I went into a large corporate Verizon store on Friday to see the Lumia 928. A sales person came over to me to see if I had any questions. I said I have a couple of questions about the Lumia 928 and his face went blank. He was clueless about WP8. So I thought I would ask a simple question, "When will the black be available?" His response was "It only comes in white". Meanwhile, the other sales people were fully explaining the Android OS to other customers.
On Saturday, I went into another corporate store located inside a BJ's Wholesale club. I just wanted to see if they knew when the black would be available. I was asked several times by the rep "Why would you want a Windows Phone?" And repeatedly told that there were almost no apps available. She tried over and over to interest me in an Android phone. I told her that I have had a Droid X for the past 3 years and I am sick of it. She gave one more try to get me to get an Android phone and then told me to call back on Monday.
This phone is doomed unless Verizon/Microsoft/Nokia address this problem.
