Microsoft has confirmed that the Nokia Lumia 930 will go on sale July 10 in both Denmark and Sweden, joining the previously revealed Scandinavian country of Norway for the launch of the latest Windows Phone 8.1 device.

 

In Denmark, the Lumia 930 is available for pre-order beginning today for the price of DKK 3995, or about U.S. $729 and will be sold via a number of carriers and retailers, including TDC, Telia, Call me, Telmore, YouSee, DLG Tele, CBB, Bibob, Expert, Fona and Telenor.

 

Over in Sweden, pre-orders are also being taken today for the Lumia 930 for the price of SEK 4999, or about U.S. $741. It can be bought at Three, Telenor and Tele2, among other retailers.

If you wait we could also get something better than the 930, there's still rumors of lots of other devices in the works, code names and so on.  I'm content with holding on to my HTC 8X with 8.1 and whatever future updates they push out now that the developer preview program has kicked off and we can get them without the carriers in the way.

 

Now if we find out that once again we can't upgrade to say, WP9 next year, then I'll be in the market for a new phone again. 

Depends on the stores, but you're probably better off waiting for a release in the US, since it should be cheaper.

 

There would be no point importing this into the US since it's already released there as the Lumia Icon.

The icon is locked to Verizon though.  If you did import it, it would be GSM unlocked and you could use it on AT&T and T-Mobile, maybe Sprint or is Sprint CDMA like Verizon?

AFAIK the Icon is exclusive to Verizon, imported versions would probably be LTE in Europe and H+ in America.

    • I've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music."
    • “Could” … in the IS the healthcare is run by insurance companies that make indecent profits denying basic treatments to people that are paying money for nothing. Besides, where are all the Trump epigones who were stating that the tariffs were going to paid by foreign companies and not the US citizens? …
    • Microsoft Teams gets smarter at spotting sneaky meeting bots by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is set to receive a couple of new features soon, including a dedicated Recap app and a rather controversial location tracking functionality. The Redmond tech giant has also explained how it has made online communication and collaboration a lot more performant this year. Now, the company has detailed more secure bot admission mechanisms, as first reported by us in March 2026, and now available in Teams. As the use of AI has expanded across enterprise environments, Microsoft has begun allowing users to integrate bots into their meetings for various tasks, such as note-taking. While this has a tangible productivity benefit for users, Microsoft has highlighted how misconfiguration has allowed bots to join meetings that they shouldn't. This has created security and privacy risks, which Microsoft is now combating using a new Teams admin policy that allows organizers to control how external bots access meetings. Admins can leverage a policy called Manage external bots and their access to meetings. The default configuration is "When detected, require approval before joining", which places detected bots in a lobby before they are explicitly admitted into the meeting. The other option disables the experience. Microsoft has also requested admins to only allow organizers and co-organizers to manage access to a meeting, so that other people don't randomly allow bots into meetings. Teams will now be able to leverage infrastructure signals to intelligently detect and distinguish between bots and humans. Microsoft will soon also trial a registration experience for independent software vendors (ISVs) to build a system that registers a bot with Microsoft, so it is marked as a "known" bot. Teams will also categorize bots as trusted and suspected threats so that organizers can quickly identify which bots they want to allow into a meeting. Additional safeguards to block accidental admission of a bot into a meeting include: No one-click Admit option for identified bots Confirmation prompts when admitting participants that include bots Warnings when organizers choose Admit all, and bots are included Microsoft has begun rolling out this experience, and it will be retiring the current CAPTCHA verification implementation. In the future, the company plans to roll out new capabilities like allow-lists, organization-wide policies, admin reports, audit logs, and more granular controls.
    • With the current hardware prices Microsoft should lift the restriction. Then if you have the correct TPM then allow you to use X feature, if you don't have the correct TPM then don't but still actually let you run windows. 11. With a disclaimer during install that X features would be unavailable.
    • It's good for recycling of course. But commence inflation of a second hand RAM bubble and price gouging on DDR 4 inventory in 3... 2... 1...
