WPCentral have on hand a complete (or nearly complete) software development kit (SDK) for Windows Phone 8 - which is only given to selected developers. This SDK has appeared on the internet a few days ago on WinUnleaked.
The above video is just a quick look WP8 on this SDK. Therefore, we should understand that the video say the features in the build for SDK only, Microsoft is not putting all about WP8 into this SDK, which means that we will still have to wait until Microsoft announced full WP8.
One of the most interesting features of the Nokia Lumia 920 is the camera. The optical image stabilization (OIS) should make for better still and video imaging. The OIS will aid in taking low light pictures and smoother video footage.
But what if Compare Nokia Lumia 920 with video recording capabilities with iPhone 5. Engadget has conducted a comparison of the two phones and get the results as expected.
The video footage is shot while running across the parking lot and using a prototype of the Lumia 920. From the first step, you can see the advantages OIS gives the Lumia 920 over the digital (or software) stabilization of the iPhone.
people probably still remember Microsoft and Nokia has said it will integrate directly Noka Maps service in Windows Phone 8. This really is one great news for us, because after all they still have to admit that Bing Maps is missing so much.
Each time using the map to access the Internet, it is very inconvenient right?
Preview SDK pack released shows that Windows Phone 8 will allow users to download the map pack they want. This is another very nice addition to the Windows Phone operating system.
Recently Nokia has been drumming up interest in their Lumia devices with a few graphical information comparing their services with competitors. This time we showed some of the features of the 920 Lumia than the iPhone 5. Nokia emphasized 920 camera Lumia much more advanced, better quality panoramic images, enhanced reality, wireless charging, wireless accessories with NFC capabilities, higher resolution screen / quality, touch-screen user-friendly, user interface design more unique, and of course their hardware design and color choices. Nokia also asked on Facebook which feature you want. Rechargeable wireless and stable optical camera is fairly common technical progress, but it seems that many people really want to be able to use your phone while wearing gloves. Nokia Lumia 920 features you desire?
Since the scandal camera using DSLRs to make illustrations for advertising technology PureView on Lumia 920, Nokia has been "infamous" quite a lot, Engadget during a visit to the headquarters of its research and development in Tampere, PartLan has access to the test area. Here in addition to the template of the Lumia 920 is also the leading phones such as the iPhone 5, S3, One X. .. Engadget and the team did a trial held under laboratory conditions and in the streets at night.
To ensure objectivity, all the machines are placed in auto shooting mode, the photographer is Myriam Joire. She explains how to carry out the video below:
Photos used in this topic is to scale down the width is 620 pixels wide (to fit right here) and included a 100-percent cropped view in the lower left corner.. The original image you can download at the end of this article.Test image is in the dark. The first is the Lumia 920, slightly yellowing photo:

The iPhone was also a solid runner-up with this test -- it didn't perform as well in even dimmer light, as we experienced when capturing images from a dark rooftop late at night, but it did yield decent shots in the lab. Even so, the frame is underexposed, includes a heavy orange cast and the 100-percent view is heavily pixelated and noticeably soft.

Then all four machines will be taken and tested on the streets of Helsinki, 920 and the iPhone 5 is still the 2 best quality, but the iPhone 5 have higher noise.
Nokia Lumia 920 (and 820) will have a screen with Super Sensitive Touch ™ technology, developed by combining with Synaptics and ClearPad ™ Series 3 of them. New feature will allow users to use your gloved hand to manipulate the touch screen their telephone equipment.
But it is not just the gloves. Those who have long fingernails or just want to use a stylus or any other object just gets better with technology. Toss in Corning Gorilla Glass 2 to protect the parent and you have a free, popular touch screen can be used on your smartphone.
In the video above, you can see this demonstrated once again by our Russian friends, when manipulating the screen using a metal fork. Sure, it is not the first thing that comes to mind when using our phone but it darn cool to be able to do it, we suppose.
Video also shows some using gloved realistic and we also get a peek of Angry Birds Roost and some other bits of the operating system.
Here is a test clip about the sensitive touch screen of the Nokia Lumia 920. Its great, there is no debate anymore is not everyone? But try to look at the second 0:16, you can see when he is input from the keyboard, appeared first message you want to download the package suggest or not.
As such, Windows Phone 8 allows download package suggested as an independent department and apparently via OTA protocol. This action is probably to save memory capacity of Windows Phone 8, because this whole package suggest up to 200MB. In addition, this also provides another possibility, that will Windows Phone 8 also allow users to download the package into language independent?
Here's the video from CNET recording process of "torture" their Lumia 900 with the "repertoire" as:
Freezer for 2 hours. Survives
Oven for 200 degrees. Survives. (This really had me doubting it until I realised, US video, Fahrenheit perhaps?)
Hammer test (like that viral video) actually can hammer in a nail with it. Phone not cracked not even any scratches even after hammering in another nail. He says ‘unbelievable, you can’t do that with an iPhone” though he doesn’t like that it’s a WP. Polycarbonate took some hits but the glass hasn’t smashed unlike some other phones when you look at them wrong.
Drop test. Survives. Screen unscratched, not broken. Nice bit of GG action.
Pool test. Not turning on. Rice drying probably needs more than 20 minutes. Ah water, Kryptonite of some Nokias (not all).
We need a bit of the classic ruggedness in future Nokia smartphones perhaps.
At least it’s strong enough that a 2 year old can’t scratch it.
Phil Schiller from Apple does not offer any help to affected iPhone users who’s iPhones scuff easily or even out of the box. Apparently it’s normal.
