Nokia Lumia 900 launch pushed back to May, blame US demand

25 April, 2012

If you are one of those waiting for the international launch of Lumia 900, we have some disappointing news. According to a Nokia’s spokesman, the Lumia 900 will launch in the UK on May 14 as opposed to previously expected April 27.

The reason is reportedly very simple – the high demand for Lumia 900 in the USA that Nokia must satisfy. So AT&T’s exclusivity will remain intact for a few more weeks.

Actually, as Nokia later pointed out, it has never given us exact launch date beyond the Q2 (April - June) time frame, so this shouldn’t be counted as a delay at all.

The spokesman talked specifically for the Phones4U UK availability, but we guess it should apply for the whole international launch as well.
