I’ve had the Nokia Lumia 920 for three weeks and there have certainly be a some highlights of using the Windows Phone 8 system. Here are some of my final thoughts about the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The device is too big. Measuring at 70.8mm wide by 130.3mm tall and with a 4.5″ screen, the device as a whole was just too big for me, even with my large hands! My family and girlfriend held the device and it was too big for them as well. I’m used to being able to used a phone with one hand. With my HTC Wildfire S and Apply iPod Touch (4th Gen) I can do this easily and I rarely encounter any issues. However I regularly end up touching the back and search buttons with the palm of my hands as I reach across to the screen with my thumbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wouldn’t mind hitting the back button by accident if the apps within WP8 saved drafts. The text message and Twitter apps don’t save drafts if you accidentally leave the app half way through typing a message. This annoyed me a fair amount and would be something that I miss from iOS and Android.<\/p>\n\n\n

On the subject of buttons and doing things accidentally, the keyboard layout wasn’t quite what I expected. I would often type a comma instead of a space in the middle or end of a sentence. I expected the space bar to be slightly wider. I’m not the only one to experience this inconvenience, as my girlfriend also comes across that issue on her Nokia Lumia 800.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On my three other posts during my trial, I have also commented about some great features like the camera and video and also the way it integrates easily with Facebook and Twitter. Here are the other posts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
