I stopped in my local ATT store today and got to play around with the 900! There were a bunch of reps and managers in the store and it was not busy at the time, so I went over and asked if there was any chance they had a Nokia Lumia 900 in the store or in the back yet to look at...there was a weird silence and first a reply of, "no sorry, but it will be available in a couple weeks"...so I say thanks, turn around and begin to play with a galaxy note. about 30 secs later a nice rep comes over with a cyan blue, fully operational 900 in hand and said that he just got the ok to show me (they must have conferred while I was on the note).
I sat with the guy and played around for 5 minutes or so, tested the camera- albeit in crappy store lighting...all in all, it was a pretty cool experience. being there is little disparity in windows devices, I was primarily concerned with the build quality, screen, and camera. All of which seemed very nice- smooth finish, the blue actually looked good- not too loud. the screen was great, and the camera seemed to shoot well i the few shots I took in store...but it still wasn't enough to sell me...it's just too far behind the times in technology to warrant a upgrade at this point IMO. I think I will wait for the HTC One X...I just wish the lumia had a higher resolution screen!!! Im on a qhd right now and going backwards just doesn't seem right. guess I will have to sleep on it for a few nights.
moral of the story...get to ATT and ask, they probably have one in house!!
