What WP8 devices have you seen?

[davidD93]

Pretty simple question (and by this, I mean those you have seen out and about, and not just in phone shops)

The first one I saw was a uni friend who had just got an 820 at the end of January, then I bought a 620 a week after, after reading nearly universally positive reviews about it (not because of the 820 I saw, I was going to buy a WP8 device when I saw a cheap enough device, and by pure coincidence, the 620 came out on the same day, but waited for a few more reviews before I bought it), I know someone else with another 820, and I saw a 920 whilst in a uni lecture, and that is it.

I ask, because I see on forums such as this one that clearly there are many different WP8 phones out there, and yet the only ones I have seen are Nokia! So the question is - where are the HTC's, Samsung's etc, and where are the other 620's for that matter? The only ones I have seen are all the higher spec 8xx or 9xx Series (WP7 AND WP8). I am based in the Midlands, England.

I own a 620. My sister has a 720, and one of my friends has a 820. I haven't yet seen a HTC or Samsung WP8 device.

In the wild, just one, a Lumia 810. I was getting on a plane, leaving Orlando as couple of weeks ago. I have the same phone, and my wife has the 8X.

Edit: I did see a number of people buying 920s from the Microsoft store, I guess you could say I saw those in the wild as well.

I own a Lumia 920 and Lumia 810. My mother has a Lumia 620. As far as WP8 devices I've seen outside, I once saw a guy on the subway with a white Lumia 920. That was a few months ago. Normally, I just see people with iPhones and Samsungs, a few BlackBerrys, too.

An Ativ S might be difficult to notice since the damn thing is going to look like every other Galaxy out there (since everyone puts a case on) until you see the home screen.

I got a 520, two classmates got their WPs too (a 620 and a 710 - does 710 counts?), and another friend got a 920. And that's all.

 

[constantinosmi]

I saw a Lumia 920 and an 8X. It felt nice! :smile:

I have a Lumia 720, which had a cosmetic fault and went for a replacement. Was given Lumia 800 for that period (which was a brick IMO after using 720). A chap I know has htc 8x, have seen 620, 8s, 920 & 520 as well. Yet to see something from Samsung wp8 series.

I've seen a couple of 920s... A majority were at&t employees that I met in places like the barbershop.

The 8X... I actually ported a customer over from at&t (or verizon) that had the 8X to get the HTC One.

There have been others I can't remember at the moment.

The only other WPs I've seen in the wild have been HTC Radars. One being a roomie, and this lady I used to work with. That said, I show my 8X to everyone!! Usually put it in their hands too.

zip.

(although I have seen a Radar)

I have only seen an 820 belonging to this girl who absolutely HATED it.

Took me a few seconds to completely revamp her settings and start screen and she was like "OMG you can do all this aswell " *Seriously facepalmed that day.

I am actually quite disappointed, I live in Karachi, where Nokia is known to have a strong market presence, however I have yet to see any Lumias :-/

The number of z10's however are insane .. in comparison.

I've only ever seen one in the wild, and that was a Verizon employee I met at a restaurant. I don't recall which phone he had. Which WP8 did Verizon have before the Lumia 928?

IIRC
the Samsung ATIV Odyssey
Lumia 822
HTC 8X

Right after I bought my 620 on Easter Sunday, I began seeing Lumias everywhere.

For example, there was this absolutely gorgeous girl who was buying a 620 at the same time as me. Then, I saw a 720 (or 520).
There was this guy who was texting in church with his 610.
And, my classmate has a 920.

[nikhilr51]

See a couple 920s around my Uni (not counting mine or my 3 friends i made swap their iphone 4s for 920s).
Also saw an 800 and a HTC wp7 phone at my uni as well.
Also my mum has a 520

 

[Muessig]

I've seen someone using a 920 on the London Underground. I know people that use 800, 820 and one of the budget Huawei Zen's from Windows Phone 7. I even saw someone using a pink 800 yesterday.

 

[anon(4757114)]

I have a 920 with my old 8X in reserve. I got my Mum & sister a 800 each but I've never seen a Windows Phone in the wild.

 

[ohgood]

don't think I've seen 12 wp devices in use since wp was announced.
