How much would it cost is the cancelling of the 2 year contract to get the Lumia 920 with 2 year contract?

It would be the cost of the ETF ($375 - $10 for every month of contract used) plus then the cost of the device ($99) for a new 2 year contract.

So let's say you are 8 month's into a 2 year contract on an iPhone 4S. That would be a $375 ETF but since you are 8 months in that is $80 off so the ETF would be $295. Then the cost of the phone would be $99 + taxes plus a new 2 year contract. All in you are talking about ~ $450 to get the Lumia 920 on Friday based on this scenario.

The 4G of AT&T's Lumia 920 won't work on most of T-mobile's network. They are currently refarming it to be compatible with AT&T's frequencies, but I wouldn't count too much on that at this point. Also BlendedFrog is wrong about the starting price of the ETF. It is $325 and not $375.

Also it is my understanding that if you break your existing contract by paying the ETF, you cannot get a new line on AT&T using the same phone number. You can freely port that phone number to Verizon or T-mobile though. I may be wrong though.

Okay because you can buy the phone without a contract for $450. But I was thinking if I can get the phone for $300 then it would be worth it. I guess the HTC 8X will be my next phone.

$325/375....I was close. The 920 is a penta band phone....that has GSM 1800 which is the same as TMO 3G so if you get an unlocked one then you should be able to get 3G service without any issues. You won't be getting LTE though.

For getting 3G on T-mobile (pre-refarming), you need access to both 1700 and 2100. Yes, the Lumia 920 that were given to BUILD seem to have support for both of those frequencies. The one sold by AT&T though, most likely doesn't. One needs to be careful since there seem to be multiple variations of the phone out there.

How is the 8X a better deal? Also, if you don't mind losing your current number, and you are already 1 year into your current contract, then yes, your cost for the Lumia 920 will be roughly $300.

$99 (phone) + $325 (early termination fee) - $10 x months of service paid (deduction made for each month paid) + current month's bill

So, $425 + month of service if done immediately, which likely includes some form of upgrade/new service fee (around $36 unless waived).

That is going to be cheaper than spending $600 + the cost of the wireless charger.

      Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
