I bet he had little or no clue.
That maybe true, and whist I agree.
I do believe that some people have going completely OTT with but that's to be expected I guess on the internet. The video, yes it can be seen as misleading but its is a technology demo and no where is its stated that its taken with the Nokia 920. Nokia are a technology partner with Carl Zeiss, who probably have a demo rig / lens to showcase the OIS tech.
However, all of the above has not put my off the device as I covers all the area very nicely that I am after. The only question I have is what DAC is in the handset?
It's a very good little handset, which a bit different from most of the other handsets on the market. WP7.5 is a very fluid OS and works really well, its main short comings where the Windows CE Kernel which puts a hardware limitation on the hardware and the Windows Store. The hardware area of Windows Phone has massively improved since moving to the Windows NT kernel and the Windows Store is making steady process, with over 100K applications now.
What I do find interesting is the applications on the WP platform, they theme very nicely with the OS. One example I can think of is a application called Cocktail Flow, if you look at this on all 3 formats, visually its noticeably better on WP compared to iOS and Android.
That's thanks to metro deisgn guidelines which are enforced, to get the apps created for the market.
It's great, apple is to closed and android is far to open. Windows has a nice balance. Multiple hardware, but thought out so stuff works and roll out updates from Microsoft not couriers.

No, they deliberately deceived, during the presentation you where shown another video of them filming the other guy on the bike, filming the girl, directly showing HIM using the camera, deliberately showing how it was filmed using the 920.
They got caught, end of.
Like I said, the camera/ video will have to be exceptional now, as this has been mentioned in the news in the US etc and made it to the BBC news I believe.
All phones use the flash as a auto-focus assist lamp but most don't come on when the flash is turned off.
The 920 was using a really long shutter speed with HDR or some other ott post processing. It was a very controlled test and one that you'll probably never encounter.
We need Nokia to put full res, real world examples on Flickr/blogs for everyone to see. Actually, were are they? They usually chuck them on asap.

I really dont know, I think the camera will be great, but Nokia just doesnt have any confidence at all in their product, I have no idea what massage sends to poeple.

Matching wireless charging bluetooth headsets anyone? Also note lack of grey colour and inclusion of cyan.
Edit - Also one of the comments below the article regarding lack of price and release information:
I hope theres no truth to this.

I could be wrong, but I believe they have been releasing the SDK to certain developers and it's just the public open to everyone/final version which won't be released until later. So my interpretation is that people who make the popular and/or important apps will already have access to the SDK.
Plus you can develop applications on 7.5 SDK as they will run on 8. Although I guess you'll need to wait for the 8 SDK still if you want to do something with the new toys

I love the phone, like the cam but my only gripe is with the uptake of new apps for WP8. Not much point having a phone this capable without software to back it up.
It already has most of the key applications on the platform, the only main admissions being Sky Go (but that's a bit bitty on Android as well) and iPlayer. However, they will arrive over time. There are over 100,000 Windows Phone applications at the moment and that's only set to grow in the coming months etc...
Or they haven't actually announced the release date and price because they are waiting to see what Apple release...
Or Microsoft don't want to give anything away in WP8, like they did in WP7 and then the likes of Google and Apple where able to second guess them.
