Lumia 928 - who's in?

With the announcement of the Lumia 928 all but guaranteed for this week, possibly available for purchase the next, I'll be hovering over the "Buy Now" very soon.

My HTC 8X has a fantastic camera, but it fails miserably in low light. Pairing a xenon flash with the already excellent 920 camera to create the 928 should solve this nicely. I'm just wondering if I should wait for the rumored aluminum cased Nokia with a possibly 41MP camera.

Anyone else committed to the 928? I'll see if I have the willpower to wait for the first price drop this time around.

I'm going to wait and see what the "EOS" has to offer before I decide if I should get the 928 or not. Right now I have the 822 and I'm pretty happy with it.

Sad that VZW cannot trump AT&T for the exclusive on the "EOS". If AT&T gets the exclusive on it (which is most likely) we won't see it here for at least 6 months.

too late already in a contract with the 8x

VZW needs to get moving on this, my Droid X was a pile O crap from the start and I'm well past my upgrade date. Get this phone released already Verizon! That $20 bucks a month extra you steal from me for a subsidized phone needs to be put to good use.

I have a droid2 phone from 2 1/2 years ago. It wigs out and I've been looking at phones for 3 months. Was considering a Droid Maxx HD...but I'm ready for a real change. I love MS and sounds like it will be very compatible with office products I already use for work and home - including OneNote.

I was praying this would be released last month in time for a week long, but nope....still no release date. I'm committed to wait.

And for the daily rumor mill:

http://www.gottabemobile.com/2013/05/06/nokia-to-announce-lumia-925-and-lumia-928-on-may-14/

Leave it to Verizon to debut a 6month old phone that's actually worse than its predecessor (half the storage as the 920)?

Isn't it bad enough the HTC One destroys the DNA? Maybe next year their Iphone will be 8GB's!

We are sitting on 3 upgrades and are ready to upgrade accounts (even tho it means giving up unlimited data). We are taking the whole family to WinPhone8. My wife and I are in for two 928's and one of the kids gets an 822. The rumor mill has been killing us for months - just release it so we can give you our money!!

Most likely will have to wait for Nokia's press conference next week, 5/14.

My wife is in the same boat as Y2Kmached - She has a Droid2 that likes to reboot at the worst possible moment, among many other annoying quirks. I have a Droid x2 that is in the early stages of dementia. And we're both stuck on versions of android in the 2.3.xx range. I think my x2 got one official update. I understand the life cycle of phones is shorter than PC's but our phones got virtually no continued support. We are ready to move on from android. I am impressed with WinPhone. The OS was easy to pick up and navigate, and this will allow us to approach unifying all the devices in the house. The tease on this phone has been brutal. If I hadn't seen and coveted the 920, and if my first cell wasn't a Nokia, we would have gone with the 8x. I am committed to seeing where this leads. Hopefully the 928 lands with a boom rather than a plop.

I'm in - it'll be my third day one Windows Phone, unless they only release black and white. I want a splash of color this time around, so if they don't release cyan or red on day one, I'm going to HOPE that I can be patient enough to hang on to the 822 until they do.

I am so in! I have already upgraded my wife's feature phone to a white NL822, my daughter's Trophy to a white NL822, and my son's Droid to a black... you guessed it, a black NL822. They are all very happy with their devices.

I have been very patient, holding on to the Trophy I got on day one. VZW cannot release the NL928 soon enough for this WP early adopter.

I'm in as well! Love my Droid X but am looking forward to a change. Hopefully we can order this time next week!

I'd love to dump the HTC Trophy for this and was going to do so.......until I read about the absolute disaster XBox Live is. Zune Subscription on WP7 was the best. I see nothing but a mess moving to WP8. Especially with the 2000+ songs and multiple playlists. Dangit!

Heretic1989

When my contract ended 6/12, i looked at the windows phones. And in spite of the favorable reviews (both "expert" and user) for at least a few of those phones. I chose not to go there. I'll just wait until 11/29/14 to see what phone(s) msft has out then.

The Zune -> XBOX live thing is really annoying, but better to bite the bullet and deal with it now. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Microsoft to make it easier, and once you're done with it, you can take advantage of some of the XBOX features you didn't have with Zune. I had over 3000 songs and just let my PC work it over night....

beauzero

You realize that the Zune -> XBOX Live thing happened over a year ago? I understand using your Zune like an mp3 player but you can just treat both your Zune and your Windows Phone like a hard drive and transfer the music files over. It is very very simple. If you are talking about the monthly subscription service then the only thing that really changed is the name...and now you can stream the music to your XBOX (Gold Live membership) using the same account. It is actually better.

...plus the Windows Phone update due out this summer (for free) will turn on the FM radio hardware in your phone. Android and iPhones do NOT have a native FM radio tuner built in...nor do they support them in the operating system like Windows Phone does.

Well I couldn't wait for the price drop, picked one up yesterday and still getting used to the glossy finish. I convinced myself after doing "hand seizure" photos with my 8X and the 928. Of course the 928 camera blew the 8X out of the water. Maybe it's my girlish hands, but the 928 feels uncomfortable to hold due to the boxy chassis and glossy finish. The 8X wins hands down for hand comfort, but the 928 wins in every other category. Only other oddity is the 1280x768 vs. 1280x720 resolutions. You actually get less vertical room on the screen with the 768 horizontal than the 720, something noticeable when the phones are side-by-side but not a big deal when I'm staring at just the 928.
