Cheapest place to get a WP8 Nokia?

    I'm looking to get a WP8 Nokia after having a LG Optimus 7 (WP7) for about 2 years and as of recently a Huawei G300 for the last 2 months.

    I really miss how smooth Windows Phone was and how nice it was to use.

    I'm going to go with 48's €10 a month package, so I'll have to get the phone unlocked.

    From watching reviews on YouTube, it seems the 520's screen isn't all that great and the 820/920 are out of my price range. I also need a front facing camera.

    So that leaves me with the Nokia 620 and 720.

    I can't seem to find the 720 for sale anywhere?

    Nokia 620:
    O2: €179 (+€12 back through FatCheese)
    Meteor: €229 (Out of stock) (+€10 back through FatCheese)
    Vodafone: Don't have it. (+€24 back through FatCheese)
    Three: Don't have it.
    eMobile: €229 (Out of stock)
    Tesco: €210

    Is there anywhere cheaper? Is there even a place that sells/will sell the 720 in Ireland?

    I would definitely go for the samsung. Got to try one out recently and the big display with the thin profile and light weight is really amazing. Its a bit blander than the Nokia range but at that price it doesn't matter. Only question is do you absolutely need the Nokia apps like drive, music etc?

    Nokia music not heavily relevant with Xbox music. Also you can download Nokia drive on any Windows phone 8 now.

    Even though the 620 is a lovely phone, I'd still prefer the higher end ones.

    Lumia 720 isn't for sale in Ireland.
    Amazon has them all at fairly decent prices. 246 sterling for 720

    If you have an upgrade for O2 you can get 20% off which would give you the 820 for €303. But that and the Samsung are twice the price of the 620. Kinda of a big difference.

    Heres the two side by side. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTFwMSxuQkI
