Wow, I'm impressed with the announcements so far.
Impressive that lots of the stuff didn't leak.
Totally sold on a lipstick red 920.
 
Looks very cool :

Edit - posted from the link:
"As one of the first Windows Phone 8 devices to be officially announced, this device augments Espoo's line with a larger, curved 4.5-inch PureMotion HD+ display, dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 CPU, 2,000mAh battery, NFC, integrated wireless charging and an 8-megapixel rear PureView camera capable of 1080p video. The display packs WXGA (1,280 x 768) resolution, is 25 percent brighter than the next best panel on the market and it's the fastest LCD that Nokia has ever shipped on a smartphone. What's more, the screen also boasts what Nokia calls "Super Sensitive Touch," which promises to let you use it even when wearing gloves or mitts."
 
Screen, camera and wireless charging... Can't wait to get one.
 
Wireless charging is a scam. It charges when placed on a charging matt, a charging matt I assume connected via a cable to a plug point.

As for the glove touch-ability while handy (excuse the pun) is there not the risk of unsupervised inputs? I see it responds to touch from a car key as well so if you put your keys down next to it and one just happens to touch the screen it could respond.

I think... . Let me revise that. I know for sure that Nokia has some interesting plans with wireless charging. From their presentation, I picked up that they will be working with restaurants and other retail outlets to provide wireless charging facilities.

Imagine running out of battery while you are waiting for your wife while she is doing her monthly clothing shopping. What do you do? You wish you had somewhere to charge your phone so you can check what McCrazieGoalz is saying on MyBB. No?

No? Stop wishing.

Use your City Lens to locate an outlet in the mall to find out were the nearest FatBoy wireless charging pad is. Its at Mugg & Bean. Next time your wife pops out of Foschinis you ask her to go and have a cup of coffee with you at Mugg & Bean. While you are having your coffee you will be charging your phone at a charging pad that is unobtrusively located somewhere convinient at your table.

Problem solved, your wife can go and continue her shopping and you don't have to moan about how long she is taking. Mugg & Bean makes a buck or two from you unless both of you ordered tap water.



Update:

Can Nokia make wireless mainstream?

The Finnish smartphone company has gone as far as collaborating with Fatboy to create a recharge pillow, and has partnered with Virgin Atlantic airline and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf chain to make charging pads available to customers.

Nokia is hoping that the social buzz created by people seeing wireless charging pads on airlines and in coffee shops will encourage people to buy Lumias over the competition.

I am leaning towards this approach as well. I prefer HTC above the other manufacturers at this point, but I may just find myself with a nokia once more, come upgrade time April next year.

Isn't it heavier because of the 2000mAh battery? Imo it is better having a heavier, thicker phone with a decent battery than super-slim that lasts a day.

Valid point, didn't consider that. Still though personally I prefer the latter, I don't mind charging it every night. The real problem comes when you go away for a few days and there isn't a plug nearby :S

Pureview camera is a thing of great beauty. Goodness. Just watched the 920 announcement. Amazing. Hope they've patented it...
