Lumia 900 sales still 'outpacing supply' says Nokia US President

WP Central

Co-ordinate to Nokia'southward U.S. president Chris Weber, sales of the Lumia 900, which recently launched in us, has been outpacing supply. We've covered how the LTE Windows Phone has been out of stock more-so than anything else, which is having an effect on other markets looking to stock the device.

Information technology would appear as though the sellout on AT&T is indeed due to demand and not simply a case of not stocking anywhere nigh enough units for launch, with footling demand / interest present.

"Demand has been outstripping supply for the outset couple of weeks, and we've been working difficult to rectify that. The demand for cyan [phones] is significantly outpacing supply. When you give people something unlike from a design perspective—colors, etc. —it really stands out, and consumers want that."

As well as discussing AT&T and how the Lumia 900 is selling, Weber also touched on actual AT&T retail store support for the Windows Phone.

"Mostly, nosotros're seeing very good support. Information technology'south a work in progress."

Information technology would appear every bit though Verizon is on Nokia's goal listing for the future with the understanding that having the CDMA carrier on-board as well equally AT&T would certainly boost growth for both the manufacturer and Windows Phone. Unfortunately, no details were revealed surrounding Windows Phone 8 "Apollo" upgrades for Lumia smartphone owners.

"Both Nokia and Microsoft sympathize the importance for consumers to keep their devices fresh and updated. Without any announcements existence made, we're working to make sure people have fresh and updated experiences on any device they may have."

Microsoft has come a long way since Windows Mobile and the NoDo rollout post-obit MIX'eleven. Nokia has a lot riding on the Lumia family of Windows Phones to rebuild the potent make the company had many years ago when bricks were still being held to our ears. Will nosotros see "Apollo" on our current devices? We can't possibly say, but we wouldn't rule the possibility out.
