[Fan_620]

Hi Nokia!

I'm really eager to buy Lumia 620 which is the best budget phone out there right now. Especially those dual-shot color covers are very sleek! L620 has already released in Russia, UK, USA, India etc. Can you give me more accurate release date in Finland than just "Spring 2013"? I know Finland isn't the most important market zone for Nokia nowadays but we Finns would appreciate if you didn't keep us waiting too long.

Thanks in advance and good luck to MWC 2013!

Unfortunately, as this is a user to user forum no-one can answer that question here. You can keep checking with your local retailers to see when they expect to start selling the 620 or you could import one from one of the European countries where it has been released. You will still have a valid warranty if you choose to do this.

Yes, it's supposed to be Q1, but Nokia still haven't released a date for Finland even at the end of Feb. You can take a chance with an advance order at Verkkokauppa, so at least you stand a chance of being among the first (you can cancel anytime). Gigantti tend to sell very slightly cheaper on phones, but this is unlikely with a new launch. Or you can look at the HTC 8S which has almost identical, possibly better specification. I have a Lumia 920 and am quite happy with it and planned on getting 620s for some forthcoming birthday presents. However, Nokia can't even give us a release date, and this uncertainty is very bad marketing because I'd probably be happy to wait if I knew when the 620 would be available -- surely the decent thing to do in one's 'home' market! As it is, I've got fed up, don't expect a competetive release price in Finland (speculation, yes, but not untypical), and have cancelled my pre-order for some slighly more expensive but much, much higher specification Samsungs. Too much loyalty is being asked from Finns in my view. At the time of writing you can get a 620 from Amazon UK, for example, for around 250 euros.
