Any news if the Microsoft Stores will carry them unlocked? That would be my best bet, I suppose.
I've read that they will not be unlocked, but who knows what is true these days.

That makes me a sad panda.I've read that they will not be unlocked, but who knows what is true these days.
They told me it was unlockedOn Negri, I just saw a AT&T 920 for $579. Its not unlocked, but if you're on AT&T, that's the lowest price I have seen anywhere.
I've been told by several Microsoft Store employees that they will not be unlocked. They also stress that they (the Microsoft Stores themselves) are "only" third party dealers so they are locked in to whatever carrier they are selling for.Any news if the Microsoft Stores will carry them unlocked?

Sad, indeed.I've been told by several Microsoft Store employees that they will not be unlocked. They also stress that they (the Microsoft Stores themselves) are "only" third party dealers so they are locked in to whatever carrier they are selling for.
I find that humorous (and sad)
Friggin' iPhone 4S. If I made a little bit more money, I don't know... 25-30% more, I would take my 4S and break it agains a wall, run it over with my car, pee on it.... damn, light it up with some gasoline.
BREAK that piece of boring, stale doodoo.
Last week I checked Negri Electronics and the phone was 698 US Dollars. Now, it's 775 for the black one and 730 for the grey one.
I do not find that very reputable.
Any other places to get it?
Will the Microsoft stores get unlocked/unbranded Lumias?
I refuse to buy it for almost 900 US Dollars from a dude on Ebay.
I am getting kinda desperate. (I need me my gadgets)
That makes me a sad panda.
Yeah, I guess I'll wait. Not having an international warranty also makes me a sad panda.
So I have no crappy idea what I am supposed to do. I need me my Lumia.

Are you mexican? Did you find out what kind of taxes/tariffs you will pay for that phone?Check out options on other countries. I ordered a Black HTC 8X from Clove (UK) last friday. It should arrive in Merida (we live in the same city!) this weekend. Total price in USD incl. shipping was around $560.00.
They haven't published any news regarding the stock availability of the Lumia 920 but you can keep an eye on their site/twitter. Smartphones, Tablets, HTC, Motorola, BlackBerry - from Clove
Another source to buy can be Expansys but they haven't said anything about stock for the 920 either. Their site will tell you to visit their mexican page but the prices listed for the 8X were almost the same as the ones in Mercado Libre, which are not bad but not cheap either. First for Smartphones, Tablets, Laptops and Accessories - Expansys.com UK
Saludos!

That is one thing that is keeping me from ordering it from Negri. If the phone is made in China, I guess taxes could be pretty high.
But I think it is made in Korea... I guess I should ask around in here
Noticed last night that Negri changed the MHzs on their unlocked grey and reds to remove the 1700MHz spectrum. Have an email in with them right now, waiting on a response. If so, this is sad.
Awesome! Please let us know how much you pay.Yes, I'm Mexican.
Two months ago, I ordered two Nexus 7 16GB from eBay and I paid MXN $750 for both. The total price of that invoice was around USD $500. I took that into account so if I end up paying something for the 8X (I still don't know if I will until the phone arrives this week) it should be near that. The price is still great if you consider that amount for tax or import fee.
The worst case scenario if a tax/import fee if any, is high, I would be paying almost the same amount local shops will be charging for it when it comes to Mexico, at least MXN $9,500 on Expansys.com.mx or MXN $10,500+ on Mercado Libre, but I will have it much much sooner. It ships tomorrow and should arrive saturday or monday at the most
