God I hope Nokia fixes the daytime photos. Just took some and they are horrendously blurry :-(. Night time photos ARE amazing though

Can it charge through a case or do you have to take it out before charging

I finally got mine. Lines were still long this morning, but I am in the Seattle area.
The camera is really awesome. I took a comparison photo in low light between my 900 and 920...it really is night and day. Haven't had issues with daylight yet...but we don't get sun this time of year. It was already hyped up, but it lived up to it so far.
The screen is beautiful and performance is very good. I was actually pleasantly surprised with the app selection. There's quite a few apps that are here that weren't on 7.5 or have a nicer version here. The multiple size tiles is a lot more welcome than I would have expected it to be too. Haven't put it through a whole day of normal use yet, but the battery seems pretty good so far.
I do find it uncomfortably large. The 900 was already a bit big for me, and the extra width here really pushes my limits. I played with an 8x and really liked the feel of it...I have two weeks to decide if the awesome camera is worth the heft....

I was worried about the heft at first too, but it really is a solid phone.
Heft wasn't really the best choice of word for me. I'm not really concerned with thickness or weight - it's width. I use my phone with one hand most of the time, and it's a bit too wide for comfort when typing one handed. So I would have the same problem (or bigger) on most high end phones these days...the 8x is one of the few that would be better in that area.
This plus the IE reloading/bad multitasking issue sounds like a bad combination...Just FYI, to use Pandora, just use their HTML5 site with IE10. Works fine with volume and pause controls from the OS. Skip doesn't work though.

On a positive note of WinPho8 I have to give major kudos to the interface between bluetooth and text messages. It's brilliant.
When I'm in the car and a text comes in a voice prompt (that's much more natural sounding than Siri) comes on and says "Message from 'Jessie'. Would you like to have it read?"
You can say yes and it will read the message. When it's done it asks you if you would like to reply or end the conversation. If you say "Reply" it will then ask you to say your message. You say it and then it'll read it back to you. You can then chose to keep it, redo it, or end it. When you are happy with the dictation you can send it back.
Very cool. I guess this was in WP7 too, but it just had very little press compared to Siri. This is one of the best uses of voice recognition I've used in a phone.
