Nokia Lumia 900 - $100 rebate

I wrote earlier about Nokia Lumia 900 launch in the US.

Nokia is now offering $100 rebate because they identified a software issue with Lumia 900 memory management. In short, a memory management issue was discovered that could, in some cases, lead to loss of data connectivity. IThey say that the issue is purely in the phone software, and is not related to either phone hardware or the network itself. They have identified the issue, and have developed a solution.

They are offering following options if you have already purchased a Lumia 900:

• Update your device with the latest software via Zune on or around Monday, April 16th.
or
• Swap your current Lumia 900 for an updated Lumia 900

They apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused. As a gesture of good will, every individual who has already purchased a Nokia Lumia 900 — or who will purchase one between now and April 21st – will receive a $100 credit to their AT&T bill from Nokia.

Nokia Lumia 900 starts to sound a good deal for consumer who wants a smart phone.

Nokia Lumia 900

Nokia announced Lumia 900 model to US markets on Sunday. This is an important launch for Nokia. They are really trying to get in to US markets that they lost many years ago.

The phone has received varying reviews. It it's inexpensive for a smart phone with those specifications. Windows Phone is a new to many people and they are not maybe yet sure if it's for them. Anyway the general feel for the phone has been positive. For example Gizmodo conclusion for the phone was: "Should I Buy It? Probably—it's only $100" and "The Lumia 900 is a phone that every single person should consider owning."

You can buy factory locked black version from Amazon. They also offer AT&T versions (black, cyan).
