From the Forums: Lumia 920 defect and Windows Phone love stories

It'southward another weekend and another From the Forums. Nosotros'll be taking a gander at what's been happening through the weekend, presenting y'all with the latest and greatest discussions that our readers take been engaging in. So what's new in the world of Windows Phone here at Windows Phone Central?

WPCentral reader Tetegra has noticed a possible defect with the Lumia 920 where the superlative of the device (where the screen meets the frame) flexes when pressed down. Our own Kevin Michaluk has also shared concerns of this upshot, which is described as the following:

"The first fourth dimension I noticed information technology I almost thought information technology was a push. On my BlackBerry Dev Alpha device, the power on/off button is located at the top of the phone in the center, so I accidentally did the aforementioned matter on my 920 one time and noticed it clicked. Then I was like... what the heck?! There's definitely a noticeable up/down movement with a bit of a click to it. To the right of the sim card slot, more over and even a bit to the right of the headset jack is where there's the most noticeable feel of a click. I didn't notice this on my first Lumia 920 (onto my second ane now)."

I've tried to reproduce the result with the white Lumia 920, just could not hear a clicking or observe the flexing of the device itself. Many accept voiced concerns in the thread on the forum, but others have denied noticing such characteristics.

Question is: take you got the aforementioned issue with your Lumia 920? Be sure to read up more on the potential defect and add your $0.02 to the "Attention! Possible Lumia 920 design defect" thread.

Nosotros're not ones to blow our own trumpets when it comes to Windows Phone (no, really, nosotros're not!), but many threads have been created most bug new consumers accept experienced with the platform. We've also had a number of love stories where new owners have been impressed by what Microsoft has to offer. Awgneo had the following to say well-nigh his feel so far:

"I recently bought a Nokia Lumia 920, having been a fairly advanced iPhone user since the 3G. I have to say that I accept a new friend in my life. The start screen is such an crawly idea and I enjoy the ways that I tin customize it to meet my exact smartphone needs and even my personality. Anyhow, after having this phone now for several days, I idea I'd share the apps that I have discovered through trial and mistake and employ daily, coming from the iOS 6 ecosystem. I am happy to say that nearly every feature or awarding that I enjoyed on iOS vi has a good OS or awarding equivalent in Windows Phone viii."

Nosotros've seen a big number of consumers who enjoyed using the iPhone move beyond to Windows Telephone, and information technology's positive stories like these that brand Windows Phone a worthy contender against competitors with satisfied users. While the platform has its issues, Microsoft will be patching everything up as we motility along.
