Lumia 930 availability

[thatuxguy]

It's not going to be the news you'll be hoping for. They'll just announce that it'll come with the wireless charger, speaker and headphones with a release date for mid July

I live in hope seeing as other eu countries are announcing their dates albeit slowly.

 

[thatuxguy]

lol, my F5 key has turned to dust refreshing the Vodafone 'Coming Soon' page, so I can't judge!

I did see somewhere Vodafone had been hit with the old F5 attacks on certain pages.

So is that what every 930 is coming with then?

I think on Sim Free pre-orders, yes, it's been rumoured. For contract phones though I think it's just the wireless charging plate thrown in.

 

[grumtrias]

It's been like this for the last 2 weeks... i guess this is most realistic date so far

Here you go guys... chat transcript from Vodafone about 5 minutes ago.... :crying:


You: at 20:38:20
I was told that you (Vodafone) would phone me back in a couple of weeks (now) with regards to getting the pre-order on the 930.

Tarjuman : at 20:38:41
Yes, that's due to come next month

You: at 20:38:44
is that now available?

Tarjuman : at 20:39:31
Nokia has extended its Lunch date. It may launch on 17th July. Its pre-order was supposed to start from 19th June, but Nokia has changed the date now.

You: at 20:39:52
ok so when are you taking pre-orders?

You: at 20:39:55
do you know?

You: at 20:40:04
(and are you doing any special offers?!!)

Tarjuman : at 20:41:09
Now it will not be pre-orders, now direct orders will start if Nokia doesn't delays the launch date.

You: at 20:41:33
wow, ok, so I need to be quick and early if I want one

You: at 20:41:40
ok, that's very helpful, so thank you.

Tarjuman : at 20:42:04
We will be happy to assist you in future once the phone is launched.

Damnit!! :angry:

 

[thatuxguy]

So much conflicting info. It's kinda frustrating!!

Is this Vidafone uk?

 

[Sebbak]

Hang on... I'm going to give it a go too as they do have a bad habit of sending conflicting info. Plus I'm masochistic :crying:

 

[Racing Snake]

yup

 

[thatuxguy]

Maybe that just them. I'm going sim free.

June 30th I'm waiting on the news from unlocked mobiles. Plus I'm putting my money on 10th July or around that date. Purely cause the other eu countries are confirming that date.

Need to remember carries may add their own bits to devices thus a slight delay maybe?

 

[Sebbak]

Well that was fun. Basically told to go in store and ask there.

They 'officially have no info'. So that sounds great... I might pop to store tomorrow and see what they say (and report back naturally). However, if I get directed to that useless 'Coming Soon' blog again I may end up in the news.

Okaaaaay... Now I'm getting chatted up on the chat log :kiss:

So basic jist below. Plus the chatting up. Enjoy!


Niharika: at 20:52:50
Sure
You: at 20:54:24
The Lumia 930, I've heard a few different things about when it is going to be released and what colour options there will be. Can you clear this up for me please? I'm at the end of a contract so I'd like to be able to pick up the 930 as soon as it's out ideally (or via pre-order if that's an option?)
Niharika: at 20:55:28
I am afraid we do not have information on it online
Niharika: at 20:55:43
You may visit a store as they are aware of it
Niharika: at 20:55:45

You: at 20:56:18
Is there no info at all? I was told on chat previously the 3rd of July? But have since heard of a possible delay.
Niharika: at 20:57:05
I am afraid officially we do not have any info
You: at 20:57:07
Ok, well thanks anyway!
Niharika: at 20:58:04
Please visit the store as they would be able to help you with it
You: at 20:58:11
Ok, I'll do that tomorrow. Thanks!
Niharika: at 20:58:41
Your are welcome
Niharika: at 20:58:50
May I ask you if you belong to the UK ?
Niharika: at 20:58:59
You have a beautiful name !
You: at 20:59:25
hahaha, thanks! I was born in Holland, but I've lived in the UK most of my life
Niharika: at 20:59:50
Lovely !

Unfortunately, this chat log Lothario couldn't get any answers :wink:

 

[thatuxguy]

You sly dog sebbak! Good way to get no info though lol

Once I go in store I can hopefully use my hideous visage to scare a response out of them lol

This is what o2 uk just had to say

: Hello, it's Brad here. I hope you're well. What can I do for you?
stuart: im interested in buying a lumia 930 and cant seem to find one do you have any?
Brad: Let me check this for you
stuart: thanks
Brad: Thank you for your patience Stuart
Brad: The Nokia Lumia 930 isn't available on sale yet
stuart: ohh
stuart: any idea on a date I can get one?
Brad: It is more likely to be commencing on sale since the next month's 1st week
Brad: It is more likely to be commencing on sale from the 1st week of July
Brad: we do not have an exact date as of yet
Brad: You can visit our coming soon page https://forums.windowscentral.com/e....o2.co.uk%2Fshop%2Fcoming-soon&token=C7C1MckQ where you can register your interest in your favourite manufacturers to receive texts and email updates on future launches
stuart: ok do you know if you will be doing any deals with the phone
Brad: Yes, we would be having the phone on Pay and Go and Pay monthly as well
Brad: But would not be able to comment on the tariff, I'm afraid

@thatuxguy you don't think they are delaying the 930 because they almost got Cortana up and running? Would make good sense to market the new flagship with your new best friend built in rather than a flagship with coming soons on it?

That's a good point, but cortana is part of WP8.1 so would in theory just switch on i think, in similar way it does when you select US English in the DP.

 

[thatuxguy]

Off topic... any of you guys on Xbox? I am assuming you are as you have WP devices lol

Feel free to add me -- thatuxguy

Well looking at the Cyan 8.1 update schedule, the 925's right on time for the according to the schedule. Only thing that isn't is the 930 - this is actually the last week before it's not meeting what was planned.
