Well i know it is not offical but rumour is that Rogers is going to be the exclusive carrier for the lumia 920 in canada and i have no plan to leave my carrier because rogers service is very poor in my area so my question is where do you buy a unlocked/unbranded nokia phone?I know you can get them on ebay but those are usually unlocked AT&T phones but i would like a unbranded lumia 920.

[palandri]

Watch NewEgg, MobileCityOnline, and Amazon. eBay may have imports once they are released.

yeah it's exclusive to rogers (like the 900) since telus and bell confirmed they won't be carrying it. buying off contract is going to most likely set you back a huge number of loonies. Rogers in my area is still on EDGE lol


I was disapointed BUT I actually think I like the HTC X8 better myself

[f1camaro]

Yeah it sucks that nokia has such a great phone and sales will be hindered by not being more available to all the major carriers.I will probably end up getting a samsung windows phone,i am pretty sure bell will get the samsung.I like the 8x but i said if i get another phone under contract it had to have a bigger screen and atleast 32 gb of storage,i have a focus now with a 32gb card.The samsung is the best fit for me but the design of the nokia is just so great its too bad they couldn't get more carrier support because i really think they have a hit on their hands but it will probably sell no better than the 900 did because like me alot of people won't leave their current carrier.Rogers really have a bad reputation here in new brunswick and just from what i have read on these forums AT&T isn't much better.Its ashame really but i am sure nokia must have tried to get more carriers onboard but then again i don't know the politics involved in getting carriers for phones but anyways if the 920 lives up to what nokia claims it will be a great device and it looks great.

agreed... I worked for Rogers and still wouldn't switch from bell even with a 60% discount.

Rogers will give you an unlock code in-store for $50. Make enough noise and they may even unlock it for you if you already have a micro SIM for it. (the phone will prompt you for the unlock code once you put in a different carrier SIM) It's what I'm planning to do at launch. :) As far as carrier branding goes, my current HD7 doesn't have a Bell splash screen, the 900 I played with at Rogers didn't have a Rogers splash screen, and same with the 800 I checked out at TELUS. As far as the carrier apps, they are all easily uninstalled, so a Canadian device, once unlocked, as almost as good as unbranded, and a LOT cheaper.

[f1camaro]

Thats something i will have to look at.I just hope i can be patient.lol.Because in canada when you sign a contract it is for 3 years and if i am going the contract route i need to be very sure about what phone i want.And seeing that i pay a cell phone bill every month anyways i should get the subsidized phone price.Hard to decide until i get to hold the phones in my hand and see them in person.Thats the problem with wanting a smartphone,even if you do pick the one you like the best 3-6 months down the road another phone will come out that i will want more.lol.Wish i liked android,i would get a samsung note 2 no question about it but i love windows phone and have no plans on ever switching.

You can try outlets in the middle east - specifically in the Arabian Gulf region (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, etc..) - Phones are factory unlocked and are pentaband. I personally have a friend in Kuwait who's gonna ship me a White L920 to the US. Some websites like Axiom Telecom - Maximum Communication might ship internationally. Give them a try!

No way I'm paying AED 2499 for a 920.

That converts to $680 USD. Too much?

[snaqvi91]

Yeah I can get it for Cad 621 after tax from Rogers.

Unlocked though? I know it means nothing if you're with Rogers but for non-Rogers people it matters. That site will also have other colours on Dec 2nd.

I've seen other sites selling them for $1000 after tax/shipping.

[tai4de2]

I'll believe *any* RM_821 device (basically all 920's outside the US and Canada) has pentaband UMTS only when I've seen confirmed reports of it working on T-Mobile in a non-refarmed area in the US, or on WIND in Canada.

In particular I don't trust the specs on Nokia's web site.

That's $680 for a factory unlocked Lumia 920 (pentaband) - I highly doubt you'll find a better offer at the moment!

[MDak280]

But you also have to take shipping into account. After shipping it would probably cost around $710-20ish, I would guess. But it still is the cheapest around!

[soxoh4]

Can a non Rogers customer buy from Rogers? would they sell it to me? I could unlock it with a code online after but I can't imagine they'd sell me one off contract?

[MDak280]

I think I recall another member saying that Rogers wouldn't sell him one since he's in the States, but I'm not exactly sure. It wouldn't hurt to call them and ask.

I would email or call them, but since they only carry the black 920 I'd rather buy from somewhere else.

Edit: Oh, I thought you were asking if you were outside of Canada and tried buying from them. But if you're in Canada, but with a different service provider I think you should be able to buy from them by paying the full price of the phone.

[soxoh4]

Thanks, buying direct from them would probably be the cheapest and fastest as I'm in Canada. From Ebay I've gotten stung with import fees before.

Oh yeah I didn't think of that. I'm with rogers anyway.

I'm going to the UAE soon so I won't have to pay shipping.

Well I guess ur trip to UAE couldn't have come at a better time XD

[namja29]

In Thailand you can get the 920 for 21000 bht or $ 700... in all colors .

[tai4de2]

Is it actually on sale yet in Thailand? Where specifically did you get yours?

[neonstar]

I am in Thailand for business, and I found lumia920 in some Nokia store. But the guy in the store didn't know exactly whether it's unlocked and support LTE. If it is so, I really want to buy one.

[dumeng]

In indonesia u will get brandnew lumia 920 for just 620$ on the pre-order event, factory unlock and pentaband.

It's the cheapest in the world i think..
