The cell phone market is notoriously fickle. Yep - 5 years is an eternity.

Personally, I prefer my Windows Phone 7 phone to an iPhone, but it's not for everyone. In fact, I don't think I have ever recommended it to anyone else. I learned my lesson when I recommended a Palm Pre to my CEO, and I had to hear him complain about it for the next 12 months. No one ever got fired for recommending an iPhone. :)

Subjective opinion but it looks to me like Apple is falling behind on more than a few metrics. They can probably keep up with momentum and marketing for a while... but I think they need to step up their game. The cell phone market is notoriously fickle. The cell phone market may be fickle, but iPhone buyers have had a tendency to be quite loyal. Also, I don't know why you say the 920's screen is better than the iPhone 5's, which is flat out gorgeous and gets very high marks technically, too.
