This weekend, I said goodbye to my beloved HTC One M8. For some reason, not dropped, etc., it died on me. At first, it would still turn on and I would see the HTC logo, but it won't continue booting and just reboot over and over. I tried all possible button combos - nada.
In a way, this got me excited because I can purchase a Lumia phone, which I should have done in the first place. So, gigiddy I went to my go-to place for gadgets - Best Buy. I saw a MS Lumia AT&T GoPhone, that was IT! I was willing to go that route even if I have to switch networks, but after a few minutes of the rep looking for one - NADA! They don't have any on stock.
Not feeling defeated, I went to Verizon store - ZERO MS phones! Went to AT&T, they do have Lumia 950, but they don't have promos to switch and I will have to pay ETF and more in monthly rates. I again just asked for a Windows GoPhone (I just really need a functioning phone), none in stock!
Still feeling hopeful, I went to another Best Buy store and spoke with a rep. The response I got was the nail in the coffin - we only carry the popular ones. At that point, two days without a phone, I bit the bullet and bought me an iPhone. I hate it, but I can't be stubborn and stick with WP and not have a phone for a few more days. Plus, the options out there are not even compatible with VZW! Sorry Windows Phone, it's NOT me, it's YOU!
