Well I guess it is not Nokia's fault that the US carrier they get involved with cannot get its act straight.

The nightmare begins. AT&T has a promo free wireless charging plate and a phone for $99.99. I really want the Yellow Lumia 920, and it is an online only color. Ok no biggie I order it online maybe 5 hours after the phone goes for presale. It was supposed to ship today. Guess what. AT&T doesn't have it ready to ship. On top of that Walmart in the US now has the phone for sale for $49.99. Now AT&T is saying 7-10 days for the yellow phone to ship. When you see all those commercials for the Lumia 920 on TV, especially during the NFL games ( http://thedroidguy.com/2012/11/micro...-nfl-football/ ) they don't ever mention how much of a f|_|cking fail AT&T their "exclusive" carrier partner is. You can not get your hands on the exact phone you want. "We made one for each of us" is the refrain used in their marketing, yeah my as$. I go on a business trip for 2 weeks in 2 days and their exclusive distributor in the states drops the ball hardcore. Oh yeah that free wireless charging plate it is on back order also. Crap like this is why Nokia will never make a dent in the US market.
I loathe Apple and Android because of Closed OS and fragmentation, and honestly after using WP 7.5 I like it as my secondary phone, but releasing a product that is supposed to save a company (other than selling their mapping services) this release is a joke.
I love the fact that my primary is a N9, it got released I ordered it, and it showed up. Simple. Painless. The best phone I could've asked for at the time.
Lumiaman - you post constantly on this forum about how great WP phones are...step up kid, explain this debacle. Oh wait I should just get a black matte Lumia 920 and not the phone I want that is on every single advertisement from Nokia's FB page to the commercials they air during the highest rated televisions broadcasts in the US.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHY NOKIA WILL FAIL IN THE US.
