On a two year contract, starting today, what would you get? HTC 8X or Lumia 920?

It's pretty close to inoperable. It reboots several times a day, freezes and starts making a loud squealing noise out of the speaker which requires a battery pull to fix, text messages throw errors saying the SIM is removed, calls will come in, but I answer and they can't hear me and I can't hear them (outbound too) and it keeps making the plug-in chime as if I am plugging and unplugging it over and over. And the screen wont turn off, so the battery only lasts an hour or two. I still get a lot of use out of it, but I'm missing important calls unfortunately.

Oh dear! Yes, you definitely need a new phone. I'm sure you'll make the best selection for your needs, whichever device you choose.

I would go for the Lumia 920 personally, do to most of the reasons already stated in this thread. The one worry I have however, is that you're going to buy it refurbished. AT&T's refurbs only come with a 90 day warranty, so I'd make sure you have insurance just in case something goes wrong as you'll be locked in for 2 years.

When i had my Focus i experienced very similar situation, expect mine wouldnt stay online for more than 5 minutes...it just kept rebooting. Ya, its definitely time to upgrade buddy.

I think there's a special on the 920 on ATT actually for free with the two year contract if so get the 920 for free. They had a $100 tradein offer recvently that still may ge going on !

yeh the 920 is free right now. I would definitely go for the 920. Great device lots of storage and should be supported for a good while.

I was torn between the two but as soon as I handled the 920 my mind was made up: It felt like a baby's teething toy to me so I have the 8X!

hater or just commenting on another product? The 920 and the 8X don't even have removable batteries..

I meant the Focus, in reply to user Residing. I neglected to click the "reply with quote button.

i would spring for the 820 personally, but out of the two, i would get the 920

Get 920 for photography and exclusives apps, get the 8x if you want something lighter and slimmer. Make no mistake, the 8x takes great pics and even good low light with Proshot. You won't go wrong with either one.

Looks like the free deal is over. Too bad I didn't look on Wednesday, lol.
