so... AT&T preorders tomorrow? in a few hours?

That HTC 8X with 8GB of storage for $99 looks really overpriced compared to the 920 with 32GB of storage at $149. I don't think HTC will sell many at that price.

If the 920 was $199, the 8X would have the right price at $99.

I think HTC has made a big mistake here.

Absolutely, but I will go as far as to say that even the 16GB version should only be worth 99$.

149$ is a good price for the Lumia because of the storage.

Just to ask you one question about unactivated price I have seen in some sites (for instance bestbuy). The unactivated price means the unlocked price and i can use with any simcard.

Many thanks in advance.

The HTC 8X 8GB at these prices will get slaughtered by Nokia's L920 at $149 IMO. I mean, it's not $99 insane, but at $149, you can't really go wrong with Nokia's offering compared to the other flagships from Android and iOS.

Well, unless weight and apps really are the factors for people to buy phones.

Unactivated is not unlocked. It is still locked to AT&T. It's just the offcontract price.

I'm still wondering why the Lumia 900 devices are free (among other wp 7.5 devices), but the Focus S is still $99 on their site.

I will wait until it's in store to purchase. I rather see the colors in person prior to purchasing.

 

[unboxfetish]

for those who preordered at best buy, originally my order page was saying "shipping soon" or something like that. Now it changed to "backordered, 1-2 weeks"

Is this what everyone else is seeing, too?

Best Buy's allocation ran out? Well, looks like another 600k Lumias will be sold this quarter in the US.

I'm not too sure, but I will say from Iphone 5 experience, the amount of stock of the online warehouse is different than your local BB store. What I mean is, just because it's back ordered online, doesn't mean it's back ordered in store. See if you can get one pre-ordered one there!

I ordered within minutes and it is also.

Keep in mind the device doesn't actually launch until Nov 4th most likely. Hence the 1-2 week backorder.

I work in an att retail store and here at 11:10 am on the east coast still no word on the 920 not even in the system lol

Everyone knows the employees are the last to know about anything when it comes to these smartphones.

 

[bauerbach]

yeah, mine originally said it would arrive on the 23rd-24th. we obviously know that isnt true, so Im guessing 1-2 weeks backorder is just the new placeholder since it wont begin to ship till the 4th-ish.

Doubt anything is really sold out right now.

Not everyone will buy from att so 920 prob not an option

AT&T website is back up for me and no show on any WP8 devices and non also on the premier side of the site.

I have a question regarding contract. I'm currenltly on a 2 year contract that started in April. I believe the early termination fee is $325 - $10 for every month you've been on the contract so I'd pay $265. Okay, I'm planning on the 920 and I was going to pay the full price, which I see is $599, but based on that information, is it possible to do the following... call att and tell them I want to break the contract, pay the $265 and then do the $149 with 2 year contract? That's $414 instead of $599. Is there a certain amount of time I have to wait?

On AT&T, perhaps. An 8 GB 8X on AT&T is gimped to the extreme. But the 920 is big and heavy, and not presently sold on any other carrier. I expect HTC will sell boatloads of 16 GB 8Xes on T-Mobile and Verizon.

AT&T won't let you sign up again for 90 days after you terminate your contract, so you'll have to hang out with another carrier for that time.

I'd suggest pricing an 8X on T-Mobile and calling retentions at AT&T. Explain that you want to leave for T-Mo to get a modern device, since AT&T won't let you upgrade, and that it makes sense even with the ETF. See what retentions will do for you.
