Nokia Lumia 925 set for Philippine launch on August 1

The Nokia Lumia 925 is set to be launched in the Philippines next week. Nokia Philippines has sent out invites for the local press launch on August 1.

We still don’t have any information as to the retail price of the Lumia 9225 but we’ll be there to get you that detail by then.

We also have our review unit of the Lumia 925 here and it should be out by Monday just before the release date.

Base don our initial tests though, the unit that we have was not compatible with Globe’s LTE network. It’s possible the one they sent was a Europe model and we’re hoping the local model with be LTE compatible with both Smart and Globe.

Stay tuned for the full review.

Oh, but the Lumia 1020 already came out in the US… I’d rather wait for that one than get the Lumia 925 right now.

I’ll hold out on purchasing a new smartphone until the Nokia 1020 arrives here in the Philippines. Nokia is pretty much late in releasing their flagship phones lately.

If it’s model RM-893 you have, it doesn’t have Globe’s 1800 frequency…LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 … RM-892 should work … LTE 800 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600

It’s been a while since WP8 launched yet the app selection is still poor. To be fair, Nokia does make beautiful hardware but the software (apart from it’s smooth performance) leaves a lot to be desired. Most app equivalents require payment yet they aren’t even up to scratch compared to iOS and Android offerings. I’m still waiting for a fire sale on the Lumia 920. $300 would do fine I think.
