I saw a mention that WalMart was selling the 920 for $49.99 so I found the online only ad and went to best buy where without hassle they matched the price and I now have the matte black version with 30 to exchange for another color when they arrive. No plate but the money saved pays for that and best buys insurance has $0 deductible so win win for me.

And end up paying roughly $1,000 more for the phone after your 2 year contract is up than you would have if you bought it off contract for full price and went with an MVNO like StraightTalk, Red Pocket, or MVNO...

I have lte coverage and don't care for subpar service despite the savings.

That really depends.

I just bought 2 Lumia 920's for $99 each and renewed my 2-year contract for each phone. Both Lumia 920's are only costing me $35 each per month (part of a family plan) with unlimited data. The total 2 year price for me is going to be $940 per phone. I cannot get a better deal off contract, not that I could figure out anyway.
