Hang on to those 920's though because when they roll out the Cyan upgrade you're going to feel like you have a brand new phone. It'll bring tons of UI and software upgrades for you.

i havent heard of any cyan upgrade. i have seen commercials of the new nokia phone with a similar feature to siri yet more complex

Wow, ok you're in for a treat. The 920 has aged very well due to it's high quality, cutting edge hardware (for the time).

The new features are pretty extensive. Here's an overview page, this is far from everything included in the update.
http://www.nokia.com/global/windows-phone-cyan-update/

So far the Cyan update for the 920 has rolled out in Spain, UK, and Italy. Here's the Windows Phone 8.1 Cyan update status page for North America (other localities and phone models can be found at the same link).
http://www.nokia.com/global/support/...north-america/

WPCentral is like the FT86club for Windows phone, check it out (and Wmexperts.com) for a lot more about your phone.

Was considering iphone but afraid of bending over for Apple.

That blows. Mine hasn't locked up more than once or twice. My iPhone was fairly reliable for a year, but then it started just randomly deciding it wasn't going to grab a signal for half of the day.

Yeah that's what it started as, once in a while.

Now it does it a couple times a week or more :\

I kind of want an iphone but I'm not a fan of their supposed larger design for this next release. Also, how bad is / was itunes? Or, how married were you to Apple's bullshit?

I didn't keep music on my phone since I never bought anything through iTunes, so I did my damndest to prevent ever having to run it. There were a handful of occasions where I needed to restore my phone or plug it in though. One time it decided it didn't want to detect the phone, so I had to uninstall, reinstall a newer version, and then it was working. And when I finally did decide I wanted to put some MP3s on the phone it was a convoluted goddamn mess trying to get them to sync properly. With Android I can put in a MicroSD or plug the phone into the computer and drag and drop MP3s. Don't even have to think about it. No seriously I fuckin hate iTunes. Even my friends that love and worship Apple fucking hate iTunes.

As a phone, the iPhone itself is actually pretty good. Like I said I tried to stay far away from iTunes so I used iCloud to store contacts and everything, which is a lot easier editing them from a web browser. The best redeeming thing about the iPhone IMO is the battery life. That bitch would run all day and I'd still have a decent charge when I plugged it in before bed. My S4 is almost dead halfway through the day so it gets charged about twice as much.

Just as a disclaimer, mobile device management is part of my job. Now when I speak I'm referring to the iPhone 4 I had for a bit, and then a 4S to play with too. However a handful of the users that I manage here have iPhone 5 or 5S and several have reported battery issues or their battery dying abnormally quickly. Two had the phone replaced under warranty. The first was power button issue and the latter a phone freezing issue. The latter actually had to have her phone replaced twice because the replacement was locking up as well. My AT&T rep said his wife's did the same thing, which is why I sent her to the Apple store to get it taken care of.

But really you get tied to one ecosystem or another. Some of the games I play pull information directly from their own servers, or Facebook's, which is great because that allows me to transfer my save from one OS to another. I figured at some point I'll end up with a tablet, so I decided to jump back onboard the Android train before spending several hundred bucks on an iPad that would run maybe some of my iPhone software and then need me to purchase a specific iPad version too.. which isn't the fault of Apple, that's on the software devs. So the marriage really goes either way.

I have to admit something... might switch back to iphone... the iphone 4 is slow as fuck with iOS7, but fuck it works seamlessly with my OEM radio... unlike my android...
