The Great 920 versus 8X challenge

[brmiller1976]

I will be procuring two WP8 devices on two separate networks. The Nokia 920, on AT&T, this Friday... and the HTC 8X, on T-Mobile, next Wednesday.

I will alternate between devices on a daily basis as my daily driver and will report back on the user experience.

Towards the end of the 14-day trial period, I will decide which device I am going to keep, and why.

I will post photos and videos and answer questions. And we shall see where this goes!

And you're going to be unbiased, right?

 

[brmiller1976]

I won't claim to be unbiased. I will simply provide my perspective. It's more than what most would do, and I'm genuinely interested to see what the differences are in day-to-day use.

Sorry brmiller1976 but seeing you around this forum i can't help to think anything actually neutral coming out of your mouth.

Though i would certainly be interested of some newcomers that might have used both phones for a week or two.

 

[chevans920]

Fair enough brm. Looking forward to it.

I'm going to be brutally honest -- I really don't give two flips what you think.

You're welcome to try the same challenge yourself and share your own perspectives, or you can rejoin your compatriots in the ****** peanut gallery. Your choice.

br549, what made you decide to give the 920 a spin?

Because...

Admit it, you read it in his voice... :lol:

Curiosity and a relentless commitment to the truth. (And an employer policy that will pay 75% of my phone bill).

And stop posting shirtless pictures of yourselves, people. This isn't a meat market!

 

[squire777]

Can you make sure to pop in your T-Mo sim into the 920 to see if it works?

 

[socialcarpet]

Can't wait.

The objectivity is going to make Fox News look like Reuters. :dry

 

[Nataku4ca]

i think using each for 3 days then alternate might be a little easier to get a feel for each instead of alternating everyday

 

[Heron_Kusanagi]

You could also use them in tandem? XD

Will do!

And shirtless photos with mentions of FOX News?!? Some of you frighten me. I might not be able to leave my house if you keep it up...

I will juggle them in the air... first to fall will be socialcarpet's mandatory device... FOREVER. Palindri can donate a Treo 700, and VacantWade can lend me his Lumia 900 as well.

Make sure you ride a unicycle at the same time too!

Your timeline confuses me...you guaranteed you would have your 8X on t-mobile before the 920 came out on AT&T...

I own an iPhone. And calling me "Vacant"wade is probably the worst attempt at an insult I have ever seen. It doesn't even mean anything. Vagrant would be a worse insult than vacant.

Yo did I hear unicycle???? That's my ish!

Sorry, I forgot that it's all about you, all the time. I'll be more mindful of this in the future.
