Limited edition Nokia phones on Verizon Wireless for father's day

[nufan947]

Okay! It's July. A few high profile apps announced today to be Nokia exclusives. Nokia announces some exclusive apps for Lumia - Hipstamatic Oggl Pro, Flipboard, Path, Panagraph and more | Windows Phone Central

Are we any closer to some fresh colors on VZW, TC?

Eternal optimist right here.

My guess is that this is being held not only for the AWS LTE activation, but also the Halo Spartan Assault release. You can pick your team, Red vs. Blue with both red and cyan 928's being released.

This was dead on. I bet it was actually planned this way at some point. They didn't make it part of the official announcement yet. So it could still happen. But I have my doubts. Exclusivity leaves the door open!

There is an update for 3 Nokia devices to be release on or around 8/4 but Verizon currently has only two Nokia devices so yeah...

What could be the meaning of this!!! Ahhh!

So, it seems that you are implying that if I have been paitent this long and not gotten a 928, I should wait another 3 weeks or so.

I don't know how some of you guys have held out this long. Amazing.

I gave up this past Saturday. If colors come out, I'll be getting one still...I really want a cyan device!

Sweet! I'm a little confused. Are you saying that:

A.) there's a software update (Amber) to be released to three VZW Nokia devices on or around 8/4?

Or

B.) There's an update in your internal system that there will be 3 Nokia models released on or around 8/4?

I think I'm having a hard time understanding in the midst of excitement.

Pretty sure it's A. he's saying there's an update for 3 devices, but vzw on carries two. So "new" phone along with I assume GDr2

 

[airjeff]

Haha, thanks TC! That said, we'd love more details.

I'm thinking option A. If they are getting a new phone maybe it's for the prepaid side, like a 528.

Amber aside, my read is that he is probably saying we are getting a Red L928 and Cyan L928 and L822.

I was thinking it's probably going to be a 528 as well. Verizon already has high end (928) and middle end (822) covered - all they need now is something on the low end, and a variant of the 520 would fit perfectly.

That said, my hopes are still let down with no new updates on a cyan 928

 

[nufan947]

I'm gonna put in another vote for 522/528, cause why not. Ah, the art of speculation.

But seriously it does seem likely.

 

[maevinj]

Hmm I wonder if maybe it will be the new Lumia 625? Since VZW likes to sell the large screen devices.

Might just be a case of hearing what we want to hear :/. I think what TC saw was most likely an error in the system. There's no new Lumia coming to VZW in the next three weeks, low range or high.

And I don't think it's possible to interpret his post as new colors. Sigh.

I never thought I'd see you give up hope, dude! So dejected!

Someone has to keep the dream alive.

I wish new colors were out today - I've got to go to the Microsoft Store and replace my phone due to a broken screen. :straight:

A headless snake tried to eat me, and I dropped the phone and it hit the edge of my concrete steps.

That is... Disturbing, to say the least. Glad the warranty replacement was easy though!
