Nokia launched the Lumia 920 in the UK a few months ago, but the smartphone was exclusive to EE (Everything Everywhere) carrier.

Last month UK-based operators Vodafone and Three announced they would be carrying the Nokia Lumia 920 as well. However, neither offered more details the phone’s availability and pricing options.

Two days ago Vodafone UK announced the Lumia 920 was made available for purchase, and now Three listed the smartphone on its “Coming Soon” page, along with the budget-friendly Lumia 620.

Obviously, that’s good news, but Three UK customers will have to wait until February in order to get either of the two Windows Phone 8.

Still, given the carrier’s low rates on plans and services, Windows Phone enthusiasts will probably want to wait for Three to bring the handsets on its network.

There are no additional details on the phones’ exact release date or price tag, but we can safely assume Lumia 920 and 620 are likely to be available for free on 24-month plans.

Those who wish to be notified on Lumia 920 can now register on Three UK’s website here. We will keep an eye out on this one as well, so stay tuned for more updates.

The best Windows Phone handset on the market, the Lumia 920 comes with a stunning 4.5-inch PureMotion HD+ ClearBlack display that supports 768 x 1280 pixels resolution, and features Corning Gorilla Glass 2 coating.

The entry-levels Lumia 620 sports a much smaller 3.8-inch ClearBlack display with 480 x 800 pixels resolution.

Another major difference between the two smartphones is that the Lumia 920 is powered by a 1.5 GHz dual-core CPU, whereas the Lumia 620 packs a 1 GHz dual-core processor. It is also worth mentioning that the former features 1GB of RAM, while the latter comes with only 512MB of RAM.
