Who are you with? T mobile wanted £149 or £179 (depending upon plan) for my 920 upgrade on uncompetitive tariffs and not in my colour choice either. I did some comparisons on-line and got a free 920 in my preferred colour on a much better T mobile tariff from elsewhere.

Wow a free 820 or £179 for a 920, I love my 920 however I wouldn't pay that much for one.

My upgrade on Tmobile was a 920 for £50 with unlimited texts, 3G and 2000 minutes @£36pm, I went for that.

2 weeks after upgrading, EE rang me and for 1Mb 4G, which is more than enough for me, unlimited texts and unlimited calls to any network and landlines for the same £36 pm with no extra upfront, I switched, when I upgraded originally they offered me the same however wanted £130 upfront, EE also threw in the first month for free.

Nope.

Some people would make out that the 920 camera is a fair bit better, but all it does is create beautifully unnatural low light images.

I'm not actually that impressed with the low light photos tha my 920 produces, I did a comparison with my daughters 4S and I couldn't see all the fuss.

It does have its moments - the OIS allows a much longer exposure and results in considerably less grain (the 4S is diabolical in low light), and low light landscapes from the 920 can be epic. But indoors in a club, its useless. People don't stay still long enough. The OIS does also do an indecently good job of smoothing out video.

Its almost funny that Pureview phase 1 comprehensively betters phase 2 in almost every normal use case, and jumps ahead when you want to get creative with the various controls available.

My old 800 would allow you to send the text message despite the phone being out of range. It would then sit there until it did....now I just get a message saying sorry cant send.

I rather liked that feature.

It seems that way. Now connects to the car when it feels like it.
