Hey,
I'm in sort of a unique spot here. I'm currently on VZW but my contract ends in a couple of weeks, just in time for the new round of Windows phones coming out. I'm currently an Android user with a Droid Pro, but I'm so tired of the thing that I'm ready to jump ship. I'm actually debating going "full tilt" and switching gmail to live mail, but that's a different story.
At any rate, the two options from VZ are the HTC 8X and the Lumia 822, for what I need either phone will do perfectly fine (though I'm disappointed that yellow isn't an option for either....) but the one thing missing from the 8X is Nokia Drive. I travel quite frequently and end up using my phone's GPS/Google Maps quite often. I've been reading that Nokia Drive will be made available to other OEMs 'soon' -- does anyone have a feeling for how soon? Anyone thinking VZW will offer it up for release day on the 8X?
I guess I could go with the Lumia -- but I'm not a huge fan of what VZW did to the bezel and like the looks of the HTC better... thoughts?
