Lumia 1020 for Canada?

[Kerry Swartz]

Negri . . . ordered Friday, here today. Put in Bell SIM card, everything works right out of the box. They even stated an invoice price half of value for reduced GST.

Unlocked black 1020s for the Toronto area:
Brand NEW Nokia Lumia 1020 Unlocked 32GB 41 0MP Black | eBay

I live in Austria and got my used 1020 from ebay USA for 446 EUR + 117 EUR import charges + 15 EUR shipping.
Makes 578 EUR which is still more than 120 EUR cheaper than new ones here in Austria which are supposed to be released in 2-3 weeks.
Austrian unlocked 1020s are priced at 700 EUR = 910 US$.

Yes, everything works so far on Koodo although I haven't tried nav yet, but I believe an earlier post mentioned that there is now maps for Canada. I cant say enough about the phone. I consistently get about 2 days out of a charge with regular use, and with a lot of photography I still get much better results than I ever did on my galaxies. Interestingly enough, in the about phone section its listed as the 909. Just be sure to get the APN info from your carrier if data isn't working automatically.

I wish more Americans would buy unsubsidized. Our monthly cell phone bills are double and sometimes triple what other countries pay.

I'm tempted to do the same. Is there any difference between this phone and the one that will be released on Rogers in October?

 

[Kerry Swartz]

Don't know except that it won't have the ATT logo printed on the upper left hand corner of the screen. Might also have Rogers bloatware on it like the ATT did.

Since it's technically an AT&T device, I assume updates would be coming from AT&T?
They seem to be pretty slow at providing updates.....

Why not wait for the Rogers version? Should work fine for you and they've been good with updates so far.

I may end up doing that.

Download the access point app, go into settings, and open "Access Point". It should say "Rogers" now, and everything should start working!

Woohoo! Just reserved the Lumia 1020 on Rogers - thanks to WPCentral for the news! Opted for the black Lumia and includes the free black camera grip. Now, it's just "hurry up and wait"

 

[theefman]

What's their usual lapse period between preorder and availability?

 

[trickym81]

Any idea how much it costs on Rogers?

Do you know if I can pre-order the phone to purchase at full price? Unfortunately I just started a new contract and I will have to buy the phone if I want it.

Rogers has posted $199 for the Nokia Lumia 1020 on a 2 year flex plan on their web page. I still have balance left on my Lumia 900 and I'll have to pay that off before upgrading and starting another flex plan with their Rogers Smartphone Freedom Advantage. Here's the link to the Lumia 1020, but hidden with from the horizontal sliding image. They haven't posted the price of the phone itself without a plan

If you call Rogers's customer service line and get through to the retention department, you can probably argue down your remaining balance. When the 920 came out I simply asked for a reduction and they gave me 50% off--no arguing needed.

IIRC people that wanted to do that with the 920 had to buy a $50 prepaid plan with at least one month or something like that. I figure they'll do the same with the 1020?

Has anyone reserved and got a release date? Seems strange getting people to order a phone with no indication when it will be available.
