So I know there are mixed reviews about the 1020; primarily the price and carrier exclusive status. But after deeper thought, I think that the 1020 can be good for the WP community by helping to sell more 920's.
Here is my logic: a customer here's about the 1020 and goes to a store to check it out. After seeing how amazing it is . . . they decide that $300 is too much to spend on a phone with a 2 year contract. The sales rep then suggests the 920 because it has the same OS and the camera was the best in the industry prior to the 1020. The customer appreciates that this camera is still a million times better than what they have, the price is right and it even has wireless charging.
I know this is dependent on the sales rep making this recommendation but if you think about it, this is how Apple continues to sell so many iPhone 4's and 4S's when the iPhone 5 came out. People aren't willing to pay that much for the new device so they get the older one.
Do you think Nokia is following the same strategy for their high end phones? This does extend the life of a device seeing that the iPhone 4S is still being sold almost 2 years after it was launched.
Am I crazy? Love to hear some feedback on this.
