Flip it, the 5xx, 920, 82x, 81x, 1320, 1520, 1020, 63x..all are on bottom. The 925 and 830 are on top

Wow, I didn't realize that the port on the top was only on that few models.

Neowin got their AT&T Lumia 830 review unit. Check out the pics in their initial hands-on:

Hands-on: Microsoft Lumia 830 for AT&T - Neowin

I wonder if Windows Central got one yet.

will i get a bag of goodies if i buy the phone from an att or msft store? for some reason, i think i'm more likely to go out and get this phone if i get a bag of crap with it. i'm seriously not kidding.

One other thought. My initial reaction to the micro-USB port being on top is not a positive one. At least from a visual standpoint I like the symmetry of a centered headset jack on top, and a centered USB port on bottom. Functionally, I'm not sure I'll like this when connected in the car. I worry that keeping the phone in portrait mode will put undue stress on the port. Maybe I just need to get Qi charging in the car too

I use a Qi charger in my car. Not wanting to go back to wired charging. I hate the look of the charging port up top, but from a practical viewpoint it doesn't affect me at all.

I don't know, I think the darker gunmetal gray frame is starting to grow on me. When I first saw it in the marketing photos with the green back, I thought, "Blech!". It looked like a black frame, but in these photos/video it looks more like a dark gray, so maybe not as horrible with the green back cover as I originally thought. Won't really know until I see it person. Regardless, I still like the silver better, but I'd rather stick with an AT&T phone instead of getting an international version. So dark gray and green it is. I wonder how the orange back would look on it. Would make the perfect SF Giants fan phone. :grin: I wonder if the white back cover would look good. Has anyone found those back covers for sale yet? I wonder if the Microsoft Store will be getting them.

The USB port on top doesn't really bother me, especially since Qi charging is supported.

I initially wanted the silver framed one (and got one), but it wasn't from my carrier and there was no unlock code. So I ended up with a gunmetal framed one from my carrier and it has grown on me. It's the first dark phone option I've liked for a while. The matte black cover is a fingerprint nightmare though, but I have an orange cover on order from eBay. Might collect a white cover as well eventually.

The silver model that I returned also had a backlight bleed issue at the bottom of the display (the issue that some call a display gap - though there was no gap in my unit). I ended up swapping the dark one once due to a defect, but neither that one nor my current one have the backlight issue.

I know what you mean. It's fun to get some swag. I got mine from AT&T this morning and there were definitely no goodies, unless you consider the Fitbit that came in the box. But that was it. Would've been nice to get maybe some stickers, or a cheap screen protector, maybe a cheap 8GB SD card, or how about a $5 certificate for Softcard, etc. They offered to sell me some god-awful chubby case, or a $30 skin. No thanks.
