Business is war these days. Yeah, I agree. I think the Lumia 920 shall fail for at least two reasons: it's way too heavy (185 grams; iPhone 5, 114 grams), and perhaps even too wide for many people (~ 70 millimetres; iPhone ~ 60 millimetres?). Of course, the camera of the Lumia is superb, but that's prolly not enough. And as a Nokia share holder, I'm afraid Windoze Phone 8 shall be a disaster... BTW, just recommended my sister to buy a Macbook(?), instead of a PC laptop!

On a camera you want optical zoom not digital which just blows up the pixels and a lot more control over what you're shooting. In a pinch these phones will take some great video but still not as well as if you have a dedicated camera with you. Windows 8 is an also ran. Android has over a 1/2 billion installs.

Android has over a 1/2 billion installs. I haven't even looked into Windows mobile development but for awhile you had to have the full Visual Studio not just their free version. I think someone said they dropped back to the free version. Android, OTOH, accommodates development for free on Windows, Mac and Linux and probably about anything else you can get Java on. How to make money on mobile platforms is a headache though as people want it all free even if it has ads. But you can't buy a new Porsche with ad revenue. :-D
