Nokia Lumia 1520 fanciers get that sharpie at the ready and draw yourself a circle of hope around November 25, because that may well be the day the 6-inch handset will be landing on UK soil.
Third-party retailer Unlocked Mobiles is now taking SIM-free pre-orders for the Windows Phone 8 device, asking for £600 and is "expecting" to ship on the aforementioned date.
While nothing official has been announced by the Finnish manufacturer, Carphone Warehouse is also touting a November release, while Vodafone says it's coming soon.
The Lumia 1520 is the first Windows Phone to pack a quad-core processor and a full HD 1080p screen and will also arrive touting a 20.1-megapixel camera.
Closing the gap
The handset, which is likely to be Nokia's last before it ends up in the hands of in the hands of Microsoft, was revealed last month at Nokia World, alongside the Lumia 2520 tablet and a lower-end Lumia 1320 phablet.
It's Nokia's largest smartphone yet, with the company's sights set firmly on taking down devices like the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and HTC One Max.
Microsoft, on the other hand will be hoping a top-spec handset in the tablet space will help its ever-growing share of the European smartphone market and draw it towards lessening the iOS and Android duopoly.
