I read somewhere that 920 wouldn't upgrade to windows phone 8 when it is released any truth on that?

I thought the 920 comes with WP8 already installed?

Edit:

It does.

 

[Quikies83]

Am I reading this right? Blue option will not be available for preorder? Just red, yellow, black and white?

 

[Black-Box]

If all the reviews (that I've read) feel its a big enough issue to mention, then I would take their word over that of whoever created that image since they likely haven't even held the phone yet. But I don't care, cuz I do lift!

They are just comparing it to the iPhone 5. Also they are all probably iPhone 5 users so the 920 probably feels heavier then it actually does to them. They must be trying to set the iPhone 5 as the standard.

 

[Tekniqs]

in for white..


but in for matte color of any kind

Where did you read that? The press release lists cyan.

Are you confusing that cyan and yellow are online orders through AT&T?

Cyan is up for BB.

 

[cube444]

I'm not feeling that cyan. I'll have to see it in person.

 

[metsallica]

Do we know the unsubsidized US price yet? Is it even possible to purchase one that way?

 

[Raistlin]

Cyan is up for BB.

Let me clarify ...

If you want to get it or yellow IIRC, through AT&T, you have to do it via their website. They will not be carrying stock within their stores (though you can have them order it for you there I assume). I wasn't saying it's exclusively online at AT&T.


To the original point though ... I'm saying none of this has anything to do with pre-orders.

 

[Raistlin]

Take a lot at the 900 to get an idea. They should still have them at AT&T stores, etc.

$599 IIRC. It would still be carrier locked to AT&T though.


The alternate is to get an international version (which I don't think will work with AT&T LTE). However importing will cost you.

I suppose a 3rd alternative is get a dev phone. Though that will cost you even more than an international rev.

Or at a Rogers in Canada. Telus usually has a cyan 800 on display as well.

 

[cube444]

Thanks guys, will do.

Any idea as to what colours will be available in Canada?

Black only. Rogers forum and blog has been bombarded by people complaining. If it's like the 900 we will get cyan several months later

Colour choice is a big factor with phone I choose. The 8X is confirmed to be coming in Blue to Rogers and I imagine Bell.

 

[Quikies83]

Did Best Buy change their preorder price to match AT&T? $99?

 

[Troll]

Yup!

 

[Quikies83]

Yup!

Very nice!
Will either store let you preorder online or over the phone and then pick up in store?

 

[thirty]

I guess we'll know in a few hours whether the free charging plate from att is their thing or nokia's.

I hate when they limit colour options like that.

 

[EightBitNate]

Why would you want Cyan? Gray is the way.

That's the one I'd want. :lol

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Drop tests might be the dumbest thing to hit the internet.

Um, no. Drop tests are quite useful to see if your next phone will survive or not when gravity helps you put it on the ground. Fast.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

I know, but this way they can say "hey look, we got new colours". Except months later people have already chosen something else.

 

[Rad Agast]

Any info on where I can find an unlocked 920 in the US?

 

[yn-neko hates a cat]

My HTC HD7 is 162 grams and it's never been a problem from day one. If you want a phone with a nice big screen, a skin that don't crack, plentiful battery and the best camera technology then 185 grams is not even a topic to be hung up on.

The problem is that the tech blogs are nothing more than reflexive entities that cater to popular trends to maintain their readerships attention. This sometimes means validating their readerships purchase decisions.

 

[starchild excalibur]

It's even funnier due to the amount of shitty otterboxes I see people use.

?

What's wrong with otterboxes? Or are you just talking aesthetically?

 

[Dead]

Can't wait to have my Cyan Lumia 920

 

[hwalker84]

To bad grey has totally disappeared once cyan reemerged.

Thanks Raistlin! How would I go about getting a developer phone?

eBay

Basically there's a special black pentaband dev phone Nokia made for BUILD attendees. A number have shown up for sale.

 

[Bullza2o]

Just preordered my black Lumia 920. It says it's arriving on Friday. I seriously cannot wait!

 

[UraMallas]

Where did you order from?

 

[RBH]

Now available for pre-order from Best Buy:

[Bullza2o]

ATT.com premier. I upgraded.

 

[UraMallas]

Called Best Buy mobile and they couldn't do a pre-order because the rep couldn't find the phone yet. I'll call tomorrow and ask about the wireless charging plate. I'll try AT&T first.

 

[MarkusRJR]

A green 920 would look so amazing that I'd buy it outright.

 

[TwIsTeD]

either the at&t site is screwed with upgrades or I read the fine print and a family plan line pays the full $199 and the cost of the wireless charge plate....at $99 i`ll bite but not at $249 + tax

 

[thirty]

damn att site isn't for me. when i click pre-order it isn't adding to cart.

 

[bigtroyjon]

Can you transfer a number through Best Buy or do you have to go directly through ATT?

Would like to go through Best Buy due to credit card bonuses if possible.

I read that adding the wireless charger to your cart should subtract $100 from the $199 to bring the total cost to $99, but it could just be a case of the website screwing up.

 

[Milchjon]

?

Nothing wrong with them, there's just something wrong with people acting like their fucking arms will fall off due to the 920's weight when a great number of people keeps their iPhone 5 in one of these and can handle it without a problem.

 

[dLMN8R]

:lol: holy shit I love this thread title

I've read that you only get the free charging pad with the black one. Is that true?

no, the charging pad you get only comes in black.

yea kept trying and it charges full $199 and $49 for the charge plate. too lazy to call right now to haha

 

[dLMN8R]

no, the charging pad you get only comes in black.

ohhhh, the charging pad itself is black.

Ok, so what

 

[lastflowers]

:lol: holy shit I love this thread title

should have seen some of the jokes in the wp7 OT

 

[UraMallas]

Can you transfer a number through Best Buy or do you have to go directly through ATT?

I called them about an hour ago to confirm and they told me that they can transfer the number. essentially, you would pre order the phone and when you receive it and activate it you can switch at that time. at least that's what the rep told me.

 

[Robobandit]

I need to figure out if it's cheaper to add a line to my family plan and pay the $99 or cheaper overall to buy the device outright.

Right now it looks like adding a line to the family plan would be the cheaper option... the given the $9.99/mo for the line.. so $240 + $99 - $49 (free charging plate) is less than $449 + tax to buy the device outright.

Thank you for the info!

 

[Rayven_king]

played with my bosses Lumia 900 the other day I really like the form and how it feels on my hands. I really wanna get this or the nexus 4

 

[Demy]

So has anyone been able to pre-order through the att site? Every time I click pre-order on the site it just reloads the page and nothing happens. Also I haven't upgraded my phone in a while anyone know the activation fee?
