Man, what an ugly photo of the gray 822 (click on link at the bottom of this post). Had it been a Nokia 920... As Rodney used to say: "No Respect".
I guess VZW has now made "free" official with the 822. I got mine for free weeks ago. Regardless; I would say that the 822 is the top WP8 phone from Verizon and from a common, practical, daily usability standpoint, I would say that it is the top WP8 phone on the market right now.
The whole exclusive BS with the 920 on AT&T really soured my opinion of the device from the get-go. Early reports and leaks on the device had me upbeat until Nokia tried to be Apple. Regardless of the positive 920 press, I started to focus on the bad: lack of memory expansion, the inability to replace the battery, plus the excessive weight and oversized screen. To hear that they also brick and have random reset issues continues to make me snicker. (Enjoy that exclusive AT&T service.)
Can I live without image stabilization? I have so far. Can I live without the, a, um, ugh - well I guess that image stabilization is about the only thing I am missing out on! I am glad I jumped on the 822 when I did!
