I know many of you will consider the an insult, that the 925 is an "upgrade", but the camera is much better, has an OLED screen, and has the massive catalog of exclusive apps. For me, its a huge upgrade! I got the 8x within the 1st week it was out, and loved it. That is until the reports of dirty and peeling corners came in. I even went so far as to print my own 3D printed cases that would not ruin the form factor, but that didn't help much. The soft coating still peeled and collected dirt. Also the glass on the face has a bunch of scratching on it.
Before the 8x, I had an HTC HD2 for over 3 years. I sold it in almost new condition for $200 on E-bay when I upgraded! I know how to take care of my phone. Within a month, my 8X looked like hell, and im not the only one. It wasn't long before I was looking for a way out. Today, I just found it!!!!
So I got the premium handset insurance from Tmobile, and decided to use it. They don't care HOW it broke, but will replace it anyways. They charge $130 as a co-pay, but will overnight your phone out. So I finally decided it was worth getting a new phone after I dropped the 8x on its face and shattered the corner. I made the claim, and they said they didn't have any more replacement 8X's and sadly I would need to pick another phone. I had two options. The HTC Sensation and the Lumia 925. What do you think I picked? =)
It will be here tomorrow!!!!
So, if your on TMO, and have the handset insurance and want the 925, you may want to fill out a claim. Make sure the claim goes through though! Ill post again when I get the replacement phone and let you know if its a brand new phone or a referb. Either way, im really happy right now!!! Maybe ill make a 3D printed case for the 925?
