Default [Q] AT&T - Buffalo ?

Wondered if there are AT&T stores or authourized dealers in Buffalo that will be selling the Nokia Lumia 900 off contract on the first day it's available? I know most units are typically reserved for AT&T customers signing new agreement or upgrading.

If you are an AT&T store or authourized dealer and are selling them off contract, could you please post here or PM me if you can't post in forum?

I'm looking to buy Cyan colour.

Thanks in advance !

I'm in the same boat. Looking for the Cyan 900. But Rogers only has the boring black model. Would prefer it unbranded so I can use the tethering feature.. but also don't think paying $200-$300 more for an unlocked model is worth it.

eBay is our best bet.

Tethering is a feature in the Lumia 900 is it not? It's shipping with Tango (the OS not the app) or have mis-understood the features?

Correct it's a feature. But ATT locks tethering to them so unless you're using it on ATT this feature will never work for you. This is the problem I have using the ATT Titan on Telus.

If you unbranded it then this would unlock tethering to be used on any carrier. I did this with an old HD7.

Then I'll go with black from Rogers and get cyan spray paint ! I've lived with phones that are not fully functional. Rogers Samsung Focus on Fido for example. The SMS never worked right. Nice phone but SMS is a big part of communication, so it became an issue. Sold the phone and dumped Fido. All that said I'm using a Rogers Nokia Lumia 710 on Mobilicity right now. No issues at all.

If AT&T is locking the unit down on this feature... then it's a black unit from Rogers for me. Have to wait and see.

Calling all AT&T corporate stores or authourized dealers in Buffalo.....


Are you selling off contract? If you are, me and a few other Canadians will be right over. Please post and let us know or PM me if you are not allowed to post in forum.

Or anyone living in Buffalo buying one can let us know ?

So far the best I can find is on eBay for $575 shipping here for another $50. Def not worth it.

Patience is a virtue.

Ah... but I think these will likely get Tango first... only makes sense that AT&T flagship device would get priority.

Or.. then again... maybe not. Good to know what version it is. It does have tethering though, so is a version very close to Tango.
