My switch from an iPhone meant that the 920 had a hell of a pair of shoes to fill. There’s no doubt about it, the iPhone is a damn fine product and it’s served me well for nearly four years. But the Nokia 920 is also a great product. It may have a thin app selection but it does everything you’d want a phone to do. I have spent the first few weeks of owning the 920 with my iPhone 5 in my back pocket, “just in case”. A few days ago, I gave my iPhone to my father and haven’t looked back.

Many people aren’t going to understand what I’m getting at. To be honest, I’m having a hard time grasping it myself. The 920 achieves something truly great at an emotional level. It is an honest, pure and passionate design that shows care. There’s something magical about its presence. It feels special. It gives me a similar feeling to the first time I held an iPod mini. And sadly, iPhone has forgotten how to do that.
