Talked to rep at Microsoft Store in Denver today. He said the 929 release is now looking more like mid-January.

I'm going to be very torn if that's the case. Do I buy the 929 or hold out for the next wave of Lumia devices and jump ship from Verizon? That's going to be a tough call.

I hope that doesn't end up being the case. I'd love to get a 929 in time for my vacation for New Years. But if that can't happen, oh well. Whenever it ends up coming out, I'll get it. The specs are great. Definitely can't pass it up as a WP fan and Verizon customer.

I am anxiously awaiting the 929 as well, but 12/20 is definitely a no-go, so it won't make a 2013 release.

I keep getting distracted because this phone is delayed. I love the 5" size - and I love Windows Phone... But I'm willing to try something else (HTC One/Galaxy S4) to keep my tinkering mind busy.

Would be nice if this thing would just drop so I could leave it.

Not sure why y'all can't get this...the phone is not being delayed. In order for a phone to be delayed, there has to have been a mention of it from the carrier. You all are basing your "delayed" comments on unofficial leaks. Sounding more and more like the Apple crowd that is up in arms over some unofficial device that was never mentioned by Apple themselves..lol

I was looking to get a new WP and thought the 929 would be great. I didn't want to wait for ever so went for a 1520 on launch day, was going to test drive the 1520 and AT+T's network on prepaid. They didn't even have any at the one store in my town. Long story short went to Verizon picked up an HTC ONE and am I ever pleased with it. Running a WP ui launcher and loving this thing. You can't go wrong giving this device a shot, best speakers and better RF than my Motorola Maxx. I'll be interested to see how the 929 works out for everyone, but I'm doubtful ill get it anytime soon.

Sorry not getting your analogy. Its still early here and I'm working on my first coffee, so brain not quite fully in gear yet. Who, what died?

You're a casualty of Verizon taking their sweet time to announce and release this phone.

It's a joke. Uhg, the amount of times I have to say "It's a joke." to people on these forums after I say something. I must be very unfunny.

Not at all, I'm not always super sharp in the AM.;) But play your taps for BB as I quote your other post below. I almost choked on my cornflakes reading it. Just seeing someone reference it in a positive light I suppose.
As for being a Verizon casualty, I was seriously considering AT+T and either a 1020 or 1520. That would make me a casualty of their tactics in service and charges rather than their lack of releasing the 929. Their coverage always trumps everything else for me. If I were to get the 929, and I may yet, it would have been my first WP since the 6.5 OS titan I had back in the day. Buying the HTC ONE was an impulse buy and turns out to be a good one. My old razr Maxx was showing its age. The 1520 seems wrought with defects. I hope the 929 doesn't disappoint in that regard. Flashback to the past again Nokia was king of solidly built dependable phones that could take a real world beating and be fine. From what I see these days they're made in China and the quality has gone downhill. I hope they step up their game.

Looking at the specs of the BB Z30, it's actually a pretty nice work device. It's similar to the NL929 in a lot of ways, the biggest differences are the lack of killer camera specs, 16gb as opposed to 32gb, and the battery size. It has a 2810 mAh battery... Which makes me sad because I would have liked to have that inside the NL929.

I'd consider the BB Z30 if the BB10 operating system wasn't laggy, buggy, and dying. The exact opposite of WP8.

Well, heck.

December 10th, and we are nowhere near a release date. I, unlike most, do not think it is a mistake to release the 929 in January. Letting this be a "Hero" device at the turn of the year after the holidays for Verizon would work well. It would be the new phone, and I think it will rock the New Year on Big Red.

Also, the "WP 8.1wave of devices being better" argument is a wash, as well. What, the next wave of phones will have a better quad-core processor? WP doesn't "need" quad core anyways. I am glad it has it for spec wars, but it doesn't need it. Will the next wave of devices have a super-duper high def screen?

The 929, and the 1520, will get every bell and whistle of WP 8.1. So, no problem.

It just blows chuncks for me, personally. I want the 5" screen more then a 6" screen, and my family and I are going to have to make a decision on a carrier before the new year. If the 929 was out, or at least confirmed, I would more then likely be more inclined to jump from AT&T. But, as it sits, I am ... less motivated I guess.

Sigh... have I whined yet this post this would be the perfect WP for me? If it just existed??? :unhappy:

I am very content with my 928 but the only thing that disappoints me about the 929 taking so long is that Spring isn't too far away, and ill be selling my 929 as soon as the Spring flagship comes out! :p lmao

Hello everyone...my name is Jim and I just signed up with this forum. Like everyone else I am waiting for the release of the 929 so I can dump my iphone 5.
I was just on the Verizon website and started a chat with one of their specialists, Morris, and asked about the 929. He mentioned that it is NOT coming out at all. Has anyone else had this said to them. I am going to try again since a few weeks ago another specialist said it was in the pipeline.
Hopefully Morris was misinformed. Have a great day everybody
