The gap from the top of the screen to the top edge, and then the bottom of the screen to the bottom edge looks pretty much the same to me? Maybe the presence of the speaker as opposed to those capacitive buttons gives the illusion of a bigger gap

Oh no I agree I think the dual core krait is more than sufficient but it may explain why HTC haven't announced it yet. To the masses quad core>dual core.
They've already announced that the HTC 8X is the flagship windows phone 8 phone, so they're not doing a great job of protecting Nokia... :/
Haha indeed but that's just marketing bs to appease HTC. Ultimately microsoft wants to get as many big players as they can for the big wp8 push. As the wpcentral poll clearly shows a lot of people still view the 920 as the true flagship.

I said the 8x looks better then the 820, and I wouldn't call a 720p screen on a phone mid range, it isn't really missing much, the Lumia has better screen tech but apart from the 60fps the rest isn't too usefully to me personally, I don't tend to use gloves much and when I do its due to snow so it would just break your phone. Also no one can really comment on how good the screen looks, it is the same screen as the One X which is really amazing.
I do believe overall the 920 is the better phone, but not everyone wants a big phone so the 4.3" screen might appeal to some, also right now HTC have a okay name for them self, unlike Nokia which outside of tech site and such is more or less dead at this moment.
Finally, I never said anything about it not being polycarbonate , I am fully aware it is same as the N9/L800 and 900 and the One X.
I will be very interested to see the same poll with mainstream people and not us "nerds", I personally also think the 920 is the main WP, given it is the only one really supporting the platform and the amount of things they have packed into the 920, but I have a feeling the HTC brand and name also has a good amount of support behind it. I know many many people who only get HTC phones and don't even know it is running android but believe it is the HTC's own software.

What about quality?, I dont think ive ever really used the built in speaker for maybe showing the odd movie clip.
The Audio playback is meant to be great! It's not. Just more power, as for the rest of it, that's a non issue
Just becuase you might not like a feature, doesn't mean that applies to everyone.
No, im actually somewhat of an audiophile myself, jsut not seeing it being any more quality in sound reproduction jsut because it has a more powerful preamp.
How is the rest of it a non issue when you have a small amount of memory?

Design is fantastic. Well done to Microsoft & HTC for this.
There won't be a 5" HTC device at launch simply because they don't want to release a dual core flagship. WP8 won't need it but they know that many people use to quad core androids won't want to go back to a dual core as it would be a downgrade, even if performance actually gets better. The Zenith will likely be the 4.7" quad core so many seem to be waiting for, though it may actually be the rumoured 1080p device or use that screen.
Like I've said before, Microsoft and Qualcomm have said long ago that all the launch devices will be running dual core kraits.

Why? It's a pointless gimmick until it's more efficient and we have wireless power+data, now that would be worth something.
i find it useful in fact its one of the features that makes me lost between 820 and 8x
Becuase I would find it extremely usefull. It's a well liked feature and if it hit a critical mass. Hotels, airports etc would get them fitted. Nokia has allready done a deal with some companies to fit chargers. Imagine if it was a wp8 feature across all phones and the collective power they would have to get companies to support it.
