If the 929 really is pushed back to the first quarter that is a disappointment. I was hoping to have a chance to try this phone pretty soon so I could make a decision on what phone I'll be getting.
Interesting. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go get the 1520 day after tomorrow. Prepaid is $60/month and I can test drive the network with no obligation while keeping my Verizon account active. If ATT doesn't work out after awhile I can still have an awesome WiFi phab to use. Or if it does work I can stick, port my number and save some money every month. Same device anyway, just that one inch bigger. Might turn out to be a good move. Nothing ventured nothing gained.I'm now considering AT&T for the first time ever.
You know your screwed...when its easier to signup at healthcare.gov.... than get a new Lumina 929.
I know its coming because I've seen the device in testing and like I posted previously you could find the otterbox case for the 929 in our system. I'm hoping my source is wrong about a first quarter release and we get it next month instead
So disappointed. And surprised Verizon would pass on the opportunity to release the 929 with the 2520.
So why not just wait for an 8.1 phone at this point?
This is where Verizon and Nokia continually fail: releasing a phone at the apex of technology. Verizon's the biggest carrier in the US and Nokia is the most desired WP device maker. News leaks of a mainstream device that has all of the bells and whistles (ala 920 when it released over a year ago), yet the only thing we get for over 6 months is the 1020 and 1520, both niche devices for different reasons and both only on the number 2 carrier in the US.
I really,. REALLY hope that when MS buys them completely we will see this fixed, because I really can't see how anyone could truly believe this strategy is sustainable for market growth.
In the meantime, I remain with a Trophy ...
I'm still expecting a December 6th release date. There are far too many Lumia 929 accessories listed on Amazon with that date. Surely Verizon talks to accessory manufacturers because they want there to be related products available just as much as the accessory company wants a phone to be available. If they were all taking stabs in the dark on a release date, why would they all fall on the 6th?
