Wonder when will they come to SA as I might get one of em before I drop R10K for a 920. Can always hand it to the kids when I am done with it.

OP, you beat me to it. I see the video was posted on YouTube 3 hours ago.

As for the price, I think it should be R2999 at most. Which will then drop to R1999 by the end of 2013. It is the replacement for the 610, pretty much what the 920 is to the 900 and what the 820 is to the 800.

Currently, you can get the 610 for R1999 with headphones from CNA or other place.

The company is pricing the Lumia 620 at $249 (190 euros / ZAR2,185), shipping in January in Asia-Pacific and Middle East markets initially with availability in Europe and other markets to follow. TheVerge

where is the 820?

Quite relieved that they didn't limit multitasking like in the 610, mmm.... like that lime green one ;0)

where is the 820?

From Cell C's brochure for 1 Dec 2012 to 31 January 2013.

Everybody else is pretty mum about the 820. Not to say Cell C is doing a great job of announcing its own scoop.

The proposed 1300 mAh battery has put me off getting one of these.
Will wait to read reports on how well it performs in that area, or not.

At least the 820 & 920 come with 1650 & 2000 mAh batteries, respectively.
Even then, there's been variable battery time usage reported on the 920.

Time to now probably wait for a 720 ?
And see if that has at least a 1550 mAh included ....

Internal 8 GB storage, 512 MB RAM
microSD, up to 64 GB

Should handle voice on Skype, but maybe not video that well or at all ?

If you read the comments after this review (below), some are of the opinion that even 512 will be too little, so the main or only real negatives for this phone are the battery & RAM.
