Cyan Lumia 900 gets backordered on Amazon Wireless but still holds top spots

Cyan Lumia 900

We reported yesterday that AT&T had listed both the blackness and cyan Lumia 900's as backordered on their site and it was increasingly harder to find them in the stores (though nosotros have heard that certain stores yet have stock). Yet, we were a flake cautious to suggest that it was because the Lumias were selling out due to popularity. After all there was a expert gamble stock was beingness pulled to exist re-flashed with the new firmware to fix those information-connectedness issues.

While we're still non prepared to call the Lumia 900 a best-seller without firm numbers, at that place is seemingly more good news. On Amazon Wireless, the matte-black Lumia 900 has been holding the #1 spot under "AT&T phones with contracts" for one week at present with the cyan variant shut behind at number two. Just as impressive, the matte-black Lumia 900 has the #i spot across all carriers. Yowza.

What's more, the cyan version is now listed every bit back-ordered although the matte-black is listed equally still available.

That tells us a couple of things: the backorder business organization probably actually is due to stock shortage and not only phones being pulled for re-flashing of firmware, otherwise we'd expect the matte black variant to as well go back-ordered. The second is that the cyan version most probable has less stock available as compared to the matte-blackness. The cyan version has constantly trailed matte-black in the number two spot (and lower) over the last few days but it'due south the one listed as backordered.

Amazon's Top

That's probably not likewise surprising as the color choices of the Lumias accept always caused delays (and concluding we heard the glossy-white Lumia 900 was an in-store purchase only, it will exist curious to see if that holds adjacent Sunday when it is released).

Either way, it at to the lowest degree looks expert that the Lumia 900 has been number #1 and #2 on Amazon Wireless for one week. Those stats are updated hourly, non daily, which means it's a adequately skillful indicator of popularity. Backorder status, while frustrating, only adds to that perception (though for all we know, Nokia but had limited stock anyway).

With both phones holding 5 out of 5 stars from 250 reviews, user-satisfaction seems extraordinarily high as there's not a unmarried device in the height ten that has those stats. Fifty-fifty the Samsung Galaxy Southward II Skyrocket (4G LTE version) is sitting at #vii (black) and #23 (white) which is fascinating for such a popular line of Android phones.

Sadly, the much-overlooked HTC Titan Ii, a phone which we love hither at WPCentral, is sitting at a lowly #26. An obvious casualty of the Nokia-AT&T media saturation of the Lumia 900.
