Last week the carrier AT&T revealed their Nokia Lumia 1520 launch plans and today it is Microsoft’s turn. They have laid out there available and also launched a pre-order campaign for the phablet.
Microsoft seems to be putting a lot of energy into this pre launch and they are clearly heavily backing this device to succeed. If you pre-order the phone, they’ll throw in a $50 Microsoft Store app card as well as an $20 app gift card provided by Nokia.
The perks don’t end their either as there’s also a free Lumia 1520 flip cover (valued at $39.99) included as well. And finally for gaming fans there’s a free download of Halo: Spartan Assault for Windows Phone to really put the icing on the cake. Bravo Microsoft.
The offer comes to an end on November 21 and the device starts shipping the next day. In terms of price the Nokia Lumia 1520 sells for $199 and will initially be available in black, red and white, with yellow to come later this year.
$549 off contract is a a pretty good price. We’ll bring more news on the UK release date when we have it.
