Nokia's invited the media for an event on the 10th and nothing could be more exciting. Could it be the announcement for the Lumias? Is Nokia announcing potential plans for a tablet? Or is it going to be just a regular briefing about marketing plans?

Been eagerly waiting for the Nokia Lumia 920 and 820? Well, your wait might finally be coming to an end as we’ve got word that Nokia is holding a press even in the capital on January 10. We’re hoping that the event is geared towards the launch of the Lumia 920 and Lumia 820.

As you would know, we had earlier reported that Nokia Priority retailers were already accepting pre-orders for the flagship device. When we spoke to a few of these retailers, they claimed that if we reserved a Lumia with them, they’d have the device delivered by the 14th or the 15th of the month.

We received three different figures with respect to the final price tag the Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 would carry, but suffice to say, the bigger phone will be anywhere between Rs. 35,000 to Rs. 45,000 while the smaller sibling will sport a price tag between the range of Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 35,000. Of course Rs. 10,000 is a huge variance, so we’d rather wait for the official announcement on the price. If this event on the 10th is indeed aimed at the launch of the Lumia 920, then the word of the dealers would make sense, but it is just as possible that Nokia’s got something else planned for the 10th.

We’re told that the press event doesn’t say anything in specific, so it could just as well be a media briefing regarding the plans Nokia might have for the Indian market in 2013. It could also be the announcement for the Lumia phones. Could it be that Nokia is going to announce a Windows RT Tablet? Well, we can only hope and speculate till the actual date rolls around.
