I am willing to give them until the end of April on the 928. If it's not out then it will have to be the 822. I am giving myself a firm deadline so that I can avoid the perpetual wait!

Is there something about the 8X that doesn't interest you? Other than expandable storage it's a great phone. I've had the 822 and the 8X and prefer the 8X, but both are solid phones.
8X is a nice phone but I am set on Nokia. Although most people seem to like the feel of the 8X it doesn't feel good in my hand. If I am going to choose a non pure view camera phone the removeable battery is a deciding factor. Verizon is a must.
Do we really feel the 928 will be that much different than the 920? I need to dump my Note 2 on Verizon and want a 920. Not sure the 928 is worth waiting for. Some rumors indicate it might only have a 4.3" screen. That would be a deal breaker for me.
These are good questions. The place to look for the answers is in the contract between Nokia and ATT where the terms will be spelled out. Does the contract say, "Nokia top-end phone" or does it say, "Lumia 920"? Does it say, "Launch date," or does it say, "Announcement date," or something else entirely? Does it say that the phone has to be anything like the 920, or can a minor change get around that?Last year, wasn't it a common feeling that AT&T would have the exlusive rights to the Nokia top-end phone for six months? Wasn't the 920's release date 11/11/12? So, doesn't it make sense that Verizon won't be allowed to sell the 928 until 5/11/13.
I'm no expert on these matters.... I hope it's sooner!!!
THIS.We won't know for sure until its released. It will likely be announced in the next week or so, so I think its worth waiting - likely it will be an upgrade.

I am due mid April for my upgrade so I will wait until the end of April. I must admit that I've started looking closer at the 822 again just in case this is all another disappointment for us WP users on Verizon.
I'm thinking if it isn't announced soon I may give AT&T a try and get a 920.
This is what I did. My red 920 comes tomorrow and my wife has already received her cyan 920. Both free at the MS store right now btw. I just got tired of all the rumors with nothing definitive. I know Verizon likes to keep a tight lip but sometimes I think they shoot themselves in the foot by being this way.
I gotta be honest here, the 920 blows away the Trohpy even as good as it was. The 920 just feels so good in the hand and truly has that premium feel to as any flagship should. I expect no less out of the 928. It's just a shame that it's taking Verizon so long. Phone geeks like myself are an impatient bunch!
To be honest, Trophy never was more than a mediocre, (got mine on launch day) mid-range phone, and while I haven't put hands on any of the low-end Lumias, I'm going to say that I'd bet even the lowest-end Lumia would blow away the Trophy.
Don't get me wrong - I was glad to have it, being the only WP7 on VZW, but it was never anything to blow you away.
