It isn't trying to mash those contacts all together is it? For instance, it is not going to try and take all my facebook contacts and try to push them to my gmail address book is it? Or even worse, share any of my gmail data with Facebook??

Went and fondled a 920 at the AT&T store during lunch today. Damn nice phone. You are definitely right about the fluidity of everything!

Seems like as far as calendar entries on the lock screen, it currently only shows the next one, is that correct? Or is there an option to display more that I missed?

@ the_Monk  SHADDUP!!!!

You know I want this phone! 

You know HOW badly I want it! [e digicons]:'([/e]

You know I CAN'T afford it now!!! 

Yet you stilll go ahead and write a glowing review that just makes my mouth water with jealous anticipation. 

You are a cruel SOB... just so, so cruel!

However, I will forgive you... this time.... and probably the next review as well.

P.S.  Good review, BTW.

No the "people" tile in Windows Phone 8 won't force info from one account into another it just "collects" all of the info from all connected accounts in one place.  Of course that is only the default behaviour and one can "filter" out any/all of the other accounts if one wants only say the sim-card contacts shown in the "people" tile.

Yes at this point it does look like the "detailed" view for the calendar app will only give you the next appointment.  Third-party apps however like Groupon for example are able to utilize the lockscreen more and are even able to use the location services to populate your lockscreen with deals pertinent to you at your current location.

EDIT:

I'm sorry starkers......I will stop now...........trying to stop typing........trying......really....really trying........hehe 

Awesome, perfectly acceptable that way!

Bummer, at this point, but with others being able to use more of it, sounds like something that either they may change, or perhaps some other app can take advantage of down the road and display differently.

For now I think I'll keep waiting, at least just a bit longer. It has been hard to resist upgrading, think this is the longest I've ever had a cell phone, and I do love new toys!

Hmmm, now this does not conjure a good mental picture, at all.  Fondled, eh?  And in an AT&T store, no less. 

And you weren't worried about security or what other customers thought?

You realise those stores have recordable CCTV, don't you? 

Hehe, I can see the embarrassment of it all now....

YouTube sensation goes viral: "AT&T's R Rated Fone Fondler Caught In The Act"

Yes, I have a lot of time on my hands... and the meds are just kicking in now... wheeeeee!

Hey, the_Monk, don't stop on my account, you're providing some pretty good info... and I'll learn to live with it.

There was even a nice young lady giving me a hand!!

wheeeeee, indeed!

I have a phone. It sits on my desk and makes and receives what? Phone calls of course! I have a PC to do anything else I want to do. Texting? Hate it! I have a simple Net10 cell to carry with me in case of an emergency. It costs me fifteen dollars a month. Would not even have that except it was a necessity when my Mom passed because our land line was out and needed to communicate with family in Virginia. And guess who isn't rushing out to get Windows 8! You boys have fun with your expensive toys but to me a phone is a phone and a PC is a PC!!

I think the I hear the '90s calling?!?..........hehe 

I don't go through a squillion phones....still have my first one....and it likely still works.....

The Galaxy II I have at the moment shall last until it dies.... by which time this thing you're all salivating over will be as redundant as that first phone of mine....

Back when Moto was King.  Yes.

I still have one of these too.... the wonders of zero-point-three of a megapixel .....good old VGA...;0

....and some floppies to record on...

Yeah, there's still a few old fossils around who prefer the abacus to compute... and a couple of cans on a string for a phone.

I was one of them not so long ago.  That's right, I never wanted or needed a mobile phone, never had a use for a tablet, either.  Then I got my first mobile because it was the only economical way to keep in touch with my step-daughter interstate, but a Smart phone was NEVER on the agenda, didn't need one of those at all... until my mother gifted me one.  Once I got my hands on that there was no holding me back... hmmm, touch.... just like on the tablet I'd gotten a couple of months earlier.

Hehe, the old fart got booted into the 21st century, and it didn't hurt much at all.  The thing that didn't need any prompting or arm twisting was purchasing Win 8.  I downloaded it the moment it became available and never regretted it.  So now all I need is the Lumina 920 and Surface to complete the tech triangle.

Nokia has good launch lumia series, all lumia series cell phones has superb, everything is beautiful look, features, screen, camera, top features it's windows i love it.

LCD screen? No, thanks.
