Earlier today Nokia stated that over 2 million Lumia devices have been sold, but exact sales numbers for Canada are not known. What we do know is that Canadian retailers are relatively happy with the way that Nokia’s Lumia sales are going. TELUS recently released the Lumia 800, and Rogers has both the Lumia 710 and LTE-powered Lumia 900.
You might have heard that the AT&T version of the Nokia Lumia 900 experienced a “memory management” software issue that caused data to occasionally drop. To remedy this Nokia will be pushing out an update “on or around Monday, April 16th.” In addition, Nokia has also given the option to those who purchased the device to swap it out for a new one, plus they’ve offered up a $100 credit to their AT&T bill.
Good news for us Canadians tonight as it seems we’ll be getting the same treatment. Confirmation from Phil Schwarzmann, Nokia’s Head of Social Media for North America, has taken to the company blog and stated that “For our friends in Canada – Anyone who has already purchased the Lumia 900 or purchases it from now until April 21st, will be getting a $100 credit on their Rogers bill.”
Pretty good deal as the Lumia 900 is currently $99.99 on a 3-year term.
Update: Rogers sent us a note that stated “Customer’s on a 1, 2, or 3-yr plan are eligible for the credit. Customers who have questions about their situation specifically should reach out to the @RogersHelps team on Twitter or Facebook. Anyone who reserves their device before Apr 21, will also get the $100 credit.”
