I like the back.

 

[BlueTsunami]

That's pretty nice looking. Dig the minimalist front and how the color encroaches on the bottom front.

Main problems are the ugly logos on both sides.

Cover em up.

Then you can pretend it's a working movie prop and that the OS was made for the movie.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Never a fan of that kind of camera bulge.

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

Better than putting the OS name into the product name.

"HTC Windows Phone 8X". Bleh.

Now that you've mentioned it, Nokia seems to be... um, acting like it's part of Microsoft when it comes to their WP devices.

I think it'd be more accurate to say that Nokia is acting like it is pretty far away from Microsoft. They always push Lumia, never Windows Phone

 

[HollovVpo1nt]

Elop is a plant, on a mission to break Nokia to a point where MS can buy bits like the mapping business even cheaper than it is now.

Is he wrong thought? MS can make WP desirable with their surface phone and overprice it so people will go with cheaper but equally as good solution.

Microsoft stores have HTC WP8 training this Friday.

Microsoft stores have HTC WP8 training this Friday.

yea i was thinking of going to one
edit: the store i go to doesnt have HTC WP training, only getting to know Windows 8....

 

[VanMardigan]

Lots of interesting discussions here about the surface, surface phone, Nokia stock, etc.

I just want the 920, though. Can I buy it yet? Please?

Windows Phone fans have to have the patience of a saint. It's maybe the only thing about WP that makes me sad.

 

[VanMardigan]

I'm probably the opposite of patient though, I just upgraded to the Focus S I'm using less than a year ago. It works perfectly fine, so I'm embarrassed that I'm upgrading again this year.

Its just too big of a software and hardware upgrade to pass up though.

WP8 Skype demo. Looks good.

Yeah, it does look good. Anything in the video that Microsoft doesn't want us to know yet? You know, one of their "secret features?"

Messages in the big tile? Fuck yeah.

Very hot overall.

Hey don't feel bad, I just got Lumia 900 (which is replacing the Titan I got at the same time you got your Focus S) and I am planning to either get 8X or the 920. (Probably 920 cyan, so wife doesn't know I actually got a new phone, don't rat on me guys)

Sometimes it's nice to have kids on my plan, I got two more contract I can abuse.

 

[thirty]

what do you guys think the 920 will cost, off contract?

my guess is $499.

 

[Milchjon]

International prices suggest a higher price, don't they?

 

[brotkasten]

It's the most expensive Windows Phone 8.

 

[hwalker84]

LOL. $650 is what I expect.

 

[DrFunk]

$549 from ATT

$650 for international version

 

[hwalker84]

$549 from ATT

yeah about that. My wallet is braced for $650 incase.

lumia 900 was only $450.

edit: speak of the devil, WalMart leaked some pricing.

It’s safe to say that many of us are eagerly anticipating some of the newest handsets T-Mobile will let loose into the world in the coming weeks, and with our eagerness comes curiosity over pricing. Thankfully we’ve managed to answer at least part of the question with an early looking at Walmart’s pricing on the Galaxy Note II, Windows Phone 8X, Lumia 810, and LG Optimus L9.

Generally speaking, Walmart is less expensive than T-Mobile directly but when it comes to the Galaxy Note II, $299 is looking like a standardized price considering that’s the same price Sprint announced for their Note II variant. As with all early pricing, these amounts are subject to change:

Windows Phone 8X: $148.00
LG Optimus LG: $0.97
Nokia Lumia 810: $99.88
Samsung Galaxy Note II: $299
Let’s hope these prices hold true and mirror T-Mobile’s own pricing.

on contract pricing but I can see the 810 and the 8X priced around $350-400 off contract.

 

[Troll]

So probably 199 on contract for the 920?

 

[Heretic]

Any idea what my new 8X is going to run me? I'm lucky there's no hockey this season...

 

[thirty]

pricing details should be leaked by the end of the weekend as training for the WP8 phones have already begun with some retailers.

Hopefully some people that really love and are familiar with the OS leak some hands on footage

 

[VanMardigan]

If the 920 is $650 and the 8x or Ativ S is $400 or below.......I think i'd pocket the difference.

 

[Magni]

Same. I really want the 920, but I have to be reasonable.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

I'm mentally prepared to get the 8X for money and potentially colour availability color. we shall see.

 

[thirty]

yeah, imagine if you pay $700 for the 920 and a 41mp w/ OIS Lumia 1000 is announced for a spring release.

 

[Firestorm]

If Lumia 920 really is pentaband I'll be getting it regardless since it would let me switch to Wind or Mobilicity without having to grab a new phone once my contract with Rogers is up next year.

 

[hwalker84]

I'd sell the 920 and buy the 1000. No different then what Android fans go through.

 

[NeOak]

It is not pentaband, has no 1700Mhz.

 

[Firestorm]

I was going off this story linked to in the other thread: http://mobilesyrup.com/2012/10/16/nokia-lumia-820-920-pentaband/

But reading the comments it seems the 900 also went to FCC with 1700 MHz listed and turned out to not have it

Blame AT&T/Rogers

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I'm pleased, thank you.

Does shorting their stock count as investing in Nokia?

Well, actually I guess it does. Nevermind.

 

[killer rin]

Blame AT&T/Rogers

Well can you blame Rogers, How else are they going to keep people from switching to Wind

 

[kharma45]

Live wallpapers? Actually nvm, that's the Bing images isn't it that'll change everyday?

 

[Damon Bennet]

yesss auto changing wallpaper? love that!

 

[PG2G]

I believe it is actually an API so any apps can take advantage of it.

Roger's announces their WP8 lineup

Nokia Lumia 920 (exclusive)
Samsung ATIV S
HTC 8X 16 Gig
HTC 8X 8 Gig (exclusive)

And Samsung ATIV Smart PC (exclusive carrier sales)

 

[Coldsnap]

The sexy ones?

Never.

 

[Coldsnap]

I actually just realized I wanted the 8X which is NOT a Nokia phone.. Hard to keep track of these things. The 8x coming to Verizon?

Apparently the 920 is still black only and the 8X 16B is in blue. Not sure what I will do. I guess wait and see what the prices are like and how the 8X compares in reviews. Fucking Rogers.

Yes, the 8X is coming to Verizon.
