I mean the 925 has to be on its way out, right? even still, i can tell right away this is going to be a nice upgrade from the 521.
It's a great phone but definitely not being manufactured anymore or very soon to be. For me its best Nokia yet. Sure I would like more memory and an SD card slot and a faster processor BUT I would have no use for a better camera and with the way I use the phone I'd rather have the 925's looks and thinness than more memory or an SD card. So until and if they build my perfect phone, this is a great compromise.I mean the 925 has to be on its way out, right? even still, i can tell right away this is going to be a nice upgrade from the 521.
Until you find something better, I went thru the same thing and posted here: http://forums.windowscentral.com/wi...-anything-how-move-one-wp8-phone-another.htmlshould i do anything specific re: my data/applications/settings on the 521 before switching over?
rcvd it yesterday but was tied up all day and night so only just now got to unbox it and take a look - gorgeous!
what do i need to do right off the bat?

I suggest that if you have not unlocked your 521 yet and are eligible for that, you get the free code from T-Mobile BEFORE you switch phones. Within hours of switching T-Mobile will no longer consider that phone part of your plan and therefore they have no obligation or interest in giving you an unlock code for it. Be aware that T-Mobile says they will only give 2 unlock codes to a customer within a 12 month period so if you have got another code within the last 10 months and plan to unlock your new 925 after 40 days, then don't use up your last unlock request on the 521.
You should probably get a case if you don't already have one. The 925 is ridiculously slippery! I dropped mine for the first time as it was attached to the charger the day I got it. It didn't hit the floor and I sort of caught it via the charger wire, but it's so easy to drop.
If you want something like that (not much shock absorption), there is a clear version that doesn't hide the metal edges. That's what I bought but only use it some of the time after my hands learned to grip the thinner, slipperier 925 better.

If you don't need more than 100 minutes of talk, T-Mobile has a $30/mo plan with unlimited text and data (1st 5GB LTE). And they have a $40 plan with unlimited text and voice but just 1GB data (can buy more data if it doesn't last a month).But it looks like I am going to have to do the two months on the 50 dollar Tmobile plan to get the unlock code. Bummer, thats going to interrupt my Gift Card time. Oh well. It will be worth it in the end.

Thanks for the heads up. I was not aware of this.
Edit: Actually, Im checking this out right now and I cant seem to find this plan. What I see is unlimited text/voice and 1 GB data for $50. The $40 plan says unlimited text/voice and 500mb of data. Boo Tmobile.
And the $30 plan seems neat, but with only 100min of voice Im not sure if that would work. Would WiFi calling work here to make up the mins? Can you call over the data connection and not just WiFi? Never used that so not sure how it works. Also the website says the $30 plan is only good for devices activated at Wal Mart or on Tmobile.com. Hopefully I could activate my HSN 925 on the site like that.
If anyone can answer some of the questions I would be very grateful. Thx.
The plan is on this page near the bottom: Prepaid Cell Phone Plans, No Credit Check | Monthly 4G | T-Mobile
WiFi calling still uses talk minutes. So its not a good idea to use it except when you can't get any bars because of the problems it can cause with texts.
Well if the wifi calling comes off the minutes to then unfortunately the $30 plan wont work for me. Thats a bummer but thanks for letting me know about it. Im still interested in the $40 plan you mentioned, but I can find it nowhere on the page you linked, or on any of Tmobiles pages. The only plan I see is for $50 that is unlimited talk/text and 1GB of data. Maybe you are in a different area with different pricing?

Yep, that is the one I have seen. But it is for 500mb of data, not 1GB as you said in your previous post.
All TMO plans are now 1GB....
Really? I copied this from the Tmobile site.
With Simple Starter $40 per month gets you one line with:
Unlimited talk & text
Up to 500MB 4G LTE data
No data overage charges, because…no data overages. Pay only when you want more.
No annual service contracts
That’s everything. Pretty simple. It’s the way we know wireless should be.
Want unlimited data? Starting at $50, check out our Simple Choice Plans, featuring unlimited talk, text and data for up to 5 lines—with no data overages.
So the $40 plan is not 1GB. I wish somebody could prove me wrong because I would like to get a gig for 40 bucks.
Sounds like the first 500MB are LTE, then over that is slower?
