[Djf2884]

No way man :x i will not wait for september...

I m very very happy with my actual Lumia 820 and i love WP but if it's true... I will move to iOS or Android... Begining of July is the last chance i'll give to Nokia on my side.

Swedish stores are now confirming 2014-07-15 as the 'preliminary' date for shipping. Check:
Nokia Lumia 930 Black (4G), Mobiler - katshing.se

So just 3.5 more weeks...

Priced at 550 euro / ?443.68.

It's incredible how the phone was announced to hit the stores starting in June and we are already talking mid July for so many countries... Disgusting.

Spoken to Expansys UK, who advise they are looking at a July 3rd release. Just awaiting confirmation (if any) who their source is.

Their pre-orders also come with a "Free Pack of Nokia accessories" but no details on this.

If its not released 1st week of July, and still no release date I'm gonna start looking at the 1520 more, or hang on for the iPhone 6.

Apparently the customer service person was quoting something they say on the office Three site... 3g.co.uk, which was taken from Nokia Ireland. mmmm well 3G.co.uk is not the official Three site. My trust with Expansys has now taken quite a knock.

MediaMarkt.de now says 7/11, and one of the big electronics retailers in Hungary just listed white and black preorder for with a delivery date of 7/09. The price is EUR 580, but we are blessed with a 27% VAT.

Some good news. Just returned from a local store retailer. The electronic catalog says that Lumia 930 will be available on June 29.

Looking into the 930's delay and I have seen this... it looks like this delay was already known about by MS and Nokia.

"The 930 will come with the Windows Phone 8.1 update out of the box, though — so it’s not launching til late June or early July in the U.K.

The launch delay for the Lumia 930 — which is still another three to four months out — is down to waiting for that Windows 8.1 update, Nokia said today (although the more mid-range Lumia 630 and 635, also announced yesterday, will be out a bit sooner, towards the end of May).

It is also, it conceded, down to its “launch campaign plan” — ergo, the pair want to make sure all those joint Nokia-Microsoft marketing pounds do they job they’re intended to. The joint marketing campaign for the 930 will be “one of the biggest ever”, they said today."

Also @joebelfiore Tweeted.... "WP8.1 sw is finished for the Lumia phones that started shipping a couple weeks ago.. and we're testing the update code now. Fixes ongoing." on June 11th.

At the conference they did say the Lumia 930 is built for WP8.1, and that it would be out "in the month June". So maybe the delay is down to WP8.1? Or maybe there is not really a delay and we have assumed too much

That said where's the Lumia 1520 Green version for example it's not out as WP8.1 has not released

Could you kindly share which retailer is it in Hungary? Thanks.

It's Extreme Digital (edigital.hu). You can also find it on expansys.hu for 10k HUF cheaper, but they don't have an ETA...

 

[Pistooli]

Thanks for the info. EDigital is not a trusted source imho. But I hope I am wrong.

In NL and BE bol.com decreased the price to eur 515 for an orange unit (from 529) ...my delivery date shows June 25th.. I'm not holding my breath though.....

 

[LarsHu]

Cyberport in Germany has had the 19th of June as delivery date for a while - that was just updated to 10th of July. *sigh*

I think its now fair to say that we can expect to see the Lumia 930 start shipping from about the 9th July, or 2nd week (Week 28) in July might be more realistic.

I suppose its now a choice of so you wait for the device, or do you look at one of the others you have considered if you cant be bothered to wait another 3 weeks (approx). And then that's only if there are no further delays with the device or issues with Windows Phone 8.1.

Nokia Lumia 1020 w/free grip... or Lumia 1520* same spec as the 930, but with larger screen and SD slot.


*But not in green as 8.1 has not yet been released!

I would personally just. I wouldn't want to buy a 1520 and then the 930 comes out the next week and I'll be stuck.

This is what I fear
Also i just fear the 1520 in general... I don't want to go back on the fact that I said I would never get a phablet, then end up taking one anyways.
but damn, the 1520 is the next best thing since I most likely won't be getting a 930.
Else settle with a 1020, atleast I'll have a epic camera to brag about.

I agree the camera is good, but the low end device specs make me question it. I can get a 1520 for upto 200 GBP less than the 930 will be. Thus why i am tempted.

I also hear the 6" screen is pretty awesome once you get used to it.

Most of the people had complaints with the video recording of 1520. Here is a comparision of video recording of 930 and Galaxy S5, where 930 has outclassed Galaxy S5in each and every department.

As Thatuxguy said, the Lumia 1520 has better specifications than the Lumia 930. Other than having the same processor, memory and RAM it has a bigger screen, SD-card slot, Glance support, better battery life and it's thinner.

The only reason I can see someone picking the 930 over the 1520 is because of the smaller height and width. Because in all other areas, the 930 is inferior.
