Our earlier post pointed out that first few devices of Lumia 900 purchases from AT&T were having connectivity issues. Nokia, with the objective of “Keeping people first”, quickly looked into the problem and promised a quick fix. The $100 credit on the phone bill to the first few faulty phone was offered until the fix arrived. The faulty phones could either be replaced or swapped with the un-affected unit only until midnight PST April 21st.
Nokia states:
Earlier this week, Nokia communicated about a memory management issue with the recently launched Nokia Lumia 900 at AT&T that, in some cases, was leading to a loss of data connectivity.
When this news was issued on Tuesday, Nokia had identified that a software update would be available for consumer download on or around April 16th. Today, we’d like to share with you that the update is now available. Consumers now have the opportunity to update their AT&T version Nokia Lumia 900 software through Zune and Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac earlier than anticipated.
Consumers are still able to swap out their Lumia 900 for an updated Lumia 900 in an AT&T store if they’d prefer. And, of course, the $100 credit offer will remain in effect through Midnight PST on April 21st.
Easy cash for lucky few…!!
