Android doesnt have MS office on it only windows phone
if you want a smartphone for calling and data then i would audition the Nokia 920 (nokia drive and maps are great value added as is MS office), Samsung Galaxy 4 (so thats the 4 ie the new model just out) and of course the iphone 5 (be aware a new slightly updated model is coming soon so better to wait for this if you can)
I have the nokia 920 in funky red (or i should say had until my eldest niece grabbed it for herself) so i'm back to an old windows phone 7 until my new one arrives, as i say though be aware the nokia is bulkier and heavier than the sammy 4 or iphone5
the nokia 920 camera is amazing though in low light .. and i do love windows phone o/s :-)
in respect of the 820 .. the mobile networks are knocking the HTC 8x out for the same price as the 820 and its a far far better windows phone smartphone (920 peer) so i would go for the 8x rather than the 820
