Lumia 920 India Confirmation

[EISENbricher]

If it is the first week of January you guys are gonna get it before me >_< I'm having to wait until the end of January before I can even look at getting mine... First off is exclusivity, next is mum doesn't want me spending all my Christmas + birthday money on a phone... Right now I'm using a TITAN.

Where are you from, UK I guess?

Aye, I'm from the UK. Leeds to be specific. It had already been decided that the 920 was the right phone for me, so yeah. Had originally been anticipating the 820 but on further inspection it didn't turn out to be the correct phone for me.

Tech2 says "Nokia Lumia 920 and 820 to be launched in India on January 15".
They've cited their sources from grey market to back up the news.

It knows nothing. Absolutely right.
2nd para of that article is apocalyptically hideous. It starts with a hypothesis and ends defying the same.

Tech2 sucks, still this isn't their fault. They are just reporting what Nokia's been telling. So the sinner is Nokia itself.

Good to know! I heard that nobody likes EE there because of its overpriced plans? Are you waiting for the phone to launch on Vodaphone?
Oh same goes for me. I don't want a phone with anything less resolution than 720p. So 920 it is!!

I know people that seem to have no issue with EE. I'm not waiting for Vodafone though, waiting for Carphone Warehouse so I can buy it SIM free and use my Three SIM in it.

Yeah, it will work fine, BUT YOU WILL NOT HAVE A WARRENTY IN INDIA then. Mind you, warrenty is really Important right ? Unless you are a RICH S.O.B. then you dont have to worry about it, otherwise, wait for the Device to Launch in India !

Make sure that you can unlock it though. Because I see some sellers on ebay india who are selling their 920s simply because they couldn't unlock the phone.

Meanwhile read the review of fonearena. http://www.fonearena.com/blog/59415/nokia-lumia-920-review.html
I always look for some interesting review from them but looks like their top bloggers are not interested in doings review for it. Again the same statistical review, I become bored. And what he says is, it may be huge for some, I guess if he had reviews s3 then what would be his thoughts!!!
Anyway, the pics he took are nice and gives new info about things which i even dont know about. And he even reviewed Nokia exclusive apps nicely at the same time which is rarely seen with a phone's review. Its a good thing, people will know about what Nokia is offering them.....

 

[rnaveen1989]

can u help me regarding that. How can i know that the device can be unlocked in India or not . . if i get at&t mobile for 449$ can it get unlocked or i need to get complte unlocked one which nokia hasn't release in U.S so far

are U kidding! 449$!!!!!!! That's too much for a contract phone. Better buy in India.
Cons of unlocking contract phones in India:
1. U not only will not get valid warranty in India, U will break your phone's original warranty in US.
2. Unlocking will cost U more money as U can't do this by ur own, and experts will charge U money for that and that too without guarantee that it will be unlocked successfully for whole life.
3. Its purely illegal thing to unlock a contract based phones, proceed on your own risk.

Still if U R alright with it, go for it, but I would straight say no if that's the price. It was available for 49$ few days back, dont know if still available.

What a boring review.... stats only and messed up styling. Too many screenshots. Anyway Indian bloggers getting phone for reviewing is a good sign.

Actually 449$ isn't contract price, it's price for the AT&T bound phone, but off-contract. So only AT&T sims will work, but besides that the phone isn't bound to contract. Unlocking sure isn't recommended.

btw here's a better review from TechTree

Review: Nokia Lumia 920

 

[notebookgrail]

Latest news on Lumia 920 India regarding the LTE bands.
Here is the mail content from a Nokia India (someone in the upper magmt).
==============
Thanks for your mail. Wanted to let you know answers to your queries.

1) Even though Lumia 920 supports FDD LTE, Since Indian networks do not support FDD LTE , it was been switched OFF for India. So even if you travel to countries which have FDD LTE networks, Lumia 920 bought in India may not be able to latch onto those networks.

2) Supported LTE bands:
? Devices sold in US/AT&T: 1900(2), 1700/2100(4), 850(5), 700(17)
? Devices sold in Europe: 2100(1), 1800(3), 2600(7), 900(8), 800(20)
============

If this is true, then NL920 isn't worth the high price tag (if price above 30K) and being called the world most advanced smartphone (in India).

 

[X0LARIUM]

From their FB page, it looks like its going to b 1ST Jan... tomorrow that is.

Sent from my RaZr on MIUI.

 

[Lakshman Guntu]

I really hope they price it less than HTC 8x as they did in US and other markets .. Fingers crossed

 

[EISENbricher]

Sure that. Equal or below the 8X price. I'll not give a damn if it's priced more than 33K.

Not being a ****** if I think even, the MMX A110 is a steal for 10k. Not that I'm going to buy it, but it's grabbing my attention.

mmx, seriously. I hv got a free a90 2mnts ago. Soled it for 9.5k bucks. I used it. And it was actually looking like a cheap phone. The camera is awefull, calling quality sucks, it was big and very light giving me feeling that if droped by mistake, it will not survive.
