Canada’s Bell Mobility is preparing to join the Windows Phone 8 game and will launch two devices running Microsoft’s mobile platform. Nokia Lumia 920, however, is not on the list. An email conversation with the Assistant to the President of Bell Mobility states that the carrier “will be supporting the Windows Phone 8 release in Canada with two new devices from leading manufacturers. At this time we are not planning to carry the Nokia Lumia 920.”

What about Lumia 820? We’ve no idea. We also don’t know whether the Samsung ATIV S will be included though we do hope that will be the case.

Bell aside, we’re pretty confident other operators in the country will join the Windows Phone 8 craze and we’ll let you know as soon as we hear something new on that front.

    I will be switching carriers. I’ve been waiting for win 8 phone/surface rt for quite some time and there’s no way I will stay with Bell if they are not able to give me what I want.

    January is the end of my contract. Now who’s carrying the LUMINA 920?

    I have been waiting for Lumina 920 as well. Just got to know only Rogers will be carrying them. I hate rogers poor signal downtown as well as at my home in Pickering. No wonder Nokia is going down the drain. I hope HTC and Samsumg is made available to all the carriers
