Yeah it will after 3 months or so. Heck it will be days before SPRING comes before this phone hits Verizon. What is going to happen is that the Samsung ATIV S will come out & take all the would be Nokia Lumia 920 buyers.
This HOLIDAY season people should be looking at the Nokia Lumia 920 for Verizon, BUT instead they will see the VERY nice may I add Samsung ATIV S & go that route because of Microsoft & Nokia dumba$$ move.
With the exclusivity deal they have with AT&T, BOTH Microsoft with their WP8 & Nokia with their Lumia 920 will lose millions of sales. I really am starting to think that Nokia wants to go out of business because they are making choices that make me scratch my head.
Simple equation. If you want to sell your best phone then RELEASE it for every carrier POSSIBLE not just ONE, ESPECIALLY during the HOLIDAY season.

Every manufacturer does it where I live. HTC did it with their One X, Sammy with S3, Nokia with 808 hopefully Nokia does this in India as well. And yes, all of this is just a stone's throw away from where I live.

That's right.. have seen such campaigns from Sammy, Nokia, Sony and HTC here. Hoping that they release 920 in India in Nov, at good price *__*

Haven't seen such an event from Sony yet. I may be wrong though.

All on R&D? Will people buy devices when they don't know about them? 4 of my friends brought a Sammy instead of a One s/Xperia S thanks to the promotions/adverts Sammy is showing. The other two may be better than S2 but not many know about them.

Market all you want but ain't any good if only available on ATT. And only a small handful of tech geeks will spend that $1000 on an unlocked L920. Frankly starting to hate the name Lumia and more intrigued with Surface.

I doubt it'd be $1000. The 808 PureView was, at most, $700 when it hit Amazon US

I'd take a leave of absence from my job to do that, especially if I got to keep my demo phone(s)!
