Re: WPC 30K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Expansys is selling it for $234. Brand new. Factory unlocked. Yes, it is better than the 822 in the following areas:
- For one, you will get group SMS/MMS, because for VZW phones that gets routed through the CDMA radio. That's why they removed the APN settings.
- It is the only interlop unlocked WP8 device, meaning you can potentially flash a custom ROM on it (if that's your thing)
- Bigger screen
- Lighter weight
- Bigger battery
- Updates are not determined by a carrier
The camera, storage, and design are a wash. You do lose wireless charging from the 822, but the shells can be hard to find for some. Yes, you can get Lumia Apps on it by using the Wifi Proxy trick. Just dig here in the forums.
But, that's my take on things...
Area you suggesting that the Samsung Ativ S for $243 from Expansys is better than the 822? Can you please tell me if you can get Nokia Mix Radio on it?
