Hello all guys!
I just registered in the forums since I'm a soon-to-be proud WP owner, and wanted some feedback regarding my upcoming phone just to be sure.:winktongue:
I'm planning to buy a Nokia Lumia 822 for the cause. I live in Bolivia (and believe me, the Samsung hype hits hard even here) and I was looking for a nice, affordable Windows Phone, and this Lumia in particular seems like the perfect match (also, I've been a sucker for Nokia since the old days).
Regarding the 822, I've heard the Verizon version that is currently in the market is GSM unlocked.
The questions start here:
1.- Currently, my carrier (Entel Bolivia) is using: 2G 850/1900 / HSDPA+ 850/1900 / LTE 700 (with SIM card, GSM, right?). I heard the 822 comes outright unlocked for GSM. Would this phone work with full features under this circumstances without tampering (3rd party unlocking) with it?
2.- Which accessories would you recommend for this type of phone? I usually take care of my stuff, but accidents happen. Hahaha. Cases and screen protectors.
3.- Does this phone come with the wireless charging capability out of the box? I mean, would I only need to buy the charging pad to get it to work?
4.- Is it still a good idea to buy this phone (a lil' old, but still in the best on the price/feature ratio) now? Which alternatives for a nice phone would you recommend? Windows Phone is a must.
5.- I've seen some of these phones in the Marketplace part of the boards. Any particular seller you would recommend?
Thanks in advance for the help! :excited:
