you should try the LG Quantum...you can grab that cheap to try out Windows Phone.

You will like it. It will be Android/WP for me

Am most likely going prepaid from January on, and I doubt a 920 can be had for the price of a, Nexus 4 unlocked, will see though been hearing good things, apps on my phone personally aren't a issue

Is $300 or so your budget?

You will probably be able to rock a WP8 and Galaxy Nexus for about $350...nice combination right there. :takedat:

It can be had on eBay for about $450 if you can deal with it being opened for a day or 2. Lots of those cats get buyers remorse and sometimes list them at crackhead prices. I guarantee you I will be able to grab one for about $300 there soon.
I get phones at a steal out there. Check user phonestoreusa. I got an LG Nitro HD or $70 which is unheard of for a dual core lte at&t phone out of contract...the only thing wrong was the back battery cover and that could be replaced for about $10 :laugh:

:usure:

Maybe the locked ATT variant but not for an unlocked phone buddy.

Breh that app store is a huge issue :usure:

As soon as went in there and I didnt see Instagram, YouTube, Nike Running, Flipboard and Pulse it was a WRAP :beli:

There wasnt even any decent games :bull:

the apps will come. there will be alot of developers who look at how crowded the app store & google play is, and give windows 8 a shot. plus MS makes the best development tools.

:ohlawd: I knew you would like it. I don't remember, did you ever get a Windows 7 Phone?

I think @Malta was planning on getting one as well.


Nah I kept holding out cause I didn't want to jump on a new carrier with an outdated phone.... This shyt is so fluid its not even funny

I'm looking at my old Android phone like :scusthov: ... Even with JB, it doesn't match this phone from an OS beauty and design perspective...

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Can't find this shyt anywhere for a decent price, all the unlocked phones are between $680-770. The ones AT&T and Microsoft are selling are between $450-500 and those are still locked, just no commitment :dry:

I want this phone but I might ride out with the Nexus 4, I am having all types of trouble justifying buying a $700 phone.

What provider are you trying to hop on? You can use a locked AT&T phone on Straight Talk with no problems and then be able to unlock it if you wish a couple of months later (Tho I am not sure why you would want to)

The Nexus 4 is a beast...I am very close to just buying one myself :wow:

The phone is dope as hell, but that price tag is just brutal, kind of defeats the purpose of what I'm trying to do. The only reason I'm considering it is because resale value should be solid, and I hold onto phones for a while. But, I know as soon as I buy it Nokia will have the Lumia 1000 that's thinner, faster, better and gives head on command so in essence fukk these phone companies.

There have been reports of T-Mobile finally getting their network in order and the developer unlocked Lumia 920 will run on damn near ANYTHING.

An unlocked at&t version will probably not get you 4G on T-Mobile unless there is something I am missing. The Nexus 4 sounds like the best bet for you since you want to get on that plan.

The plans for the 920 are absurd, paying $900-1100 a year for a damn phone service. I don't even necessarily care about getting full 4G speeds, I might be traveling a bit in the next year so really all that matters to me is getting the right phone.


The Nexus is cool, I'm just very tired of Droid right now, would like a change and I hate HTC so the 8x is out of the question. I'm stuck breh, that $700 is just a kick in the balls :noah:

What color are you trying to get? eBay newly listed items might be your best bet. I saw one listed for $389.99 only opened for a day and it was gone within minutes. I think it was the white one.

If I see one @ $350 I am buying it immediately, I don't even care about the color at that point fukk it.

White or black, don't need any other colors beyond that, I'm a simple dude.

I'll have to start checking Ebay in that case, cause I'd snatch one up quick for $389. I can afford one for $700, but then I remind myself "Son, it's a phone, you barely talk on the phone".
