Super disappointed that I couldn’t find one of these Windows 8 phones today. Visited and called around, but nothing. It’s been the worst kept secret for weeks that Bell was going to start carrying WP8 phones today. I made a point of visiting or phoning several Bell retail stores in my area, none had any, and it was eventually explained to me that Bell had just moved their HTC warehouse to Edmonton and all of 2 (count ‘em) WP8 phones had been delivered for the big launch day(and both were in Red Deer). What is up with that?
Well, I know it’s just a phone, but it sure would be nice if Bell would go to a LITTLE effort to show some love to long time loyal customers. Do I wait out the contract? Buy it out and move to Rogers? Buy an unlocked Nokia Lumia 920? I don’t know, but I want me a Windows 8 phone…
Why is it that Apple can figure out how to do a product launch, but no one else can? At least Microsoft was able to copy the approach for Windows 8 and the Surface… watching Nokia, HTC, and Canadian wireless providers like Bell, Rogers and Telus bumble this thing forwards is just pathetic. No wonder Microsoft is thinking of doing their own phone.
bummer
