'Hi Kate, the Lumia 920 will be available on Orange from 9 November.'

i hope someone can test this and verify that it does, because if its true i will be getting it.
Likewise. I will be phoning them first thing in Friday.
Its a strange one. Online, Nokia UK and P4U are insisting that the SIM free phones are locked to EE, Orange and TMobile. But isnt the definition of SIM Free that it is unlocked?
Doesnt make much sense.
oh shietInternational variant (Rogers) has support for T-Mobile's AWS bands?
Wind / Mobilicity next year here I come? Although this means I also can't get it from the US.
Goddammit.
I want my White, freedom-loving, Lumia 920

Pray that the Microsoft Store in Canada gets additional colours.
I have every damn reason in the world to get a Lumia 920 right now, but they just won't let me buy it. I wish Nokia had an online store, even if they said stock will slowly be pushed out, I want to at least place an order.
Here's the deal
My older brother and I want the Lumia 920. He's upgrading from a Cyan Lumia 800 and me from an Omnia 7. Both of us are at our limits when it comes to upgrading, so we don't care about EE's pricing or whatever.
What stops us is the availability of the colours:
- Glossy Yellow
- Glossy White
- Matte Black
- Glossy Red
I'm keen on waiting for information about when Cyan comes to the UK, but he's not. However he's limited to a Black one because a matte finish is important to us.
The only thing stopping me from getting the Glossy Yellow Lumia 920 on Friday is my girlfriend urging me to wait because I don't look happy to pick it up.
>_<
Why are Nokia doing this? I mean, if the 920 was like the 820 I'd just switch out the case later on, but afaik this is impossible even with the other Lumia phones.
I hope we'll know more about Cyan when it launches for AT&T.
EDIT: Can I get a Live Tile for Neogaf on Windows 8?

At least you have the ability to get one. In America Nokia and AT&T are dropping the ball something awful.
I think it got eliminated for Cyan when people complained.
Post how you get one, my P4U doesnt think they will have any until Friday.
I cant see why it would be locked to 3 networks, but not work at all on any others.
I don't think they're gonna carry anything aside from Surface / W8 stuff at the holiday stores =/ Might stop off at the mall today to ask.
Is this bizarro world what is going on I don't even
I'll probably be in Seattle at some point in December so if Rogers hasn't got their shit together by then I might see if the Microsoft Store down there has what I want. It's hard to justify paying $675 for something I'm not 100% happy with.
Also I thought it was supposed to be $550. Why the hell is it $600?
Edit: nvm. The XDA forum guy said it was $600+tax but Rogers says $550?

I hope this clears up P4U confusion, took this photo this evening in P4U
is that some in-store promotion then? it's 140 quid on the website on a £36 tariff.

that's only listing EE prices, it's also available on Orange and Tmo which are only allowing 3g access
Don't worry we'll probably get an event to announce the date is coming at a later time.
Went into a Phones4U store and tried holding both the 8X and 920 Dummy. Found the 920 way too big I have big hands but it just didn't feel good and I couldn't reach the whole screen with one hand comfortably. I'll be going with the 8X which is not what I expected to be getting.

I would be happy with red or white. My next issue is I live nowhere near a MS store and I need to do it as an upgrade under contract
Hopefully it is true nonetheless.

You're in the UK, right?
Matte cyan and grey are coming later. Probably not before December.

knew i wasn't going mad. can't wait for tomorrow, if i walk out with a 920 i'll be a very happy man.
& yeah, it is HUGE, though the store had the dummy next to a samsung note 2 so it seemed a bit smaller in comparison to that behemoth.
Wait, let me get this straight: The Lumia 920 is being sold officially in Canada and Nokia is still enforcing NDAs on people? My god they are really incompetent, is like they are stuck in the times qhen they could announce a phone and release it a year and half later (nokia n8, n97, xpress mucis 5800 and many more)

I didn't realise that P4U had some sort of exclusive with the 8x as well, are they a preferred windows partner?
I hope this clears up P4U confusion, took this photo this evening in P4U
that does help thanks, but still leaves the question, is Sim Free the same as unlocked...

Thanks! Good stuff.
I asked them on the phone and they said yes.
For the more technical folks among us, this link is extremely useful: http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/What's_new_in_Windows_Phone_8
I'm at work so I can't dig in too much. But, of note, are the sections on File associations (apps can register for certain extensions and when a file of that type is selected in the email, office, or browser apps, the app can be launched) and Custom protocols (the ability for an app to deep link into other apps)

OMG thank you PG2G for that link .
So the reviews, I think they elected for HTC to go first

MICROSOFT not Nokia has dev units still under NDA. No different really from Apple who always keeps all their iOS stuff and come phone stuff (e.g. accessories program) under NDA.

I'm imagining not in this case, even Nokia uk has tweeted the handsets are EE locked guess someone will find out tomorrow, the store I was in weren't expecting stock till Saturday but they are calling to let me know and said they'd hold an 8x and 920 for me, so I think they are expecting slow sales.

Excellent link there. I'm going to start on a WP8 app in the near future, probably this weekend, after I digest some of this information.
I've got a couple of ideas here and there, so we'll see which one I want to flesh out.
Yeah sorry but these "Dev" units come in retail AT&T boxes. An NDA is absolutely ridiculous.
I'm gonna fall asleep tonight to that sample of "Hello world" in all the different languages.
Nokia said on twitter that sim free handsets from P4U would still be locked to EE.
Well if I have to wait one month, I could probably pull it off, but only if they announce it sooner.
For those of us waiting on AT&T... the funny part is we're going to be going through this same thing when WP8.1 and WP8.5 come out
Yeah the wait is killing me. However, we're getting close to Black Friday, so I hope I'll have the strength to keep waiting until then.
And I never even received the Tango update for my original Focus.
