is this a question, rumour or statement bro ?

aiyoh bro, don't lah tease.

RM1899 ?
RM1699 ? (yeah right)

If RM2199, tell Nokia wrong strategy.

you guys sure dont want to wait for the Bandit, Lanai, Orion, Pegasus, Rivendell, Shorty & Siruis?

btw, please allow me to do a shout out for our cover seller here, 1020 case available now.

sounds like L1020 will be out before Oct? based on the Nokia Malaysia fb reply in comment

to steal some thunder from Ipong5s/5c and Note 3 i guess.

Bro mwtang, now that Microsoft bought over Nokia devices, will it (Lumia range) get cheaper ?

I think they need to boost market share more to get those key developers behind popular apps to develop app for Windows Phone. I think the main drawback of Windows Phone is lack of certain essential apps, like banking apps, stock broking apps and some other essential apps that are already available with Android and iOS. 

Cheap phones will boost market share a lot. Look at L520. 

*Hoping for Microsoft subsidized L1020

I had the idea of compiling the local apps into a thread and let them shine and perhaps comments on it so that the developers of those app at least have some deep insights on how to improve.

I still remember Nokia company paying 3 figures money for those students who successfully submitted their assignment apps to the Ovi store.
jon, *pats shoulder*

All we can do is ask and hope for the best for WP8. Someday those features will be implemented or perhaps a better solution will come out.

will L1020 price goes below rm2.1k? since note3 price will below rm2.4k. 

Nice, I wasn't aware of the ICON3 programs.

Thanks for noticing.

Will be featuring a thread with local apps when I have the time.

Ai yo, so long lagi.
I think Nokia Malaysia will make announcement on the that time as well.

I saw that news yesterday and I calculated to RM, it is possible that the RRP below 2.1K

I think it is the Bandit/1520 that are priced at 2.3/2.4 due to its FHD Screen, rumor-20MP-Camera and Quad Core.

Me too.
But the fact is Lumia 1020 comes with only Dual Core, and also include those few seconds in-between shots.

There is no alternative until 2015, probably?
I couldn't wait that long either.
True.
How much you hope that you were seriously wrong on the pricing?
