Thinking about red or white if the one ATT doesn't have yellow/cyan.

Went to the ATT store this morning..
ended up with a white Lumia 920..
It looked a lot nicer than I expected.
It feels better in the hand than my 900 did.. loving the device so far.
I got it for $350 w/ early upgrade.. I know some people have managed to get it for the 2 yr contract price over the phone, but I wasn't planning on leaving ATT, so starting my 2 yr contract over doesn't bother me..
They didn't have the charging plates, but the guy I was working with knew about the promotion and they took down my information and will contact me when they have them so that I can come get one.

Man, my local ATT store was packed! I cancelled my order for the cyan 920 and went in and got a red one. They'll be mailing me the charging plate in 5 to 7 business days!
Oh god it's so gorgeous!
Oh god it's so gorgeous!
I'll do that, thanks.
Glad to see there is a version of our phone that already outdates ours. Such is the way on the bleeding edge.
so heres my 1 hour impression...phone is slick as hell and I really am liking the small tiles...first app problem is Spotify.... doesn't support Windows Phone 8 due to the resolution (wont scale up or create bars it seems)
Signed up for 1 month of Xbox Music to replace it before my trip tonight and so far soo good.
I dont regret the matte black, its a different finish then the black of the 900, the phone feels great, it weighs more but its not as bad as its been hyped up.

Photophotophotophoto!
And did the people at the store show any interest in the 920?
Okay, we need someone to verify this.
According to Phones4U's website, there's no indication that it's locked to Orange/T-M/EE.
Just says SIM free...one brave soul ought to purchase it and test it on either O2 or Vodafone etc.
I will be buying it either tomorrow or Monday if Phones4U will let me (have it in their store) and will report back.
Going to pick up my Lumia later today. I'm assuming this phone won't be too hard to find.
I actually got myself a HTC Surround (just to test out Win phone) in March. Loved it, but thought I'd give Android a try, so got myself the Galaxy S3 earlier this week. It's a fantastic phone and it definitely has it's advantages, but I think Windows Phone has converted me. Since I just bought the S3, I'm still able to exchange it, which is what I'm going to do. Just hope I can find that phone in the color I want it.

Awesome! Much appreciated man.
Also, which network are you on/will you be testing it on?
I am on Orange, but I have a Giff Gaff SIM and a 3 SIM I shall be testing. Almost tempted to go out right now and get it.. but I am still not sure if I want to blow the £460..

WELL???
I wonder would they even let you try it in the shop to see.
I'm still baffled by the pocket-lint 820 review.
The things it has over the 920:
-25g lighter (without the charging cover, I assume)
-swappable battery
-swappable back covers
-SD card slot.
-$50 less on contract
So these things are supposed to make it 30 percentage points better (90% vs 60% if you adjust their scale to percent), with a quarter of the storage, screen and camera not even being in the same vicinity, the battery being a lot worse according to their own reviews, the design being an ugly piece of crap compared to the 920...
I read it as an admission of the irrationality of these reviews.
Edit: A review is supposed to be a buyers guide. Unless you really, really care about weight, no one should promote the 820 over the 920 to anyone at the current price.

Waiting for the sim to activate.

Dem curves
OMG.
OMG ... so hot
I really love the dark buttons vs the chrome on the 900. Much more industrial/less tacky
Just wondering, did you get 2 packages?
Mass Effect 3 reminds me of that.
No just one. God the thing is so fast. The buttons are also more pronounced as the camera button sticks out a lot farther than the 900. I don't look at it like a bad thing as it shows the button has some travel now.

Blarg my Yellow 920 is still processing. Also am I the only person to get yellow?
No, there are a few of you getting it. The orders for Yellow won't ship until Monday so you're going to wait a little longer.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Red sold out everywhere. Had to order it. Hopefully 3-5 business days
After playing around with it in the store though, I settled on Red. The gloss finish is beautiful, and the red design went well with so many tile themes (white background was hot too). The Matte finish is really nice too, but the red just won me over.
As for the phone itself, playing around with it, the build quality is phenomenal, the screen is a beauty too and very resistant to thumbprints compared to my current phone.

Good to hear as that's what we're upgrading from. We could have had ours today if we didn't opt for the kitchen-yellow version. Ah well, 920 and WiiU next week. We'll be in hardware heaven!

I'll upload a photo when I get home. Unfortunately I have nothing to take a picture of it with right now haha
And the employees were pretty interested in it. Especially the charging plate. I had two employees express interest in it. They were mostly wondering how fast it charged the phone compared to plugging it in.

Trying to decide between this and the Nexus 4, but I need confirmation on battery life for both. It's really bothersome that tech sites are getting mixed results for the Nexus 4 and even worse they don't seem to be performing the same battery tests for phones or fail to mention any concrete numbers.
