Lumia 920 has nothing surprising, may not defend Nokia's market

Nokia has officially unveiled its new flagship smartphone, the Lumia 920. The mobile phone will go with Windows Phone 8, 4.5-inch display, wireless charging, and 'PureView' camera.

Well, if I am a fan of Nokia, I might be a little disappointed. I don't think Nokia would defend its market from iOS and android. The reasons are simple:

1, the hardware is good, but this could not be regarded as the competitive advantage, because other manufacturer will soon apply better technology on the hardware. Wireless charging? Are you joking?

2, Windows Phone 8 may be a negative drag for Lumia 920. Joshua Topolsky of The Verge also dislike WP8, he said in his twitter that he would pay 500 bucks for changing the systme to android Jellybean.

3, The final point is: if I am a Nokia fan, I am really unable to find the competitive advantage of Lumia 920 that could defeat iOS or android. iOS and android are both big collection of tens of thousands of app's, but Nokia has to bind itself tightly with Microsoft, while failing to obtain enough support from MS.
