Nokia Lumia 1520 Available In Europe For Pre-Order At €700

During the time when US carriers were announcing the Nokia Lumia 1520 for their own networks, people from across the globe were left wondering as to how much would this $750 device cost in their own region. Well, at least people living in Europe have nothing left to wonder about anymore. The new Lumia 1520 went on pre-order earlier today for a staggering price of €700 ( £596 ).

While Nokia’s new phablet may be good, it certainly seem like a very hefty price to pay for a mobile device. People are more used to seeing new handsets at $600-$650 (£370 – £400) price range, and are hoping that Nokia pushes down the price of the Lumia 1520 to that range in the not-so-distant future.

Interestingly, initial availability info pointed to the UK, Germany and France as the first countries to get the Lumia 1520, but apparently there are no stores to be found in those countries that offer the phablet.

Meanwhile, word from our sources is that the Lumia 1520 will end up for Rs. 49,990 in India, overshadowing the massive price tag attached to the Lumia 1020, owners of which purchased their device for Rs. 45,000, in the Indian sub-continent.
