Absolutely.
I'm also on Tmobile and I dint know if your using an 8X or not, but the only things that will make me DEFINITELY get a international 928 or the recent 925 would be a storage upgrade. The camera isn't that big of a need for me. My 8X has been receiving regular updates quickly and HTC has been answering me support tickets REALLY fast and in a very caring manner. The storage though man ): I need SD Card or 32GB.I'm not on Verizon (T-Mobile customer here), but I'll answer. Of course it is! Why? Because it's a Nokia device, which means you'll get quality. You also get great exclusive apps and support for the device as you receive regular updates and such. You won't get the same from HTC.

Thanks for the responses guys! I'm leaning towards the 928 for a couple reasons. Sorry I didn't go into these before, I was on the go when I posted this originally.
One is that I scored a wicked deal on my 8X from a Verizon employee. He basically had it sitting in his house brand new for months now. It was essentially brand new when I bought it off him, even the IMEI sticker was clean and on the back of the phone. I can tell it was never used. I got it for $150. So my thinking is I can flip it for probably almost double that on Swappa. I also just sold my Droid DNA for $410 on Swappa. So I can get the 928 retail and still come out on top.
Two is that I really think that I will enjoy the Nokia camera and exclusive apps. I really like the way the phone looks as well and I have always liked AMOLED screens.
Thoughts?
Well it seems like you like the newest tech, so yeah go for it! Not a huge upgrade but if you have the money and want the tech, it'll be the top Windows Phone at its launch!
Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Nokia fan, but you can't hate on the 8x! That phone is a quality handset that has received the same updates as the 920, looks just as good (Imo looks way better) and is thinner, lighter, and smaller.
While the hardware is roughly equivalent, the fact remains that Nokia's support for their hardware and customers greatly exceeds HTC. The hardware on my 920 is great, Nokia is committed to their hardware and proves it with numerous system tweaks and updates, plus Nokia also offers exclusive (and good) Lumia apps. I'll never buy anything other than a Lumia until other OEMs step their game up.
But, if you had a 8X would you change phones with the same OS and general features for the cost balance ? No question that Nokia support for their devices is better but, as a HTC 8X owner, I have gotten all Microsoft updates in the same time frame as Nokias have. If the 928 was a 8.5 device with new features or something, AKA a new phone, it might be a must have.
The question was, if you had a 8X would you spend the balance of the money to move to a 928 ?
