The demand for the Lumia 900 in the US is said to be the reason why it got delayed in Europe and other regions. The Lumia 900 was also the first Windows Phone to top the Amazon Best seller chart and they often get listed as backordered on Amazon website but now it looks like all the 3 Lumias are in stock. Yes the Black, Cyan and White Nokia Lumia 900 are in stock, we don’t know for how long so if you are planning to grab one get clicking on those links. Which one do you think is the best ? I am in love with the Cyan now. ( I used to prefer the black before )

We got a tip from one of our readers saying Orange Switzerland is taking pre-orders for the Lumia 900, I am not familiar with he carrier and how they run things there but it would seem Orange Switzerland is sending out email blasts which suggest users can signup for the Lumia 900 and if you are already an Orange customer and renew your contract online, you will get 120 CHf of your bill. This is valid till the 31.05.2012. From the banner it looks like you can get the Lumia 900 starting at 1 Swiss Franc depending on which subscription you make.
Today we will be interviewing one of the legends on the Windows Phone Homebrew Scene Heathcliff74, this guys has got some great apps for the homebrew community the most known one has to be Windows Phone root Tools an app that all homebrewers should install. So lets try and figure out a bit more about this “Heathcliff74″ shall we ..
Hi tell us a bit about yourself .
I’m 37 years old, married and proud father of 2 kids. I have a bachelor degree in Software Engineering. I live in the Netherlands.
Hey you are not that Dutch hacker who held all those jailbroken iPhones hostage for €5 are you ? ( just kidding ) … well are you ?
Why Heathcliff74 ?
I chose Heathcliff74 as nickname because at the time I was watching the Heathcliff cartoon cat (long time ago). ’74 is my birth-year, which I added because on every forum there already is a “Heathcliff” :-)
are you sure it has nothing to do with lasagna ?
What do you do ?
I have been working for my current employer for almost 15 years now and we develop ERP software quite successfully. But I’d like to move to mobile technology professionally too. So I will see if this is possible with my current employer, or else I might consider a career-switch.
