Microsoft Store to have both 32GB and 64GB versions of the Nokia Lumia 1020 in stock

If you're wondering whether your local Microsoft Store will be carrying both the 32GB and 64GB versions of the Nokia Lumia 1020, the answer is "Yes". For many wanting the phone, 32GB of storage is not enough, especially since there is no microSD slot on the handset. And while it was originally believed that Telefonica owned carriers would be the only place to obtain the 64GB variant, a perusal of the Microsoft Store website shows that the extended storage version of the device will be available there as well. The 64GB model will be able to store 4000 images or 6 hours of very high quality FHD video

In addition to being able to pick up the 64GB version of the Nokia Lumia 1020 from the Microsoft Store, the store also has an exclusive offer for those purchasing the model from them. Sign a two-year contract with AT&T at the time of purchase and you will receive a free Nokia Camera Grip which is a $79 value. The grip includes a 1020mAh battery to help you keep taking pictures even when the cell on your handset is dying. It also makes the phone feel more like a camera when snapping photos.

A quick call to a Microsoft Store confirms that the 64GB model will be available there, and the rep that we spoke to assured us that this version of the Nokia Lumia 1020 will be available for pre-order on July 16th and will be shipped on the 26th. We were told to call back closer to the 16th for pricing information.
