14 DAY TRIAL // Around 80 percent of AT&T’s Front Seller employees are expected to use the new Nokia Lumia 900 handset as soon as it becomes available for purchase on the wireless carrier’s network.
Rumor has it that the carrier might have the new device available for purchase starting with April 8th, though nothing has been confirmed on the matter as of yet.
Apparently, Microsoft and Nokia are preparing a big push for the smartphone in the country, and AT&T’s customers will help in this direction.
New reports on the matter suggest that the Finnish handset vendor will pay AT&T $25 million to have the Lumia 900 set as the device for ‘Company Use’.
Basically, this means that all Front Seller employees could receive the smartphone at no cost. However, they would have to give their previous CU devices back (meaning Android handsets and iPhones).
Apparently, employees can chose not to get the handset, but Nokia expects most of them to make the move to its Windows Phone smartphone, since it is offered for free.
This means that most of AT&T’s Front Seller staff will get to better know not only its mobile device, but also the Windows Phone platform.
Apparently, Nokia Lumia 900 is indeed the game changer that would determine even the “iPhone carrier” to change its options.
And with Microsoft pushing the “Smoked by Windows Phone” marketing campaign to the streets, the mobile OS might have finally got in the position that will help it gain the market share to become relevant once again.
Windows Phone packs a nice range of capabilities that help users find their way to things that interest them fast and easy, and also offers support for services such as Bing or Xbox Live. Lumia devices also benefit from exclusive applications coming from Nokia.
Apparently, AT&T has already started to train employees on the upcoming Nokia Lumia 900 device, and is currently delivering handsets to its stores around the country, which means that the release date should be near.
