Re: Who planning on getting the Nokia Lumia 930?
Me, being be, will obviously buy it.
HOWEVER, I'm European. And we Europeans buy phones at full price, not on carrier contracts. Now, this phone will cost 650€ in Europe (750€ in Portugal thanks to the ever stealing retailers here). I will NOT buy this phone at full price. Which means pre-order is out of the question.
I'm not spending 650€ on a 6 months old phone that is already outdated internally when compared with the competition's flagships.
I will buy this when the price comes down to 500€ or bellow (just like the 1520 has already come). If I want to spend 650€ on a phone, it better be a true 2014 flagship. And that means: SD801, 3GB RAM, 2.3 to 2.5Ghz, microSD card etc. Just like every single Android flagship released so far.
And yes, I know, WP doesn't need those specs bla bla bla. Well, neither does Android 4.4. It's still good to have them as a bit of future proof. Also...no microSD? Yeah...
So in resume, yes I'll buy it, no I won't pre-order it nor get it within the first 3 months of availability (unless Nokia sends me one for free, of course).
The SD801 is just a higher clocked and slightly improved SD800......and that is due to silicon advancement.
The 805 is the one that is different. (SD800 and SD801 uses Krait 400 CPU cores and Adreno 330 GPU, the SD805 uses Krait 450 cores and Adreno420 GPU)
Just so you know, no one uses an 805 yet.....
Having an 800 or an 801 is just as equally futureproof as each other...
If you had a Samsung Galaxy S4, you had the 800, S5 gives you the 801.
If you had a HTC One, you had a 600, the One M8 gives you the 801.
LG G2 still has the 800
Sony Xperia Z1 had the 800, the Z2 has the 801.
All smartphones nowadays are retardedly powerful unless you get a low end model.
MicroSD...that's more of a design decision not an 'outdated' model. That one I can agree on.
I plan on getting one, 32gb is fine for me, I would have liked a micro SD like in the 1520 though. Other than that its the smaller 1520 that I wanted (well I wanted a 1020 equipped with the SD800). Its time to retire my 710 (8gb non-expandable internal memory, that's a painful to live with lol) and I am not waiting until Novemberish for the next batch of (most likely) SD805 equipped smartphones. I believe the 1020 successor would likely be announced around that time though, that one had better be equipped with the 805.
