WP Central

Coming to the U.s. on October 21st? Not likely.

Rum: 4

File this nether wishful thinking and possibly truthful but BGR'due south Geller personally posted that they've confirmed through sources the AT&T launch appointment for the Nokia Lumia 920. On Tracour, BGR.com only has a 52% average rating on rumor accurateness, then take this rumor with some skepticism.

The flagship Windows Phone from Nokia is reportedly going to launch on October 21^st—a traditional Sunday launch for the visitor. In addition, the Samsung Galaxy Note Two volition launch the aforementioned twenty-four hour period. That contradicts earlier rumors from the Verge and TechRadar who suggested Nov 2d--the final solar day of Microsoft's Build '12.

That date, if accurate, is certainly earlier than the November time frame that many have come to expect. If AT&T and Nokia can pull it off, it will surely be a huge win for the OS and the Finnish visitor as uncertainty about the release has plagued them ever since the September 5^th annunciation.

Hmmm...

Skepticism?

AT&T has not even officially announced that they are getting the Lumia 920, though it has long been speculated seeing every bit they are the "premier" Windows Phone partner in the Usa. What's more than, to our knowledge, Windows Telephone viii Os has not been finalized or released-to-manufactures (RTM) which makes this early date slightly doubtable. We should also mention there is no finalized, official SDK yet either. That does non bode well for the thought that this telephone is coming out so early.

So again, with all the force per unit area Microsoft and Nokia are nether, perhaps some tardily night struggling and corner cutting take been implemented to get this out the door sooner than later.

Or perchance we are seeing a pre-lodge day and not one for an actual launch.

No cost was appear though we're going to estimate that $199 on contract seems to be a off-white pricing indicate for the flagship phone. Volition Nokia undercut that and become for $150? Too early on to tell.

Edit: Due to some personal communications with others in the tech field since we commencement published, we've downgraded this to a iv on the rum'o'meter from a 6.
