The 900 sold so well on just the one carrier, it only made sense to do the exact same thing!......
Nokia AND Microsoft want, need, to move handsets quickly. Exclusivity might drive up hype, but it does not drive adoption. As much as people want the latest and greatest, they also want to have what everyone has, what their friends are using. What doesn't make sense to me is that they ALREADY tried this with the 900, and look how many 900's are out there; not nearly as many as they'd hoped. Someone much smarter than I defined insanity as trying the same thing but expecting different results. These seems like one of those times.
I certainly hope that an earlier poster is right, with the 920 and 820 being ATT exclusives, & the 922 & 822 going to Verizon. Not only because I'm a Verizon customer, but because Windows Phone needs exposure to get people to buy.
I'm aware that the carriers decide that what phones they stock, but this is still a raw deal for a lot of consumers.
