Nokia Lumia 900 Coming to Canada


Ignore the at&t logo and insert Rogers

I am a big advocate of the Windows Phone SmartPhone platform.  I’m now at the point where I can’t imagine going back to an iPhone or Android (don’t even get me started on BlackBerry!) Imagine my disappointment when I saw the new premier Windows Phone, the Nokia Lumia 900, was going to be in the USA March, but wasn’t coming to Canada.  Nokia was coming to Canada, but only with the 710 and 800 which are smaller and less powerful than the 900.  Even more disappointing for me was that my wireless carrier was only getting the 710 – the lesser of the two Nokia phones coming to Canada (Telus is getting the 800).  I was so upset I even wrote Rogers voicing my surprise that Rogers wasn’t getting the best Windows Phone out there.  I now started to worry that my beloved Windows Phone platform was being abandoned by one of Canada’s largest wireless carries before it even had a chance to breakthrough with the offerings from Nokia.
Today I was elated to hear that the Lumia was coming to Canada in April and it was coming to Rogers!  Whoo-hoo!  I’ve already filled out the form to be notified when they announce pre-sales of the device.  My only problem is that I’ll only be about half-way through my contract so it looks like I’ll have to buy this one unless there is some deal they’ll offer.  Here’s hoping!
