I'm allowed to change devices, but if I want the office to continue to pay, I have to stick with Rogers.
I do realize that I'll be missing out on a lot of popular apps, but a)it is primarily a work phone, and b)I'm moving from a Blackberry Torch, so it's not like I've got a lot going on with my current phone. If I can access news and Twitter, I'm good.
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this phone and has suggestions or tips.

I switched over to the 920 from an iphone. So far, I really like it. The Windows Phone 8 OS is awesome for a mixed work/personal phone. The live tiles really make it easy to create "zones" where you can custom organize all your communication. (You can create tiles for each separate email account, or even a tile for a particular person that will centralize various email accounts, facebook, and mobile phone messaging).
The apps are still pretty weak, but the full set of development tools for the Windows 8 OS have only been out for a couple months. Things should get better soon.
If you get the phone, my biggest tip would be to switch off the "Tap+Send" feature on the settings. (It's a huge battery hog and its not a feature most people use).
