Nokia Lumia 822 has become Verizon's weekly most popular device.

I was mere minutes away from purchasing an 822 before I decided to hold off.

I do not own a smartphone. In general I do not like the concept of them, but ultimately I need one because I am embarking upon a new diet this month which requires me to keep track of the foods and the times that I eat, and a smartphone is the easiest way to facilitate this. A secondary purpose for the phone would be as a replacement for my ZuneHD 64, since I do not see the point of lugging around 2 devices which are capable of the same exact thing. So, my requirements are thus:

* Needs 64gb expandable storage to replace my Zune
* Needs to be able to be programmed so that I can write a music app that allows me to listen to and rate music using single touches in my car (I'm a Windows developer, very familiar with silverlight, so WP8 seems like it would require a small learning curve for me)
* Needs either wireless recharging or a slide-in dock with charger so that I don't have to plug any wires in when I hop in my car
* Needs to work on Verizon
* Needs to not cost 3 arms and 2 legs.

822 fit most of those specs. Currently lacking is the dock availability.

However I changed my mind because of recent news that Verizon may be getting a better phone, the 928. So I'm holding off until the specs and price for that are released and then I'll decide whether to go with the 822 or 928.

actually you can order a wireless charging back for the 822 and use it with the Nokia wireless charging dock with NFC function built in. All requirement are checked!
