Nokia could easily convert iPhone people to 920s. The problem is that they'll ask "is it on T-Mobile/Verizon?" and when they hear they have to switch carriers, interest will instantly vanish for 90% of them.
2/3 of people to be more exact. And considering most people are on contract on AT&T, even less.Nokia could easily convert iPhone people to 920s. The problem is that they'll ask "is it on T-Mobile/Verizon?" and when they hear they have to switch carriers, interest will instantly vanish for 90% of them.
Link to proof that Verizon even wanted to subsidize it?
Or how about you give US (I'm not an HTC ******) a link that Verizon denied it?Still waiting for a response to this. HTC fans have taken over the thread with their tears from having to settle.
Point is Verizon would never deny the 920, it's a great device and if they can get the 822 then they could get the 922.
If they wouldn't carry the 922 BECAUSE of the 3% marketshare, then they wouldn't carry the 8X or the 822. Derp.Of course they would. Windows phone has 3% marketshare and Microsoft is helping HTC subsidize the 8X.
AT&T is now footing the entire bill for Nokia.
So glad I left Verizon.
If they wouldn't carry the 922 because of the 3% marketshare, then they wouldn't carry the 8X or the 822. Derp.
For what reason would they deny the 920/922/920 variant? If it was to existSo...I'm going to assume you are young and just have no idea what I just said. Because you in no way properly responded to it. Or you just don't know what subsidization is.
And you keep talking about a 922 that doesn't exist.
For what reason would they deny the 920/922/920 variant? If it was to exist
Microsoft is helping HTC subsidize the 8X.
Utter nonsense.
Microsoft is subsidizing only one company -- Nokia -- with $1 billion/year in cash payments.
Oh, a WMPoweruser "rumor."
Sorry, fell for that before when they claimed to have inside knowledge that Nokia was planning to sue HTC over the 8 series.
As the old song goes, I won't be fooled again.
Besides, Nokia is KNOWN to get subsidies. If subsidies guarantee easy availability of handsets, then Nokia should have an easy time of getting them on every US carrier.
Not trueThey did get a subsidy. AT&T. Who is footing the entire bill plus marketing.
Verizon only cares about those trash Droid phones.
So essentially, your argument is illogical. Thanks for clarifying!
Not true
OK, Nokia people, your argument is inconsistent.
First, you claim Nokia is better than HTC and can sell more WPs worldwide. Then, you claim that Nokia cannot sell as many WPs as HTC in the US, since HTC is a more credible brand, and were thus forced into another brain dead exclusive, destined to fail.
Which is it? It can't be both.
I don't know what other people are saying, but HTC is going the right route. Why? Because OBVIOUSLY if you want to sell more devices, you have to make the device AVAILABLE to more people. Any idiot can understand that.
