I am glad that the 822 is official for Verizon, and all in all, it does look like a pretty good phone. i like that you can add storage, the camera, although not PureView, is probably pretty good, and even though the screen is not such a high PPI or resolution, from what i understand, that matters much less on a windows phone than on android or ios.
here is my issue with it...
while it does appear to be a decent phone, and an IDEAL phone for those who don't want to spend a lot of money, i just can't see myself signing up for having that phone for 2 years, knowing what is likely to be coming, possibly by the end of THIS year, and at the very least by this spring.
and i feel like that will be the position of many of us that are "in the know" or consider ourselves higher-end users. we always know that SOMETHING better is coming, so we tend to be a bit more critical when evaluating this type of purchase, just to be sure that we are getting the best option available.
so the question then becomes, is the 8X even good enough to stick with for a full contract term...or has the 920 made it feel like a second-class phone, as well??
