However, that is on the Android side. I would love to try some of their other, newer Windows phones to give a true judgment (wasn't a fan of the Titan 4G). I had a Tilt by HTC when Windows Phones were still PDA-like and abysmal, and even still, I liked that phone. So much I got the Tilt right after using a Tytn. Really, these are just my opinions smile.gif. Feel free to ignore me, though, as I'm just rambling rolleyes.gif.

naw, just wondering why you felt that way smile.gif

I like how Sense widgets work, although Sense is a bit too resource heavy IMO. But definitely, Sense is usually a very polarizing system for android. It seems either people love it or hate it for the most part tongue.gif

I'm interested to see an HTC J Butterfly release in the US, but unfortunately, it seems it's going to be a Verizon-only release.

Speaking of exclusives, Nokia releasing the 920 as an exclusive is such a big mistake. Nokia being in the situation its in with diminishing marketshare, it could really use a somewhat universal launch. HTC is in the same boat, but they seem to keep their android phones exclusive.

Oh well. Best wishes to both companies thumb.gif

Yeah, my gf on the other hand absolutely loves it. And you are right about Nokia choosing exclusivity. For a company that stated they were in troubled waters recently, it's a bold move.

I..................can't wait!!!!! This is a great deal. It makes me glad I didn't pre order it for $50 more at Best Buy. smile.gif
$100 WITH a free wireless charging pad, and it works with all the car chargers I have now..

I think I can convince my wife of this.
I may just have to preorder it tomorrow...

It has been widely publicized. AT&T has an exclusivity on the 920 for 6 months. Which means that the 922 for Verizon shouldn't be around until Spring time.

While I tend to agree with you, I have to presume that Nokia has a little bit of an idea as to what they are doing. I too wish they would reliease it on all 4 of the major US carriers at the beginning, but we don't know how much of a check AT&T wrote Nokia for letting them being the exclusive on the 920 for 6 months. It could be a big check up front, or a higher price paid per phone throughout its life span. We just don't know the details of the agreement.

With Nokia admitttedly being in financial "difficulty" I have a hard time believing they would do this if it didn't work out in their favor....financially.

Yes AT&T helped Nokia stay alive which I think is good and hopefully they don't continue signing agreements with them. The devices that T-mo and others get are usually far inferior to the ones released on AT&T. Really is sad because Nokia has always made some of the best hardware in the mobile market, but it has always been hard to get in the US. Example: The (old) E71, N8, N900, N9, N950, Lumia 800 etc.
