I had planned to write a blog post reviewing my Nokia Lumia 920 that I had recently purchased back in January, but never got around to it. I made my purchase decision with the intent of buying a Windows Phone 8 device. Currently there is only select few manufacturers who have developed WP8 devices and having owned HTC Windows Phones for the last 6 or
