Ok good. I remember before you could like a post, but not someone's comment within the post. I guessing you still can't do either thing from the people hub?

those are the frequencies AT&T use, now check your network of choice but it looks ok
I see my wife's Data Pro 2 GB plan has been replaced with Data Pro 2 GB for 4G LTE when I go through the upgrade stuff. They have a SKU# listed as 118190042 for this plan.
Is it possible to get AT&T to use that SKU to add that plan to a different line?
If that's the case, anyone have the SKU for unlimited data?

Yes, it works. Europe uses 3G on 2100 Mhz. No LTE though.
You can't add unlimited. The system doesn't allow it unless its overridden with an authorization by a supervisor.

AT&T just took $449 out of my bank account.......it's happening. :O

i swear this best be a 4g only problem. i neeeeed my 920. maybe i'll just buy an american one...
They just sent me an email that said my order has been processed and is being sent to shipping. It's happening. Also. Whoever gets it first with pictures wins the WP thread.
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
I haven't gotten the confirmation email and I live in the US Virgin Islands, so I won't be winning the thread. 
I'd say is an even deal
Nexus 4 8GB = $300
Nexus 4 16GB = $350
Lumia 920 32GB plus LTE and a camera with OIS = $450
Talking only about hardware you are getting more with the Lumia so it makes sense it is more expensive, the Nexus is one hell of a deal tough.
Nokia's handling of the 920 release here in the UK is a joke. Poor form
Anyway, I'm currently using a Lumia 800, does anyone know if it's possible to reduce the size of the "Time, day & Date" font on the wallpaper (lock) screen?
If anyone's a fan of TMNT 1, I have a nice wallpaper

I would agree with the first if the 920 was unlocked.
Hardware I would call an even trade off since the N4 does have an APQ8064 and not the 8960.

*cough* iPhone 5 *cough*
Can't wait for iPhone 6 "The cheapest thing that happenned to the iPhone since the iPhone"
It won't happen
The iPhone is one of the best phones to buy value-wise if you upgrade every year tbh. One year later, it retains its value much better than any other phone.
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
This is true, good point. I was shocked by how much I got for my wife's 3gs on Ebay two years ago.
I think the bedazzled back cover of the Nexus 4 is worth at least a hundred.
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
That said, I don't think you save much in the long run with the high price. So, let's say that I can only get $200 for my Lumia 920 next year. So I lost more than half its value in a year, $250. If the next Lumia is priced at $450, then I have to make up a $250 difference. (BTW, I'm doing the value thing based on how much I'm getting for my Focus S, maybe the Nokia will retain value slightly better).
Then suppose I pay $700 for the iPhone 5, and it retains MOST of its value, so it's worth $400 a year for now, it's more of an out of pocket cost for next year's iPhone. And I was being generous with the iPhone value and punitive with the Lumia 920 value.
So, I take it back, I disagree that for yearly upgrade people, iPhone is best.

Any chance these work in the states with T-Mobile?
Whoa whoa whoa, the wireless charging pads are sold out? Hearing reports all over the place, some say the pad is included automatically with purchase, others that you have to track the pad down in the accessories section when ordering, I looked and couldn't find it. Not cool if I've missed a chance to snag one for free and I ordered late last night right when they were available.

u didn't want that witch craft on your desk anyway
It seems if you are grandfathered in that you are still good. I could add my 200 text + unlimited 4G plan.
Hell yes, I love me some good desktop witchcraft. AT&T chat rep just said it was included automatically with an order, and it will come with the phone if there were inventory still in stock. I snagged it as soon as the phone was on the site, might have a good chance then. Time to play the wait and see game. fingers and toes crossed!
yeah I'm in the boat, wait and see. I ordered this morning though. while placing the order I searched for the charger but found nothing. if att includes it that means it won't be on the receipt which will mean I also qualify for the nokia offer. if the charger isn't sent automatically i could call att and say I spoke to a rep who said they'd be mailed out automatically and boom, a free charger. then use my receipt that shows just the phone and use that for the nokia deal, double boom.
Okay, finally.
I have some answers.
I was about to order an AT&T Matte Cyan Lumia 920 with my friend who is in the USA to ship it to the UK, but I noticed a problem. GSM is Petaband, but AT&T's Lumia 920 only supports 4G/LTE at the frequencies "700MHz" (Band 17) and "2100/1700MHz" (Band 4).
Okay fair enough, I thought.
EE in the UK dish out their 4G/LTE signal on an old TV frequency "1800MHz" (Band 3) and later carriers will offer 4G/LTE signal at "800MHz" (Band 20).
Now obviously, the AT&T Lumia 920 will not work with UK 4G/LTE networks but it will work with 3G (which isn't the end of the world).
I got curious and popped in my girlfriend's au (Japanese CDMA network) phone's IMEI number and, with a long time searching, found out that Japan dishes out LTE with the popular frequency "2100MHz" (Band 1).
--
EE's boring Black & White Lumia 920s are supposed to be Petaband (all GSM) as well as offer compatibility with the following frequencies: "800 / 1800 / 2600 / 2100 / 900"
^ -- in other words, with the exception of the USA and Canada, the phone EE was supposed to be offering was supposed to be absolutely amazing as it would work in the UK and Japan on LTE. Pretty badarse, and if I had known I would say "worth the wait".
There's now only one problem with waiting.
...
Where is Matte Cyan in the UK?
=/ pfft, I don't mind waiting another month (2 would be stretching it) if I got a very convenient phone.

Stop tempting me to get boring white color! I have decide to go with red if they have that in store on Friday.
So the US one won't work in Europe or Japan? I'm in the US now, moving back to France in a couple months until the end of the summer, and then I'm supposed to spend six months in SK followed by six months in Japan before coming back to the US after that. I want a phone that works at least on 3G in all those countries

This might explain the delays:
This looks like a shop. I can say this with absolute certainty, having seen many shops in my time.
Never thought one day I'd be able to use this line.

Stop by At&t store, ask about 920, sale manager pull out his 900 and tell me he can't wait. They are not sure what color they are getting but he told me not to worry it's Windows Phone no one wants it so should be plenty for me to choose from. :-/
I don't think comparing the bands alone is enough. When it's locked to AT&T, it's locked to AT&T and not just the bands AT&T uses.
