Windows Phone 8 - Page 6

Lumia 920 paper-launched. It's better than the 900 in every way except one: no more FM tuner (all Windows Phone 7.5 devices required it).

From what Ive heard from people that have "unofficially" reviewed the 920 is that it's hands down the best smartphone out there....

The only problem that's being reported about it is that it's a Windows Phone...
Windows seems to have a problem getting people to get with Windows as a mobile phone...I guess this is supposed to be Microsofts last big effort to get peoples interests so this is either going to be a last big bang for MS or finally what gets people going...

I think the problem isn't Nokia or Windows, it's all the people in the AT&T, Verzion, T-Mobile, etc. stores are now pushing Android sales. What the sales people push is what most people buy.

Of course, part of that has to do with Windows limited app selection by comparison but that's quickly changing. Add in the fact that Windows 8 and Windows Phone shares stores, app availability in Windows Stores is going to boom.

I want a winphone but no prepaid options that don't touch ATT and I will never touch them with a 9878765656554 mile cellphone tower

Yeah, AT&T is an asshole. I've been looking at changing to Verizon for a while now.
