Nokia Lumia 928 with PureView camera and aluminum body

[odin09]

I am very impatient and want this phone now! I will have much more free time when I don't have to check these boards every hour for new rumors!

If they get the pricing and promotion right, it could be big. The competition is extremely tough though:

iphone 5 or 5s - will do well no matter what, and a cheaper iphone will do extremely well.
Galaxy S4 - will also do well no matter what
HTC one - will be the best device that not enough people buy because they are busy buying an S4 or an iPhone
Lumia 928 - really needs to go after a different buyer - one that doesn't want to spend as much upfront and will make some compromises. Nearly all the concerns I have with the 928's success are WP8 related. A good friend is looking for a new smartphone, and I just can't recommend Windows phone - I know they will not be happy.

Anyway - solid pricing and good promotion will be the key here in the USA. $99 or below is critical.

Still, would make very little business sense for Nokia to put the 928 into production, given a large chunk of the components are unique to the device, then only ship it to the US

The 822 and 810 say hello.

a large "chunk" of the components as you call it,will be re-used...from the 920.
Why wouldnt they do that? That is the business model they want to follow - design around components you know you can reuse.
Screen, SOC, antenna components, memory, battery perhaps....

He's also said that is not the norm with devices, it's 16gb and a MicroSD slot OR a 32gb device but, by that last comment, we should be happy but, I am not getting my hopes up. 32gb and a MicroSD slot would fit my needs, 16gb and a slot does not solve my issue with apps, as we cant install apps to the MicroSD card with Windows Phone 8....

OK, i'll bite... In good humor though...
With 16GB to begin with , lets assume you get 12GB on device when you receive it AND it comes with the fabled SD card...
Just how many apps do you plan on installing to the mass memory? What is the average downloaded and then installed size of apps?
How many will you fit into 10GB+ ?
again, in good humor, but a question to you, how many apps do you really use and need?

I'm sure its more a general statement that we'd be happy. Not that specifically those of us wanting SD were going to be happy.

I have an upgrade I can use in July and I am not sure how I am going to handle my wife having this before me. I LOVE my 822 but my wife having better tech than me is not cool at all.

Well, if your wife is happy then you are going to be at peace. It is worth more than anything. Let her have all the tech, you have peace..

I speculate that since he said that we would all be happy that it would include a SD slot. There has been lots of talk about SD slots for this phone, so I believe that there is one.

I have no idea when it comes out but I've finally seen the phone at least. Its a beauty

Soooo you saw the actual device or an actual photo?

 

[odin09]

The fact that he is saying this is a beauty makes me think that Verizon hasn't screwed this up. What is really exciting is that if he has seen it then we are probably a week or two away. I think we may be reading into what he said but this is a rumor board and that's what we do. I do think that it was a subtle message to the sd crowd but we shall see!

This site says it won't have a micro sd slot. I'm pretty sad about that because it would be cool to save space on the phone for all the apps from the android market which this article also claims the phone will have.

i would take that website with a grain of salt

nice find!

I was taking it with a grain of salt. I don't actually expect a Lumia to come loaded with the android marketplace lol. I just forgot to use my sarcasm font.

 

[Paulo1300]

sorry i only read the first sentence of your post.. it was pretty funny now that i read the whole thing

 

[Gaichuke]

lol @ those body dimensions.

Whoever wrote that is confusing 928 and Catwalk. The dimensions are exactly the same ones mentioned in that recent Lumia Catwalk specification rumor.
