Nokia Lumia 1020 : 41MP! Windows Phone

[MessiaaH]

And to plug any remaining loopholes u mite be looking for, you have to use d vat free price, because yUh does pay vat from the country you're in. If you buy a phone from amazon, be it iPhone or s4, you going to pay yUh 35% when it reach Trini, but buying from clove has an extra bonus, they send smartphones as mobile computers, so tax free to Trini, lol. For Trini clove is d best place to buy launch phones.

But when some months past, you go find various other sellers going for cheaper than clove, but at launch, you can't beat clove. Also, is d UK model of the phone yUh getting, which means no gay AT&T shenanigans blocking features like internet sharing etc.

YUh satisfied now? Lol, like u eh take meh Arnold pic boy lol.

[TriniXaeno]

if only that was true

I attempted to buy the black phone and voila....SALT immc (see below)

better than that man messiaah.

Amazon at the RIDICULOUS price remains the only viable link. As mentioned before, happy if you can provide an alternative.

[MessiaaH]

Wyatt, yuh starting to come across like ah rel noob eh.

I purchased many times from clove, i preorder my 920, whatever is d price displayed u going to pay that at maximum. I pre-order 2 920s before it release, and as soon as it avaiable, they ship it out from d first batch. My product had get ship and d item never even came in-stock, cause all d pre-orders were sold out. So on d website it remain out-of-stock, but i get my item, and they keep in constant contact with u to let u know whats d latest info they have on availbe stock.

Phoenix already tell u d phone NOW! launch, d phone aint even get properly launch in the UK yet.
Expansy and Clove and them have it on pre-order becuase they aint get stock from nokia yet.

What exactly it is u want? And why it is u complaning about the price of a phone that not available world wide yet?
If yuh want d phone now at a reasonble price, pre-order it from clove and that is d fastest place to get it. They will get it first before anybody.

That "amazon" price is fellers who buy it from at&t , use d unlock code that preston mention, and mark it up to unreasonable prices. That happens with every flagship launch phone known to man.

Dont u think before u buy d phone at a proper price it have to first be available to official channels? D phone only launch on AT&T at the moment, UK launch incoming at which time all d UK retailers like clove, expansys etc will have stock at good prices to buy. But if u want to assure yuhself one before it sell out, pre-order from clove.
They will ship straight from d UK directly to any trini address for something like 35$ US tax free.

I guarantee u yuh paying 765$ US + 35$ shipping for d phone, if u pre-order it now from clove.
If yuh not willing to pay that price, then wait a few months for price drops from them same amazon pirates.

Yuh really starting to irritate meh with this issue, seriously, better than that wyatt, yuh sounding like ah rel noob.

[TriniXaeno]

My command of the English language has not failed me

As it stands right now Clove is stating clearly in red that

1) They do not have stock

2) Your order below contains a product which is currently unavailable and its final price is unknown. Therefore you can still place the order below but no payment will be taken - you will be asked to pay for this order when those details are confirmed.

That leaves us with the option of the Amazon link I sent. Full stop.

Unless you have an alternative link, there is no other price available for an unlocked phone today. Call me noob as much as you want, the fact remains.

Note, I'm not on some hate bandwagon trying to diss the Lumia. Read up in the thread and you will see I was strongly considering this for the misses birthday.

Don't fight down the issue for fight down sake. The price is what it is....INSANE.

When that changes, do let me know.

[woodyear99]

How much duty did you pay on your phones?

that's the dead horse you have been beating...

and no one as yet disagreed that all launch price of high end smartphones are ridiculous...

what we've been saying is it WILL remain that way until the phone hits mainstream... additionally, it is the normal process of things... we get it... no need to rinse and repeat..

where you start to come of topic is by saying crap like.. its expensive compared to the nexus @ 350 and s4 @ 600... phones that have been mainstream for a few months, and also of lesser technology.. that has nothing to do with finding a reasonable price for the lumia...

if you are willing to consider this phone for your wife, my recommendation to you is WAIT... my recommendation to anybody on newly launched devices are to wait.. in a couple of months the price usually drops significantly...


next time when an nvidia device launches i should go in that product specific thread and say damn thats expensive, it have a amd card that launch 6 months ago that is cheaper

[MessiaaH]

Wyatt, yUh doing like d price is any different than any other phone at launch, its not, d iPhone 5 and gs4 was just as outrageous even more so at launch. Yes d amazon price is outrageous, but that is not official price, thats man trying to buss yUh head. If u want official price how bout u wait for d phone to get in stock at official channels.

and I dont care what clove says in red, I telling u I order from them already. I order d following from clove directly.

htc HD 1, htc HD 2, Nokia lumia 920 (preordered with d same red text displayed).

I get all of them for 750us at launch. That's d standard price for a new unlocked wp flagship from them.
I'm telling u 100% that's what u going to pay, I will even offer to buy d phone for u if when stock comes out its more than that. That's how certain I am in clove.

@woodyear, I pay a whopping price of 0$ duty from clove for ...allllll....my phones purchased.
they ship it as "mobile computer", and since Trini have no tax on pcs, is gg. All other sites ship it as "smartphone" so level duties in yUh skin.

Back to wyatt.

*Turns on scouter*
*Takes noob  level reading*

[TriniXaeno]

hahhaa @ over 9000

I like the offer to buy the phone if the price is higher than stated. Taking you up on that.

@ Phoenix, Misses birthday passed already so I got her an Iphone 5 for TT$3700. Showed her the Lumia but she insisted on the Iphone 5 (thankfully, else my VISA was going to get mandingoed by the outrageous price on Amazon for the Nokia 1020)

Did not have the liberty of waiting for the price to come down to a reasonable level.

Also, my dad's birthday just passed and grabbed him a Galaxy Note 2 on Thursday for $2300. Was considering the Nexus 4 as well.

So as you can see, I was presently in the market for new smart phones. When you see me asking time and time again for an alternative link to a cheap Nokia 1020, is not for kicks or picong.

No need to get overly defensive and to call for an end of the "dead horse" talk.

Oh "all other phones does be expensive at launch" is just blowing smoke and not answering my question at all.

[phoenix31tt]

which is what exactly?

cuz i see naught of you asking for anything... i saw plenty of repeating that the price is ridiculous and posting links on amazon... and claiming that you looked ^o)

[TriniXaeno]

Amazon at the RIDICULOUS price remains the only viable link. As mentioned before, happy if you can provide an alternative.

[phoenix31tt]

maybe your command of the english language has indeed failed you... that quote you made is NOT a question...

if you wanted a viable link you could easily find one... you know how to use google... even the popular EBAY has them for $800..

better than that... and i done they yes...

[TriniXaeno]

dont be silly phoenix, apparently your zeal to defend MicroKia is blinding you to the question....let me spell it out for you in red

As mentioned before, happy if you can provide an alternative.

Translation....please provide me with another link to where I can purchase the phone at a cheaper price.

In case you think is joke I joking, see attached as evidence of the recent purchases

[phoenix31tt]

I dont care about ur recent purchase and have no desire to defend anybody...

Honestly I expect more from you.. Go eBay search Lumia 1020 unlcoked, select buy it now as an option.. Voila...

And before I said my recommendation for buying the device is to wait neways, same one I would give for the ip5s on release...

U honestly wasting my time.. So I will stop defending microkia and leave u to ur ridiculous pricing

And Wyatt yUh doing likeyuh want a lower price NOW to buy it, but u don't, because u already made ur purchase, even if d Lumina was d same price as those other phones right now, yUh going to buy it?

your big claim to fame as to why u can't wait is because of yUh wife and pops, but u already bought them phones, so tell me why u can't wait on price to drop? What stopping u from waiting if u done buy a ip5 and note?

[TriniXaeno]

you feel is only two people I have to buy phone for? lol

Check back in this very thread and you will see that I wanted to purchase this since July. Been watching like a hawk for it to become available ever since.

Well the misses due for an upgrade and her birthday coming up.

So let us see what the price look like if it hits the market by then. lol

While my budget for a phone will never exceed US$500, it lil different when a woman involved.

So is a serious question....and it deserves a serious answer. Not no dead horse flippant talk. (watches phoenix cut eye)

[MessiaaH]

Well then yuh dont have ah problem then, becuase d phone will undoubtly get cheaper, like i say, i guarantee u clove's display price. I've never seen a wp release for more than 750~800 US. it just never happened. D only phone that does cross that mark at launch is d iphone, which usually goes for 850~900US unlocked even from official channels.

If you can wait, then just wait. But when d phone is widely available, the cheapest u will get it intially from an official shop is 750 Unlocked (clove). If u want it down to d 500$ price range, u go hadda wait ah 6 months. Which will be closer to dec-feb.

And this device going to come in limited quantities initially, (that 41mp sensor not mass produced and not easy to make). The 920 was initially in limited quantities at launch as well, because it was d first phone with OIS. Which was tricky initially as well. 6-8 months later, 920 going for 300$ and under lol.

So d ball in your cort, no need to beat ah dead horse like phoenix say. We've provided you your options.
Either u wait and get it soon (1-2months) @ 750~, or wait 5-6 months and get it for 3~400$

If those prices and time frame not lining up with when u need the devices, then just buy ah iphone or galaxy, nobody forcing yuh hand lol. But the fact that u even considering it says alot for that 41mp beast. Personally, it's worth the wait. I definately getting at least 1 for the misses this year. Whether i get 1 for myself depends on how good the 1520 is, which launching month end.

The 1520 incase u didnt know, is a galaxy note 3 (same specs), rocking a 20mp pureview OIS 6 Lens camera.......yes, it will be the mother of all phones when released. It wont have that mega 41mp cam, but the 20mp cam it go be rocking will be better than any other phone on the market sans Lumia 1020.

So i considering it hard, especially seeing the wife will have a 1020, so i go still have access to the superior cam tech when we out and about. Mite be willing to sacrifice that extra 20mp for the increased specs for the 1520. Waiting to see.

[TriniXaeno]

Thank you sir.

now dazwhawetalkinbout

a proper response

Things change in a matter of minutes on the internet...so the minute you come across another source for the phone at a better price, please share.

I expect you will be following it more closely than most of us.

The US$500 budget, to be clear, is for my personal phone. In the case of a purchase for the misses, there is no real limit. Woman have to get whatever she want else is hell to pay in the house. Had she chosen the Lumia over the Iphone, would have bought it at the stupid price on Amazon regardless (and cry for the rest of the year while washing cars @ KFC independence square to replenish savings, lol)

You know how it is.

My plan was very similar to yours....convince her to get the 1020 so I would have access to the epic camera while we are out and about together. lol

Ps no ebay links please, got burned already with schemers on ebay, not gonna risk that with a smartphone.
