So after today's announcements here is what it will look like in the USA in the fall and holiday months. I am assuming the 730 and 830 will be available with USA carries:
Lumia 530
Lumia 635
Lumia 735
Lumia 830
Lumia 929/Icon
Samsung ATIV SE
HTC M8
So is this enough? Hardware wise the flagships are still the Icon, Samsung ATIV SE and HTC M8 which technically use old hardware. Also, the Icon is still only available with one carrier. I just don't see this lineup attacting more users in the US and from what I have seen on pricing they are not pricing them to take sales away from anyone. It also doesn't help when 2 out of the 3 major US carriers have not updated their current phones to Windows 8.1 yet too. I just don't have a confident feeling anymore about Windows Phone 8.1 here in the US.
