If you don’t mind sticking with Windows Phone 7.8, you might want to check out today’s eBay Daily Deal. You can pick up an unlocked 16GB Nokia Lumia 900 for just $220. This comes with free shipping to boot. I should caution that while it’s an eBay seller with over 74,000 in feedback, they have a high level of complaints – 34 in the past month.
Still, this is a tempting deal.

Earlier this year, Microsoft announced that Windows Phone 7.8 would bring many of the features of Windows Phone 8 to older devices. There is a growing frustration among those who have older devices, with little nothing coming out of Redmond about the release. Today they furnished TechCrunch with a vague statement.
“We have made no further announcement on this but hope to share more details in the near future.”
Paul Thurrott summed it up best in this blog post aptly titled, “Windows Phone Team: This Is No Way To Treat Early Adopters.”
