Nokia has been much criticised for doing an exclusive deal with the UK network EE for its flagship WP8 device, the Lumia 920.
The good news is that deal is coming to an end.
In its official blog, Vodafone UK says it will be getting the 920 "in the new year":
Already confirmed as heading to Vodafone in the new year are the Nokia Lumia 820, the HTC 8X and HTC 8S. They’re a stunning set of Windows Phone 8 handsets, but one more can’t hurt, can it? With that in mind, we’re donning the party hats early in light of the news that we’ll also be stocking the Nokia Lumia 920.We're presuming that means other carriers in the UK will also start selling the 920.
Rejoice.
Vodafone also tries to explain why it's not stocking any WP8 phones until next year:
We’re working harder than Santa’s elves to make sure that these new Windows Phone 8 dream machines are perfect by the time they land in your pockets.
At the moment, that means we’re saying that all four of our Windows Phone 8 phones will arrive in the early stages of next year, but keep your eyes locked to Vodafone Social for a more precise release date, which we’ll bring you as soon as we possibly can.It still means that Vodafone is very late on the WP8 bandwagon.
