14 DAY TRIAL // Nokia’s Windows Phone 8 devices have already been said to be en-route to the market starting next month, and more proof on the matter is now available.
The company’s Nokia Lumia 820 is now listed on a coming soon page at The Carphone Warehouse, with a November 2012 release date attached to it, but with no info on the price tag it will feature when launched.
Users interested in the new device should head over to this page on the retailer’s website to register for updates on the device’s availability.
Packing a 4.3-inch touchscreen display and a dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 processor inside, the handset should provide users with an appealing experience, especially with the new Windows Phone 8 operating system loaded on top of it.
“The Nokia Lumia 820 is a beautifully simple to use smartphone with a slender look and 4.3" HD screen. With a stunning camera and even 4G support for faster mobile internet, it's state of the art,” the retailer notes.
The specifications list of this device also includes an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with support for full HD video recording, as well as a front camera for making video calls.
“The 8MP camera, combined with a Smart Shoot feature lets you take multiple photos with a single click so you can edit photos effortlessly to make the perfect picture. This is great if a friend of yours always times their blinks for when you're pressing the capture button,” the company notes.
The smartphone also arrives on shelves with a variety of features powered by Microsoft’s mobile operating system, including Office 365, social networking, mapping, Xbox LIVE, the Bing search engine, and more.
“You'll also get Nokia City Lens. Launch it to reveal an on-the-street view of what's around you with your camera's viewfinder. Instantly see all the cool, hidden places, like the cozy, local restaurants behind the big-brand tourist traps,” The Carphone Warehouse continues.
As MyNokiaBlog notes, it’s rather interesting that the retailer does not list the Nokia Lumia 920 on its website as well. However, the handset will be available through wireless carriers in the country, just as previously reported.
