Seems that NOKIA didn't learn any lessons from what happened last year :-/I find it really frustrating that flagship products can get such a weak launch or at least such a confused one. I was expecting a far clearer launch for a flagship product from a company in financial difficulty. But seeing as Nokia have been going through a turbulent trading period I'm surprised they wouldn't have wanted a wider variety of carrier choice and if by signing up with one carrier to start with at least then make it easily available sim free. I'm really hoping that EE pricing fails otherwise there will be no incentive for the remaining UK carriers to compete with lower deals. I do have a sneaky feeling though that the 920 might be short lived as the flagship, just as the 800 was with their first effort.
It looks like EE are desperately trying to push their 4G plans. No sign of 920 on Orange site with Orange tariffs so guess they're hoping some will pull the trigger and just go with EE - especially with the P4U Speaker promotion.Seems that NOKIA didn't learn any lessons from what happened last year :-/

Well I have spoken to 4 separate stores for the 920's this morning ? every single store said they didn't have the phones in stock, but expected some in this week. I was quoted two prices - once by someone telling me the price was ?495 and someone else in a different stored said the price would be ?459, and every single store said the phones would come unlocked. I checked online with the live chat service and they also said that while they couldn't confirm pricing information that the sim-free versions will be unlocked to all networks.
Is this a case of no one knows what they're talking about or will the phones actually come in this week and be unlocked?
I'm talking about UK retailers yes. I asked Phones4U if they would be able to provide me with a phone that's sim-free and unlocked in the UK. I asked 4 different stores and an online representative the same question and every one of them told me that they would be able to provide me that.Are you referring to the UK retailers like Phones4U? All the sim-free versions means you can buy the phone on its own "without" a sim contract but they are locked to EE/Orange/T-Mobile. The UK sites that offer true unlocked will be sourcing them from the continent, I'm sure.

When I suggested to each one they might be locked to T-Mobile or Orange they all said to me that the phones would be completely unlocked to all networks. I'm not sure if they're just saying that because that's what's happened with all other phones they've sold or if it's true of the 920.
Really. Went with my father to get him a 920 on Saturday from an EE shop. They had some in stock but the only way they would give him the phone for free on a 2 year contract was if he signed up to the highest ?56/month tariff. I asked about getting it on 3G and they said it wasnt available. Father went mental saying hes been an orange customer for 15 years and wasnt willing to pay thier extortionate prices for a service (4G) that hes never going to use. Picked up an HTC 8X myself on saturday. Havent put it down all weekend. Awesome phone.Do people not realise the 920 isn't ONLY available on the 4G EE? It's also available theough EE's two 3G networks T-Mobile and Orange.
I find it staggering how many people think the 920 is only available on EE's extortionate 4G tariffs.
Anyway I'm getting the handset on T- Mobile's Full Monty tariff this week.

If this is going to be available on Orange then they should hurry up and update their website at least to say coming soon

Again, I cannot see how anyone can call the 920 a brick, it's gorgeous and not too heavy in my opinion.
