My point all along primortal. If true.  But there is still nothing that I have seen that confirms a 920 adoption by Verizon.  So not matter how much you read or how much you know about the phone my original quesiton still goes unanswered.  Very frustating and as stated earlier Verizon's help in this is non-existent!

VZW thinks releasing any news about future devices is taboo and that if they did so all their current customer would leave for another carrier.  It's a ancient practice that needs to be revised and VZW refuses to change.  Sad....

I see nothing here to indicate Verizon is going to have anything in the 9xx series. The only semi-legit information is a screenshot of a possible Verizon system showing an 822.  A Midrange phone at best. Everything else reported here and elsewhere is hearsay. Someone knows someone who kows someone else who works for verizon and they say they are going to get it.  It's not unlike the old telephone game, if you even trust the sorce that says he even knows someone in the first place.  Giving that kind of information on the internet, any level of credence, would be foolish at best.

Like I said above:

there's also the possibility that he's just some sick wacko that sports a rooted Android and gets his kicks spinning up Windows Phone geeks like us, so he's making this whole thing up.  But for the moment, we don't have much else to go on.  So let's hope that he's on the up and up.  The thing that makes me wonder is that his post count is only 60.  Someone else posted that he trusts him, but with only a post count of 60, how do you get to that point?  I sure don't....  But let's hope he's on the up and up.  I want to believe him, but I also don't want to be let down again like Nokia let me down last week by announcing ATT exclusivity.

We'll know if the guy is full of it on 11/23.  Before that, it's all up in the air.

Drazyw if you read the posted on WPCentral from the VZW insider; that VZW might have been asked to remain silent on the 920 variant for the time being.  Possibly not to steal AT&T thunder with the 920.

Leaks out of VZW are very hard to come by and its very possible that the 920 variant isn't in their system for that very reason.

I've waited this long for a high end WP(7/8) device, a couple more months is a cake walk Smiley Happy

I know, and I understand and I love reading rumor sites just like everyone else. I love the rumor/speculation mill but I'm also a high end gadget kinda guy and I would LOVE to be able to plan ahead on what I want to get. Admittedly I'm impatient and I don't like not knowing.  I'll hop carriers for a phone. I buy my phones outright. With as silent as Verizon is, It makes it hard to "wait and see" with the potential of it not ever happening.  I don't want to jump ship because I have a 22GB data plan for half the cost of a 20GB plan on ATT, but I'll do it.  Without a clear direction, it's likely that I will go where the phone is. I'm sure i'm not the only one and i'm sure it's a small number of people. But, their silence, loses customers.

I'm taking the "wait and see" attitude - VZW has only promised that they'll carry a WP8 device, but it could be a single extremely low end that all of us hate just to push more of their google phones.

Time will tell if VZW is serious about Windows Phones.

I'm an instant gratification kinda guy and I hate wating, but if I KNOW it will come, I will wait.  Not knowing makes me want to just go where I know it is.  I know, I'm kinda messed up like that. Smiley Happy I really hate my phone.  It works ok, until I REALLY need to use it.  When you really want to use something, it's slow as crap, or for some reason stops working/errors out, loses signal, or some crap.  It's Murphys law.  I can use it all day and it's fine, but when that one time comes along when you need some information FAST, you can forget it. (Galaxy Nexus in case you're wondering)
