The most advanced Windows Phone 8.1 handset announced by Nokia, the Lumia 930, is about to make its debut on the market in just a few weeks.

According to numerous carriers and authorized retailers, Nokia Lumia 630 should arrive in Europe in early July, but some may have it by the end of the month.

We have reported earlier today that Lumia 930 has been confirmed to arrive in Ireland on July 3 and now it looks like another European carrier has confirmed that it will add the smartphone to its portfolio next month.

It appears that Finnish carrier Sonera will stock the Nokia Lumia 930, WPCentral reports. Moreover, the operator has just opened pre-orders for the smartphone, so customers can now pre-purchase the smartphone for €549 ($745) outright.

Windows Phone fans in Finland will be happy to know that Sonera won’t be the only carrier or retailer to offer the Lumia 930 in the country.

Saunalahti has also confirmed that it will start offering the smartphone beginning next month, while Expansys and Verkkokauppa are set to sell the Lumia 930 as well.

Each seller will have certain color options for the Lumia 930 in stock, so depending on what color you want, you will have to purchase it from a different provider.

Potential customers should know that if they pre-order the Nokia Lumia 930 from Sonera, they are likely to receive their units on July 10. This is the date that the Finnish carrier confirmed for the market release of the Lumia 930.

The other retailers and carriers in Finland have yet to confirm when exactly they will have the Windows Phone 8.1 handset in stock.

The best Windows Phone 8.1 smartphone soon to be released on the market, Lumia 930, features a hyper vibrant 5-inch full HD (1080p) AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display that comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 coating for extra protection and ClearBlack technology.

Hardware-wise, the device is equipped with a powerful 2.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, an Adreno 330 graphics processing unit and 2GB of RAM.

There’s also a range of connectivity options, including LTE Cat4., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, microUSB, NFC (Near Field Communication) and GPS with A-GPS support. It’s also worth mentioning that Lumia 930 drains energy from a 2420 mAh battery.
