Hello y'all, on saturday i tried to buy the 822 from the corporate store ans hour from me, they didnt have any windows 8 working models to show, and had only a surfact fablet turned on but not functioning in a case, and nobody could answer any questions about win 8 phone for me or my wife, and tried VERY hard to push me to a droid razor m.
so on monday at best buy i tried to look at the windows 8 phones again well all they had on hand was tmobile 810 dummy phone. so i went to ANOTHER best buy store an hour from the previous one and they had an actual htc 8x phone from at&t except they didnt have it set up AT ALL so all it could do was power up and off and nobdy there knew a single thing about it and no i couldnt order a verion win 8 device. so then today i went to my local verizon retailer and went in and they had a working 822. but spent the whole entire time telling me how bad it was while at the same time telling me that he doesnt know a single thing about windows phones! then immediatly after i told him that i didnt want another android phone that my motorola electrify, my samgung galaxy s2, my droid rincredible 4g lte and my samsung galaxy s3 were unreliable and i was leaving the system. so then he pushed us HARD to buy the lg spectrum and when i asked how much for the 822 phone he quoted $100 more than buying it online or amazon.
Frankly ive never had so much resistance to taking my money before and it disgusts me. and i have no tmoble at&t or even sprint in my area my choice are verizon or us cellular.
so now its time to order online and pray they actually want to sell me a windows phone!
Btw the locations i tried getting the phones were in la crosse wisconsin , eau claire wisconsin and black river falls wisconsin but its been an infuriating experience!
