Nokia Lumia 925 Availability

[MushroomCloud]

Does anyone perhaps know when the Lumia 925 will be available from MTN?

Don't know, but take note of this as being a potential problem ..

This phone suffers from poor signal and death grip issues with buzzing sounds in calls. Go read Vodafone E forums

"Grip of Death"

The 925 signal is terrible. I love the phone but if you pick it up the signal drops, that's IF you are lucky enough to get a signal in the first place. Lots of people have had this problem. I am exchanging mine for the 920. such a shame because it is a fantastic handset

Thanks I O U for the heads up.

I'm still keen on the phone though... and I'm now due for upgrade. The wait is killing me. My new gadget itch is here, and it's difficult to scratch knowing I can just get a 920 today, or wait an indeterminate amount of time for a 925...

By the way, from the GSM Arena review:

The aluminum also has another function - it serves as an antenna. The antenna in the grame design became infamous with the iPhone 4, which suffered from the so-called "death grip". That's when touching the metal would compromise reception.

Nokia has promised that the Lumia 925 is immune against it and, indeed, we didn't experience any signal drops. No matter how hard we tried, the phone didn't suffer any signal loss. Kudos to Nokia for pulling that one off.
