Such a massive let down. I don't think I could bring myself to take out a £41pm contract... let alone be on it for 2 years. It works out more expensive than an iPhone and they were always the "premium" phone.

Unless they do none 4g contracts or non 4g versions. I might have to look at a different windows 8 phone.

"If you want to buy the Lumia 920 you can also get it from Phones 4u, though you'll only be able to buy it on an EE contract."

So no SIM free?

That's not good then.

Looks like its going to be a import then if I can't buy this simfree.

Lads, they will obviously be selling it off contract somewhere in the UK. Nokia wouldn't be stupid enough to limit the possible customer base by forcing you to take out a contract to get one.

I'm thinking Google Nexus phone at £280 is starting to look at lot more attractive than this...

16GB limit sucks though, for me anyway. My 32GB 4S is practically full.

I can live with it because I used spotify for music. Space is never really that much of an issue for me so long as its more than 16gb

Oh I think they would be. If they were brilliant at business they wouldn't be so massively in the red.

All those who kept tell me and others to "shut up" and "wait til monday", well here were are and it's still about as clear as mud as to if this phone can be bought SIM free in the UK with ease.

You can see why HTC, Samsung and Apple sell more.

I agree Nokia really have made a massive mess out of this launch.

This is no longer about patience, its about being bitter giving my money to an incapable company.

Just rang orange, it's not on their systems yet, maybe I was being a bit optimistic lol.

Will ring again tomorrow.

It's really sad as the 920 is a great phone. It's just they seem to think that EE and Phones 4 U are deserving of an exclusive when they're not.

That said, none of the operators are particularly good or nice people

Looks like I'm importing from the EU at this rate.

I asked someone on the p4u live chat about sim free and she said 'I don't see why not'.

Well I hope so. But maybe she hasn't read the policy on sales of it yet.

Seems kinda obvious they're going to be sold sim free by P4U on the 2nd as it's before the EE availability on the 7th, surely?

EE are getting it on the 2nd...

No exclusiptivity on the 820 if anyone's interest. O2, tesco mobile and Caroline all confirmed suppliers I'm sure others will be announced.

 

[FatFishMonster]

does anywhere have the 820 up for preorder yet? (bit optimistic)

"Yes" but no one I would trust. It even says sim free price not confirmed. It also says In Stock, then underneath its says release date unconfirmed.
