While TheVerge and TechRadar corroborate the 2 November 2012 date for the launch of the Lumia 920 in the US, WMPowerUser brings us news that the phone will be selling in Germany by the middle of October this year.

Speculated pricing is as follows:
- Germany - 600 Euro ($758, £476) and
- Other European countries - 450 Euro ($568, £357) - two weeks later.
- This is in comparison to the SIII, which sells in the same markets for 580 Euro

Note: The German courts' pet peeve is a Samsung mobile phone. I think they are all banned there or at least one of their tablets is.

Nokia is definately going for competitive pricing.

Its a shame because just yesterday I saw a Lumia 900 being sold at Autopage for R379/mth while a Galaxy SIII was being sold for R299/mth. Nokia should really work on promoting its devices in SA.

If I buy one in Europe can I use it in SA?

I think you need to check the frequency on which the specific device you are buying works on and compare that to the frequencies of the network that you will be using here in South Africa.

I don't know if there are any other limitations but I would start from there.

The frequencies of the mobile device are normally detailed on www.gsmarena.com while those of your local network can either be checked on your mobile ISP's website or on a mobile Internet connection's dashboard.
