Amazon Wireless drops AT&T Lumia 920 price to $49 on contract. Colors still backordered.

If you're looking to pick up the AT&T Nokia Lumia 920, Amazon Wireless just became a little more attractive. The online retailer, who is normally quite competitive in pricing, began selling the device just last week for $99. While that's a nice price-match for AT&T, there was little incentive to order from Amazon over the carrier.

Amazon Wireless has now dropped the price to a more reasonable $49.99 for all colors--white, black, cyan, red and yellow (it's $499 locked to AT&T but with no contract). That's the good news. The bad news is only white and black are available to order as even Amazon is suffering from the Lumia 920 color shortage. Listed as "backordered" there is no clear indication of when they will ship outside of the vague "one to two weeks" listed on the order page. Still, if you want matte black or glossy white (our personal favorite), Amazon Wireless looks like a good place to go, especially with their rocket fast shipping.

Rumor Alert: We should also note that rumors are saying that Amazon Wireless will offer the AT&T Nokia Lumia 920 for just $0.99 come "Black Friday" (the day after Thanksgiving). We cannot confirm this information but we would not be surprised if it's true.
