    I think that the idea there might be a 720 is wrong, because they are avoiding the number due to connetations with windows phone 7?

    Nice phone - hopefully they'll advertise it properly, (in which case I think it could sell very well).

    Only downside is that ... is it me, or does the 620 make the 820 look a little bit on the expensive side?

    Think they should have run with this 620 first. The fact it has an Micro SD slot as well a reasonable specs makes this a good mid range media device and phone. The 920 is simply over priced and the 820 is really expensive too. This 620 seems to be a good all rounder.

    It looks very nice for such a low end phone. Should sell very well - especially as it nearly looks as nice as the 820.

    I wonder if they'll release covers that support wireless charging, that would be nice.

    Agreed.. This 620 could be Nokia's saviour and it has a MicroSD slot! It compares to the HTC 8s well, though I prefer the matte finish on the HTCs to the "shiny" exterior of the Nokias. To be honest, I'll probably get a rubber case if I get either a HTC or a Nokia.

    I just wish Nokia and Microsoft would learn how to release a product properly. I don't like to hear about a phone that I'm inevitably going to have to wait 5 months for a release in the UK. A lot happens in 5 months.

    I'd have loved to have waited.. and waited.. and waited.. and waited for the 920, and I had every intention to, but I *needed* a new one when my old one eventually failed halfway through the waiting. Ultimately, they lost a customer to the S3.

    Looks nice, if it had Android I would probably buy one cos I've always liked Nokia since mobiles became popular. I like Windows on my Pc but I've use Android forever and love it.

    Btw, the Nexus 4(16GB only) is back up FOR SALE!! But it will only ship in 5-6 weeks which isn't that bad if you really want one, and if you do reaaaalyy want one I would order before they sell out again which is guaranteed in a few days imo. If my damn washing machine hadn't conked out I would be ordering one :cries:

    You don't really need clean clothes, do you? I mean, they don't love you like the Nexus 4 would...

    620 may shift as long as it is promoted on Nokia brand / Lumia and not 'Windows phone'.
