Lumia 900 case, Pureview Camera, and WP8? Nokia's got a massive hit on its hands so long as it doesn't hamstring itself by only selling the 920 on AT&T, like it did the 900. Not every is willing to switch carriers just to get hardware (only US Cellular and Verizon have decent coverage in southern Oregon; AT&T is a non-starter).

Upon reviewing those images, that's most certainly not the Pureview hardware from the 808 Pureview. Maybe there's PureView-branded software or some tripe like that, but the sensor and such just aren't big enough for that to be the same-caliber hardware as the 808 Pureview has.

Lumia 920 with "Pureview":



Nokia already diluted the Karl Zeiss name by attaching it to the decidedly-unremarkable camera on the Lumia 900...let's hope they're not now diluting the Pureview name in the same way.

I want Nokia to succeed, but right now, the Ativ S is definitely the nicer-looking phone with a bigger screen and probably lighter-weight construction, and the camera is a known quantity (in a good way...it appears to be the same hardware from the Galaxy S3).

Massive hit? We'll see; but I doubt it.

I was talking more along the lines of dominating other Windows Phones such as the Ativ S and the rumored HTC Juggernaut. WP8's market share versus iOS and Android is a separate question that I wasn't meaning to get into.
