AT&T Nokia Lumia 820 and 920 coming November 9th for $49 and $99
It's official. AT&T has just announced the date and pricing for the Nokia Lumia 820, Lumia 920 and the HTC 8X as well and by our estimates, AT&T is getting very aggressive with pricing here.
The Nokia Lumia 920 will be available this Friday, November 9th for just $99—a full $50 less than what Best Buy was pricing the device at just a week ago. In addition, AT&T will be offering a free wireless charging plate with each purchase of the Lumia 920 while supplies last. Windows Phone Central accurately brough you that news a few days ago. Preorders start tomorrow, November 7th.
The Nokia Lumia 820 will fetch for just $49, also available on Friday, November 9th with preorders also beginning tomorrow.
The HTC 8X will surprisingly come later in the month, before Thanksgiving but with no firm release date yet set. That device will command a higher price tag for $199 for the 16GB version and just $99 for the 8GB option, which will also be available California Blue and Limelight (yellow).
There is little doubt in our mind that AT&T is making the Lumia 920 the best option with heavy subsidies. Coming in with 32GB of memory, the Lumia 920 is significantly cheaper than the same offering of the iPhone 5 with comparable memory ($299). Throw in a free wireless charging pad and for $99, users are getting a very good bargain for what is arguably one of the most powerful devices on the market today.
Full presser below...
Windows Phone 8 smartphones arrive at AT&T Nov. 9; pre-orders begin Nov. 7
Special AT&T Promo Offers Free Wireless Charging Plate With Purchase of a Nokia Lumia 920
DALLAS, Nov.6, 2012 – AT&T* announced today the availability of three new smartphones in its growing Windows® Phone 8 portfolio. Beginning Nov. 9, AT&T customers will be able to purchase the Nokia Lumia 920 for $99.99 and the Nokia Lumia 820 for $49.99. Before Thanksgiving, customers can pick-up the Windows Phone® 8X by HTC® with 16 GB of memory for $199.99. Additionally, AT&T revealed an exclusive version of the Windows Phone 8X by HTC with 8 GB of memory in California Blue and Limelight (yellow) for $99.99. AT&T is only carrier to offer this device in Limelight.
Starting Nov.7, the Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 will be available for pre-order at www.att.com/lumia920 and www.att.com/lumia820, respectively. The unrivaled leader in Windows Phones, AT&T has sold more Windows Phones than any other carrier.
Nokia Lumia 920
The Nokia Lumia 920 includes the latest advances in Nokia PureView imaging innovation. The 8.7-megapixel camera features advanced floating lens technology, dubbed 'optical image stabilization' which helps eliminate blur by compensating for hand movement while photos or videos are being shot. The camera in Nokia Lumia 920 can take in five times more light than typical smartphones to capture top quality photos and videos in low light.
In addition to its 2000mAh battery – the largest battery Nokia has put in a smartphone – the Lumia 920 includes built-in wireless charging capabilities** for an easy, convenient way to get more out of every day. For a limited time and while supplies last, AT&T will also include a wireless charging plate – free of charge – with each purchase of a Lumia 920.
The Lumia 920's 4.5-inch PureMotion HD+ ClearBlack display is protected by Corning® Gorilla® Glass and is optimized for readability in the brightest light conditions, even outdoors on a bright day. In addition to its durable, scratch-resistant, curved display, the Lumia 920 also has a new sensitive touchscreen that lets you type with fingernails or while wearing gloves.
Available in red, white, black, yellow and cyan, the Lumia 920 is available for pre-order beginning Nov. 7 at www.att.com/lumia920 for $99.99 with a two-year agreement.
For more information, please visit www.att.com/lumia920. A look at the Lumia 920's features in action is available in this video.
Nokia Lumia 820
The Nokia Lumia 820 is a snappy, mid-range smartphone that delivers high-end performance in a compact package. It features the same unibody look and feel as high-end Lumia smartphones – including a ClearBlack display and new sensitive touchscreen – in an attractive design that supports exchangeable shells. These exchangeable shells, which are sold separately, are available in range of colors and features, including wireless charging.
The Lumia 820 offers the same exclusive content as the Lumia 920, including Nokia Drive, a turn-by-turn voice navigation solution, Nokia Music, a free music streaming service and Nokia City Lens, an augmented reality application that uses the phone's camera viewfinder to provide information about points of interests in the surrounding area.
The Nokia Lumia 820 comes in black and is available for pre-orders beginning Nov.7 at www.att.com/lumia820 for $49.99 with a two-year agreement.
For more information, please visit www.att.com/lumia820.
Windows Phone 8X by HTC
The Windows Phone 8X by HTC boasts a pure unibody design perfectly sculpted with a dramatic taper that feels thin in your hand and its stunning 4.3-inch 720p HD display (1280 x 720 pixels) brings photos, video and Web pages to life.
The 2.1-megapixel, 88 degree, ultra-wide front-facing camera is able to capture self-portraits of you and the faces of up to four friends all at once. The 8-megapixel rear-facing camera with an f/2.0 aperture allows you to capture great photos and videos – even in low light. As the first-ever Windows Phone 8 smartphone with built-in Beats Audio™ technology, this device gives users authentic, studio-quality sound. The device has a unique audio amplifier that powers the 3.5mm audio jack and speaker to provide improved sound for music, video and even gaming.
The Windows Phone 8X by HTC will be available in two models – California Blue with 16 GB of memory for $199.99 and an AT&T exclusive in California Blue or Limelight (yellow) with 8GB of memory for $99.99.

For the 2012 holiday shopping season, AT&T will be the only U.S. carrier to offer new Windows 8 tablets to their customers. Samsung ATIV smart PC offers customers the blend of PC capability with the convenient tablet form factor. Beginning Nov. 9, the ATIV smart PC will be available in AT&T company-owned retail stores nationwide and online at www.wireless.att.com.

Yes, yes, yes!!!

aubreyq says:
Who's going to pay TWICE the price for HALF the storage? The 16GB 8X is going to get its ass kicked. The 8GB might sell, though.
unstoppablekem says:
The 8X is the same price as the 920...
lordofthereef says:
From the article:
"The Windows Phone 8X by HTC will be available in two models – California Blue with 16 GB of memory for $199.99 and an AT&T exclusive in California Blue or Limelight (yellow) with 8GB of memory for $99.99."
That would make the 16GB 8x (half the storgage of the 920) twice the price. The 8GB 8x (1/4 the storage of the 920) is equal in price.
Granted, I am getting this purely from this article. I cannot seem to actually load prices on ATT's site. :(
aubreyq says:
The 8GB 8X is the same price as the 920 but has 1/4 of the storage. The 16GB 8X is TWICE the price of the 920 for HALF the storage.
ymcpa says:
The article says 8X w/ 16 gb of storage for $199. The Lumia 920 with 32 gb of storage $99.
unstoppablekem says:
Any word on off contract on AT&T? Not best buy. And can it be unlocked?
unstoppablekem says:
pizzalovinhulk is probably so happy. As am I.
rwcrossman says:
One word sums this story up.... WOOT!
aln12483 says:
I don't get it, I thought the Lumia 920 already comes with a wireless charging plate?!?!?
jsnod25 says:
No its capable of, but it's an accessory...
unstoppablekem says:
It comes with wireless charging built into the phone, the 820 requires the shells. But you need a wireless charging accessory.
scottcraft says:
That's a really great deal! Picking the 920 is a no-brained at those prices!
ade333 says:
How does Nokia make any money with these prices? Honestly, is there ANY profit for them with these prices?
Mifter says:
That's a carrier subsidy you are seeing, not so much Nokia directly, it still costs $600 off contract. Its AT&T that's taking the hit.
CreepinJesus says:
No mention of the contract price, though. Probably something ridiculous like $80/mo for 24mo, so after your contract's up, you've paid close to $2000 on a plan you probably only use 20% of.
jaethos says:
That price seems about right, but the contract doesn't have any bearing on that. It's the same price with or without a contract.
jerrynomenon says:
if you go w/o contract, u have prepaid options like STraightTalk, which offers 45$ for everything unlimited
Jeebus137 says:
The contract price has no bearing on what smartphone you get. I have 6 family members on a family share plan and have unlimited talk and text and 10GB of data to share and we each pay $55/ mo.
BigReub says:
American contracts don't work that way. The price of the phone is independant of the phone you purchase.
Kormiko says:
Some people in other countries wonder why we get new phones every two years. They ask... "What's wrong with your current phone?"
What they don't realize is if we don't get a new phone every 2 years... we're basically throwing money away. I wish my monthly payments would shrink once my contract was up... or if I buy an unlocked device on my own, but it just doesn't work like that here.
I think T-Mobile and some of the smaller carriers might be different though.
ymcpa says:
ATT contracts don't have a minimum plan. They do require a data plan with smartphones. However, who buys a smartphone without a data plan? Also, the plans cost the same with a contract or without. So, where is the benefit of buying the phone?
Dipo04 says:
Do you know where i can get it off contract?
monotheist says:
Nokia gives it to AT&T at close to Normal prices, AT&T makes money out of their plans to recover the costs.
Woembah says:
It could be part of the exclusivity deal, with ATT maybe selling the device at lower margins. Because it's exclusive, ATT will gain new customers and new contracts because of the exclusivity of the 920 which makes up for the reduced margin on the phone itself.
ade333 says:
Not sure I can get on board with the idea that ATT is eating all of this. Pushing a device is always a balancing act, not to mention when a new iPhone is recently out. I don't see how ATT could take the risk without some kind of cover from Nokia.
mikewp says:
aubreyq says:
It's AT&T's risk so why not benefit from it?
lordofthereef says:
AT&T eating the cost is really the only reason I can see Nokia being on board with making this device exclusive. It's not like AT&T did a huge ad campaign to sell the device, so that motive is out of the question.
ymcpa says:
From what I understand, the Iphone has a large subsidy because Apple sells their phones to the carriers for a higher price than most other oems. So maybe even with the larger subsidy for the 920, it's still cheaper for ATT than selling an iphone. They are hoping the lower price will get more people to get 920s and they'll save money overall.
willied says:
Wow, that is a freakin' steal!
sepatown says:
You got that right. At this price, it'll be interesting to see how that 8X fares in comparison.
unstoppablekem says:
Goodbye HTC, apple, and Samsung. A cheaper phone with more storage (except the ativ) and better features. Hope they advertise a lot better than the 900.
lordofthereef says:
None of those companies (especially Apple and Samsung) are going to be going anywhere. I hope the device sells, but it's not going to beat out the iPhone or the Galaxy, likely not even if all we are counting is AT&T sales of these devices.
This is a case where I would be overjoyed to be wrong, but I doubt that I am.
thuannguy says:
I feel jealous!
walter1832 says:
Let the "dancing around the office like an idiot" begin!
walter1832 says:
My only delema now is...wait till black friday for a better deal, or guarantee a wirless charging plate. 2 more weeks till black friday is not that much longer to wait. What to do....
Curtieson says:
You can think...the plate will cost at least $30-$40 on a place like Amazon...so, the phone is only costing $60-$70... You really think it is going to drop to $1? Maybe... You could always get the phone, if it goes on sale for $1, just go and pay the $35 restocking fee, get your $100 back and then pay the $1 for the phone.
zeronoise says:
Get it 13 days before black Friday that way of there is a better deal you return it and get it again but if not then you keep it...best of both worlds
aubreyq says:
That's the first thing that came to my mind. Resist to buy on Day 1. Curtieson and Zeronoise have some good advice, there. I'm also going to check with Costco. They usually come down a bit, but then again will they also offer the charging plate? Can't wait to find out.
Long Syntax says:
Come to me Lumia 920!
bjax says:
All is forgiven ATT. All is forgiven.
snowmutt says:
Oh yes.... AT&T... everytime you tick us off, you find a way toapoligize.
What great prices. The 8X officially became uninteresting as compared to Nokia.
aubreyq says:
zephjc says:
Sorta sounds like spousal abuse
zeke009 says:
Whoa... calm down. We're still talking about AT&T here. All is not forgiven, but this is a good gesture to keep customers.
jfa1 says:
I have no problems with ATT nothing to forgive as far as I am concerned.
zeke009 says:
You must be in a good coverage area then. Lucky!
Th1ckNasty says:
I do too. Lived in Vegas, Nevada. Perfect there......and then Eugene, OR. Both places have been amazing. I would not want to use ANY carrier in a high pop and high tower place. Shit service no matter how "good".
Gken says:
Well, throw in a few commercials advertising the phone is 100 bucks and 50 bucks, pretty sure we can wrap this marketing campaign up. This thing is priced to freaking move! Good job At&t, I still hate you for making us wait so long, but love you for this annoucement. Love hate relationships are so complicated and stressful.
jagerads says:
MaulerX says:
Yes!!! And THANK YOU to all the great forum members that confirmed this price yesterday!!
JPDVM2014 says:
Why can't I upgrade early!?!
schlubadub says:
You can... Tell them I gave you permission ;)
aimuatrang says:
All definitely would be forgiven if AT&T allows Lumia 900 owners to upgrade early... Yeah I say that would be fair
220SeaChaser says:
Yeah it sucks that I can't upgrade until mid-late 2013 and I'm running a Samsung Focus.
WPenvy says:
Ah I'm out of contract in February. I have to see if I can upgrade early
BlobDude says:
The latest someone can upgrade is 20 months into their contract, so if you contract's up in Feb, you should be able to upgrade this month(and renew for two years, of course).
slsterling says:
I was told it's actually 18months so it's worth trying!
MrSkippy says:
ATT screws that up ALL The time. They once let me renew 6 months into my contract. Half the time they have no idea when your actual renewal date is. It never hurts to go online and see if you can. And if not it doesn't hurt to go to the ATT store and whine at them. They've been able to override it in the past.
JPDVM2014 says:
Hmm, I might have to swing by my local store and complain a little. Lol.
cherone21 says:
Call and ask. I did it when the Samsung Focus was released. I talked to someone about my loyalty as a customer, the fact that I have three phones in my household that use ATT and the fact that my entire family uses it. Basically they made the determination that they wanted my business and let me upgrade early.
ncxcstud says:
So, can those who pre-ordered from Best Buy (and have not had their orders cancelled like me) call up and pricematch to AT&T?
flyboy009 says:
I'm wondering the same thing, trying to decide if I should cancel now before it goes through, or call to see if they'll sweeten the deal.
Odog4ever says:
I pre-orderd on Best Buy because I wanted to guarantee a cyan 920. $50 cheaper and a "free" charge pad is enough for me suffer through annoying sell reps in a physical ATT store if need be.
So should I cancel and pre-order at Best Buy or will they price match (with charger)?
Can I get it shipped to my house if I pre order through ATT.com?
Looking for guidance here. Thanks in advance.
snakecharmr says:
I just got off the phone with Best buy. The order will not change to the lowered price automatically. What we can do is after we recieve the phone is call them back and they will credit the account the new price amount. If the free charger is not with the phone we can also show them the information on that and they will match that offer as well.
Higgs Boson says:
I can verify this. Just called my local BB and they also said that I i show them the price and they call and find it to be the case, they will match the entire deal, price drop and free accessory. So that's great news
Odog4ever says:
OK wow. Thanks guys, glad I didn't panic and cancel my order. :)
MrSkippy says:
Only problem is BestBuy frequently issues "in store credit" for that kind of stuff. They don't always like to give you your money back exactly.
I'm on hold with them right now to cancel the order. They won't let me cancel online.
Sukina says:
I couldn't cancel online, but when I go to bestbuy on my smartphone, was able to cancel.
zeke009 says:
Is Best Buy offering the wireless charger or is that an AT&T exclusive?
lordofthereef says:
They will price match so long as a local competitor has it in stock. You can likely even go in once you have the phone and ask for store credit for the difference. The store won't be overjoyed to do it since it's a loss at that specific location without any sort of sale, but it is within their power to do it for you.
lubbalots says:
Too good to be true. Makes anybody wanna switch carriers. Lucky those on ATT. Oh well, some guys have all the fun, some guys have all the pain, some guys do nothing but complain.
Chris Coyle says:
Can you pre order at the store or just online?
MrVol84 says:
gimme two of those bad boys!
Bone Cell says:
I wonder if we can preorder in stores? I don't want to miss the free charging pad!
KumarNix says:
$99 ?? Whoaaa, if you got money you can donate some 920's . LOL
lordofthereef says:
I don't follow your logic. If you got money you can donate just about anything...
hysonmb says:
Finally, an official announcement! I'll be up bright and early F5ing until I can get my pre-order nailed down :D
Hammered Pizza says:
I think I can accurately summarise the general consensus among Windows Phone fans here: "'Bout damn time!".
Miistercoool says:
If only my upgrade was due!! that price is insanely low O.O
hcoreyh says:
This is why it's an exclusive. In Australia it's only $5 a month for 24 months. The phone price is added to your monthly contract. They really are selling this thing cheaply thanks to exclusives.
nikhilr51 says:
yeeeah, on a $60 a month contract working out to a minimum of $1560 over 2 years.
$65 a month is pretty steep. More than what i paid for my iphone 4 for the past 2 years (then again that was with 3, this is with telstra.....)
lordofthereef says:
People need to understand that this is simply the price of admission here in the states. AT&T and Verizon have nationwide coverage. A nation that is far larger (in terms of coverage map) than any of the nations people are mentioning. Keeping that infrastructure going has huge costs. Even pay as you go isn't $5 a month here as someone suggested, and with pay as you go you often times, depending on the carrier, have spotty coverage, reduced data rates, etc. etc. And I haven't even mentioned LTE. Everyone is chomping at the bit to get on LTE, yet they are complaining at the costs. It's the cost of moving forward, unfortunately. Can't have your cake and eat it too, as they say.
GeekoBuntu says:
In Finland (or Sweden, or similar) I can pay USD 18 a month for unlimited HSDPA-speed data with 1000 mins of talk time and unrestricted network sharing on a nation-wide carrier whose coverage and network quality far exceeds that of ATT&T or Verizon. The latter have only limited rural coverage and even in urban areas signal quality varies.
It may not be the worst situation globally, but it isn't particularly good either. The contracts are really, really expensive for what one gets.
ymcpa says:
I'm just curious. Does the governement subsidize the construction of the network? If so, that could explain the cheap price. You pay less for the plan but pay way more in the form of income taxes, VAT taxes, sales taxes, etc.
lordofthereef says:
Again, you are speaking of Finland. Compare the size of Finland to the size of the US. I am not saying this ti be rude. I am saying it because the land mass is just THAT big. On your plan, can you roam outside of Finland? Say you to the UK. Or Hungary. Or any other European country. Is there an extra fee? In the US one can go anywhere within her 50 states and Puerto Rico and not pay roaming charges. The point is, simply because of land mass, comparisons to tiny European countries don't work.
eurovisionacts says:
No commitment- $450.
Straight Talk - $45 a month + Tax
Montpbm says:
Wow they are going to sale like hotcakes! What about T-Mobile I needs answers now?!! Lol! Come on T-Mobile!!!!!!
Cellus13 says:
The lumia 920 is only exclusive to at&t for 6 months. So no one really know how other carriers will price during that time.
revamp says:
On Nokia's website for the Lumia 810, they have it priced at 99.99 for people on the Value plan and 149.99 for people on the regular plan. I hope this is wrong because if its not thats the most rediculous price not matching of carriers I've ever seen.
Montpbm says:
JamesDax3 says:
Also keep in mind that those prices are after a $50 mail in rebate.
Montpbm says:
Oh ok cool thanks!
jaysean07 says:
Yeah ,my at&t buddy was right, he said windows 8 phone coming at 9. wohooooooooo
I'm so excited to get lumia 920 for myself.:)
UVSoaked says:
Hopefully this is the date where Rogers gets more 920's out, too. Still no phones (920) in London, Ontario. :(
Chris Coyle says:
Going to trade my HTC Titan in as I have a line due an upgrade.
erichon99 says:
wow, this is a gamechanger price....
NickA says:
I'm a Verizon customer, but this may make me switch. I have 14 days to try it out, and it I don't have any issues with their network then I'm switching.
danclyons says:
Thank God! Time to lose my iPhone I've been using for the past 2 months waiting for this. Can't wait to go back to WP!
rareohs says:
Wow. I've seriously been on the fence between the 920 and the 8X, especially with the Nokia's camera disappointments... But damn, this pretty much seals the deal for me.
Nokia get that camera fix out ASAP!!!
PhilR8 says:
Same here. Sorry HTC, I was strongly leaning towards the tennis ball yellow 8X. Probably not now, though.
lordofthereef says:
You have Nokia camera dissappointments?
Cristoby says:
I just reinforced my pocket seams for the 920.
ArtForm says:
This made me laugh out loud. They say all comedy has an element of truth. LOL
aubreyq says:
dharmababa says:
Not to mention the extra $100 you'll have in there!
blessthejon says:
$99 is freaking cheap.
LCARS says:
3 sold here!
dmcneil330 says:
Finally! Was that so hard AT&T? I'm going to be pre-ordering this at midnight!
Ryan.o says:
Your move, Verizon.
I'm waiting!!!
myjota says:
myjota says:
Chrismas gift - lumia 920
anujtwp says:
And suddenly it all looks great for Nokia! So they had this strategy of aggressive pricing and solid marketing when collabrating with single carrier and have it exclusive. Lumia 920 FTW!
lordofthereef says:
Everything about this launch screams L900 launch, almost down to a T. I am not sure what on earth took this long to announce (that's above my pay grade), but I feel like the worst mistake they made was waiting this long.
ThePKReddy says:
For some reason I read that as gay parade. Didn't make sense so I re read it.
GoodThings2Life says:
HOLY CRAP!!! I apologize to AT&T for all my venom and hatred over the past month. :D
Higgs Boson says:
Totally calling best buy to demand they price match and throw in a wireless charger or I'm OUT!! Lol...
myjota says:
Yes its heavy but best camera best screen best stabilization best office phone best for my fingers for winter
Cellus13 says:
At&t just murdered the 8x. Jeez comparing the pricing and advantages of these two consumers will definitely go with the Lumia 920. One advantage that the 8x has is that it's on other carriers to I guess it's good.
bjax says:
This is a good move on Nokia and Att's part. It gets the phone on peoples hands AND it effectively kickstarts the wireless charging movement. Brilliant. Simply brilliant.
aimuatrang says:
Would be amazing if we get to see people waiting on long line to buy Lumia 920
db4williams says:
Holy sh*tballs! I'm very jealous cause I know Verizon will never be that generous at launch with their WP8 devises. I mean $149 before rebate (and having to wait for months to get your $50 gift card) for the very midrange Nokia 822? Come on. Nothing like fleecing your customers huh Verizon?
nwildcat says:
Order it online and Verizon will give you the rebate instantly, no need to wait for the rebate. As for paying the same to get a 822 and a 920, well...
hardcoreplur says:
2 day window? I'm not complaining, but this is unlike AT&T.
dlrohm says:
Any word on price off contract?
asuprice says:
Usually you see $99 on contract phones go for $449.99
Xsever says:
I got the 920 from Rogers last Tuesday. I want a free wireless pad too!!!
ExcaliburII says:
might want to talk to your lady friend bout the wireless pads:) I believe these ones are the plates:)
mjfadaway says:
Wow! Should I call Best Buy and cancel? And why is the 8X so much more than the 920?
aubreyq says:
"Should I call Best Buy and cancel?"
Is the Pope Catholic? Call BB and cancel that sh*t!!
Odog4ever says:
Apparently you can call BB AFTER you receive your phone and they will credit you the difference and hook you up with the charge plate.
lippidp says:
Americans don't use the word "fetch" unless talking to a dog. Are you a closet Brit? (don't get pissed - I'm just being a dick, or "wanker" as you might say...)
Jojogill says:
Even I understood what you meant when you said "fetch". If I didn't, context clues would've helped me out lol.
Ticomfreak says:
I'm American and I use "fetch"
thekrayze says:
i have a dilemma now. I want the Ativ S, but i dont see it announced for ATT yet. I was never opposed to the 920, but this is very tempting now. i cant upgrade until christmas, so the chances of a wireless charging pad is very slim for me, but the $99 price tag is very very very good. i may have to abandon my samsung dreams for this beauty. in the end, i will win no matter what phone i get.
HTC looks good, but the 4.3" screen throws it off for me.
HighDefEdition says:
I'm salivating over the ATIV S too. I'm hoping T-Mobile gets it in December. But at&t just fired the first shot. Great deal on the 920.
ade333 says:
Lippidp, sorry "fetch" as used here is very common in the US.
laserfloyd says:
Fetch is used pretty often here. Particularly in this part of the country (Georgia). :)
Chemicals React says:
Are you really that clueless about the world?
ThePKReddy says:
Fetch is used quite a bit in the south :)
mpelti says:
Well, this changes things. Still apprehensive about WP8, but $99 is something I'd take a chance on.
Worst case scenario: I hate it, buy a nexus 4, sell the lumia (probably for $100+), and get a free Qi charger out of it.
Relief says:
You really have no clue of prices. The 920 is 600 dollars off-contract. That means you should be able to get atleast 400 dollars for that phone ;)
mpelti says:
$400 is $100+
Jojogill says:
WP8 rocks from what I can see in the videos and I'm sure when people get to play with it at AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile stores, they'll be surprised at how personal these devices can be.
cdbstl76 says:
What makes you apprehensive? Perhaps some of us could help address any question you have here or in the forums.
mpelti says:
The fact that after years on android, I still get frustrated by the number of apps that are iphone-only, or have more features on ios than android, or only come out on android after the hype is gone on iphone. Windows phone will be worse.
The lack of a notification center is annoying. The lack of video out is annoying. The lack of VPN is annoying.
Mostly it's just a matter of playing with it in store, to hopefully answer some smaller questions, but their are big questions with the wrong answer, or that will take months to answer.
lgorbena says:
I am totally with you! I just ordered an iPhone on my upgrade.... But I am on the phone cancelling that noise. $299 vs $99, that is a NO BRAINER! And, like you, if I end up not liking WP8, or the size of this BEAST, I will just go a head and get a Nexus 4.
Way to go AT&T and sway the tide!
Frek says:
I was on the fence and was leaning towards the 8X, but the 920 is $100 cheaper. Now it's going to be hard to decide.
AlexanderJJJ says:
Any off-contract price announcements?
erichon99 says:
does anyone know again what Lumia 920 colors are available on AT&T?
winger46146#WP says:
Available in red, white, black, yellow and cyan, the Lumia 920 is available for pre-order beginning Nov. 7 at www.att.com/lumia920 for $99.99 with a two-year agreement.
Jojogill says:
NO FREAKING WAY! AT&T is getting really aggresive with this pricing.
tigermcm says:
am I the only one that feels bad for HTC?
ade333 says:
I like HTC and appreciate their effort to bring WP7 & 8 to people. They are getting beat up all over the place so this certainly hurts, but I don't know if I feel bad for them. Nokia is clearly pushing hard to get back on top and I have major respect for that initiative. The 8x has a very, very appealing design and that alone stands up to Nokia's exclusive apps and wireless charging. I don't think they come out the winner, but they'll do ok. Plus, some ppl will always buy the most expensive option because they believe it means it's better
lordofthereef says:
I don't feel bad. The best they could do is tell us that their phone is a handful of pennies lighter than the 920. Meanwhile the 920 packs in the features and is $99 for FOURE TIMES the storage as the $99 8x.
That said, the 8x is on every carrier (in the states) that is taking on Windows Phone. They may enjoy better sales than Nokia on that merit alone. It IS the better phone (at launch) on Verizon and of course TMO.
drunken scholar says:
"While supplies last"
Dammit. There definitely won't be any with charging plates left by the time I upgrade in January.
addicusbrown says:
Does this mean AT&T is no longer married to Apple and the Iphone?
Johnny Tremaine says:
No, they still are.
According to AT&T's own financial disclosures to Wall Street just recently, 3/4 of all smartphones sold on that carrier are iPhones. (Similar numbers at Verizon, but more like 2/3 iPhone sales, final third Androids)
The final 1/4 is dominated currently by Samsung's Android devices, and Windows Phone currently shares a tiny sliver of that last quarter.

JamesDax3 says:
And us suckers on T-Mobile will be paying $99 AFTER at $50 MIR for the L810.
procen says:
I'm with you, and thinking to get the 920 at ATT because I have an account also and get my upgrade.
scbMobile says:
I wonder will the Microsoft store have them for the same price also with the charger. I have a gift card or 2 that can make this almost free!!!
dharmababa says:
I'm wondering this as well. On the Windows weekly podcast, Mary Jo Foley said that Microsoft Stores will stock all colors so I'm holding out a *bit* of hope for a gray one :)
Dre325 says:
I'd be willing to bet that MSFT stores sell for the same price with the same free charging pad. They'd be stupid not to. I want a gray one too :-)
Jonah P says:
Do you know if these are actual Windows stores or the online? I'm really hoping it is online because I don't have one near me.
chriscookz says:
If anyone takes the last black charger from my local store before I do I will NOT BE FRIENDS WITH THEM!
ThePKReddy says:
Will you be friends with me? I have no interest in the last black charger from your local store. Just the first one.
nwildcat says:
Shocked at the price. Wonder if this is what AT&T used to convince Nokia to go with an exclusive and hold off on the 922 on Verizon even longer than initial leaks suggested. Still not a good idea though, this will hurt inroads on Verizon I'd think, 822 sounded like a good deal but not if the 822 costs the same as the 920. I do think its a great overall plan by Nokia to grab new smartphone users who base their decisions mostly on price.
And HTC (or is it AT&T) - $100 for a 8G upgrade? That is egregious, worse than Apple. I think an 8G microSD is costing less than $10 these days. I'd pass on principle.
firewall2302 says:
Just as a note - I noticed the time index on the video screenshot on the coming soon page is 9:20.
Since 20-9=11 I wonder if they were trying to send us a message all along. Maybe it's not JUST a reference to the 920 in Lumia 920....
Probably just a coincidence that they will launch on 11/9 though. :)
abailey535 says:
Goodbye Iphone 4, Hello Lumia 920........
abe3211 says:
Wow so how much is the tmo x8 ? $150 after rebate? kinda weak compared to ATT and Big Red no?
dhafiz says:
Anyone hear anything about the off-contract price? Any scoop on that from your sources, Daniel?
VinomX says:
AT&T's website says $450 off-contract.
T-rom09 says:
So the Lumia 920 weighs 185g and I just figured out my iphone 4 with case weighs 182. All of those "too heavy" comments about the 920=fail.
nwildcat says:
Exactly. I don't know a single iPhone user, and I know a ton of them, who doesn't carry their phone in a case. Even the lightest cases weigh a few ounces and that puts the weight at or above the 920. The weight argument was always ridiculous to me for just this reason.
aimuatrang says:
Yeah, what is the point of Iphone being so thin if everyone has to use a case on it?
NeoJames says:
When does At&t ususally start to pre-order? mid-night ET? or Later?
I can't wati!!!
I believe it will be sold out every quickly!!!
Adiliyo says:
Nokias us Facebook page said 12am EST, so 9pm PST. I can't wait!
Now to decide, white or cyan...
monigal2 says:
Woow! I might get that 920..
Sobr0801 says:
I can either upgrade in march on Verizon or switch to ATT in July. Decisions ahead.
laserfloyd says:
Ok, ATT, I forgive you. That's a sweet, sweet deal. I'll be picking mine up this week thank you very much. :)
FUS3360 says:
Hell yes.. preordering for sure!!!!!!!!!! This may be what nokia needs.
monigal2 says:
That's just amazing. I pray Nokia has much success..
dshort2007 says:
Just spoke with Best Buy support as I was one of those who "pre-ordered" the phone when it was up there...they said that they are not going to match the $99 price for the Lumia 920 from AT&T...that's upsetting.
Rodhouse says:
We're you able to cancel your order or are you keeping it? The website says it can't cancel once order is in process.
snakecharmr says:
I just spoke with them and they will price match after you recieve the phone. They can not do any price matching until you recieve it. If you are not satisified at that point you can return it for a full refund.
chaosavatar123 says:
Thanks for the info. I was thinking of going for Best Buy because I can use some of my Best Buy rewards, but with them not matching price and messing up pre-orders the will not be getting my money. ATT here I come!
snakecharmr says:
They don't have pricing yet on the phone. But they said if ATT just annouced it is 99 then their price will be 99. Existing preorders order at 149.99 won't be changed. They do't go back and change pricing on orders. We have to call and tell them of the change once it is up on their site or we recieve our phone.
jmshub says:
Finally! I will be picking one of these up at my local AT&T store this Friday!
Nelman says:
I just called 611 and spoke with a rep who looked it up for me. He said November 11th. I think they traditionally launch new phones on Sundays.
chaosavatar123 says:
I called yesterday night and I didn't get any info from the rep I talked to. Should I call later today and ask?
dameon_03 says:
will be buying one of these as soon as possible. i will try to get one this weekend while i am visiting my folks in md. if not, ill get one when i get back home. hope i can snag a charger pad as well
zaidthunder1 says:
Insane. Wish it was like that in other countries.
drunken scholar says:
Yeah, but on the flip side, other countries don't bend you over with calling/data plans. We may pay less up front in the US, but we're throroughly frakked over in the long haul.
chaosavatar123 says:
drunken scholar is right
LCarnegie11 says:
Not a fan of Nokia, but HTC comin out later and only offering CalI Blue and Limelight Yellow is sort of a turn off.. Smh such bad news for people whos been waiting so long for good news!.. At&t HAS to do better..
man1up says:
My friend loved the look of 8x. But Im sure she will be just fine with a red 920. Im grabbing Cyan. Wonder if all colors will be stocked...
ebradley says:
About time.
jake69 says:
Oh look....it just happened I'm off this Friday....what a coincidence. ;-)
Bushybro says:
Its hilarious, there are guys over on Engadget trying to talk folks out of getting a WP device. I mean they are putting some serious troll energy into it. WP must be doing something right for them to care that much.
Bernard Wei says:
Wow! We never get these crazy deals in Canada. Envy...
MikadoWu says:
OK ATT Here I Come.... Please do not let me down.
I need 2 Cyan, 1 Red, 1 Yeloow and 1 Black.......... 920 Baby....
Stadifer says:
That might actually be the total stock for any one store!
aimuatrang says:
If you get that many at one time, negotiate. Might get better deal... Just saying
daknarr says:
I just don't want people to think that the price suggests a compromise in quality. People expect to pay more for better products, and despite only $99 for the 920, it IS one of the best devices on the market if not THE best (HTC 8X makes a strong argument for that title).
pizzalovinhulk says:
Gittles says:
Question: Can I pay the early penalty on the contract I signed in April for the Lumia 900, and then sign up for a new contract to pay the $100 price?
Jazmac says:
lol. Probably. lol
Shobiz says:
I want to know this as well.
gtbuzz says:
Nope. I tried to do the same thing in April for my L900 when I had 6 mos left on my contract for my Focus. The only way to get out of the contract (and paying the ETF) is to close your account (either by just closing it or moving your number to another carrier). Kind of silly if you ask me, but when has AT&T ever done stuff that made sense?
jonesyvoor says:
Can't you jsut get a new 2nd line at the $99 price and then cancel your current line in a day or two and port your number over to the new phone at that time? I don't see how they can force you to keep both lines at that point.
pizzalovinhulk says:
Everybody see that DALLAS ANNOUNCED :D
haganistic says:
There are so many Dallas people on here! I may organize a happy hour on friday in the uptown area for people who want to come with their fancy new nokia 920s.
But seriously, I feel like Dallas is way over-represented on this fan site!
daknarr says:
Wait, really? Does Fort Worth count? Lol!
haganistic says:
It does in my books! I'm putting together a happy hour on friday for anyone that wants to come and show off their new nokia 920. I also realized that ATT has their headquarters here and I saw a huge NOKIA buidling in Irving,... gonna just send an invite to those employees too - probably won't get anyone - but we'll see!
Look out for the Dallas Nokia 920 Happy Hour thread!
ThePKReddy says:
Where is this thread? I moved to Addison from Cali 2 months ago... Im down for HH
Panu16 says:
Will yellow and blue be available in store? Previous report said that those colors were online only.
tibbyx says:
I have an early upgrade, what do you guys think the price will be?
dameon_03 says:
upon further thinking, man these are some nice deals on these phones considering what you are getting and the specs on both phones for att users. I wonder what the pricepoint for the Ativ is going to be?
LaNiQuE says:
Yall can stop crying on here now well for today anyways
monigal2 says:
Jojogill, let me get that HTC 8x from u, ask them for a red one, lol!
Jazmac says:
99?? Not bad. I wonder what Amazon is going to do. Worth waiting a couple months to find out
Stadifer says:
$199 for the HTC 8X??? That just blew my mind! That price point is ridiculous for a phone that is largely inferior in almost every way vs. the Lumia 920.
I guess the HTC 8X is the "Hero" phone for Windows Phone.
arzoo says:
My family has two Samsung Focus's, one Focus 2, and 1 HTC Titan. All were purchased at separate times and we paid a penny for each. I guarantee AT&T or Amazon will be selling the 920 for a penny on Black Friday or some time before the Christmas holiday. That being said - I can't want and will be pre-ordering tomorrow!
Stadifer says:
I'll be going to the local AT&T store... I was on the AT&T Wireless site to see if it would actually be delivered on 11/9 and they said it ships in 2-3 days and if that is ground it would be darn near a week to week and a half before I got the bugger.
cdbstl76 says:
Guarantee?! Wow.
Ebaneeezor says:
My store in Orlando fl said they would take the preorder now, but the phone would be shipped to my home. I'm picking it up in store Friday.
esarz says:
I wonder if we really will be able to order this at midnight
guillams says:
im freaking jealous!
Here in Dominican Republicc we have to wait one year and a half for get one on our company for already USD$200 with higher month contract! EBay, is our only salvation!
apoelin says:
Hey Daniel,
There was a rumor some time ago, that the Cyan and Yellow will only be available online. Do you have any info about that? I am just trying to figure out what is the fastest way to get a Cyan Lumia 920. It seems pre-ordering on Nov 7, will not get the device delivered by Nov 9.
last boy scout 151 says:
Any word on Microsoft Stores availability? Will they have all of the colors and the same deal on Friday as well? Thanks!
pike1783 says:
The AT&T store rep I talked today said Cyan and Yellow would have to be ordered online. Makes me lean more towards black since I can't judge the cyan color/look without using the old Lumia for reference.
DEV55 says:
Can't stick with NOK as an investor anymore!
Cramming more hardware than both Iphone and GS3 and yet not able to sell as many. Ultimately giving freebies!
Just bad business for Nokia!

Prior's Khyber Splitboard - A directional powder splitboard from Prior Snowboards on Vimeo.
Board comes with tip/tail clips and Chinese hooks. All other splitboard hardware is available on our accessories page.
As our best selling splitboard for many years running, the Khyber Splitboard is back and in top shape. It has a wide nose, generous sidecut, ample taper, and hybrid rocker that together provide excellent float and manoeuvrability in powder conditions as well as minimizing back leg burn in powder. The Khyber makes riding tight trees and critical sections easier than you've ever dreamed possible.
The Khyber Splitboard is the ideal board for those stepping in to the backcountry in search of soft snow in the trees or tight terrain.
The Khyber is named after an off-piste area on Whistler Mountain that is legendary for its treed powder stashes. There is a great view of the Khyber zone from the Prior factory.
XTC Carbon Construction is available as an upgrade to all Prior splitboards and saves an average of 500 grams (1lb 1oz) off a Prior splitboard pressed with our standard quadraxial fiberglass.
Profile: Hybrid rocker profile provides floatation and predictability in powder and silky smooth transitions from edge-to-edge with excellent edge control. 2-4 mm of traditional camber underfoot provides energy from turn-to-turn.
Rider Type: Self propelled backcountry snowboarders who want a quick-turning ride that maximizes their powder experience.
Best For: Powder of all kinds - from tight trees to chutes, pillow lines and open bowls.
Note: Weight includes tip/tail clips and chinese hooks.
Available in traditional Quadglass Construction or Prior's new XTC Carbon Construction.
XTC Carbon Construction
Prior's new, high-performance XTC Carbon Construction for winter 2011/12 brings splitboard technology to the next level. XTC Carbon Construction is available as an upgrade to all Prior splitboards and saves an average of 600 grams (1lb 5oz) off a Prior splitboard. Weight reduction continues to be a key to backcountry riding as less weight means more vertical with less physical exertion. Ensuring that there is no decrease in performance with weight savings is often thought of as the Holy Grail for backcountry gear manufacturers and Prior's XTC Carbon Construction takes a big leap towards that spiritual cup. In layman's terms XTC Carbon Construction uses the same vertically laminated maple and aspen woodcores combined with UHMW sidewalls and bases and nylon topsheets as in their traditional construction but replaces the fibreglass weave with Prior's newly developed XTC carbon material.
Quadglass Construction
Prior Snowboards' quadraxial glass/carbon composite (quad glass) is a stitched fabric with fibers running in four directions (+30, -30, 0 and +90 degrees). It also contains two 6cm-wide, 10-count carbon strips running lengthwise 4cm from the center of the board. The quadglass material is layered on each side of a vertically laminated maple and aspen woodcores combined with UHMW sidewalls and bases and nylon topsheets. The fiberglass/carbon configuration of quadglass creates a responsive, long lasting ride with excellent torsional stability. The additional directional weave creates enhanced torsional stiffness in comparison to the triaxial fibreglass construction.
Olga Cuttell Olga was born in Ufa Russia (Bashkortostan), just west of the Ural Mountains, about two decades before the fall of communism. She moved to Western Canada in 2005. Surrounded by the inspirational landscapes of BC, Olga began her journey into artistic expression. Olga is an untrained artist who had been sketching and painting recreationally her whole young life. Her work attempts to present it as a given that there is no greater source of positive inspiration than nature; be it lonely, majestic, playful or powerful. Season 2012/13 represents the third year that Olga has worked with Prior. For a deeper look into her work visit her website www.oladesign.net. |
Olivier Roy Olivier moved from Montreal to Whistler in 1992 after getting a degree in fine art. Since then he has been pursuing the dual life of professional snowboarder and artist. In recent years Olivier has been focusing on larger canvases, doing live painting events and also painting large-scale murals in Montreal with the Mu organization. In his personal work, he is inspired by the dramatic West Coasts scenery and active lifestyle he leads. Olivier enjoys exploring different subject matters and painting techniques with every new piece. He has been part of numerous galleries and group shows including his first solo exhibit in 2009 at Le Centre in Vancouver and, in 2011, and a major group show with the En Masse collective at the Montreal Museum of Fine Art. Currently, he spends his time between Montreal and Whistler working as a snowboard coach, freelance artist/graphic designer, muralist and set painter on major circus, theatre and motion picture productions. Oli's Screaming Trees graphic represents his the third topsheet he has contributed to the Prior line. For a more detailed look into Alano's work please view his website http://www.olivierroy.ca/ |
Clarence Mills A Haida native from Skidegate in the Queen Charlotte Islands, Clarence Mills is an established Haida artist known throughout the world. His works sell in museums, galleries and native art shops throughout Europe and North America. He creates glass totems, engraved silver and gold jewelry, cedar and glass bowls, doors and limited edition prints, but Mills' claim to fame rests in his prowess as a carver. He was a featured artist at Expo 86 in Vancouver and Expo 88 in Brisbane, Australia where he carved a six meter totem pole that graced the entrance outside the Canadian Pavilion. In 1997, he was commissioned to carve a 4 meter high cedar totem for a native exhibit at the Louvre Museum in Paris. Mills has been given a gift from his ancestors. He endows his creations with a powerful energy, smooth flowing style and images that speak through his symbolic Haida figures. He strives for one achievement – to begin a process for many people who have never understood their connection to the spirits of the land and all its creatures. The Haida Eagle Topsheet is the most popular graphic ever used in the Prior line and this current version of it is the 4th year that it has been in the line in various forms. |
Sarita Mielke As a graphic designer Sarita chooses to focus on the more artistic side of things by incorporating print making and illustration within her digital work whenever possible. Using her hands, the tools of the craft and her whimsical imagination, she conveys different ideas to the outside world, giving her a great sense of purpose and enjoyment. Graduating with a Degree in Graphic Design from Vancouver Island University, professionally Sarita has concentrated her talents in the freelance graphic design field for the last four years. She finds herself working for companies based in the outdoor realm, doing anything from logo work to snowboard and ski graphics. Her time away from the drawing table is spent reaping inspiration form the great outdoors. If you can't find her ensconced in her home studio blasting dub step and indie, you will find her way up on a coastal mountain path or on some sort of board in search of that unequivocal perfect ride. Winter 2012/13 marks Sarita's first season contributing to the Prior line. For more info on Sarita's work please check out her website http://www.saritamielke.com/ |
Mat Miller Freelance illustrator and designer from the UK working in the realms of vector illustration, photo montage/manipulation and mixed media. His work is influenced by contemporary graffiti and lowbrow art along with many things from the natural world. Mat defines his work as mixed media since he uses a great variety of techniques to bring the final image together. These include sketches both in graphite and ink, watercolour studies, photographic elements, digital painting and vector artwork. Subject matter covers nature quite heavily, whilst adding surreal, off-beat and fluid elements. He enjoys using vibrant colour palettes but also works in softer tones as well. Mat has always wanted to be an 'artist' of some description ever since he discovered he was fairly good at drawing at a young age. After attending The University of Huddersfield studying Creative Imaging he's now very focussed on making a living from doing what he loves and enjoys! Mat was featured in Digital Arts Magazine as one of the 'Best young UK Illustrators 2009' With a relatively young career in the creative industries, Mat's aim is to keep on working with new people on highly creative projects whilst having fun along the way. |

EDMONTON - Nine schools in Edmonton are ranked among the 20 fastest-improving elementary schools in Alberta by an annual school report card from the Fraser Institute.
The Report Card on Alberta's Elementary Schools 2013 was released Saturday and examined 659 public, private, separate, charter and francophone elementary schools.
Nine schools on its list of Alberta's 20 fastest-improving schools are located in Edmonton. They include nine public schools — Bannerman, Pollard Meadows, Westglen, Virginia Park, Grandview Heights, McLeod, Meyokumin and Millwoods Christian — and one Catholic school, St. Lucy elementary.
A total of 42 schools across the province showed significant improvements to academic performance over the past five years, according to a news release from the Fraser Institute, a politically conservative Vancouver-based think-tank.
At 13 of the fastest-improving schools, parental income is below average, the news release says. Students learning English as a second language make up more than 40 per cent of the enrolment at seven of those 20 schools. That shows all schools are capable of improving regardless of challenges students and their families face, the release says.
The rankings, designed to let parents compare schools, have been controversial, particularly among educators who argue the rankings don't fairly evaluate what happens in elementary schools.
The report card examines provincial achievement test (PAT) results, including gender gaps on PAT test scores in English and math, and includes information on socio-economic factors and enrolment numbers.

Oberlin's Willis Gardner becomes popular for resembling Yankee great Babe Ruth
OBERLIN — Growing up in Penfield, Willis "Buster" Gardner never expected that he'd end up meeting numerous baseball legends and icons, while being flown all over the country to make appearances at stadiums spanning from little leagues to the majors, not because of his skill on the baseball diamond, but because of the way he looks.
"I would ask my dad, 'Can I go play ball,' and he would tell me, 'When the chores are done.' By the time the chores were done, it was dark," Gardner said. "I've always had to work hard. Ever since I was five years old, I've worked hard."
After he and his wife, Cecile, started their own family, his children began to notice something about their father.
In the family's home, just outside of Oberlin, the Gardners had a picture of Babe Ruth hanging on the wall.
"The kids would always say, 'Dad, this is you,'" Gardner said. "I would say, 'Nah, that's not me,' but the resemblance was uncanny."
While Gardner knew he looked like Babe Ruth, he really didn't think much of it, until he went to the filming of "Babe Ruth" in Cleveland. Gardner was given cast as an extra in the film.
The following year, a friend convinced Gardner to take a trip to Cooperstown N.Y., the home of the Baseball Hall of Fame. After that trip, he knew he and his children weren't the only ones who saw the resemblance.
"It just happened to be induction weekend at the hall of fame. When we walked in, the people said, 'The Babe is back!'"
Gardner talked with some people during the trip that told him he had to take advantage of his looks. A woman in Cooperstown made a replica of Babe Ruth's uniform for Gardner. Continued...
Suddenly, at age 53, Gardner became one of the world's best know Babe Ruth look-alikes. Coincidently, Ruth passed away at that very age from pneumonia after a battle with cancer.
The Babe Ruth League, a youth baseball organization similar to Little League Baseball, began having Gardner make appearances all over the country at its games. He also became a staple at the induction ceremonies at the Baseball Hall of Fame, an event he hasn't missed in twenty years.
"My wife and I have been all over the United States because of it," Gardner said. "I've been the grand marshal at event all over for the Babe Ruth League."
At the events, Gardner usually is just asked to walk around and meet people in his uniform and throw out the first pitch before games.
Gardner received recognition for his resemblance from someone very special to Babe Ruth during a chance encounter.
One day, while walking down a street in Cooperstown, a woman pointed at him, walked over to him, and said, "You're the grandfather I never got the chance to meet." The woman was Linda Ruth-Tosetti, Babe Ruth's granddaughter.
"It was awesome to meet her," Gardner said. "When she said that, it gave me chills."
"We met her on the street. She didn't know us, and we didn't know her," Cecile Gardner. "They then went and had their picture taken together at a studio in Cooperstown."
For years Gardner and his wife would make 15 to 20 appearances a year all over the country. He also makes local appearances in places like Oberlin, and at the Woolly Bear Festival in Vermilion.
In 1998 Gardner was asked to make an appearance at the opening of Bank One Ballpark, now named Chase Field, which is the home of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Continued...
He's also met numerous legends from the game of baseball such as Pete Rose, Yogi Berra, Phil Rizzuto, George Steinbrenner, Whitey Ford, Don Larson, Bob Feller, and Joe Torre, to name a few. He's also met Billy Crystal and Rudy Gulliani, all because of the way he looks.
"It's been an amazing ride," Gardner said.
Over the past few years, due to getting older, Gardner hasn't been doing as many appearances. But the 75-year-old still was more than willing to board a private jet and fly to Miller Park in Milwaukee earlier this year when asked to make an appearance before a Brewers game.
A couple weeks ago, the Gardners traveled to New York City, to take part in a Babe Ruth look-alike contest at Gallagher's Steakhouse in Manhattan. Gardner took first place in the contest.
One of his favorite moments over the past 20 years was when Tosetti called him and asked him to come to Cooperstown because the Hall of Fame had renovated the room dedicated to her grandfather.
Gardner and Tosetti were standing in the refurbished room when a man turned around and asked Gardner, "What the hell are you doing here?"
"I just wanted to see what they did with my room," Gardner replied.
The man turned white, muttered an expletive, and hurried out of the room.
"That's the honest-to-God's truth," Gardner said with a wide smile. "It was so funny."

Rede von Außenministerin Ursula Plassnik zur Streumunitionskonferenz in Wien (nur in Englisch)
Vienna Conference on Cluster Munitions
Civil Society Forum
Statement by Ursula Plassnik
Austrian Minister for European and International Affairs
Vienna, 4 December 2007
Dear Mrs. Majlath,
Ladies and Gentleman!
Two weeks ago a hailstorm in southern Lebanon triggered the explosion of several cluster munitions left from last year's conflict. Fortunately, nobody was harmed by these events, but they made clear once more how dangerous this weapon is, how long it stays part of our environment and how urgent it is to work on its ban.
We have come together here in Vienna and we are working around the world, so that children can play in their natural environment and farmers can work their fields without being afraid of becoming victims of these terrible weapons.
In my speech to the United Nations General Assembly this fall, I said that I sometimes wonder why disarmament and arms control has managed to slip down from the top of the global agenda. Austria has always been up front with arms control and disarmament efforts. Combating particularly terrible weapons - including cluster munitions - is part of our deep conviction that human security is at the centre of our foreign policy efforts.
As a successful role model, the Ottawa-Convention is going to serve all of us as a source of inspiration, a proof that you can make a difference.
New partnerships, new forms of partnerships: I think it is very important that civil society and governments join forces on important international issues. There is a new type of networking, and we should use it, we should become partners. International policy has long stopped being done merely by diplomats and foreign ministers. Each and everyone participates. NGOs play an increasing role. It is not always possible to join forces of each and every issue - but where we can, we should not avoid making the effort.
This is why I am happy to welcome you to Vienna, to this conference. You have come with difference backgrounds and different experiences, with different contributions to make, but we all share a common commitment to achieve a ban of cluster munitions.
We have already achieved a lot in 2007: We started with a handful of countries. 127 countries will be represented at tomorrow's conference and I think that in itself is a massive show of interest. We know that we have not been able to achieve everything yet, but the Vienna Conference will be a part of this mobilizing effort, this positive energy that will continue on the international level.
In parallel to the international level, we have also worked on the national level: Legal proceedings are on the way and we should be able to adopt in the Austrian parliament a ban on cluster munitions as of the day after tomorrow. The law prohibits the development, production, supply, sale, procurement, import, export, transit, use and possession of cluster munitions.
And in our law there are
- no exceptions for sensor-fused submunitions,
- no exceptions based on self-destruct mechanisms,
- no exceptions based on failure rates,
- no exceptions for soldiers participating in joint operations.
So the new Austrian law demonstrates clearly that for us a ban on cluster munitions means just that: No more cluster munitions! I hope that this will become a standard setter.
This morning in a press conference with the minister of defence and the President of the Austrian parliament I was asked by journalists: "What about those who do not yet participate? When will they come along?" I'm not a prophet; I'm just somebody who is going to walk on her two feet and does one step after the other. I think the important part is to raise awareness: about the nature of these weapons, about the lack of necessity of actually having such weapons.
This will lead us to a dialogue, a discussion that makes clear also to those responsible in governments that the possible military use as opposed to the potential damage to whole societies is marginal or can be described as marginal. I'm not a military strategist. But I think to raise awareness is one f the main issues that we can contribute. Civil society, governments, parliamentarians, school children, survivors and medical doctors, international organisations, journalists, those with an expertise as de-miners, people form academia, soldiers, human rights activists, diplomats: There is a new alliance forming around this issue.
This is why I would like to encourage your work, and be encouraged by your work for mine: A new type of partnership that I hope we will continue and expand. My hope is that as many as possible will join this trend as soon as possible because there is urgency in what we do.
Thank you and all the best.

Triumph over sin through Christ's example
SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING By James Washington—There have been countless volumes of space and dialogue devoted to Jesus' blood contract with us that many suggest freed us from the bondage of original sin.

The presumption of guilt
By Congressman John Lewis and Bryan Stevenson—After serving 42 years in an Arizona prison for a crime he didn't commit, a 58-year-old man was finally released this April. When Louis Taylor was just 16, he ventured out of his comfort zone to try a happy hour advertised by an upscale Tucson hotel, a typical foray for an adventurous teenage boy. Unfortunately, that night a fire broke out that ultimately claimed 29 lives. In that moment, Taylor stopped being typical and became extraordinary.

Resisting the devil, just say no

"As both Steele and his wife are deceased, no one was available to testify in his defense. However, when the lawsuit was filed, his adult children issued a statement denying the allegations."
If no one was able to testify [defend] Mr. Steele, is he automatically guilty? Reading the story makes it sound like he is. Is he guilty because the church agreed to settle out of court? I wish I could understand the law pertaining to this.
I'm not sure whether it was actually the church that made the decision to settle or its insurance company. It's usually the insurance company, which makes a cold calculation of potential gains and losses, then opts for the decision making the most actuarial and mathematical sense.
While the terms were not disclosed, and I am not privy to them, I suspect the payout here was pretty modest. And I suspect it was covered by an insurance company to the extent it exceeded the deductible, typically about $5,000.
These are challenging cases for all concerned. The incentive to settle is very high, as both proving and disproving are very dicey and difficult propositions.
Steve Bagwell
Managing Editor
Appearances can be deceiving. Child molesters don't often look the part. In fact, they are often upstanding people in the community. The point is that they don't want to be suspected.
I'm not saying this guy was guilty, but him appearing to be a good guy is not proof that he was innocent.
I am disappointed that the Church/insurance company made a settlement. Something is missing. I wish the News-Register would dig another level deeper in the information.

When 14-year-old Benjamin Ring walks his dog, Jasper, he earns 200 points. When he runs a mile, he gets 500 points. If he hikes with his family or walks to school, he racks up "pointz" that he can redeem for prizes.
"It's like a real-life upgrade," the eighth-grader from Piedmont, California, said about the game Zamzee.
So far, the bespectacled teenager has 47,074 pointz which he has redeemed for Legos and $150 worth of Best Buy gift cards.
Benjamin, a lean and lanky adolescent with bowl-cut hair, is not on a weight-loss program. But he readily says the game has made him more invested in physical activity.
"It made me more interested in exercise because I got money," he said. "I wanted to walk the dog and run as much as I could for PE."
Gaming and screen time have been blamed for contributing to the childhood obesity epidemic, with about one out of three U.S. kids overweight or obese. But there is growing interest in using the addictive, entertainment value of gaming to promote health -- for kids and adults.
"The thinking was, how can we use games for good?" said Fred Dillon, director of product development at Hopelab/Zamzee. "It's obvious kids really like games. Is there a way to take things that kids are already doing and power them for good and health?"
Zamzee tries to instill behavior changes by rewarding exercise and teaching healthy habits. It blends the real world and online experience, because when Benjamin moves in the real world, that movement racks up points for his avatar and allows him to compete against his peers for the most physical activity.
An accelerometer clipped to Benjamin's jeans monitors his moderate to vigorous activity. When he loads data from this device through a USB port into his computer, it shows how much activity he has had since his last login. He can compare how he's doing with other kids. He ranks 53rd among about 3,000 competitors in accumulated lifetime points.
Zamzee, which is expected to become available to the public this fall, is the product of a nonprofit called Hopelab, created by Pam Omidyar. Omidyar, who is married to eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, first used video gaming to help young cancer patients. Hopelab created the 2005 game Re-Mission, in which a heroine travels through the bodies of fictional patients to destroy cancer cells. The video game helped young patients stick with their treatments and improved their cancer knowledge, according to a study published in the journal Pediatrics.
