Lumia 930 coming to AT&T?
It would seem reasonable that the obvious successor of the 920 (930) would come to AT&T since the largest 920 user base is the US model. However, I cannot make heads or tails on whether the 930 is coming to at&t. Our two year contracts on those 920s are coming up, and if the 930 isn't there to sway customers for a new Windows Phone, then many will buy out of the Nokia/WP scheme and get a Sony Z2, etc. Plus, MS needs to attack the US' market share fast if they wish to survive any longer. Does anybody share my concern and/or know if the 930 is indeed coming to AT&T?
Thanks,

I don't believe most WP people will jump ship, most are quite loyal. But yes, the 930 is coming to At&t. That is the point of the device. It is at&t icon but with all the features the 920 had. It will come. Probably middle of summer. It was designed for At&t network in US which means it works abroad as At&t uses similar frequencies and tech as European phones. (GSM)

I thought the 930 wasn't coming to any of the US carriers?? I just don't get AT&T customers. You guys are so spoiled when it comes to Windows Phone because you get just about EVERYTHING (even the 925 that was supposed to be a US exclusive to T-Mobile), yet you always want more.
Sorry, but really, you have/had the 920, 820 (I know it's EOL, but you had that, too), 8X, 1020, 520, 925, 1520, Ativ S Odyssey and are going to get the 635 (again, which should have only been for T-Mobile). Am I missing any?

Paying, loyal customers not having a replacement to the 920 after it has been out for 1.75 years is not being spoiled, it's unacceptable considering that Verizon has been enjoying the Icon (true current-Gen successor to 920/928) for months. The only current generation windows phone AT&T has is the 6inch 1520, which is a niche phone. The 920, 925, and 1020 are all basically the same phones with the same specs and neither of the latter two are sufficient successors to the 920.
Re: Lumia 930 coming to AT&T?
The problem is that only at&t uses full GSM phones, nothing else. All other us carriers use Verizon towers, sprint towers, or a mix of the three. Since pretty much the rest of the world uses GSM it is not a favoratism towards at&t it is just economics. If you want a WP out and available everywhere it will be designed as a GSM phone. All others will come next as pretty much only us uses other types.

Honestly I'm not super impressed by the specs on this. I really want a Surface phone.
