The Finnish mobile giant Nokia earlier had confirmed the data connection problems that some early buyers have seen on the Lumia 900, stating the issue is memory management issue. Furthermore, the company confirms that the problem is because of a software bug not a hardware issue or a problem with AT&T’s LTE network. The company promising a firmware update by next Monday — but they’ve beat their goal. But yes don’t worry as you’ll still be getting your $100 bill credit for your trouble as long as you buy (or have bought) your phone prior to April 21st.
Here’s Nokia’s full statement:
Earlier this week, Nokia communicated about a memory management issue with the recently launched Nokia Lumia 900 at AT&T that, in some cases, was leading to a loss of data connectivity.
When this news was issued on Tuesday, Nokia had identified that a software update would be available for consumer download on or around April 16th. Today, we’d like to share with you that the update is now available. Consumers now have the opportunity to update their AT&T version Nokia Lumia 900 software through Zune and Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac earlier than anticipated.
Consumers are still able to swap out their Lumia 900 for an updated Lumia 900 in an AT&T store if they’d prefer. And, of course, the $100 credit offer will remain in effect through Midnight PST on April 21st.
