The Lumia 920 will arrive in pentaband LTE and HSPA+ variants and both are expected to ship "in selected markets" later this year.
"Later this year"?
I hate it when companies do this. Hate hate HATE it.
"Here's something awesome! Want it? OK, come back a few months from now and we'll sell you one. What? No, we can't tell you exactly when. We can't even tell you yet what it will cost. It'll be a few months, and cost some amount of money, that's all you need to know."
Then the few months pass, all the hype dies away, and when the device launches for real, nobody buys one.
I'm sure there's a marketing rationale for doing things this way, but I can't see it. What good is all this press attention now, when you can't actually take orders for the thing the press is raving about? When your ability to do so is so far away that you can't even give a specific date?
