To put this review in context, I've upgraded my cell phone every couple of years since 1992 when I had my first Motorola brick; so I've owned a lot of cell phones and all the smart ones. I'm not a fan of Apple products but my spouse has one so I'm not unfamiliar with them. I'm an IT professional and I've worked with so many different operating systems I've lost count but half a dozen Unix variants, 3-4 Linux Variants, every version of Windows since 1.0, and the Apple OS. I run both a personal Google Identity and Google Apps for my small business.
I've had my phone for a week and I bought the DT910 charger for my desk and the DT900 for traveling.
This phone is just wonderful, I gave the Verizon store clerk my Microsoft identity name and added my password when she passed it to me. By the time I got home the phone had completely synchronized with my desktop and laptop. It's seamless: just different windows into the same "ME". The sound quality is great; the camera is brilliant (I'm an amateur photographer with several thousand in semi-pro equipment); I can link together all my contacts various identities (google, skype, facebook, etc) into a single unified contact list; Facebook, Kindle, Audible, Netflix, Amazon, Microsoft Office, all work great.
Before I bought the phone the Verizon folks told me that no one liked the Windows phone because it didn't run all their apps. And there are some applications that are not available yet for Windows 8. The only one I miss is TripIt but this is more than made up for by the seamless integration with Microsoft Office. (Update: I found TripIt)
I wanted a working phone that integrated seamlessly into my work environment; gives me a great camera, delivers my core communication needs; the Icon hit that target dead on. I've never been happier with a new phone.
I have been with the Android Operating System since the original Sprint EVO Phone. To put things in perspective. I have had the EVO, EVO 3D (Junk) traded to the Motorola Photon, Motorola Droid Razor Max, to the HTC One. I have played around with unlocking, using custom roms, etc. Android is a great OS, tons of apps and a ton of phone choices. Given all this, why would I even consider switching.....I am bored
When it comes down to it, most of the apps I use now are mainly for work, when I want to play games, browse the web, etc I use my Ipad Air.
I wanted a phone for work and I wanted to try something new, so the Lumia Icon had the latest specs, so I decided to give the Windows phone a try. For me it's a hit, with a few misses
UNPACKING (7/10) •Your basic rectangular Verizon (orange) box nothing spectacular •inside it is well packed with the phone, wall charger and usb cable, small printed manual •This is version 8 of the Windows Mobile OS, 8.1 is not released yet •Phone is boxy, with a significant amount of weight behind it, which detracts away from its excellent design, button layout, metal trim with polycarbonate back •Camera has Duel LED Flash in the back with Headphone jack up top and Charger at bottom •Phone feels heavy in your hands, but even with its larger bulk it fits well
DISPLAY (9/10)
This is where the phone shines, I really like the screen, it's AMOLED 1920x1080 screen. I agree with most of the professional reviews, colors are very vivid and bright, with excellent black levels, but fall a tad short on whites when compared to my HTC ONE. I do like the fact that you have a lot of customization when it comes to screen color brightness, etc. I put this phone next to my buddies Samsung Galaxy 4, and it just looked a tad bit better IMO. With the very thin border around the screen it give the illusion that the screen takes up the entire front. I did change the color scheme of windows, because the red was just to bright.
BATTER LIFE (8/10)
The battery life is quite good, I would say it's better than my HTC in that regards, but not by a lot. I do about 100+ emails a day, will watch an occasional Netflix program back and forth on the train and talk a lot for my job and still manage to finish the day with 25-30% left. This is only with 2 actual days of usage, but so far so good.
USER INTERFACE (9/10)
This is my first experience with the Windows 8 Mobile OS. If not for windows 8 on my PC, I probably would have never even tried this phone, because it looks like a big mess at first, but in the end, I was really won over by how much I could customize it vs. my HTC One.
When I first turned on my phone, its was the basic walkthrough setup process, then I got to the screen and thought, OK what the hell do I do now? Turns out I was able to do a lot and was able to pick up the OS in a very short period of time with no instruction. I was able to do/learn things quickly and have quickly grown to love the tile system as it is PERFECT for me and how I want to customize my screen vs. android widgets.
With high end specs it compares similarly to android devices in relation to speed, pinch zoom and scrolling, all work really well.
EXAMPLE: By adjusting the tile and location of the apps I use most I was better able to maximize screen real estate better than any android phone I have used. I have the Phone tile next to my two email address tiles with the next row being my calendar voicemail, and weather forecast. In the same amount of space I have my less used apps as tiny tiles which I can put 4 into the same size as one tile. To me this is the biggest advantage of the windows phone as I can get to more of my apps quickly. While android purists may say they can do the same on their device, the point for me was how easy it was to do this with almost no knowledge of the OS to begin with.
Additional observations, I think some of the same apps work better on the Windows OS. I definitely liked the LinkedIn and ebay apps much better than the android counterpart. That being said, there is often times I found the Android App to be the better choice.
I do prefer the Android app access (i.e. 4column x5 rows vs Window OS 1 column scroll down and give my HTC the advantage of having a better media player.
CALL QUALITY (8/10)
This one is difficult to judge as its T-Mobile vs Verizon and to be honest the HTC One is the King of Sound Quality with its 2 speaker system. As far as making calls, I found the call quality to be equal on both. On the flipside, the HTC's speakerphone is significantly better, as it is against pretty much any device. I know that Nokia changed out the Mics on these headsets and I have no complaints
APPS, APPS AND MORE APPS (6/10)
If you are an App junkie, as I used to be, the Windows phone is NOT for you. They still have a long way to go to compete with either the Android or Apple ecosystem. I do NOT have HBOgo, VUDU, Amazon Prime Video, just Netflix. Other than that, it does have all the apps that I use for work (navigation, backups, Office) I like the Bing Finance app to track my investments and the Travel app for booking tickets. I also have problems with bugs on some apps, like my fitnesspal which worked fine on my android and Ipad, but required constant reinstalls to keep it going.
CAMERA (9/10)
Lumia is know for the excellent camera's and this is an area where it doesn't disappoint. Picture quality is excellent. Compared to my HTC one it stays if focus a lot better when moving around and overall picture quality seems significantly better. I have not been able to do a low light comparison, but the double LED flash on the Nokia vs Single LED on the HTC makes a noticeable difference. I have not played around with the customization and overall features, but will update when I have had more time. This is an area on the Nokia that seems like it's going to take a little bit of learning.
NOTE: Shutter Speed, as reported on other sites is an issue, (i.e. Shutter Delay), but nothing is too significant for most general picture taking, but I could see having an impact on action shots.
I could go into a lot more detail, but with one of usability, I would rate this phone an (8/10)
Pros: - Excellent Screen - Easy to use and customizable interface and speedy - Solid build Quality - Good Battery Life (wireless charging works great) - Clear call quality - FANTASTIC Camera
Cons: - A phone should not be this bulky in this day and age - Speakerphone volume could be a little louder - Apps....MS still has a ton of catch up
On a side note I am excited to see with the OS 8.1 brings, especially the Cortana (siri / Google Voice) competitor. I did also pick up the wireless charger which works excellent.Read more ›
I've been waiting for this phone for a long time. I got tired of Apple's "50 shades of grey" upgrade in IOS7, and so had my Verizon rep for my corporate account send me the Lumia 928 back in September of 2013. I loved it, and would've ordered one right there until I saw a leaked photo and some tentative specs of the Lumia 929 that was to be released in a couple months. I decided to wait, since the improvements over the 928 were many.
I almost lost patience in November, December, and January when all the rumored release dates passed, but I'm glad I waited. My rep was able to overnight one to me so I had it on release day. I gave my old iPhone 5 to one of my employees and never looked back.
This is a VERY nice phone in all respects. In every way I compare it to my iPhone 5, it wins. The only downside is the thin choice of apps still in the Microsoft store, but that's improving. The iPhone and Samsung phones started out the same way. The only things I really miss from the iPhone are a few apps, not the phone itself, since I have a lot of home automation, and there is, as yet, no Windows phone options for my Logitech security cameras, my Ecobee thermostat, and a few of my power switch modules.
But apps aside, from a hardware perspective, this is a clear win. The full 1920x1080 screen is gorgeous to view. Even in sunlight I can see what I need to see. I was a little worried about the size for two reasons - first, I didn't want something that was awkward to hold. I've seen people with the "phablet" devices and I just can't picture lugging something like that around as a PHONE - may as well use my retina iPad mini... But I also just bought a new 2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited, and the technology package in it has a special upper section of the arm rest that includes a Qi charging plate and a little sliding holder to keep the phone there. I really hoped this would fit in there ,and it did, even with a case on. Snug, but it works great. And the increase in resolution over the 928 means that there's more tiles I can fit on the main screen.
And for me, that's where the iPhone loses compared to Windows. I never cared much for the lock screen's lack of information, which was why I invariable jailbroke my iPhones. And the limited options for the screens when the phone was unlocked made it annoying to have to dig into folders to find what I was looking for, or swipe the screen. I was very happy when they made folders an option, so you didn't have 20 or 30 pages of icons, but it still was annoying sometimes. I like that with Windows I can resize the icons and fit lot of things that I use daily on a single screen. I also love the live tile implementation of things, so I can see at a glance what's been happening without having to rely on a notification center type of screen.
It's easy to hold, since in reality it isn't THAT much larger than the iPhone 5 was. The buttons are easy to get at and responsive. I like that they changed the USB port to the bottom, since the 928 had it on the top and that just drove me bonkers during my week of testing. The sound is quite good for such a small device.
The processor is snappy, which makes sense since it's the quad core snapdragon processor. There's little to no waiting for pretty much anything I open on here. Graphics are incredible and smooth for the few games I've put on here so far. Zooming photos or the camera is also very smooth.
And the camera - it's amazing. I have several higher end digital cameras, and an awesome $1600 Sony camcorder, but the photos this turns out are more than acceptable to me. It used to be I'd "settle" for photos with my iPhone due to convenience, when I didn't want to lug my large camera case around with the cameras and lenses for some event. And yes, if I really want to capture something to the best of my ability, I'll use my real photo equipment. However, for the other 95% of the time, I'll be more than happy to use my phone now and not have to carry anything else out. The options are easy to get at, white balance, ISO, flash, so many more options that with the iPhone... And the single finger zoom, rather than the pinch, or the slider at the one spot on the iPhone, makes bracketing my pictures so much easier. I find I can get just the shot I want so much easier with this than I could with the iPhone, and the quality, needless to say, just doesn't compare. The 20 mp camera here and the optics used make you think that there was no way this photo could've been taken by a phone.
We have a client in a medical building that's on the lower floor, and in their server room, we NEVER have gotten a signal with any phone from any carrier. And yesterday I was able to receive a phone call in there, and hear and be heard. That was a first for our company in that site. Another pleasure for the phone is being able to hit "END" and have it end the call. I've spent most of my time after the IOS 7 update on my iPhone being unable to end a call myself, it would not respond to me pressing "END" no matter how many times I tried. Phone calls would only end when the other side hung up and my phone realized it.
I love the built in Qi charger. I had a Duracell case for my iPhone and another extended battery that charged on a proprietary pad, and had gotten used to that method of charging. So I bought two charging pads, one for the office, one for home. I've gone through three cases so far trying to find a good one, and the charging on the pads and even in my Jeep works through the cases just fine. It's a convenience that you don't realize you'd use until you get accustomed to it. No plugs, no cables, just set the phone down and the charging begins, with no special case required like the iPhone. The back gets a little warm, but I've never felt it get hot no matter how long I had it placed on the charger.
This has quite a large battery in it, and initially I thought it'd last longer than the iPhone, but the downside to the live tiles is battery consumption. With little talking and little game playing, it runs down quicker than you'd think. I went from 100% at 7 AM at a client site to about 40% left after 8 hours. There's a lot of forum posts out there about things you can do to lessen the impact, but for me I'd rather deal with the battery consumption and have all my data, since this is first and foremost a business tool for me. Each mail account has its own live tile so I can see at a glance what the status is of new messages for my own Exchange server, or Gmail, or my Windows Live account. I'm not much of a facebook user but it's there as well, keeping me updated on info for my family. All of this visible without opening any programs up. For me, that convenience makes up for the battery being used quicker.
Another bonus for me is with my Jeep. I have the large Uconnect system, that can let you do voice texting over the stereo system. This never worked with my iPhone, but it works fine with the Icon. It reads me a text, and I can voice back what my reply is, and the car will repeat what I said and give me the opportunity to accept what it heard, or change it. Very handy since I don't pull up the phone to send or receive texts and such while driving. Another thing I don't use much, but it's nice to have when I need to.
For me, the lack of an expansion slot for an SD card or something isn't an issue. I have a Lenovo Helix tablet / laptop that I use for all my data. I pull photos to it from my Onedrive (used to be Microsoft's Skydrive) so I really don't have a need for extra storage on the phone. But for some people who use a phone as their center of their digital existence, it will be a major issue. So if you absolutely must have additional storage on the device, this may not be for you. But with the the seamless cloud storage integration, I don't think it's that critical for a lot of people.
And I like that I have such a viable option for Microsoft Office documents here, that I can open a Word document from my Onedrive and it looks like I expect it to, and that I can edit it and then have the results later on my computer when I'm back at the office.
All in all, I'm 100% happy with the hardware, just a little impatient with developers of the programs I need for home automation to make a Windows Phone variant of their software. There's nothing I feel I lost in my transition from the iPhone, I've only gained. For me, this is a much more usable phone in all respects than my iPhones ever were. And it's a big step from the old Windows Mobile phones back in 2007 and 2008.
This is one phone that shows that the Windows Phone platform isn't just a fluke, and it has all the opportunities to flourish. Of course, that success isn't in Microsoft's hands, but in the hands of the people who write apps. It doesn't matter how awesome a phone is, if people can't get the things they want or need to run on it, most of them will stick with the platform that they can. So I really hope the Microsoft store starts fleshing itself out.Read more ›
