Following on from his look at the Windows Phone 8 operating system, The Register's Andrew Orlowski spends some time with Nokia's flagship smartphone, the Lumia 920. There's more to the 920 than the camera, but as Orlowski writes, "This phone should be worth considering for the camera unit alone."

While the press review units in the UK are unlocked to any network, the vast majority of Lumia 920's will initially be sold on the 4G EE network. Is that the only speed increase the 920 offers?

Sod 4G, I thought. This speed boost is really noticeable in the overhauled Windows Phone browser, IE10, which can render a Reg page in a flash, and most complicated newspaper front pages in three to five seconds. The page just seems to flow into place. Browsing looks good too on the screen. The second bonus is HD voice. Calls between the 920 and an iPhone 5 on the same network were terrific. We’re still experimenting with calls across networks, but the story is good so far.

The trade-off between the camera, the weight, and the network exclusivity period, is one of the main factors in Orlowski's review and his final rating of 80% takes those issues into account.
