- Lumia 822 za Verizon operatera uslikana u živo | NokiaMob | October 11, 2012
is it the love child of 603 and lumia 920 ?!
It looks like a stocky 610
That is the first time I’ve ever seen a Nokia phone state what kind of connection it has… strange looking.. reminds of all the others.. put divx and.. srs audio on it too while you are at it.
Standard Verizon idiocracy. They have it on all their LTE enabled phones AFAIK, apart from the iPhone ofcourse.
I thought this device looks ok, but the hate on wpcentral is hugeeee
it’s kinda ugly. even the 610 looks better,and that’s a low end lumia,not mid-range like this one.
makes me think that we’re going back to the old nokia of crippling certain phones to make the high end ones look better. except in this case with windows phone’s strict hardware requirements they can only do that in the design department.
Sad to see such an ugly, unimaginative design from Nokia of all people.
absolutely agree. This is by far the most boring design of all new lumias.
Looks like something I would expect fron HTC.
I’m gonna let this one slide just because it’s good that Nokia are at least getting in well with U.S. carriers. It’s a step forward. Subsequent devices better look a helluva a lot better though. I wonder if the N9/Lumia 800/900/920 square-edged design is something AT&T wanted exclusive rights to in the U.S.
Agree, the fact that they are now going to be on top 3 carriers is way more important than the relatively lackluster designs of the 810 and 822.
They might look and feel better in real life anyway (like the 710, for example, did at least for me).
I quite liked the 710, it had a lot of things going for it design wise. Could have been a bit more curved and felt a little better, but aside from that, it’s a good design.
Hmm, Nokia are trying to get back on Carriers good side. let’s see how it goes.
My understanding is that U.S. carriers have input on the design so as to distinguish their version of the device from other carriers (i.e. Samsung/HTC Android series devices).
Sadly, there really wasn’t too much that Nokia could say – they’ve had a strained, if not non-existant, relationship with Verizon for years, and Nokia doesn’t have the clout (yet) to dictate to any carrier (especially Verizon being that Verizon is the #1 carrier in the U.S.).
I’m just excited for Nokia for finally having a device on Verizon after all of these years. No, this device won’t sell a boatload, but at least it will get exposure on the largest network in the U.S.
I’m thinking that the device probably looks better than these pics ‘in real life’
Verizon isn’t the no.1 carrier in U.S., AT&T is.
Verizon is the 2nd largest.
Just FYI, no biggie.
You’re right
I guess I was thinking of the LTE network/deployment.
+1. I am actually blown away by the notion that Nokia will in a few weeks time have phones on all top 3 carriers in the US, and relatively well specked ones + plus a halo device to boot.
This is unprecedented.
I want to see the red version of this phone!
What’s with all the ugly as sin phones that get released.
920: ok it looks nice, it’s another N9 but it looks decent
820: hm ok doesn’t look too good
810: yuck, it’s like an iPhone but way thicker
822: wtf
Seriously, can’t you just make one nice looking high end model like the 920, another nice looking mid range and release on all carriers. That’s what Samsung, Apple and HTC do and it works. Why the 20 different phones? I don’t get the strategy.
Actually, Nokia is doing exactly what Samsung and HTC are doing. Just Samsung and HTC have bland looking phones across the range, so the dull midrange ones don’t stand out the way they do with Nokia.
Unless the 8xx series phones are gonna be hella cheap though (~$300 outright), they should have gone with the milled unibody design for all of them (the only reason not to use it is because it’s expensive).
The 822 looks likw a Verizon phone. That’s ehy it has thw 4GLTE basging too.
Off topic, but how does the 810 look like an iPhone??? The 610 with it’s pchrome trim looks more like an iPhone than any of the Second Gen Lumias.
I seem to remember informed debate a few years back criticizing Nokia for having too many models, fragmenting its identity. Some speculated that this caused them to take their eyes off the ball and fall behind other manufacturers with a skinnier lineup.
I thought the current high end strategy was for less models, released on time. This WinPhone8 season seems to see Nokia returning to the scattergun approach to its products again, what’s going on?
I realise that this is all just pandering to the US and that Nokia don’t yet have any power to dictate to the carriers, so have to cook up all these ‘exclusives’, but this is getting ridiculous now. Wouldn’t it have been good enough to have created carrier specific models by varying the specification or features of this year’s two models, without dicking around with the design? All this fragmentation will do is create friction and resentment. Consumers will just whinge that they want the phone they can’t get with their existing carrier instead of switching carriers. US consumers seem very loyal to their carriers. I hope these ‘carrier exclusives’ only remain so for a very short period, so people can choose the phone they want.
For what it’s worth, I think this 822 doesn’t even look like a Nokia. If you took off the logo, you wouldn’t know who had produced it.
edit: Heck, this 822 doesn’t even have a Nokia logo! Nokia are just an OEM now?
the logo is present at the top, next to the front facing camera, below the ear piece/speaker. try tilting ur screen a bit, pic isn’t very clear.
Thanks, still can’t see it but at least it’s there. The phone is fugly anyway (IMHO, natch). Can’t see this winning over the HTC offerings on style for die hard Verizon customers. This just isn’t a Lumia family phone, it must have been designed in a boardroom meeting between some big money execs at Nokia and Verizon, or chosen by Verizon from a bunch of mockups on the basis that it looks the least like the 820 and 920.
The conflict here is that the networks are wanting differentiation from each other while Nokia need to consolidate their brand identity with a ‘hero’ device.
Disclosure: I use an N900, my wife has an N8 and my eldest son is just about to pick up a Lumia 800 for £130 PAYG. I’m genuinely Nokia OS agnostic, previous Elop hater, now Elop skeptic.
It might be the only way they could get phones on all the carriers. I hope that’s the reason and they’ll stop when they have more leverage.
It’s not pretty, is it? The 810 is a hell of a lot better.
I agree on the ugly.
An ungly compromise device with hideous markings on both sides, definitely the product of carrier demands from Verizon – which I call the ugly carrier. They may be big, but they surely are ugly.
Anyway, being on Verizon is important. If this is what Nokia had to do to get there, so be it. But I agree it is ugly.
The more that I look at the face of this device, the more it reminds me of the WP7 concepts that were revealed on Feb 11 – you know the ones – the black, magenta, and cyan – that some many really liked. The only difference, really, is that there is the Verizon logo on the ‘chin’, but the ‘chin’ was always there.
If Nokia makes replaceable covers in the exact same form as those renders, then I think they’ve got a winner

yeah, that would be nice… I doubt they will though. I mean they might have color covers as accessories but almost 100% sure to be in the same shape as the one in the pics.
I don’t see the resemblance at all. It’s a big touch screen slab, but that’s about all they have in common.
I do – the orientation of the press shot is different, but the face looks the same, save the Verizon logo.
