Seems Expansys wants to charge the earth for the Nokia 800. Nokia themselves stated that the phone would sell for around €420.00. I certainly will not pay Expansys £494.00 for it.
http://www.expansys.com/nokia-lumia-800-uk-black-16gb-224952/
deffo not you can get it on buymobilephones for 18 months at £25 so total = £450 even if you dont want the contract its a better price but you could always use the mins etc plus its like paying on intrest free credit.
But I want to buy an unbranded and ulocked device; I hate being carrier tagged!! If you know where I can get one at realistic price (not Expansys!!) let me know.
That's cool though I should point out there is zero branding on my lumps not even a splash so would only need to be sum unlocked. I will let you know if I find any at a good price.

If you buy from places like buymobilephones, mobiles.co.uk, carphonewarehose, phones4u you do get a unbranded and unlocked device. I think phones 4 u are selling for 399 sim free.

Hey everyone! Much thanks to xda forums for help finally getting my Lumia 900 unlocked! Now I want a 920, but do not want the headache or hassle of dealing with AT&T again. Any recommendations on where to buy unbranded Nokia Lumia 920's?

I asked negrielectronics if the Lumia 920 they have in pre-order are unbranded but I did not get any answer.

Any reason why these unlocked phones are fetching a $200 - $350 premium over AT&T no-contract unlock price at 3rd party sites? Could we expect price to drop once AT&T starts to sell?

Probably because AT&T off contract does not mean unlocked.

I think because the non-commitment $449 at-t price still *requires* you to sign up for a data plan and it won't be unlocked. Look at the fine print on their website when you select the device.
Does anyone know if is there anyway to buy an unlocked lumia 920 here in Canada?
Cheers

Expansys.ca offers several unlocked Lumia 920's at various prices. I am trying to determine if there will be any problems if I order the AT&T unlocked version.

Apparently the initial batch were in fact unlocked. However that may have been an oversight? The Rogers 920 "launch" was today, and new phones could be locked. In any event, when they did have an unlocked 920 in Calgary here they wouldn't sell it to me without signing up to a plan

I've been in 3 strores. There is no Lumia 920 model yet, and they said that will be locked only for Rogers.

I have a contact in Expansys. I've sent an email asking the availability here.
I could buy one locked from Rogers (they said that will receive the shipments tomorrow), and try to get an unlock code.
With Lumia 900, was easy to unlock Rogers lumia phones. Maybe the 920 will follow the same path.

Let me know how that works out. I didn't think Rogers was selling them without a monthly plan. I've emailed expansys as well...
A guy said that $599 for a phone off contract plus 50 for unlock and then tax.

You might as well sign up for a monthly plan and then cancel the next day. The typical difference between a hardware purchase vs month to month purchase is $50 (h/w purchase costs more). Sign up for the cheapest plan ($27) and you'll still be ahead.

As a rule of thumb assume that the people in the store have no idea what they're talking about.
When the initial batch was released I went looking for one in the Rogers store; the woman in the store repeatedly told me it was locked and reports to the contrary were incorrect.

Don't think there is an unlock code available for the AT&T 920 as yet, is there?
The other option is to pick up one from Clove in the UK. About $630 for the unlocked white version. Add shipping, GST/PST/HST and brokerage to that and you are probably looking at close to the $750 mark.

Expansys only sells unlocked phones. Also, Negri has the AT&T 920 up for pre-order as well. Of course, MMS and tethering could be a problem with an unlocked AT&T device on someone else's network. Grrrr I really wish Nokia had a clue. Great phone but it is almost as if they are deliberately trying to anger early adopters and enthusiasts, especially here in Canada.

Wow! Expansys Canada is asking $800 for an unlocked, white 920. As for Negri, all of the AT&T will be locked and presumably will be difficult to get unlock codes for a few months. The only option is Rogers (and hope it's unlocked) or Clove (and pay the premium price).

So Expansys is selling the AT&T phones locked for $654.99? Are you sure. What would be the point? The more I think about this the more I am starting to despise Nokia...

If you end up doing that, try to also do a manual network scan and see if Wind shows up.
Wow, I'm feeling really lucky now. I bought mine from Rogers unlocked. The kicker was that someone bought it before me and then returned it. So I was able to buy it without a contract and also for 50% off. So that's $300 for an unlocked Rogers phone then brought it to Telus who currently have a deal going on where if you bring in an unlocked phone they give you $100 credit. So, all in all, the phone had cost me $200. SCORE! Chances are... I'm probably going to get coal for Christmas, now. lol

Is the device from the early batch?
Hi everyone, I am from India and lumia 920 havent been launched yet in my country. I would like to know the price of unlocked lumia 920 in each of your countries so that we can analyse where is the least price and will be a help to prospective buyers. Do contribute a minute.....:fingers-crossed:
I'm from Viet Nam and the price is 13.999.000VND (around US$670). In the bundle, there are basically a Lumia 920, a Wireless Charging Plate, a Microsoft Wireless Mouse and an optional gift from the seller.
I think malaysia has lowest price
Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 launched in malaysia main stores for RM1,999 (approx. $655) and RM1,599 (approx. $525) respectively. I think this is the best price for L920.
Common guys post the price in ur country.
I got mine in Germany for 597 euros (~770 USD) in the 2nd week of November...
I'm from Romania;
here the price for standard black and white NL920 is about 700 euro's.
I've ordered my phone from Germany (the single place were I found the yellow model) and I paid for it with all txes 802 Euro.
Here in finland its about 600€.
A non contract Nokia Lumia 920 from AT&T is $449 + tax here in the US, and they are including a Wireless Charging Plate for free for a limited time (it ships separately from the phones). AT&T is the exclusive carrier for the 920 here in the US.

It depends on what the taxes are in your state, county, etc. Where are you at? Also, are you an AT&T customer? I am not sure if they will sell to a non customer, or somebody from another country.
It cost in Saudi Arabia $666.4
Indonesia
It cost Rp 6500000 (US 665), Pre Order Rp 5500000 (US 560)...
$696 here in Australia outright on the Telstra Network. Cheapest price in the country, even when grey importing.
Italy from the TIM store for €599. Best part is that every phone in Italy is sold unlocked.
I managed to get one brand new in box for 499 off contract in Canada (Rogers black edition)
So far, it looks like AT&T in the US has the cheapest, non contract price.

I don't plan on changing carriers, so that's not a big deal. Also, you can use it on Straight Talk, as you can any AT&T branded phone.

None of the current websites are able to unlock the phones yet. I tried all of them and they all refunded my money. They said to wait 3-4 weeks till their database get updated with the new phones.

What is your production date?
Mine is 45/2012 and still no unlock codes available
If you need to unlock it asap, Rogers can do it for $50.
Does anyone know if its possible get a Rogers Nokia Lumia 920 from Rogers if you are in the US?
I've heard you need a prepaid account.

You do, you need a pay as you go account with $50 plus applicable taxes for them to unlock it for you, they charge the $50 fee to that account.

and no one else should encourage this!
I Just got my unlock code from unlock.gsmcanada.com
i tried cellunlocker first. They couldn't unlock it.
gsmcanada took a Whole Day.
my build was 45/2012.
Some have been successful will Rogers 920. I personally was able to get 2 of 3 unlocked from cellunlocker.net
I think the ones that haven't been able to get unlocked at all are the AT&T ones.
I just unlocked 18 out of 20 Rogers 920's yesterday using CellPhoneUnlock.net and they were only charging $14.99, today I went back and they've raised the price to $49.99! Cellunlocker.net is now charging $39.99 (up from $14.99 too), so maybe this is a sign that unlocking these devices has been really popular and they're having a harder time getting codes.

I bought mine at $500 + 13% tax and was lucky enough to have it unlocked for $15 at cellunlocker (they just increased the price 2 1/2 times).
Yes, this one is pentaband (I'm using it on an AWS Canadian carrier 1700-2100 MHz). I've heard that you could flash the ATT one with the Rogers firmware and make it pentaband. The issue is unlocking it

I purchased it from canadagsm.ca. They charge about $30 for shipping, but they have a retail location in the GTA, 4 mins from my workplace, so I went to pick it up there instead
They have the 820 unlocked for $568. Not sure if that one is pentaband, though.

Thanks for the info! Was about to purchase it for $599 at rogers off contract. The one listed on the Canada GSM website doesn't show the 1700 band
3G Network HSDPA 850/900/1900/2100
I'm assuming they just forgot it? Can you confirm if your manual/box lists the 1700 band on it for 3G as I plan to use it on Wind Mobile.
