So here's my situation. I have an AT&T 1020 on contract; the contract ends at the end of July. Recently, the power/lock button has almost stopped working. Now, there are various workarounds that I'm using: double-tap to wake up, tile pinned to start screen to lock the phone. Of course, actually turning off the phone or trying to restart it is a pain. And it's nice if the button works for convenience.
The phone has developed other quirks and I'm ready to move on. I do love the camera, though. I will miss that in any new phone I get.
My quandary: Do I tough it out and wait until the end of July to get a new phone on contract? Perhaps a true flagship will be announced by that time. Or should I look at the 830 on a Next plan (I haven't researched those too much yet) with AT&T and use it as a stop-gap until the new phones are released? The 830 looks like a nice phone, but certainly not a powerhouse. I don't use my phone for gaming or anything, so I don't think I would stress the phone too much. How would the performance of the 830 compare to the 1020?
Any input or suggestions are welcome!
