its wp 7.5 and nokia hw that will make it buy able.
I will officially consider it launched when at&t puts a nokia wp7 phone in their stores on april something because this is how 99% of consumers in the US buy their phones. the lumia 900, if that doesn't sell, we'll see. actually if that doesn't sell I still think nokia will keep going with wp7, as a matter of fact, if nothing sells they will still go with wp7. if they can't sell with wp7 in US, they not going to be able to sell with ANYTHING else. my point.
they need the att trolls on their side. but I know they know that now,(from press releases)
T-Mobile is the 3rd carrier they have had the low end 710 for sale in their stores but only since jan '12, that's 3 months. plus T-Mobile is the tech savvy peoples company, they let you and encourage you to bring your own phone with cheaper plans.
