Lumia 928 Predict Release Date Game

[Vallos]

I can tell you the red 822 alone pretty much sealed the deal on the 928. Verizon was very impressed by how quickly they sold out of their red 822 stock.

I hope that one of those selling factors was the MicroSD, and that Verizon took notice of that. I'm fine with 32 gigs, but for the sake of those that want or need that inclusion, let's hope Verizon was paying attention.

Using a red 822 right now, it's lovely. The finish is nice, color is great, and of course the phone is fantastic. Really just the camera is so-so, which the 928 will fix it seems. Would be nice to get a red one of those with the matte finish

I guess there's no real reason to believe me, but the AT&T exclusivity is one of the reasons the 928 isn't out yet. The other reasons being the decision to make the Z10 a flagship and the waiting game to see how well the current Windows Phones sold. I can tell you the red 822 alone pretty much sealed the deal on the 928. Verizon was very impressed by how quickly they sold out of their red 822 stock.

Coming from you lends the statement more credence, but the majority of folks have made such statements without any knowledge, which does nothing but confuse the subject.

Abe.....Didn't you say, in previous posts, that the 822 had been a big disappointment to Verizon or was a very poor seller or something to that effect ?

Don't believe everything you read on the internet. Honestabebread has already said that he thinks this will be VZW's announcement of the end of contracts.

I hope it's soon. I don't want to switch back to AT&T and their dropped calls and I get a 60% discount through my employer with VZW off every bill. That, and Nokia needs to release their phones to more carriers ASAP. I'm sick of watching my NOK shares tumble lately; despite today's little bump.

Same here - I quit watching the share price on a daily basis.

60% ? What company do you work for ? The max I have seen Verizon give out is a 25% discount on bills (I have 24% off) and there was a forum on this on another site and no one else got more than 25%...

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[tcman88]

It looks like the phone is schedulled for May 14 through May 21

So it can get a whopping 1-2 weeks before the GS4 comes out? That would be lame. Also, I don't want to wait that long.

I work for Verizon and get 50% so I'm gonna call you out on this one.

Also, the 822 was a disappointment reliability-wise. It sold like crazy though.

Interesting - what kind of reliability issues are you aware of?

No kidding! How did I miss this? I want to say I get 20% off, but don't remember for sure. That's based on an employer I left in 2010 - I should check to see if they have a better rate at my new employer...

battery life, reboots, background data syncing, etc etc.

 

[Booston]

Sounds familiar - normal with anything new.

To clarify, my company reimburses its traveling employees $50 for their cell phone bills per month in addition to the VZW discount. This reimbursement of course applies to any carrier we choose but the generous discount only is through VZW.
