Should we wait for "Goldfinger"?

[dalydose]

Oh I'm in Europe, I don't have to worry about it. I'll get my 930 unlocked, that's for sure. I'm just saying that I don't think T-Mobile customers in the US will be lucky this time. Think AT&T has more reasons to be happy.

Anyway, I don't understand how the US people can stand this situation! It's such a limitation to their choice! Completely tied by their carriers.

It's because Americans don't want to pay full price for phones. The carriers subsidize them based on contracts and they want to have leverage, thus they won't push a phone that someone can just buy at another carrier. Exceptions happen when a phone's sales get to the point where the OEM has more leverage than the carrier (iPhone & Samsung).

Nokia still needs carrier marketing dollars and carrier placement in stores and they won't do it without a differentiating product, aka exclusive.

I have a 920 and my contract still lasts a year, this combined with the fact that the 930 may be just 4.5" again got me convinced to just wait and see what that goldfinger is all about

I heard it was 5"? If it's only 4.5 I'll be waiting for sure.

My contact is up in September-October. Hopefully Goldfinger is out by then.
