In this space should be a review of the Nokia Lumia 920. However, instead is the story of why there is no review.<\/p>\n
Like any good and faithful techie, I pre-ordered the 920 in cyan on the November 7, to be shipped on November 8. I was in the midst of being displaced by Hurricane Sandy, so I wisely had the phone shipped to my brother’s apartment in NYC. I didn’t want the phone to get lost. The phone was supposed to come on the November 13 then, and I impatiently waited for my brother’s text to say it had come. Well, his text never came. I called AT&T, who opened a case file to look into the phone’s whereabouts. A few days and many phone calls later, AT&T decided to ship me a replacement phone.<\/p>\n
When I checked on the shipping information and saw that the phone being shipped was white, I also saw it hadn’t yet left AT&T’s system. I called to ask what the company could do to rectify this.<\/p>\n
“Well, when the phone comes, you can go to your local store and exchange it for the right color.”<\/p>\n
Huh? Isn’t the point of pre-ordering that I don’t have to wait for stock to arrive in the store?<\/p>\n
The white phone came today. It looks lovely. But I don’t want to keep it, so I’m not going to use it. I called AT&T and asked for help, but I was told to go to my local store instead. On Black Friday. Or I could order it over the phone, again, but it would be a separate order. And the company doesn’t know when it would come as AT&T is back-ordered for the cyan, and the local store doesn’t have it.<\/p>\n
Here I am with no phone and thinking seriously about switching phone providers. Nice job blowing it, AT&T.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
