The sell out could be good or bad. Here's speculation that the current stock had been recalled, but since the bug fix went live yesterday, let's see if they comes back into stock right away or not.

Nokia Lumia 900 out of stock, but not for the reason you think
April 13, 2012 | By Surur
We have been receiving reports that the Nokia Lumia 900 is no longer available at stores. If this was due to the handset selling out that would of course be good news, but reader Naren has clued us into the real reason.

Apparently Nokia and AT&T are pulling the Lumia 900 of stock shelves and returning it to Nokia to be flashed with the new, LTE-bug free firmware.

This process will apparently take 3-5 days, meaning the phones will only get in stock early next week.

The phone is still available online, where of course either shipment can be delayed until fixed handsets are available, or they can make sure only handsets free of the problem are being sent out.

Hopefully Nokia can keep the turn around time as short as possible and get the handset back on the shelves before the launch buzz fades.

Thanks Naren and Abishek for the tip.

Zax, what is your opinion as to whether the current AT&T stock was part of the Q1's shipment volume (2 million Lumias). The quarter ended about a week before the launch, which seems like it would be a grey area. I would like to think that "expectations" we're high enough that the initial launch volume was at least several hundred thousand.

Yeah, website says it is sold out in both colors. Users seem to be out of their mind happy with their phones judging from the reviews.

Think that is good and bad news as most people probably don't wait for a particular model. Will just get something else.
