Damn, I might finally have a reason to switch over to AT&T now. Doesn’t look like Verizon is offering this phone… ---

I’m sticking with my 920 for now, primarily because I’m on T-Mobile and have to wait until an international version of the 1020. I haven’t seen one bad review of the 1020 :tup: Also, sometime this month is the Amber & GDR2 updates will be out which bring glance mode & double tap to wake to Nokia Lumia phones. 1020 should already have this. (Short background; all Nokia phones have had the ability to check the time, notifications of missed calls, texts, etc. when the phone was locked just by looking at the screen. But when Nokia started using Windows Phone, none of the Nokia’s had it. They’re bringing it back.) Looks like this when off (Nokia N9) and proximity sensor blacks out the screen when it’s in your pocket. ![http://cdn6.fonearena.com/i/n9/N9%20Front%204.JPG](http://cdn6.fonearena.com/i/n9/N9%20Front%204.JPG) ![http://allaboutwindowsphone.com/images/features/misc/n9clock.jpg](http://allaboutwindowsphone.com/images/features/misc/n9clock.jpg) ---

Some of the apps kinda suck right now like Concur(for expenses and booking travel) I assume as Windows 8 adoption grows the apps will get better ---

Oh you’re talking about the OS itself. Well, yeah, WP8 is made by Microsoft, lol. And the images of the N9 above looks like the exact same font too. ---

^Lol I know you silly gooser. Zune is really where the whole Metro interface stemmed from. Even the physical build is similar. Microsoft just sucks ass at marketing, pricing, etc with this stuff. ---

I wonder if the guy who sold horses and was getting his ass handed to him by Ford thought he could save his business by buying a stable with slightly different horses?
