Exactly. A willing prisoner in the Apple orchard. Occasionally, you glance over the wall to see if anything out there is compelling enough for you dump years of satisfactory, comfortable habits and familiarities - not to mention the expense - and climb out. Got this feeling the W8 Lumia ain't gonna be the cat's pajamas, for you and your iLk. :-)

Been thinking more about this iShip jumping business and suddenly realized that iPhone people who are otherwise PC connected and not massively invested in iApps could easily jump to a killer Nokia W8. I mean, Windows is their home, after all, and the iPhone is the only Apple intruder in it. Yeah, I can see a scenario where a candy colored killer Nokia W8 PureView makes them sell the iPhone and buy the Nokia.

Looks to me like you won't be jumping the iShip anytime soon, nor will many other iPeople... One rumored aspect of the Lumia 920 is a PureView camera. We can confirm that Nokia will indeed brand its Lumia 920 camera as PureView, but that the camera will be an 8-megapixel one — not the 41-megapixel one found on the company's 808 PureView handset. Nokia is focusing on marketing the Lumia 920 as PureView thanks to some advancements in image stabilization and camera software that it plans to ship on the device. The front of the device will also include a 1.3-megapixel camera. We're expecting Nokia to announce the device on Wednesday for AT&T customers initially, with a launch date expected in late October or early November. Exclusive: Nokia Lumia 920 to include wireless charging, 32GB storage, and 8-megapixel camera \| The Verge So what do we make of all this? There is no comparison with the Nokia 808 PureView, of course – the question is what’s left of the term “PureView” if Nokia is going to use just an 8MP camerasensor for it in the new device. With just an 8MP sensor, there won’t be much left for pixel oversampling, right? The Verge: “Nokia Lumia 920 offers PureView with 8MP camerasensor” \| PureView Club The rest of the phone is a stud on par with competition or better, but the camera will not make it an iPhone, Samsung W8 or Android killer. Soon as I saw the images of those coming candy colored Nokias, I KNEW they could NOT pack much more than 8MP into a skinny phone without a camera bump like the Nokia 808 has. Presently technically impossible, due to lens/sensor size limits. Also, availability in late October or early November? Knowing all about Nokia's delays - having experienced five of them with the 808 - I'd say they'll be lucky to deliver by xmas. Candy colored lead balloon? Could be, shall see...
