Nokia launches Lumia 820, Lumia 620 in the Philippines

Nokia has launched the Lumia 820 and Lumia 620 Windows Phone 8 handsets in the Philippines. The mid-range and low entry devices are both proving to be popular among consumers in multiple markets. Available in select Nokia stores, the manufacturer is also giving consumers the chance to win both Windows Phones - one for yourself and the other for a loved one. 

It's noted that pricing and availability may vary in different stores, but the RRP is provided for both in the market. The Lumia 820 will set consumers back Php 18,990 ($470), while the Lumia 620 is only priced at Php 11,600 ($290). The competition we speak of to win one of each is open until the end of February and is available to all Philippine residents. Be sure to check out the official Facebook for more information.

Here's hoping we see a similar reception to the HTC Windows Phone 8 launch.
