The cyan Nokia Lumia 900 is joining the white and black models as being available for order from AT&T.com . Can't really say the cyan model is really back in stock because the Windows Phone is listed as "will ship in 5-7 business days". More than likely Nokia informed AT&T that the truck's ready to leave the Nokia assembly line to head over to the AT&T Warehouse. Which...

We've reported in the past that AT&T was rumored to be getting a magenta (red, fuchsia, pink etc) Nokia Lumia 900 on Sunday, May 13th right in time for Mother's Day. Since that report we've had a sighting in a Microsoft Store (since removed) and Nokia's Facebook page (also since removed). The image above clearly shows once and for all that a magenta Lumia 900 does indeed exist. What...

President and CEO of AT&T Mobility, Ralph de la Vega, was interviewed on CNBC recently answering questions surrounding both AT&T's latest financial report and the rumoured iPhone 5. One would ask, "what has this got to do with Windows Phone?" Well, nothing. But what's both humorous and surprising is Vega holds up a shiny new Lumia 900 instead of discussing the iPhone. Check out...

We heard rumblings that the some Lumia 900s are shipping with an earlier firmware than the data-fix one pushed out last Friday. Our Glossy-White Lumia 900 came with a green-dot on the box, meaning it should be "ok" for data usage. But a quick glance of the firmware and we noticed a discrepancy: it was 2175.1000.8112.12082. That's the old firmware. The one that had a memory issue causing...
