Nokia and AT&T introduced a new advertisement to open sales of the Lumia 900 Windows Phone, touting the phone's capabilities surpassing all other phones and thus ending the so-called beta test period of smart phones.
Some people were running to the discussion boards complaining that their Lumia 900 phones were having trouble connecting to data services.
It didn't take too long before Nokia identified the problem as a software bug in the phones. So Nokia's now offering everyone with a Lumia 900 - not just the people who have run into the problem - a $100 credit. Obviously software bugs are present in all the phones, but that users have only triggered the bug by a specific order of events.
In other words, buyers were beta testers and the phones were shipped without exhaustive QA / QT.
And there you go -- the flagship Nokia Windows Phone that was supposed to surpass all others, in fact is buggy.
How's that for comedic irony?
