Readers at WMPoweruser have noted that the launch of Nokia Lumia 920 in India is just around the corner. Vodafone stores are currently taking pre-orders for the handset, with a delivery promised for the 17th January.  Some e-retail websites like Saholic are also accepting pre-orders with delivery promised on the 15th January.

The down payment of the pre-orders is Rs. 2000 ($37) with the final price, according to Nokia representatives, rounding out to Rs 30,000 ($550). If that turns out to be true, then that is an amazing price for a phone which packs PureMotion HD+ ClearBlack display screen, PureView v2 camera and Microsoft’s latest Windows Phone 8.  The price would come around to be the same or slightly cheaper than Samsung’s Android flagship – Galaxy S3 – in India. With the Lumia 920 being Nokia’s ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ in the smartphone race it is expected to be priced competitively to grab a fair marketshare.

The Lumia 920 will be available through other authorized retailers across the country this month, but Saholic seems to be among the first to take pre-orders for Nokia’s WP8 flagship handset. The wait has been a long one for the subcontinent users, perhaps Nokia would make it worth with a stellar pricing.
