Lumia 1320, RM-995 availability

[Yitzhak Khabinsky]

Hello,

Does anybody know about Lumia 1320, RM-995 availability?
It looks like a ghost model.

I was planning to use it on T-Mobile in the US...

Hmm... Maybe after some time, it'll show up for sale on Negrielectronics.com? I'm curious about this as well because my best friend has hinted at maybe getting a 1320 to use on T-Mobile.

I already had few chat sessions with the negrielectronics.com support folks in the past. They were unaware if and when Lumia 1320, RM-995 will arrive.

It'll most likely be the one destined for Canada.If any of the Canadian carriers should pick up this model, i bet it'll be AWS compatible.Till then,fingers crossed.

On one of the sites(maybe phone arena?) they said the 995 was for latin america

I can confirm the model I recieved from Newegg here in the US is the RM-995 Latin American version but was marketed and sold as the 994 model. Newegg also markets and sells the 1520 with the wrong information as well. I also checked the IMEI against Nokia support here in the US and it shows in warranty.

 

[alphacc82]

Sold by newegg or by a 3rd party seller?

 

[seangprice]

By Newegg, I'll double check my invoice.

So will this work in Canada with carriers that use the AWS frequency similar to Tmobile USA ?

e-bay has them for sale as well. Amazon does not appear to have them.

Does it specifically say RM-995 anywhere on the packaging or phone ? Did you get T-Mobile 3g? Are you able able to confirm that it has the HSDPA 1700 frequency?

 

[dixonjr79]

Yea, but the RM 995 version is not specifically listed anywhere this phone is sold

The model I received supports all bands and connections for T-Mobile USA. The box does not say RM 995, however it is listed under info in the settings menu.

My Cricket 1320 says RM-995 on it...weird, I thought they only carried the RM-994 version.

How long have you had your 1320, I'm thinking of ordering one from Cricket. Would be a nice bonus if they are sending out 995's currently.

excellent!, i'm looking for the RM-995 and like you say, it's a ghost phone!.
i'll look for it on newegg then, thanks!

btw: whoever got it from newegg, can you confirm to us which product code you got?(not the "RM" version, but the code which usually is etched in the sim cover flap)
