***The Official Nokia Lumia 920 Thread***

I just tried to checkout on AT&T and there is a big issue. A plan is required to place your order
Cheapest plan is $29/month for over 65s
and there is an activation fee of $36.00I assume they will take plan payment every month so this is a no go deal. Each phone also has AT&T branding at the top.
Not as good deal as it first looked. Going to stick with my Amazon.de order.

Just spent 10 minutes playing with the 920 & 8X and decision made I'll be getting the 920. I'll admit that that 8X is a nicer phone to hold but the extra functionality of the 920 has won me across. Regarding the weight comparing it to my Lumia 800 (one in each hand) I could feel the extra weight but on it's own it doesn't feel too heavy and I managed to put it in my jeans pocket without them falling down so for me it's fine. Having said that I have man sized hands and I'm not so sure my fiancé would find it acceptable.
Conclusion, for me so long as you are not an 8 stone weakling the 920s size/weight is fine. If you are then the 8X is a lovely alternative.

There is also $15 off your first order if you havent factored that in.

Oh FFS, I seriously can't believe they've just jacked the 12 month prices up like that.
Seriously unbelievable. What a bunch of **** wits. EE/Nokia it's a total shambles.
I'm back to square 1, no idea what I'm going to do now.

Ze Germans have the answer

Need to use bestbuy, not AT&T

Im guessing that it is and that is the only thing holding me back for now as we don't know the time it will take before the hack to unlock it comes out?
Best buy is 599 sim free. AT&T isn't sim free at all, you need a tarrif.
So best buy one, is £505 after shipping, tax etc.
Which will be locked, found one site saying they can unlock AT&T on lumia 920 but its $79.99 to do so.
So ze Germans are still the best bet, unless you want cyan.

It's tempting, but I don't have £500 to splash all in one go... Or £350 after I sell the SGS2.
Could take out a 0% CC for it, but I'd rather not tbh!
Bestbuy is $150 more expensive than AT&T directly though. Which also means the VAT will be more expensive. (Around $180 more than direct from AT&T).

Has anyone any thoughts as to if the free nokia charger will still be available to anyone buying from cyberport?

Can you share the unlock code site?
Im seriously considering this as I want a cyan 920
I've been reading this thread for a few days and thought I'd de-lurk.
I originally ordered the Lumia in black (boring I know but I wanted a matte colour) from EE on their 12 month, 51 quid contract. However for goodness knows what reason I failed their credit check - the highest they would offer me was 46 quid per month, even though I offered to pay the entire contract price up front. Madness. So I cancelled.
Since then, I decided that I was happyish paying about 37 quid per month for a smartphone, as this is what I paid for an iphone with a higher upfront cost. With the P4U quidco cashback, this means that I effectively pay 21 quid over two years for 4G on the 41 quid 24 month contract. Not a great total cost over two years, but one I can probably live with.
As for the weight, I prefer heavier phones - I found the iphone a bit light after an Omnia HD, and having played briefly with a (sadly turned off) demo model, I think I'm going to like the 920.
I've never seen a launch handled quite this badly though ...

I think by next week things will start flowing a lot smoother. It's just a waiting game now. I've ordered a red 920 from Cyberport and crossing fingers and toes that I happen to be in the first batch they receive.
