HTC One X for 99 Cents at AT&T Site ? Bye Bye Windows Phone!

For Sale Mint Condition HTC Titan and Accessories!!!  So I’ve decided to get away from Windows Phone. My contract expired a few months ago with AT&T and I’ve been trying to get a Nokia 920, I even went to the AT&T store earlier this morning ready to buy a 920 and they have no 920s in stock and they don’t know when or if they’ll be getting more. I want the 920, there are two stores within a few minutes driving from me and neither have the 920os in stock, and yes they are official AT&T stores. The one I was at this morning, the guy was actually honest with me about it and said he didn’t know when or if he’ll be getting more in. The other store just lied to me over and over again, they kept telling me early next week we’ll have them in, and nope they never got them in. I stopped several times when they told me their shipment would be in, and nope none came in.

I stopped over Amazon to see what they had in stock ready to ship, the 920s seems to be in stock, but I don’t want to wait. I also looked at prices on other things and see they’re much lower than the AT&T site is.

I’ve just decided to go back to Android. I’ve had two Windows Phones since the new OS came out and I liked them and one would think that the OS would have matured by now, but the stuff I want just isn’t available for it yet and I’m tired of waiting. The stuff I used on Android I want to be able to use on Windows Phone but the companies just don’t seem to care about supporting it, at least that’s how it seems to me. I can’t do on my Windows phone what I could do on my Android phone. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Windows Phone OS, but the support is just too lacking from what I can see. After using two Windows Phones I’ve found that I miss Android honestly. Apps that are available on iOS and Android cannot be found on Windows Phone. It’s been out for a while now so one would think the apps might catch but apparently not.

I went to the AT&T site and checked out my upgrade options, I was browsing around I was really thinking of the Galaxy S III, but I don’t want to pay $200 for a phone, never have, never will. (Amazon has the S3 for only $140 for me as an upgrade, so I may go that route) As I was browsing though there are ads on the sidebar for other phones and I saw the HTC One X for only 99 cents, and I thought what the hell, why not?! For that price, that sounds good to me. I was all ready to go, but apparently it just wasn’t meant to be…

So I clicked the ‘View Details’ and it says the phone isn’t available in my area. That’s the gray color, but if I look at the black color HTC One X it is available in my area but it’s $199.99. I don’t understand it, why advertise a phone to me and then tell me I can’t have it?! Why is the gray only 99 cents but the black is $200? There’s no difference, just the color.

So I give up, I guess I’ll get a new phone someday, but just not today apparently, it’s just not in the cards for me. I don’t think it will be a Windows phone really, I think I just have to go back to Android and maybe revisit Windows at a later date.
