Microsoft WP sales are good, possibly because carriers are tired of accepting Apple orders

[CCIDNet News] On April 30, according to foreign media reports, AT&T is currently planning to launch a new marketing strategy aimed at increasing sales of the Nokia Lumia 900. AT&T has already put a lot of effort into promoting Lumia 900 sales. Buyers have praised the sales staff at AT&T stores, complimenting them for being very knowledgeable about the device when recommending this smartphone. From the current situation, it seems their efforts have yielded good results, as AT&T reported that sales of the Lumia 900 have exceeded their expectations.\ At the same time, AT&T's main competitor Verizon Wireless recently stated that it will also collaborate with Microsoft on Windows Phone 8 smartphones, and after this year, we will see Verizon Wireless selling smartphones using the mobile OS system. This move sharply contrasts with Verizon's previous support for Windows Phone. Verizon Wireless has only sold one model of Windows Phone, the HTC Trophy, which is the first-generation Windows Phone, and it has been on the market for 18 months.\ General observers might think that the increasing interest of carriers in Windows Phone indicates that the OS system is finally receiving the attention it always deserved. But beyond that, are there other implications?\ Katie Lewis, an associate analyst at Yankee Group, believes that a recent New York Times report stated that the two major U.S. carriers are gradually paying more attention to Windows Phone. She said that the actions of these two carriers "make Apple's influence in the device ecosystem seem less far-reaching." She added, "Mobile carriers may be getting tired of orders from Apple," and "iPhone is gradually taking up a very significant proportion of smartphone sales at mobile carriers."\*Content source: Sohu IT*
