Nope. Counting the days now...Is there still no official word on price in the US when it (supposedly) releases on the 7th?

Their customer support on Twitter confirmed it for me, as Nov 7th.Nov. 7th better be the release date! I returned my 1520 today in preparation for the 830. I'm using a 635 until then. Everyone I asked at my AT&T store didn't even know what a Lumia 830 was! Lol
Picked up a Lumia 830 (984) factory unlocked version from ebay. Got me a straight Talk sim (att) and all is good. 45 dollars pre-paid is the way I like to roll.
It came in a new box with a wall charger and nokia ear-phones. It is a white back plate. I am really liking this phone. I have been wanting to get away from Sprint (they have a true unlimited data plan, but I do not need that -- too pricey) and iphone for some time now. I like the windows software and the nokia hardware. The camera is not a replacement for a good DSLR, but it is good for a phone, very nice. I like the basic vibrant, shadows editing effect nokia has for the pics. The size and feel of the phone is just about right and looks premium. Honestly, it could be a bit bigger for me: I like reading books on my phone; however, 5 inch is still a good size for reading in phones. The MS office on the phone is way cool.
are you able to get 4g speeds using straight talk with the RM-984 model?
EDIT***nevermind, read through the thread a bit more. So at best, one can use HSPA+ with the rm-984 through Straight Talk, correct?
The price of the phone off contract is too high through ATT, but I really want to buy it. Thinking about buying RM-984 from Expansys USA
Thanks. I like the black metal version. But, not paying over $400. I'll give it a few weeks and get it here if the price doesn't drop. Thanks again.The dealer I purchased from ebay was never-msrp.
Well I'm eating my words. I expected $299 and free on contract. That would have stirred it up a bit. $99 and $450 is just....completely ludicrous and not justifiable. I will play the waiting game. This is not how technology works. You can't release an affordable flagship for what an ACTUAL flagship cost 2 years ago (920). That just isn't done.
Looks like I'll be getting one Friday. I'm getting a $150 device credit for porting a number to my plan, and I'm hoping to sell the Fitbit. I figure I'll be out about $250 in cash. If they had the 735, I'd probably go for that instead. Hopefully I'll enjoy this phone until a new flagship comes out in 2015.
