    Here’s a nice sign for future things to come; some people who have pre-ordered the Lumia 900 from At&t are reporting that they received emails telling them that the current stock of Lumia 900s isn’t sufficient to fill their orders. I know it must suck to be one of you guys who got cancelled on; [...]

  It appears that the Nokia Lumia 900 is beginning to appear to bloggers (the first unboxing we saw I think was AT&T staff, no? He said he got it from ‘work’) Apparently, ‘it feels pretty awesome right now’. He mentions a ‘sim tray remover’. I’ve not actually seen this in action (and we won’t). [...]
