Nokia paying AT&T up to $25 million for exclusive employee use of Lumia 900 Windows Phone

“We’ve heard numerous times that the Nokia Lumia 900 will be a ‘hero’ device for AT&T, a term that is unfamiliar for many who are not in the business of smartphones,” Daniel Rubino reports for wpcentral. “Here, the usage refers to AT&T promoting the Lumia 900 on the level of the Apple iPhone meaning we should expect a very intensive media campaign for the flagship Nokia device and it taking center stage on one of the largest carriers in the US.”
“One way to do that is to put the phone in the hands of those on the front lines — the sales reps at the AT&T stores,” Rubino reports. “AT&T has designated the Nokia Lumia 900 for ‘Company Use’ meaning all Front Seller employees are eligible to receive the phone at no cost. The trade off is though is that employees have to turn in their current ‘Company Use’ phones, namely the iPhone and certain Android devices.”
