I have had the Nokia Lumia 820 for about a month now and think it is GREAT! Love the windows 8, spreadsheet, the expansion SD 32G slot and all the different apps. It is fast and just the right size and weight.

At first I really liked this phone and decided to buy it without any research. I've been a Nokia person for years but the constant lack of keeping up with the competition made me wanna switch to Android. Then this phone came out about 20 days ago and I decided to give it one last shot. Boy was I wrong!

This phone looks good, Windows 8 runs great but several issues, one of biggest being (in my case) lousy reception. I mean, people CAN NOT HEAR properly what I am saying and neither can I. Phones I used several years ago had better reception than this. No settings at all to fix this, so I have to repair a brand new phone (and pay for a repair).

Battery life sucks, you have to recharge it every night! Not too many apps, the same ones keep poping out. All of that would be somehow managable if it wasn't for the reception problem, that's inexusable and it's gonna make me having to sale this for whatever it's worth and switch to Android once it for all!

I purchased this phone a week ago with high hopes, but now I realise what a pile of cack it is!
1) Why isn't there a percentage reading on the battery? Every other phone I have had (Android and Apple), shows the percentage left on the notification bar, but not this phone. Do I have 3/4 left or 2/3? Who knows.
2) Why can't I add my own ringtones to this phone. I have looked it up on the internet (because you don't even get a user's manual with the 820) and a lot of other users are complaining about it. Let's face it, the ones on the phone really suck!
3) Why does the volume keep lowering itself on it's own? I have missed plenty of calls because I haven't heard it.
4) The alarm is awful; it only went off once in three attempts, and even then it was so quiet I hardly heard it.
Windows phone - never again!

Lumia 820 doesn't have Corning gorilla glass for sure.
But it has Scratch resistant glass. Pixel density is very less, display isn't good compared to lumia 800 and 900. GPU lacks in this phone.
Nokia could have built an amazing phone by increasing the mentioned points.

so not adding Gorilla glass to Lumia 820, keeping screen ppi very low density, very small inbuilt memory.
They ,re afraid that both lumia demands & sale might go up neck to neck like current gs3 and GN II did !

There is one more place where you can see its nokia forum just compare devices 820, 800, 920 and look for gorilla glass in General section you will see both 800 and 920 has it but 820 doesn't.

you compared the GPU but forgetting CPU and also RAM.
820 has 1.5Ghz CPU and 1GB RAM while 8S only has 1Ghz and 512MB RAM.

820 is better by far distance from 8S
