All four of the corporate ATT stores around me are really busy with the Lumia 900 launch today.
They're closed.
So far, we've had a 3 song performance by Nicki Minaj in Times Square. Which to the general public just seemed to be sponsored by Nokia and nothing to do with a launch of a new phone.
Cute but vague commercials about beta phones.
Now, on launch day, the stores of the company who is promising more than a rubNtug to Nokiasoft are closed.
Isn't the point of a launch day to come out of the gates running? Is Nokia/Microsoft placing all bets for initial numbers on pre-orders? Only people who pre-ordered that I know of are forum members. LOL Everyone I know has been "What's Lumia?" or thought I had a case on an iPhone/Android this weekend.
I did peek into one of the stores today and do see Lumia signage everywhere. But c'mon now. That to me is not advertising larger than any ever seen before by ATT.
I hate being Debbie Downer but I truly want the Lumia to succeed in the US. Hopefully, I'll eat crow over the next few days.
PS. apparently, it's not just my city. http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/04/08/nokia-lumia-900-easter-sunday/
