Nokia caught more than a few people off guard when it unveiled its low-end Lumia 620 last December. After all, it seemed as though Nokia would let its flagship 920 and powerful mid-range 820 carry the torch until the New Year. Well technically they did, because the Lumia 620 isn't quite available on store shelves yet — but they will be soon in the UK.

The official Clove blog has announced that Nokia's most affordable Windows Phone 8 handset will be available on its site by January 27th. The price is set at £227 (including VAT), which is actually a bit higher than Nokia's initial estimation. Regardless, pre-orders have begun now and those who reserve early will receive their new phones by the end of the month.

Wondering how the Nokia Lumia 620 stacks up to Windows Phone's mid-to-low range competition? Check out our most recent edition of Smackdown comparing the Lumia 620, Lumia 820, and HTC Windows Phone 8S.
