Mobile phone users in Ireland interested in the purchase of a Windows Phone 8.1 smartphone can now look out for the offers available on the Nokia Lumia 930 and Lumia 635 smartphones in this country.

The flagship Windows Phone 8.1 device is currently expected to arrive on shelves there via Carphone Warehouse, and should sport a price tag of €429.99 ($584) SIM-free, it seems.

The info comes from a flyer that emerged over at NokiaNewsIreland.com, which also unveils that users will be able to purchase the smartphone on the networks of Meteor Mobile and Emobile.

No specific info on when the mobile phone will become available for purchase in Ireland has been provided as of now, but it appears that the phone will be much cheaper when compared to other countries in Europe.

Apparently, Lumia 930 is not the only Windows Phone 8.1 handset that Carphone Warehouse brings to this market, as Lumia 635 has already become available for purchase through it.

The handset is available via this retailer without the signing of a contract agreement, with a price tag of between €149 ($202) and €169 ($230), depending on the carrier you go for.

Following the release of Nokia Lumia 630 several weeks ago, Lumia 930 and Lumia 635 have seen expanded availability on various markets in Europe and elsewhere, and it seems that a global rollout is set to kick off very soon.

In fact, WPCentral has found out that the Lumia 930 is coming to Ukraine too in the near future, and that pre-orders for the device have already kicked off via local retailer Allo.

The mobile phone sports a price tag of 7,999 UAH ($678/€500), SIM-free, and is expected to start shipping as soon as the next week, on July 15.

For those out of the loop, we should note that Lumia 930 was made official with a 5-inch full HD screen, a 2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, and 2GB of RAM. The phone sports 32GB of internal memory, but no microSD memory card slot.

On the back, the handset sports a 20MP camera, paired with a front camera for making video calls, and all the usual connectivity capabilities and sensors.

Lumia 635, on the other hand, features a 4.5-inch screen, a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, and 512MB of RAM. It also packs 8GB of internal memory, and a microSD memory card slot with support for up to 128GB of external storage.

The handset sports a 5MP camera on the back, and arrives on shelves with 4G LTE connectivity, being the cheapest Windows Phone 8.1 device to include the capability.
