I really want the 920, but I'm not going to leave Verizon to get it. If Verizon didn't work as well for me maybe I would, but Verizon is rock solid where I'm at. I think the 8X is a fine device, but I'll be disappointed if the 920 doesn't come to Verizon. I really think that isn't a wise move by Nokia. As was said earlier HTC stands to sell a lot of phones that could be Nokia sales.
to make looks like a week exclusive at most. I'm sure AT&T will understand that they want Wp to be third so they will make the exclusive short. I think they will rather sacrifice their long exclusive for more sales and market share in the future. because if verizon gets the 920 a week later and advertise it then wp gets more market share and more market share means more sales. and if AT&T gets a flagship device in the future with wp market share high then they will have more sales on that device. It looks like this outcome
YES!!! that's right!!!!No, but I'm pretty certain VZW will be getting the 920 or a variation of it.
I've said before, but my source at VZW had said in the past that AT&T will get a 30 day exclusive window with Nokia. VZW is likely to launch the 920 on Black Friday.
The HTC 8X will be the flagship phone for VZW in the first month alongside the ATIV S, the 8S, and possibly a variation of the 820.
But I'm pretty sure that both Nokia phones will be on VZW by December.

What does your source at VZW do? Not trying to troll, but your source being a sales rep vs. working at VZW headquarters vs. a VZW call center makes a big difference as to what info they would have access to.
That's good to hear. Hopefully your source knows what (s)he is talking about. I'll probably wait until December, but if there's no 920 on Verizon at that point then I'm going HTC or Samsung.No, but I'm pretty certain VZW will be getting the 920 or a variation of it.

Corporate contracts. Negotiates contracts and deployment for larger Verizon customers like Clearchannel, etc. He knows where Verizon is going because he's kept in the loop to prepare his big customers.
They currently are working on a large program to get corporate purchasing and discounting (for BYOD stuff) moved over the WP8 next year. Verizon wants to get business off of iPhone and Android as both cost them a lot of extra money compared to what they believe WP8 will cost.
He nailed the Droid marketing from a few years ago and has said that VZW will do something even bigger for Windows Phone to end the year and begin next year.
He also told me about the LTE lineup last year, the reasons why the Bionic, for instance, took so long to hit and the issues behind the LTE chipset that had problems reseting. He has also said the VZW has been prepping for the WP8 launch for two years and I've seen the memos to back that up.
You can trust me or not, but my source at VZW has helped me a lot over the years (and gotten me plenty of free goodies).
Nokia wanted to reward AT&T for their support earlier this year when the other carriers wanted to just wait until WP8. AT&T was willing to carry the Lumia 900 even though they knew it would not be upgradeable. Getting the 920 first is a thank you to them. Those that "gotta have it" will jump to AT&T.
But expect a HUGE Black Friday Windows Phone push from Verizon with some crazy prices for those who want to go to a VZW store on that day, including early contract discounts and incentives to trade in iPhones and Android devices.
Perfect.
MacPhisto outlines a rollout strategy from Verizon -complete with dates and devices. And it sounds like a fairly reliable source to boot.
Now Miller comes in right on cue, and starts his usual whine about how there are no dates, no pricing - even though the exact thing you are whining about has been addressed.
Honest to God, someone could provide a notarized document stating which carrier will get which device on this date and you'd still complain. For God's sake just get an S3 and be done with it already. Clearly, no Windows device will ease your pain so go with something that will make you happy.
