  1. Good to see that Verizon will get a Win Phone finally. Any little bit can only help Nokia and MS now. I still feel it was a mistake to allow any exclusivity (e.g. ATT and Lumia 920). They need as many phones out there as possible and available to all channels.

    Looking forward to the WP8 event, but it feels like too long of a gap from when they first announced WP8. MS sorely needs to start moving and fast.

  2. At least we'll be getting better battery life in exchange for the added ugliness and diminished color selection on the 822 versus the 820. This may end up being my next phone if Verizon doesn't get a 920 variant soon.

  3. Can't believe they did ATT only for the 920.

    So they have to compete with Android and Apple phones with crippled headsets on the other carriers.....

  4. No way to buy one of those, after they kill my investment in a Lumia 800 :(

  5. Wow, they really botched it for themselves. I hoped they would at least the style of the Lumia to Verizon. Not so...

  6. The Lumia 820 is a poor substitute for the Lumia 920. The Verizon flavored 822 is an even weaker consolation prize. Not interested.

    The HTC 8X is a viable alternative. But why does it only have 16GB (and no SD slot to bolster that)? Granted, the 8X has a better audio amp in its favor, but that's not enough to outweigh the strength of the 920's camera. Even though the 8X is a whole lot more appetizing than the 822, the smallish 16GB memory and downgrade in the camera department will keep me from pulling the trigger on that model, too.

    I guess I'll hold out for next year's hardware refresh.
