http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/01/lumia620colors.jpg Brits who ground their fingers to stumps pressing their Lumia’s update button will finally get a rest, as Nokia UK has confirmed that Windows 7.8 is rolling out from today. Nokia’s British division has also revealed O2’s pricing for the Lumia 620, the handset that’s designed to bring Windows Phone 8 to the budget-phone masses. It’s available from today on the oxygen-themed network, setting you back £149.99 or free on contracts priced over £18.50. Normally, the interchangeable back plates would set you back around £20, but if you pick it up from O2, you’ll have a choice of getting a yellow, orange, green, white or cyan cover for free.
You’ll also be able to pick up the budget-flavored handset from ThreeUK and Virgin Media from today, although neither has opened up about pricing just yet. Vodafone has announced that it’s launching the handset on February 6th with a choice of white or black covers, while EE has yet to commit to carrying the smartphone. If you saw removable covers and hoped that the 620 would benefit from the same wireless charging plates we see in the 820, we’ve got some bad news – it’s not likely to happen.
