This doesn't have to transfer until next year. That and they have no LTE infrastructure installed.

the key is going to be the apps to use. Most of us have a small set of apps, at least, we use frequently so will Windows 8 have the ones we use in, say, Android. I know I would have to check out several if I were to move to a Windows phone.
I get the last 3 'killer' features, and wireless charging is pretty awesome, but PureMotion HD+? 48 pixels extra 'height' is a killer feature? seriously?
Seriously though it'll be interesting to see just what it's like, they claim better blacks but it's still an LCD, smoother scrolling (what refresh rate?) and the interesting bit is the touch with gloves etc, know it can be done as I've worked with capacitive screens that will detect touches through ~1inch of material, but they weren't exactly spectacular, be interesting to see how well this one works.
The point with the screen is that the resolution is the minor point. The anti glare filter (demoed on the 800/900 as by far the best out at the moment), the curved screen and the fact you appear to get the image on top of the glass rather than recessed within it like most phones (the whole hover thing that a lot of blogs have mentioned). I'm still sceptical about the thing being IPS rather than AMOLED though, I love my Omnia 7 because the blacks are really black.
What 4G frequency does O2 use? They are pretty close to at least a regional release (or at least have had a year of testing last time I heard).

One of the main things I use my phone for is taking pictures and this looks pretty hot in that department. I hate using flash in low light too.

Yup looks like my dream camera phone.
Just need to see the samples of that so we can see what the noise is like (and the actual resolution - could be that they are downsampling - I hope not).
Gotta say the Red looks a little orange, but that may be the WB in the building? The Yellow is actually quite fetching..

This +1
The only fly in the ointment is that Im really impressed with google now on the nexus 7 and the other fly in the ointment for me is resale value as I will buy sim free and look to upgrade again middle of next year.
The main pulling point for me is proper OneNote integration and the W8 common platform as Im loving W8 and the office 2013 preview..
Having that flash on to focus helped surely. They should have compared it to the other phones with flash on - the flash is there for a reason.
Still very impressed.

True, but everyone knows taking a photo with a flash looks horrendous!

They've admitted it wasn't done with the 920, so it's even more dishonest than those bloody awful Siri adverts.
Which seems incredibly stupid when the phone does appear to do a good job with low light and image stabilisation based on the little we've actually seen of the phone.
Take away the restrictions of WP7.
It is funny though they would go to such lengths to do that video and fake it.

i think this looks tempting. i was just going to upgrade to iphone 5 but this could sway me
can i ask some dumb questions...
i use itunes... don't hate me for it, I just do. will this tie in with that and store all my music? how can i connect this to everyone else i know who has iphone speaker systems to play my music? (i would think i cant??)
what would the app support be like? simple stuff i use a lot like Hailo, Aroundme, Ocado.
would I effectively be mothballing all my previously purchased apps and have to buy them all over again? starts to get expensive if i do?
thx

No such thing as a dumb question
iTunes music will move accross, you're safe there but you can't connect it to ipod dock items, you'd need to use a Line In or USB link.
App support is down to windows 8. It's the weakest of the 3 for app support because it only sustains 5-6% of the market currently, well windows phone 7 is, but the major apps are usually there.
Yes, your iOS apps would not be usable on this phone. Prices vary with OS.
EDIT: Eliot, this using the new LG TFT panel?
