Android users on T-Mobile got a new phone option today in the form of the waterproof Sony Xperia Z, but Windows Phone 8 fans won't be left out in the cold either: the company announced that Nokia's Lumia 925 will be available for purchase on July 17.

As we wrote in our initial hands-on with the device, on the inside it's not drastically different from the other Lumia 920-series phones. It has a dual-core Snapdragon S4 Plus SoC, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, an 8.7MP PureView camera, and a 4.5-inch 1280×768 AMOLED display (the Lumia 925 also uses an AMOLED display, while the 920 uses an IPS panel). Its main change over those phones is that it exchanges their chunky plastic bodies for a slimmer frame made primarily of aluminum.

The initial down-payment on the phone is $49.99, plus an extra $20 on your phone bill every month for the next 24 months (bringing the final cost to a less wallet-friendly $529.99). This news comes a day ahead of Nokia's own press conference, at which the company is expected to take the wraps off of its next-generation Lumia 1020 handset.
