Nokia Lumia 2520: First Nokia Tablet Availability at Verizon Set on November 21 Ahead of AT&T's November 22 Rollout Schedule
It has been confirmed that the Nokia Lumia 2520 tablet will be available at Verizon and AT&T. The latest reports on the first Nokia tablet claim that Verizon is early this time in offering the device with a schedule set on Thursday, November 21, while rival carrier AT&T's rollout schedule is on November 22.
According to the Trusted Reviews report, the pricing scheme for the Nokia Lumia 2520 Windows 8 RT tablet is at $399.99 (around £248) on a two-year contract while the outright price is at $499.99 (£310). However, it appears the on-contract price offer for the Nokia device will only be valid for a limited time.
The Nokia Lumia 2520 tablet features and specs include the 10.1-inch Full HD 1080p screen display, powered with the 2.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 8000mAh battery, a 6.7MP rear-facing camera, 4G LTE connectivity and 32GB internal storage capacity that can be expanded to 64GB through the microSD card slot.
Additionally, the Finnish company will make their own Power Keyboard available for the Nokia Lumia 2520 where the physical keyboard is added as well as two USB ports, an extended battery life and a wrap-around protection for the Windows tablet during transportation.
Verizon customers can choose from the colour options available for the Nokia Lumia 2520. In-store purchase only has the tablet in black colour while online purchase offers the black and red colour choices.
AT&T, on the other hand, will offer the Nokia Lumia 2520 tablet for $199.99 price as part of the special bundle with the other Nokia devices such as the Nokia Lumia 1520, 1020 or 925 Windows Phone handsets. "Translation: get one of the handhelds, with or without contracts, and then score the 2520, with a compulsory 24-month pact, on the 'cheap' at 200 bucks," the VRZone report reads.
Another device expected to make a Verizon appearance on November 21 next to the Nokia Lumia 2520 tablet is the Nokia Lumia 929, the miniature version of the Nokia Lumia 1520 phablet with the matching hardware. However, Verizon has not given any comment yet on whether they will offer the Nokia Lumia 929 or not.
