A few hits, misses and expectations:
HIT - 41MP sensor with OIS and all the tricks that make Samsung engineers green of envy and also makes the iPhone 5 camera look rather cheap;
HIT - video recording seems simply brilliant and much improved in comparison to the 808 PV;
HIT - 3G and LTE support is broad enough to say it's trouble-free to travelers;
HIT - 2GB RAM must give some silky smooth browsing performance for the Windows Phone OS;
HIT - Expecting Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat to be free of charge, matching the 808;
HIT - Expecting the audio output to be by far the cleanest among Lumias, with decent volume as well;
MISS - MicroSDHC / MicroSDXC slot will be sorely missed as 32GB storage is by no means sufficient for multiple media storage + video recording;
MISS - Battery not user-replaceable;
MISS - Video player should support more formats (MKV for instance) and subtitles - both supported in the 808 - to put the much improved display into good use;
MISS - According to the reviews colour accuracy of the photos is not as natural as on the 808;
MISS - No video calls for now but expecting the Skype team to enable it someday (a rip off for the 808 as well).
