On the heels of the launch of the Lumia 900 in both Canada and the U.S., Nokia has confirmed that it has identified “a memory management issue was discovered that could, in some cases, lead to loss of data connectivity.” If there is good news to be found here, it is that the issue is purely a software problem rather than hardware or even something with AT&T’s network.
A fix is already in the works. Nokia is aiming to release a software update to correct this issue on April 16th. The update will be pushed through Zune.
In the U.S., Nokia is also offering to swap out affected units with new upgraded ones. It will also give anyone who purchased or will purchase a Lumia 900 by April 21st a US$100 credit on their AT&T bill.
Update: Good news! Nokia has also confirmed that Canadians will also be entitled to the refund: According to Phil Schwarzmann, Nokia’s Head of Social Media for North America: “For our friends in Canada – Anyone who has already purchased the Lumia 900 or purchases it from now until April 21st, will be getting a $100 credit on their Rogers bill.”
