925 will get EOL'd. This year. Or maybe they'll stretch it to March 2014. There's no advertising for it,it's buried on the T-Mobile websites, reps barely know about it, there was no talk about it after the announcement - all quiet. I haven't received my email informing me of the Lumia 925 availability yet.
Then, T-Mobile goes ahead and, I suppose to make themselves look nice and cheap, force authorized retailers such as the Microsoft Store to sell the device for $699. Meanwhile, T-Mobile can look nice and cheap, "Hey, if you're looking for this phone we barely know anything about, and don't advertise at all, you should come in to our stores where we can offer it cheaper than anyone else". Come on, Lumia 810 was $100 cheaper at the MS Store at launch. Since then, T-Mobile eliminated contracts and are doing everything they can to look as cheap as possible.
Due to that, I can't even get my purchased MS Store warranty to get me 925 (or 810 replacement) no matter what I do - unless I pay the $250 difference. I have to now send my 810 away directly to Nokia for manufacturer's defect and pray they don't determine water damage or some crap, then send it back and charge me for wasting their time (yep, they do that). And I have to cross my fingers that my phone will freeze or lock up on them when they are testing it. Ugh. **** T-Mobile. **** the Microsoft Store.It's all T-Mobile's fault though - they actually caused the events that led to unspectacular sales which led to them EOLing the device early and then screwing over people like me.
