We reported earlier this month that Lumia 930 was already available for pre-order in Europe through various online retailers, including Amazon.

However, it appears that those who hurriedly pre-ordered their devices may have been in the wrong here, as Nokia Lumia 930 will be priced lower than the initial suggested retail price displayed by these retailers.

While Amazon France and Germany ask no less than €580 ($790) off contract for the Nokia Lumia 930, Dutch retailer Centralpoint sells the smartphone for only €505 ($690), which is considerably lower than Amazon’s pricing.

Moreover, WMPoweruser reports the same retailer initially confirmed the Lumia 930 would be available for purchase starting June 16 but now claims stock will arrive slightly earlier.

While there’s still no exact release date available, we expect Nokia Lumia 930 to arrive at some European retailers as early as the first week of June.

Nokia Lumia 930 is the second smartphone to ship with Windows Phone 8.1 operating system out of the box. However, unlike the Lumia 630/635, this one comes with much higher specs.

The smartphone has been confirmed to pack a 2.2 quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, an Adreno 330 graphics processing unit, and 2GB of RAM.
