Both phones also have built-in NFC chips. These allow near-field
communications, which means "this phone can do things when you tap it
against another gadget." The promise is that you'll be able to tap on a
cash-register terminal to pay for something; tap against an NFC-enabled
bus shelter ad to download promotional goodies; tap two phones together
to transfer a photo or address; and tap against a Bluetooth speaker to
"pair" it with the phone.In practice, there's more to it than
that. Unfortunately, the tap only introduces the phones; Bluetooth or
some other technology is needed to complete the connection. And
Microsoft's coming tap-to-pay initiative is incompatible with the one
Google has spent millions of dollars setting up at cash registers across
the land. But we can always hope.The HTC Windows Phone 8X is the smaller of the two new phones, but even
so, it dwarfs the iPhone - it's wider, taller, heavier and thicker. If
you get the Verizon model, your Internet experience will be faster and
better in more cities than on the Nokia phone, which is available only
on AT&T.The 920 also wins as a GPS unit. The Maps app in all Windows phones
comes from Nokia (which owns Navteq, one of the Big Two in map data).
And it is really good. It shows traffic, aerial photography, public
transportation, the works. And it has none of the problems that plague
Apple's Maps app. It even lets you download map data to your phone, so
you can search and navigate when you're offline or don't want to rack up
astronomical roaming fees.so compare to both are nice but you should decide which one comfortale your pocket??
