Nokia 900
AT&T has been in the Windows Phone headlines of recent with it’s snubbing of the 8107 Update, receiving much scrutiny for it’s decision not to rollout the update to it’s WP subscribers. Perhaps in an attempt to redeem themselves, AT&T announced they in conjunction with Nokia will be marketing the Nokia Lumia 900 with more force upon it’s April 8th launch date than when they released the iPhone. In addition AT&T has offered some explanation as to why their WP subscribers will have to wait for the 8107 Update and when to expect it. For more details read past the break.

8107update
A couple of weeks ago I wrote an article here about why I consider WP and the US a bad match. Today AT&T helped to drive that point home to its many subscribers who are WP owners. In an unfortunate tweet today one of AT&T’s community managers informed us that AT&T will NOT release the 8107 Update that fixes the mysteriously disappearing keyboard and adds some additional security features. Instead they are opting to pass on yet another update, as Update 7740 came and went with barely a whisper since most WP owners were more concerned with the keyboard issue. Would you believe AT&T is Windows Phone’s biggest supporter in the US? Just sad…

Nokia-USA
It doesn’t matter what country or region you’re from. Whether you own or follow Windows Phone you know Microsoft has an uphill battle to gain a legitimate mobile market share. While AT&T and WP seem to be a good fit here in the US, the US is going to be Microsoft’s toughest customer to win over and it’s not entirely Microsoft’s fault. While many countries are positively responding to an influx of new WP devices with WP slowly gaining in global market share, there is a good chance US will be the last country to reflect any WP growth and the last 3 months prove it.

AUWP7
There have been several countries that have been left behind when it comes to second generation Windows Phones. Canada is now confirmed to get 2nd generation support from Microsoft, by receiving the HTC Radar, Nokia 710 and 800. That left Australia as one of the larger countries still remaining without any 2nd gen. devices. With device marketshare dropping as well as a slip in mobile browser marketshare, Australia will be getting the shot in the arm they so desperately need to positively reflect the currently small and slow international growth trend of WP. Fortunately for WP and Australia, the arrival of the 2nd generation devices has marked an immediate increase in both statistical markers across Europe. With an Australian market hungry to be unpdated to 2nd gen. devices, WP should see an improvement in sales with 2 new models on the way. Read on past the break to find out which models, where, and when…
