Press-release; Lumia 920 for $99 and Lumia 820 for $49 on contract with AT&T

In the states, the 920 is exclusive to AT&T, but Verizon and T-Mobile will get 820 variants:

810 (T-Mobile)

822 (Verizon)

Where's the WP7.8 update for those Lumia 710/800/900 phones?

 

[Heretic]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Fucking T-Mobile!!!

 

[Snaku]

I was totally on board with waiting for the 920, and I've waited six months to get my first smartphone. But dat price.

Nexus 4 is too good a deal to pass up. Maybe I'll get a Lumia one day.

 

[Troll]

I'm in for two.

It's only $99 on contract with AT&T

 

[UraMallas]

Lumia 920 in Cyan! Good bye, Verizon. I can't pass up $100 phone that looks that good with such a great camera. The free wireless charging pad is icing on the cake.

Price is $100 on contract with a free wireless charging pad.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Nice OT. You should add information about Nokia Drive+, Nokia Maps and Nokia Transit.

 

[ektoll]

Nice title!


I'm disappointed by the price of the phone alone, so that's why I'll choose the N4 but goddamn the 920 is really really a great device :/

 

[kharma45]

Take out that WMP review from the OP

 

[Divvy]

Looks to be a great phone and the price is pretty great too. I would have gotten this if it weren't for the N4 pricing. That and they're only selling the black one in Canada right now.

 

[Snaku]

It's only $99 on contract with AT&T

$90 a month minimum for texting and 3GB of data with the AT&T/Lumia for 2 years, or $30 a month 100mins, unlimited texting and data with tmobile/Nexus 4.

And I'd have to pay a $150 deposit when I sign up for that 2 year contract because I have no credit.

Not a hard choice.

Also, the second image appears to the right of the first for me

 

[Anton Sugar]

I think you should include links to the press release/post on the $100 + free charging pad offer from ATT.

Take out that WMP review from the OP

Yeah.

 

[KoukiFC]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Fucking T-Mobile!!!

Why not get an unlocked one? Just make sure it supports the 1700Mhz AWS.

 

[EightBitNate]

Take out that WMP review from the OP

Oh, I just saw it in the Windows Phone thread but haven't read it. Whats wrong with it?

No, it doesn't sound like a hard choice.

I already pay that much for my phone so it's not a hard choice for me, either. The only thing that worries me now is if I can port my phone number over even though I'll be pre-ordering online tomorrow. I hope so.

Over a 24 month period, the Nexus 4 adds up to about $45/month with the 8GB version on the T-Mobile plan.

($300 + tax + 2 day air shipping)/24 months + $30/month (no tax)

----------------

Anyway, OP can use more detail. Nice title.

It's rather... poorly written. I wouldn't use their site as a main source on most stuff, to say it's amateurish at times would be an understatement.

You'd be better off with these reviews

Even if you don't agree with them they're a lot more reputable sites than WMP.

 

[SeanR1221]

Picking up one hopefully this weekend. I jumped from an iPhone when wp7 launched and wasn't happy so I switched back. WP8 looks to fix all the problems I had before.

 

[Raistlin]

Still mad about grey, but that entry price is making me reconsider an import or dev phone purchase.


Probably going to hit up AT&T tomorrow morning for my birthday.

What are you arguing? I'm agreeing with him. I was saying "no. it doesn't sound like a hard choice."

Oh i'll be pre-ordering one in blue. Can pre-orders done online be picked up in store?

If I've read correctly, only the developer builds are compatible with T-Mobile

Confused about the pronoun "it."

Ah I see you reworded your comment.

 

[kharma45]

Thanks

They're pretty much the only site I'd say to avoid, the rest are fair enough game imo, even if you don't agree with their scores (like The Verge) they're at least well enough reviewed and don't look like I wrote the review when I was 8 years old.

 

[cube444]

I can listen to music with this at the gym and also substitute it as a 30 pound dumbbell when they're being used.

 

[RivalCore]

Intending to pick up an off contract one when I can figure out when the fuck Nokia plans to release this in Ireland.

Out of interest, could I buy a sim-free from Germany and run it in English?

 

[UraMallas]

They are throwing in a free spotter at select gym locations. Make sure your gym qualifies.

Pretty sure you can, but this is me going by anecdotal evidence when there was a HotUKDeals thread for people importing the Optimus 7 from Amazon.de when the price from there worked out over £100 cheaper than buying it in the UK.

 

[Souldriver]

fap fap fap.

White 920 is pure sex.


Wish there was a black tiles theme in WP though. Like this:

WMPoweruser at least knows about FB integration and e-mail copy/paste.

It is pentaband, the four AT@T bands and one more for lifting it

It's just high contrast mode iirc

True they do know more about the platform, but I feel someone like WPCentral would be better if we wanted a WP focused site in the OP although I don't think their review is out yet, all they have is this

Perfect! God I hate the hyperbole on the weight of these phones.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Finlands last stand. Scary.


I really like how the phone looks, not sold on WP8 at all, but I really want to try one. That weight picture is really spot on.

I felt the same with WP7 when it first arrived, thought it wasn't for me at all but when I tried it on an HD7 for the first time I was blown again with how fluid and easy to use it was.

True it doesn't have every app most people will want but it's 80-90% there at this stage.

 

[Subitai]

Great title, but the OP could use more JBL accessory pics!

I really like WP UI so I've been considering getting one for a while. I don't really have money though..

They done fucked up the UK launch, no way I'm going with EE when a Nexus 4 + GiffGaff is so cheap.

 

[Milchjon]

OP is missing the most important review:

[kharma45]

They done fucked up the UK launch, no way I'm going with EE when a Nexus 4 + GiffGaff is so cheap.

That's exactly what I'm doing, I was so ready to splurge a big wad of cash on it until Nokia pulled that move, although the HTC 8X at £380 through O2 still appeals.
