Nokia pins price, release date and availability for the Lumia 1520, 1320 and 2520: AT&T nabs exclusive

AT&T just announced it will be the exclusive carrier of the Nokia Lumia 1520 phablet in the US, at a price yet to be revealed. It will also carry Nokia's first modern tablet, the Lumia 2520, and the rumblings are that we will see both stacked on carrier shelves as soon as November.

Nokia, however, pegged the unsubsidized prices for both the Lumia 1520 ($749), its midrange sidekick the Lumia 1320 ($339), and its Windows RT tablet 2520 ($499). The last two are very competitively priced and seem to have every chance of success for the value they offer.

The Lumia 1520 is priced as a flagship, but given the unique specs it offers, no wonder. Here are the direct quotes from Nokia for pricing and availability:

Presented in red, cyan, white and black, the Nokia Lumia 2520 will initially be available for sale in the US, UK and Finland at an estimated price of USD 499 before local taxes and subsidies. It will be spreading to other markets shortly after.

The Nokia Lumia 1520 is expected to begin selling this quarter in Hong Kong, Singapore, the United States, China and Europe (including Finland, France, Germany, and the UK), followed by other markets; and it has an estimated price of around USD 749 before local taxes and subsidies.

The Nokia Lumia 1320 will be available in a choice of orange, yellow, black, or white, and is planned to be available first in China and Vietnam in early 2014, followed by other Asian markets, India and European markets. It carries an estimated price of USD 339 before local taxes and subsidies.

Great that you're changing things up, but trolling as hard as you did still baffles me.

"this lumia phone beat note and any other droid in every field...stop lying to yourself" That's what's called an OPINION. The truth is there's no such thing as the best or the truth in smartphones, only what's best for YOU.

One carrier vs. four. S4, G2 and iPhone 5S are available on all carriers, so compare their sales to the 1020 and you'll clearly see what I'm saying.

Personally dislike the design of the camera hump on the back, but if this wasn't exclusive to AT&T I'd seriously consider it.

lets be honest you have problems seeing 1520 better then note 3 because you a loyal brand owner and I understand that.....but when the motorola droids on verizon was selling no one was upset it was on 1 carrier, but since at&t have it, or should I say one carrier have it you have a problem......and I know you know what I am talking about, it was the era before galaxy took over and droid on verizon was king of droids, even I wanted one on at&t but we kept getting whack ones.....but at that time you did not see it as a fail....lets face it theres something you do not like if its 1520 then fine do not like it, if its at&t then dnt like them either, if its the 1520 being better then your note 3 no need to be upset just tell yourself at night note 3 better at the end of the day these companies make stuff to make us happy I am just glad they made something that made me happy

Yes, I am invested in what Verizon offers. I even considered the 928, but it didn't suit my needs. The 929 looks every bit the G2/S4 challenger. How is that worthless? Seems to me it will appeal to more customers than the oversized 1520.

Let me clarify roldefol: The 929 is rumored for Verizon. There is a strong likelihood that it will come, and hopefully it will be according to the rumored specs. If it is, then I agree a 5" device with the 1520's specs would have broader appeal and even more of my attention. However, if history is any indication, we will not see anything like this until about 6 months after the launch of the 1520 on ATT. I got my 928 on Verizon in May of 2013, when the 920 had a global release and went exclusively to ATT in the U.S. in November 2012. There's another downside to Verizon getting one-off revisions of Lumias as well: quality control. Nokia will invest more resources into the production of its flagship and global phone of the 1520 than it will into the Verizon exclusive 929. As a 928 owner on his third replacement device, I know this firsthand.
