When AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson was speaking at a conference in Los Angeles, he said that “Google determines what platform gets the newest releases and when. A lot of times, that’s a negotiated arrangement and that’s something we work at hard.” Google was clearly surprised by the answer AT&T gave because they make the latest Android updates available to anyone who wants it on their website.

Nokia Lumia 900 Hit With Data Connection Bug
The Nokia Lumia 900 smartphone has been hit with a bug as reported by people on Nokia, Phone Arena, and WPCentral forums. Windows Phone on the Nokia Lumia 900 loses data connections if the cellular link is restarted at any point. This problem also includes something as simple as airplane mode. You can fix the problem temporarily by booting up the phone without a SIM, shutting down, and then putting the SIM in again. It is believed that the unique phone identifiers (IMEIs) were not registering properly on the data network and AT&T is now taking the defective devices off the shelves.

Nokia Launches U.S. Ad Campaign For Lumia 900, Mocks iPhone
Nokia has launched a new website called “Smartphone Beta Test” to promote the AT&T Lumia 900, powered by Windows Phone. The website has a countdown clock that is set to expire on April 6th and there is a video of Chris Parnell sitting in a chair looking bored. Below that video are links to three other videos that features two people convincing another person that his iPhone is working normally despite losing reception for holding it wrong, the screen washing out in the sun, and for being fragile. The ad about the phone being fragile has a date stamp that says 2007 and towards the end of the video he talks about how mortgate-backed securities are a terrific investment too. The guy talking about them has “a friend at Lehman” too.
