I'll be in the modern world of WP8 soon

[Laura Knotek]

I bought a 920, so I won't be the only mod with outdated device anymore. http://forums.windowscentral.com/ma...261119-nokia-lumia-920-t-red.html#post2322233

No, I'm not getting Androids like many of the Ambassadors seem to be lately.

Now, I'll have a device that'll get the latest upgrades and I'll still have upgrade from AT&T which will give me more options so I won't need to upgrade immediately in April.

Wow, you got that for a steal! Welcome to the WP8 club. You'll enjoy the new options with the 920. I still really enjoys mines and haven't found a reason to upgrade to anything better. Plus the 920 is nothing if not a tank lol.

That's great Laura I am glad to see you joining the WP8 group. You are going to like the 920 I kept that device for over 8 months as my daily driver. If I keep a device for that long you know it has to be a good one.

I used my gift certificate from when I first became a mod back in 2012 on the Case Mate tough case in the WPCentral store anyways. I had been saving it all this time, since I won the Otterbox case for my 900 and needed a new device to get new accessories.

I know I'll be doing Instagram once the 920 arrives, since that's one app not available for 7.x devices. Plus I know I'll use a lot of camera apps that are WP8 only.

That's definitely a good recommendation Dave, since I know you always tend to get something new really quickly.

I bought so many accessories with that device. I need to look around and see if I have anything left I can send you. Your getting it from Michael so you know it is in good shape and all the bugs should be worked out of it. I think your really going to like Windows Phone 8 better than WP7.

Yes, staff members aren't going to abuse their phones. My previous used phone purchase was my Blackberry 9700 from a CrackBerry mod, and it still works after he had it about a year and I had it for 3 years.

I already know I'll like the camera better! I've seen the pictures people get with the 920, and they're amazing, especially the low light ones.

Saw where you were trying to make a deal for that phone, glad you got it. Like Cori said, I love mine and am in no hurry to get a new one. Hope you enjoy yours as much.

I already know it'll be great. I don't have any complaints about my 900, but I really want to get WP8, especially for the new apps that are WP8-only. Initially most new apps that were WP8-only were games, so I didn't care. Now a lot of the big apps have come out that I'll use that aren't games.

I'll also be able to use Skype, since Skype with Microsoft account works on WP8, so that should help all of you guys if you need to contact me.

I can't believe you lasted this long with a WP7.x! Well done for that more than getting a WP8!

That's wonderful Laura. I need to pick up a new WP device myself... any recommendations??? I do like the 920...

Depends on what you are looking to do in WP. If you're just looking to dip a toe in the experience, the 520 or 521 is an affordable way to go and see what's going on. If you want a little more umph and better specs, the 920 is a really nice device. If you are into pictures or tend to take a lot with your phone, the 1020 is your huckleberry. Pretty much the same as the 920 but with some serious camera. Though the camera on the 920 is no slouch itself. The indoor shots are incredible.

 

[HeyCori]

Pfft, I bet if James snapped his fingers WPCentral would give him a 1020. :winktongue:

 

[Muessig]

Red 920, eh? Sounds pretty darn cool. I am thinking of making mine Red or Cyan, putting another shell on it. I'm concerned about whether this would void any warranty or support (if I even have any left on the hardware, got the phone in Nov 2012 so I'm not sure).

James, sounds good that you want to try WP8 out, what's your current daily driver? Let us know your needs and we'll try to help you pick a device that'll suit em.

Laura looks like your joining us just in time for Black. I just downloaded it on my 920.

 

[HeyCori]

I'm downloading it now! Mmmmm black candy.

I'd second your recommendations.

That'll work out great for me, since I won't have to set it up and then upgrade it again in a short time. Getting everything done at once will be easier. :smile:

I was stuck in a contract. Now I'll have more options, since my contract expires in April.

Are you with AT&T?
