WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

As for AT&T, they'll get something. They haven't launched a WP in mid year as far as I can remember. All their big models come out in the fall, so they may get something then. Remember, the 1020 was the only thing launched early for them from Nokia (Aug/September). The 920, 820, 925 and 1520 were November launches.

I just hope that they don't count 800 series as high-end.
But btw, I finally started receiving tapatalk notifications after reset Tapatalk yesterday. Not like that worked on my Android tablet in the first place without any problems... But it would probably be some kind of charm of WP

Well here is an interesting read:
HTC One With Windows Phone: Another Great Phone You Won't Buy - WSJ

Interesting read. Very true if course. So if the HTC makes it out of Verizon it will be adjust a year old... Nice.

I guess it depends if its a carrier exclusive or not and what the carrier wants to do. They seem to be in control anyway.

Not necessarily. They have to go this route I think to manage their scale of production. I doubt they've gotten back their A-Status as a OEM yet. It depends on who offers the best contracts...the big boys like AT&T and VZW can. T-Mo can only take a certain number and will stick to the hits like the One (Android), LG G series, Note, Galaxy S. At least, that's my guess.

Agreed, TMO cannot commit to big numbers like VZW or ATT can. I think that in about a couple of years this will be a moot point, you bring your device and the carrier provides a SIM and services you require.

I didn't see much hate unless it crops up later. The main issue you have here is carrier exclusive. That's it. I would seriously consider it at the right price. However I won't be buying it next year if that's when it makes its way here. To late by then.

Hopefully by then something better will have arrived. I do think that the 830 including its pricing/carrier strategy will help MSFT make or break WP. There is enough pent up demand - low end WP folks want to upgrade but I don't think the 930 and the W8 are delivering...pretty big load for the 830 to carry, IMO.

Evening everyone!

M8 for Windows looks awesome. Hope they release it in India. It will be a hit here as WP is the second most used OS.

re: WC 100K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Just curious, What is the cost difference between a locked and unlocked phone? Is the total cost you pay over two years for a locked phone greater than buying a phone unlocked? In India, all phones are sold unlocked. I just didn't understand why people prefer locked over unlocked phones in the US.

its the mentality of thinking you are paying less. here in the US the carries pay the phone upfront so we get them cheaper like around 1cent, 50$,99$ 200$ stuff like that. the bad thing is that in the long run its more expensive and the phone is locked to that carrier and you cant use it on other carriers.
