Hi guys,
I'm from Brazil and I want to buy a Lumia 900. Howevery, here in Brazil we dont have the 900, yet.
So, If i buy a Lumia 900 at USA, will it work here in Brazil? Do i need to unlock the mobile? Is it possible?
Thanks a lot
The AT&T ones arent unlockable (Yet). There are some folks claiming its a few days away. Some say AT&T told them Oct. of this year.
I wouldnt buy anything until you KNOW you can get it unlocked.
The rogers units in canada are unlockable buy calling rogers for the code.
I would suggest verifying the model you buy has the right radio equipment in it to work in your market/carrier before putting any money down.
Can you flash the UK version firmware on the AT&T Lumia 900? I am in Australia so the LTE isnt spported here anyway but the UK software is the Tango update and is unbranded.

Ummm...why would you want to? Tango is the most minor of updates, that so far hasn't shown anything really useful for the 900. Why risk it... you can always pick up a HTC Sensation and fullfill your flashing urge there. I hear they have a ROM now that will turn that baby into an iPhone 6....with a few tweets and such....
I've been noticing in tons of pics that some Lumia's have differences in the oval chrome on the back of the unit.
My Rogers Lumia 900 unit (and the 6 I returned due to purple screen) all only say "Carl Zeiss" on the oval chrome peice...
I have seen in numerous videos and pictures that some units actually say "NOKIA" in big bold letters, and then have "Carl Zeiss" in smaller letters beside it...
Could this have any correlation with the purple screen issue? Are there different hardware revisions of this phone?
Just today, I saw that the batman edition (or whatever it's called), has Nokia in big letters (not like mine)...
Anyone got the 411 on this?
Mine has the "Nokia" branding on the chrome. European ones won't have the LTE capability, I don't know if that has any bearing on it?
Mine has the Carl Zeiss branding. I suspect it may be due to the age of the units, since mine was one of the first ones out for Canada.
It may be that the newer units have the NOKIA branding on the back.

I think your logic may be backward as I believe the European models hit the stores in Europe before we got them here in Canada. I may be wrong but I think that's how it worked...

Actually in Canada we got ours when the US did I think... We were way before Europe!
As far as the purple screen, I went through 5 or 6 and all (including the one I have right now) have the purple screen issue...
Mine (Rogers):
NOKIA | Carl Zeiss Tessar
the manufacture date of my Lumia 900 is 16th week of 2012 (16/4-22/4)
This is a branding issue. The reason why Europeans have Nokia written on chrome part is because they are aware of the fact that Nokia uses Carl Zeiss.
North American market however, especially US need Carl Zeiss branding to sell more devices to people who are not aware of the Carl Zeiss. But both phones are the same.

Interesting, thanks for letting us now... And did yours have the purple screen issue?
All 5 or 6 of the devices I picked up were week 13 of 2012 ( 13 2012) didn't say Nokia on the back and had the purple screen issue... Even after replacing my phone and waiting a week or two each time... Unfortunately in a city of 1.4 million people, only 10 units were sent to all the Best Buys here (2 in each store), and I was the only person who bought a Lumia 900 in a period of 5-8 weeks.
No one was buying these, so none of the stores needed new stock... All phones were week 13 I finally gave up and kept the purple screen

Western Canada or Eastern?
Quick question... I am in Canada on Rogers and have the Rogers version of the Lumia 900.
Now... The box states that this is an RM-808 (US / North American) model device but an app I had called "System Settings Pro" or something like that stated that the device is an RM-823 (Euro / International) model.
Does anyone have any insight on this?

At the bottom of the phone (flat side) there is the code for your phone (FCC XXXXXRM-808)
if it says 823, you are good to go to Navifirm and get your lumia the Tango update.
