Expansys.ca offers several unlocked Lumia 920's at various prices. I am trying to determine if there will be any problems if I order the AT&T unlocked version.

Apparently the initial batch were in fact unlocked. However that may have been an oversight? The Rogers 920 "launch" was today, and new phones could be locked. In any event, when they did have an unlocked 920 in Calgary here they wouldn't sell it to me without signing up to a plan

I've been in 3 strores. There is no Lumia 920 model yet, and they said that will be locked only for Rogers.

I have a contact in Expansys. I've sent an email asking the availability here.
I could buy one locked from Rogers (they said that will receive the shipments tomorrow), and try to get an unlock code.
With Lumia 900, was easy to unlock Rogers lumia phones. Maybe the 920 will follow the same path.

Let me know how that works out. I didn't think Rogers was selling them without a monthly plan. I've emailed expansys as well...
A guy said that $599 for a phone off contract plus 50 for unlock and then tax.

You might as well sign up for a monthly plan and then cancel the next day. The typical difference between a hardware purchase vs month to month purchase is $50 (h/w purchase costs more). Sign up for the cheapest plan ($27) and you'll still be ahead.

As a rule of thumb assume that the people in the store have no idea what they're talking about.
When the initial batch was released I went looking for one in the Rogers store; the woman in the store repeatedly told me it was locked and reports to the contrary were incorrect.

Don't think there is an unlock code available for the AT&T 920 as yet, is there?
The other option is to pick up one from Clove in the UK. About $630 for the unlocked white version. Add shipping, GST/PST/HST and brokerage to that and you are probably looking at close to the $750 mark.

Expansys only sells unlocked phones. Also, Negri has the AT&T 920 up for pre-order as well. Of course, MMS and tethering could be a problem with an unlocked AT&T device on someone else's network. Grrrr I really wish Nokia had a clue. Great phone but it is almost as if they are deliberately trying to anger early adopters and enthusiasts, especially here in Canada.

Wow! Expansys Canada is asking $800 for an unlocked, white 920. As for Negri, all of the AT&T will be locked and presumably will be difficult to get unlock codes for a few months. The only option is Rogers (and hope it's unlocked) or Clove (and pay the premium price).

If you end up doing that, try to also do a manual network scan and see if Wind shows up.
Wow, I'm feeling really lucky now. I bought mine from Rogers unlocked. The kicker was that someone bought it before me and then returned it. So I was able to buy it without a contract and also for 50% off. So that's $300 for an unlocked Rogers phone then brought it to Telus who currently have a deal going on where if you bring in an unlocked phone they give you $100 credit. So, all in all, the phone had cost me $200. SCORE! Chances are... I'm probably going to get coal for Christmas, now. lol

Any reason why these unlocked phones are fetching a $200 - $350 premium over AT&T no-contract unlock price at 3rd party sites? Could we expect price to drop once AT&T starts to sell?

Probably because AT&T off contract does not mean unlocked.

I think because the non-commitment $449 at-t price still *requires* you to sign up for a data plan and it won't be unlocked. Look at the fine print on their website when you select the device.
I live in Brazil, and a relative of mine is going to the US and I'm eager to get this phone.
I wonder if i can get it off Contract and Unlocked, or just simply off contract since i believe Unlocking it won't take long.
And i'm wondering if it will go for U$500 or close to it.
599 USD off contract but i dont know if is unlocked
I am in same situation.
On Verizon site is clear like cristal, 599 USD off contract
But i dont know if is unlocked too...and for me that is a real ****, cause i dont know how to unlock the beast so i need an answer, like u 2!
I am in the same situation, 'cause I'm italian...but I really, really want this phone, is absolutely amazing!

they should, i have bought many a phone from them in store and just told the sales rep to leave it boxed i will activate it at home. did have one try to tell me that they had to activate it before it could leave the store, so i just told them it was a gift. (which that one actually was)
Yes , looks like it is GSM unlocked , but dont forget those phones were all pre release models & the actual ones that come out on 21st may not have GSM Unlocked. I hope it is unlocked though

Full price does not always equate to unlocked. You'll need to confirm that it is indeed unlocked before purchasing.

Nah you cannot at this moment. Amazon currently only sell the off-contract AT&T model and we all know that this version does not actually unlocked. So you better wait for a while until Amazon starts selling the international version.
Sounds good (or bad, heh). Thanks for the concise info!
Hello,
Has anyone in the U.S. gotten their hands on an unlocked and unbranded Lumia 920? I'm looking to make a purchase now. If so, could you please share your purchase experience?
Based on my experience with the Lumia 800 that I purchased off of Amazon, quality is sometimes hit and miss. The first Lumia 800 I got was DOA. The battery was drained so much that it couldn't be revived. The second one had dust under the buttons so they wouldn't light up correctly. The third one was good (finally).
To ensure that I will be able to return the device for a new one like I did on Amazon, I've done some research on return policies. Here are my findings:
Negri Electronics http://negrielectronics.com/policies#2_2
Defective items may be returned for repair within 25 days of purchase date. If repair is not possible, a refurbished replacement is provided. In addition, Negri Electronics considers a device to be defective "when the total number of dead pixels exceeds five." They also "do not consider dust under the screen to be indicative of a defective device". Shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer.
Devices that are unopened can be returned within 7 days for a refund. There is a 5% restocking fee. After 7 days, opened unused items will have a 15% restocking fee. After 7 days, opened used items will have a 15%-45% restocking fee.
I feel like that's a fairly stringent policy, and if I run into issues like I did with my Lumia 800, I won't be able to get a new replacement and I'd also have to pay a restocking fee...
GSM Nation http://www.gsmnation.com/help-center/warranty.html
GSM Nation will "repair the product or replace the product for a new one if the product is not repairable within 10 business days of receipt." If you receive defective or incorrect merchandise, GSM Nation will cover shipping charges up to a maximum of $12.00 USD when sending the the item back to them for repair or exchange. However they will not cover shipping charges for returns.
A defective product can be refunded within 10 days of receipt. There are no specifics on what is considered "defective" except that the phone "cannot place phone calls" or "cannot send text messages". No specifics are given on dead pixels, dust under the screen or battery life. It does state that the device will not be considered as defective for network issues like dropped calls or low signal.
Some thoughts
At this point, it's a bit off-putting to purchase from Negri since it doesn't look like I will be able to do much if the device has minor defects like dust under the screen. GSM Nation costs quite a bit more though, yet their policies are vague enough that I'm not sure what to make of it.
Does anyone have experiences with these two companies?

Those sites are legit. The different between them is price and their policy. Sometimes you can talk to them to get over the policy, but it will be a slim chance. Right now, only GSMNation and Welectronics have stock, but for the international model. Negri had stock last few days but went out so quickly and they expect to get more at the end of this month. They're also the only one that sell Rogers 920. So it's all up to you where you want to buy. However, if you feel something would be wrong or you may end up getting defective device, pay a little more fee to get a warranty. Or if you want to try, contact Nokia customer service if anything happen and they might ship you a new free of charge phone. A few people had done that and they are so lucky that they got a free phone directly from Nokia.
I see that you are in Bellevue WA. I'd say you drive up to Canada and buy 920 from MS (holiday popup) stores at full price. They will sell them to you no problem (as long as they have them. Call ahead). There are 2 in Vancouver area.
Then you go to Rogers store and get pay as you go SIM. Make sure you put enough credit there to cover for unlock fee ($50). Once you have all these, call their support line and get the unlock code.
that's what I did and my 920 works great with TMO SIM now.

Hello fellow eastsider!
My concern with the Rogers model is that once I get it unlocked, there is no more warranty (as far as I know). According to Negri, unlocking a carrier branded phone will void the warranty. Does that apply if I buy it myself from Rogers?
And also, is there a way to debrand a Rogers model yet?

How come there is no more warranty? You buy a phone outright that means you can use it without any restriction from carrier, which they have to unlock it for you. You still have the manufacturer warranty even if your phone is unlocked.
About the debranding, as far as I know, there is no way at this point to access register to change some keys or flashing a firmware from different variant to one particular. Your best is to wait until more people have the phone and the devs will figure it somehow. It's just a matter of time.

I have no idea. This is from Negri:
"Unlocking carrier-branded devices voids any warranty that previously existed. For this reason, there is no warranty associated with these devices. We know of rare instances where these items have still found success filing a warranty claim with the carrier. But, this would be uncommon and does not involve Negri Electronics, although we are happy to help you if this applies to your device."

Nope. The reason they state that because if you ask some carriers, they will say the same thing. Negri only bases on the information from the carrier. However, unlock one device won't void any warranty except that you open the phone to modify. Most unlocking method require to enter the code, not have to modify any inside the phone.

Thanks for confirming that the internet sharing works on your unlocked Rogers lumia 920. I've seen other posts where it would work initially and stop working afterwards so hope your unit works consistently. I tried the 8x from TMO and it displays the $15 option before internet sharing will work so am now looking at Rogers 920 as option. Happy thanksgiving.

I'd be cautious when using the tethering to not stream videos or download large files. Internet sharing worked on my unlocked Lumia 800 on T-Mobile for a while. Until I decided to download some civil drawings that were 104 mb combined. Halfway through the download, T-Mobile's system detected the high usage amount and blocked the tethering...
I'm still looking for ways around this.

Call up Rogers directly and be prepared to pay $50 + taxes. Note that you must have an active Rogers account (post or pre paid) in order for them to have somewhere to charge $50 to.

I Just got my unlock code from unlock.gsmcanada.com
i tried cellunlocker first. They couldn't unlock it.
gsmcanada took a Whole Day.
my build was 45/2012.
Some have been successful will Rogers 920. I personally was able to get 2 of 3 unlocked from cellunlocker.net
I think the ones that haven't been able to get unlocked at all are the AT&T ones.
I just unlocked 18 out of 20 Rogers 920's yesterday using CellPhoneUnlock.net and they were only charging $14.99, today I went back and they've raised the price to $49.99! Cellunlocker.net is now charging $39.99 (up from $14.99 too), so maybe this is a sign that unlocking these devices has been really popular and they're having a harder time getting codes.

I, too, could unlock mine. Got it on Wednesday (batch 47), ordered right away (before they jacked up the price from $14.99 to $39.99), and got the code yesterday. Could hardly believe it!:victory:
What's the cheapest you guys have seen the Rogers version selling for? I'd rather buy that one than the AT&T and unlock it. The Rogers is still a Penta, yes?

I bought mine at $500 + 13% tax and was lucky enough to have it unlocked for $15 at cellunlocker (they just increased the price 2 1/2 times).
Yes, this one is pentaband (I'm using it on an AWS Canadian carrier 1700-2100 MHz). I've heard that you could flash the ATT one with the Rogers firmware and make it pentaband. The issue is unlocking it

Interesting. Where did you purchase? Anyone else using a Rogers on AT&T?

I purchased it from canadagsm.ca. They charge about $30 for shipping, but they have a retail location in the GTA, 4 mins from my workplace, so I went to pick it up there instead
They have the 820 unlocked for $568. Not sure if that one is pentaband, though.

Thanks for the info! Was about to purchase it for $599 at rogers off contract. The one listed on the Canada GSM website doesn't show the 1700 band
3G Network HSDPA 850/900/1900/2100
I'm assuming they just forgot it? Can you confirm if your manual/box lists the 1700 band on it for 3G as I plan to use it on Wind Mobile.
