Lumia 929 Released Date Nov 21

[INCREMENTAL]

Well just left my local VZW corporate store, I got a buddy that works there. I was talking to him about it and he told me he does know about it and yes it has been delayed. He said he doesn't know how long for. He did pull up his tablet and looked and said yeah if it would be coming out it would be at the top. Then he showed me the screen and he said anything that comes out within that week would be at the top. Not much news just wanted to report back. By the way the 2520 looks amazing.

Make sure your buddy let's you know as soon as he knows anything!

I may have to satisfy my urge with getting a 2520 to hold me over lol.

A little humor

Verizon...let's prep the new Windows phone and call it the 929, that way we can get around the 6 month clause like we had to do with the 920>928
ATT....Um, we heard you have a phone designed after our exclusive 1520 and plan to release it before the 6 month clause
Verizon.....nu-uh, this is simply an upgraded 928, nothing to see here move along.
ATT....we have Nokia on the line and they said all you did was change the screen size and type from our 1520
Verizon....fuuuuudddgggeee
ATT...what was that?
Verizon.....fine, I said fine. We'll call it the 1529 and release it in April. BYE!

Funny if it happened this way, but of course, it wouldn't. See AT&T exclusive on 820 with VZW launching 822. The 929 is notably different than the 1520, but even so, the 822 is basically a reshaped 820 with more storage. Far more similar to the 820 than the 929 is to the 1520.

It sucks that this is delayed. I want to get my hands on this device and see if it's to big or not. If the size is right, I want the higher DPI and better camera on the 929 versus the 928, as well as the faster cores for the future. Otherwise, that free 928 is looking good as my previously used 822 can't always capture the lower light shots that I often want. I am so seriously considering getting the 1020 on AT&T. I really don't want to leave Verizon due to the signal strength differences. But if this stuff keeps happening...

Sad news, just got a 928 retail to replace my 8X.. May go back to the 8X and hold off..

Looks like we won't be getting this anytime soon and the 928 went from 99 to 149

 

[Kieta]

I guess I'll pull the trigger on Amazon for .01 for the 928. I have got to get off T-mobiles service and I'm not going back to AT&T. After being with them for 10yrs they treated me like crap. I don't want to go back to Android so my options are really limited. Sigh.

Where do you see the $99 -> $149 thing?

I swear it was there when I saw that ad this morning. It had 149 for a 2yr contract. Now it's back to $99.

Still $0 at the Microsoft Store!

I guess I'm going to give up at this point. My logic, if they didn't release it with the 2520 then it will be a long time before it comes out. And if they don't get it out in time for the holiday shoppers, they're losing out on big sales opportunities. With that said, no word on the 929 must mean they have no near-term plans for the 929. It was a nice ride, Verizon. Off to the AT&T store I go! :winktongue:

I am holding out hope until December 6th. If that passes with no news of 929, then I may give up.

From the flyer posted above, I would guess that the 929 release date will be 1/16/14.

You know what, I think you have a point.

Is that when they're going to release the 2521 as well?

Not sure about that. Could be. But with Nokia running that promotion with Verizon I don't see us getting a new WP on Verizon before 1/15.

Talk about a sub-forum being demoralized.. I wonder if WPCentral will move this back to the rumored device section...

I'm still not sure why they ever moved it out of the rumored device section.

Hmmm. Wonder if this is real. Skinomi TechSkin - Nokia Lumia 929 Light Wood Skin Protector

There seems to be several accessories slated for release in the near future, so that does at least give us faith in the idea that it's real. Head over to Amazon and search for the Lumia 929, you'll find a few of the usual cheap starter accessories.

The question is no longer "if" its "when" now.
