It's lot more hassle to get that $449.99 price. You have to sign up for AT&T voice plan and service. And AT&T will hard pull your credit score. Then once you get your shipping and wireless number information, you have to call AT&T and cancel your voice and data service so you don't get hit with $35 activation fee and first month service fee. It's nothing complicated but it's annoying and unnecessary. You would think AT&T would just sell you the phone without making you jump through hoops.
And what I'm reading is that it's a bit of the PITA to get Windows Phones up and running on ST. You can get most of the functions working, except MMS on Nokia phones is a challenge. You need to access to a Nokia App called "Network Setup" that lets you adjust more settings that aren't part of the APN options. It was published to the App store at one time, and then pulled. Then published again. And I can't find again...although that could be something that you need a Nokia phone to be able to see.
Just know that there's a few extra hurdles than just popping in an AT&T sim from ST and then adding in the att.mvno setting in the APN setup.
