The FW version is the following:

  • OS Version: 7.10.8112.7

The speedy reaction time is quite a bit different from what has been going on with the Nokia Lumia 800…This is what tons of cash and marketing can do: better consumer support. Also remember that Nokia / AT&T are offering $100 to all Nokia Lumia 900 owners if the devices is bought before April 21th.
