Cyan Lumia 900 Case Out of Stock; Sign of 900s Still Selling Strong?
Since Nokia refuses to release any exact number of how many 900s have been sold (cross fingers and think multi-millions?) we sort of end up reading a bit more into every “out of stock” notification; the latest item to go out of stock is the Cyan Bumper for the Lumia 900 (of course the Cyan 900 is the most popular and faces the most demand). I’m not sure what type of back-stock the online At&t store would have; but I would assume it’s huge considering that the device has been on the market for almost two months now (keep in mind the accessories were available before the actual device even).
Follow up question, wasn’t there a Black BUMPER case (no back cover) for the 900 available online as well? I can’t seem to find it anymore and I was hoping to grab one to protect the stormtrooper once it arrives without hiding it’s beauty, (the only other bumpers are Green & Cyan- neither of which match well with White); the black bumper would have made a perfect combo giving contrast between the two extremes.

u linked a picture of the cyan blue gel case being OOS with only 1 customer review
amazon items with high sales usually have quite a few reviews…. id rather there be no stories than this
lol
Well Personally when I order something from a website I hardly bother reviewing it; except on amazon where I do write reviews (most accessories on the At&t store are “review-less” from what I’ve seen).
ah i see what you mean. typically when i go on amazon i base the popularity on the review count as typically only a small number of people leave reviews so if an item has a lot of reviews it suggests, to me, a lot of sales
like that skinomi protective skin almost 50 reviews
When I bought my cyan 900 the store was already out of gel covers. I didn’t bother writing a review of a gel cover? What do you say?
Just for you today I see a article that just showed up on republic news tech news, the UK schools are WAITING to see the windows 8 tablets before buying talblets. Also, windows has released a new cloud service for u.s. government that separates categories and is just for government.
Seems they are afraid devs will know taht windows market is 0.4% of mobile market and will know numbers of Nokia N9 on the market. Unawarness allow rules easier with unaware people, or just to play them fools. This is nothing about fair relatons with interested sides. This is my understanding how it works and what is true motivation.
Well, your understanding is impossible for anyone to understand. Literally.
hmm….Annethe/Makiko: reviewing another one of your comments – i really don’t see how you’re actually reading the posts to reply about them. It seems to be automated spam. What you said really makes little sense in relation to the post and any possible post were we to reverse construct one from your comment. Please reply to this post to confirm it’s not.
BTW in relation to this post, another sign perhaps it is selling strong is that it’s somehow keeping a spot in the top 10 best sellers at Amazon USA. It moves to the top every now and again with the black – cyan less popular but in top 20. Given the strength of the competition it’s a decent effort. It only gets harder as they will continue to release stronger phones and we’ve got nothing up until September/October
If it was selling “strong” you bet MS/Nokia would not keep the numbers to themselves. Instead they are leaking laughable rumours that WP is outselling iPhone in China. In Q2 it will be around 3 or 4 millions Lumias even with the huge push on ATT, i.e. again disaster.
3-4 million lumias is not a disater dumbass
Welcome back, viktor von d. , resident DUMBASS! We were wondering where you were grazing, and we kinda missed your insults and invectives and base, uncouth language. Again, we welcome you back, trollface and flamebait!
You do know your post is a tad hypocritcal, right?
Same can be said of you, given perspective.
@ mark why dont u go away u really a big hater
So, to reprise:
You do know your post is a tad hypocritcal, right?
Don’t worry Mark. You seem to have a resident antagoniser. Every time you post, they’re there in various usernames to whine at you.
Ooowwwhhh poor li’l Snarky Marky War-key… your whine got out-whined and your own argument turned against you. Tch, tch, tch, can’t have that now, can we?
Maybe next time hold off your cheeky remarks for yourself.
Are you five years old?
Please stop derailing the comments with your patronising, antagonistic remarks or stop commenting on this blog altogether.
This is why I support disquss much easier to ban trolls
No worries, Jay. I have a pretty thick skin.
You’ll notice that people like steelicon never actually post any arguments themselves – it’s either +1 to someone else’s point of view, an insult, copy and paste nonsense or a pointless video clip.
Why would anyone care about the posts of someone who can’t even posit their own opinion?
Sad really. An empty voice squeaking in a howling gale.
No doubt for MS it would be colossal success, but Nokia cant survive on just few millions units sold per quarter.
Apple did quite comfortably for most of 2008.
Well then, let’s just sit back and relax. No pressure, Nokia. You will do an Apple eventually.
And your point is?
And your point was?
If Nokia sells 4milj this Q, what makes you think it wont sell 8milj in next and 16milj in next Q. Just as an example
I dunno, perhaps that few millions is to low to sustain Nokia? Because they are doing great at 12 millions now?
Maybe the fact that they are evidently going to sell 20 million this quarter and 200 million the next? And in Q4 everyone will get pony? Good to have this solid, down to earth vision of future.
Without the burning platforms memo Nokia would have sold less than 12 million handsets in the Q1. The Symbian was already losing market shares in the Q3 and Q4 before the BP memo.

You don’t even know the current situation GLOBALLY, let alone predict what could have or couldn’t have happened.

+ All we know is what ACTUALLY happened. Elop screwed up. Just look at the numbers GLOBALLY right now.
Dear Steelicon,
Nokia was rapidly losing market share even at the same quater the N8 was released. And quarter before that. Pretty much actually. They were losing Market share so fast that with the same rate it would have been zero by Q1 this year but it was not. Judging by that there is very little damage Elop actually managed to do with that BP memo.
This was globally. Nokia was losing market share globally at 2010. That was before Elop. That was also despite the N8 and Symbian^3 shipped. They still lost more market share.
The N8 and the Symbian^3 just didn’t stop the rapid decline of their market share.

+ Tell me this:
What tided Nokia over for the couple of past quarters?
Windows Phone?
Dear Steelicon,
The Symbian lost more and more market shares in the last quarter so it was no longer provinging Nokia some reasonable sales. Nokia lost market share even at the very same quarter the N8 was brought to the markets. What happened in the last quarter was just continuation to that.
Nokia should have ditched Symbian far earlier it actually did.
Please, everyone, tone down the insults.

+ $ is really good in cash or in kind! You’d have to get hired first. Go git ‘em tiger! LOL!
No thanks! I like the freedom of doing this cost free and for fun as a hobby. I’m also really excited about my future career as a doctor
In Microsoft propaganda strategic terminology it is called “Windows evangelism”, so more “evangelist”, not an “ambassador”.

Above is related to developers, but the same rules are for forums I suppose. And this mean an interested person can ask for the money there. No offence, this is just an opportunity which can be used.
Because I got my Lumia 900 I didn’t sleep last night… its so sweet to use I forgot to sleep. my free headset is next to come. and in the uk I have seen 3 people using the white… including me I count 4. I just wish nokia will stop this exclusive thing and put it out in all stores.
Are you kidding or have you really seen so many Lumia900 already in the wild?
I’ve visited a few AT&T store in San Francisco and a few reps have confirmed the Lumia 900 the second best selling phone on the carrier after the iPhone.
However, speaking with no bias, I don’t think there is any relation to the cyan case being out of stock to how well the phone is doing. After patiently waiting for the cyan case to be in stock, I finally asked a rep to order it for me and got it 3 days later. They clearly have in stock at their warehouse and it makes no sense why they aren’t stocking it at the stores or online stores when they are stocking the magenta and black case.
