Joe Belfiore, Microsoft's Head of Windows Phone, says that Nokia’s Lumia 900 smartphone is awesome. He says that he has been using one unit for the past few weeks, and that he’s pleasantly impressed with what the device has to offer.

According to him, there are no issues with the device, and any other posts coming from him stating otherwise are fake.

He makes reference to alleged responses from him to a Facebook inquiry. On March 18th, a user asked about Lumia’s 900 availability, and Belfiore allegedly said that issues with it resulted in a delay to April.

On his official Twitter account, Belfiore said that Lumia 900 was in fact great, and that there were no issues with it. As for the release date, Nokia and AT&T will have to agree upon that, not Microsoft.

No official announcement on the handset’s release date has been made so far, but rumor has it that it might be launched on April 8th.
