Main difference with the Huawei is the slightly bigger IPS screen, bigger battery, slightly faster processor.

Not worried about battery or processor (Only a little bit faster) but is the IPS screen a lot better than the 620's screen? Going to play with them at O2 trw but what's your thoughts?

thanks

It's a ClearBlack TFT display:

ClearBlack display isn’t a completely new type of display technology like AMOLED. It’s actually a method to reduce reflections on the screen and improve visual image quality, especially outdoors. ClearBlack ensures that the blacks you see really are just that – black – which in turn enhances the contrast of the display and makes the whole screen much easier to see.
This will be especially useful for apps like Nokia Drive, which are likely to be used outside. Also, sharing pictures or other items on-screen with others will be a lot easier due to the technology that enables excellent viewing angles.
Effectively, with ClearBlack display your device is able to provide a high quality image in any type of situation, indoors, outdoors, low-light and bright-light. ClearBlack display adjusts the brightness automatically to optimum level depending on the conditions you are in.

Another advantage is that by improving the image quality, and reducing the need to turn up the brightness, you also reduce the energy needed to power the display, and hence reduce the battery drain compared to regular technology, and so your mobile device will last longer between charges.

That's from 2010, and the technology has improved since then, but it also means the smaller battery of the Lumia 620 does not matter.

I have Nokia Lumia 620 and it's just awesome. I know the offer has been expired on 3rd April, for those who reside in UK; still it is worth to have!  Enjoy.
